Turns out you can't take follower of the silver flame if you are shadr kai, going to using a heart of wood and try monk level instead -

One note and two questions:
Note: Dodge feat is 3, not 2, so that would make the Dodge total 26.
Question 1: What skills do you recommend?
Question 2: Improved Precise Shot stance or Archer's Focus stance?

Looks like some of the epics have changed since you last updated the google doc. Do you have an update? For instance, Shiradi Champion's left side is now a chain all the way up, starting from an active ability called Prism.

Also, I since we are using the Morninglord's Longbow, which is Silver, shouldn't we take a different feat than Pierce Silver?

Mine too. Be that as it may, am I right that the Google doc is out of date with the current destinies? Or is the Prism chain what is intended? Listing them here for discernment...

Shiradi Champion:
T0: All
T1: Prism, Good Luck (3), Pin, Fey Sight (2)
T2: Stay Good (3), Phase Double (3), Enemy of My Own
T3: Double Rainbow, Pierce Deception, Hunt's End, Queen's Diplomacy
T4: Cruelty of the Hunt, Track, Queen's Diplomacy, Overwhelming Force
T5: Nerve Venom, Lore of the Hunt, Feywild Attunement, Inexorable Advance

Shadowdancer:
T0: Shadow Training, Step through Shadows, The Darkest Luck
T1: Cover of Darkness (3), Technician (3)
T2: Dance in the Dark (3)
T3: Shadowstriker

Legendary Dreadnaught:
T0: Fearless, Weaponmaster, Thick Skinned
T1: Push Through the Line (3), Shrug Off Punishment (1)
T2: Extra Action Boost (3), Esoteric Touch (1)

much better bows then that

its a good starting point
Ignoring raid bows, as this is a no-raid-loot build, are there? Maybe there are, but it's the bow listed for the build. So if Pierce Silver, cos' not Morninglord's Bow, then which bow. If yes Morninglord's Bow, then which Pierce feat?

either vecna or dino

can get all most everything for it non raid from wild
Cool cool. I assume by Vecna you mean Legendary Shining Reliquary Longbow and by dino I'm assuming Dinosaur Bone Longbow. Both of these raise further questions:

For both bows:
Would you change Ying's list of filigrees, or does his list hold regardless?

For LSRL:
Since this has Improved Destruction, we won't need the named augment (Deconstructor) listed in the build. What two augments would you suggest?

For DBL:
What are your suggestions for crafting on this? For augments, I'd guess still go with Deconstructor for the one of the slots. What would you suggest for the other?

Either Shadowhorn/tar (Ooze) or Melthorn (Dust) for the debuffs and then whatever else you feel like.

I publish and update builds that I actually play. I'm not playing a first life bow, or any ranged, at the moment. So I won't be updating this thread. Someone else is welcome to post a first life bow guide with updated epic destinies.

Pierce: Silver is there so you can grow into other bows besides the free Ravenloft one without having to worry about feat respecs. That's meant to be a starter bow, not where you want to ultimately end up.

Understandable. I hope you don't mind some questions, though. Did I get the list of Epics correct?
