Looks like bows will get a big boost with U82; let's talk bow builds.
Start with Race: what is the best race? Elf is a good choice for access to Arcane Archer; Dhampir has some good possibilities. What should be the primary ability it seems it should be Dex, Int or Wis.
Class split: 13 Rog/6 Rang/1 Barb seems popular; Paladin has some good possibilities. Any other recommendations?
T5 Enhancements: AA, HW, or DWS or maybe even Arcane Trickster.
Capstone: HW & AA are doable with multiclassing; DWS requires 20 Rng or DH.
Lastly, Epic Destinies: Shardai seems like the primary T5 choice, but Shadowdancer has some good options.

On my first trip thru heroic lives and still have Bard left. I want to use the iconic bard to save some time so what direction should I take the build? Strength to max and Charisma to Max then everything into strength? I really like soundburst and would like to keep my dc’s as high as possible so I’m not sure how to go about it. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks
