So at this point I'm building a standard Ranged Ranger, but I want to make him into a powerhouse of DPS and awesomeness.
As it stands, we're going into our 12th level (all levels in ranger) and I'm looking like this
ATTRIBUTES
STR: 14 -> +2
DEX: 26 -> +8 [Dex +4 headband]
CON: 10 -> +0
INT: 12 -> +1
WIS: 18 -> +4 [Wis +4 belt]
CHA: 8 -> -1
EQUIPMENT
+1 +2Mighty Holy Composite Longbow (1D8+5 +2D6) +GRAV BOW+ (2D6+5 +2D6)
+3 Mithral Celestial Chainmail
MasterWork +2 Mighty Composite Longbow (just in case)
Elven Curved Blade
Boots of Elven Kind
Cloak of Resistance +4
Belt of Wis +4
Head of Dex +4
Wand of Gravity Bow
Wand of Aspect of the Falcon
Ring of Invisibility
Bracers of Lesser Archery
Efficient Quiver
Eyes of the Eagle
FEATS
Precise Shot
Point Blank Shot
Rapid Shot
Endurance
Many Shot
Weapon Focus [Longbow]
Snapshot
Improved Snapshot
Clustered Shots
Deadly Aim
I'm worried about being, essentially, out shined in all aspects by most of the other people in my party (essentially the melee bruisers and the Ki Archer [with endless supplies of name bullet potions and loaded SR beating dice [<grudge/bias, lol]). I really want to be able to deal some serious damage as my character himself is evolving into a serious sort of powerhouse (and as such I want the mechanical gameplay aspect of him to go hand in hand with this)
Any ideas on feats that should be changed/picked up. Items, weapon changes, etc, etc. And especially if it's worth it to start taking cross class opportunities and lose out on things like Improved Quarry, Hide in Plain Sight and to a lesser extent, Master Hunter.

personally i like fighters for archers better than rangers. if you wanna outshine the other players go for a wizard, shaping focused druid, or gunslinger
now keeping ranger on the table, i don't know if snapshot is worth it. I hope the melee bruisers should keep the baddies off of you hopefully, parting shot could be good to keep out of trouble.
something funny to do, grab bowyer craft skill and craft magic arms and armor, and you can use your craft bowyer to create your own bow with your craft ranks as your caster level with the master craftsmen feat
I really like fighters better for archers because there are many more bonuses
