Thanks guys, that thread is great, I'll check it out.
Great advice from Dave Justus, thanks for that as well :)

So last week I asked about a Gestalt archer. I've since moved away from the idea for that game, but am now beginning to gear up for another game (not gestalt), and would like to revisit the archer option. Guidelines:
First level
All PF content (no 3rd party content)
Would like to maximize damage
Willing to wait for the build to become good, but would like to hear when it is expected to become good (around what level)
Would rather use a bow, but willing to hear about different ranged weapons

Looking for advice on any and all options (race, class, feats, spells... Whatever).

Thank everybody in advance :)

Regarding Ranger, any thoughts on the Divine Marksman archetype? Are the trades it makes worthwhile in your opinion? (I just don't love Ranger spellcasting and would like to trade it for something good)

Thanks to everybody for your thoughts!
Regarding Melkiador's question, I'd love to maximize damage. Bonus points for utility that doesn't trade away too much damage.

Thank you guys!
So Eldritch Archer definitely looks awesome. From what I see, Ranger has the added benefit of the Animal Companion (so I can move and Full Attack), while Fighter gets me way way more feats, which seems to be a really good thing for an archer.
Any thoughts on Zen Archer? Maybe just as a dip, to grab some quick easy feats.
Would also love to hear some takes on Inquisitor and how that plays into this debate because I haven't had any interaction with the class.

Just the title. All PF materials are allowed, no 3rd party stuff. Starting at 1st but it's okay if the build only really pays off a little later on.
I've heard lots about Zen Archer, Eldritch Archer, Fighter, Ranger and Inquisitor. Also heard something about the Slayer being okay.
I'd love to hear some concrete advice on what you would suggest, including classes, archetypes, feats, spells if any and any other choices to be made.
Looking forward to reading your thoughts!
