The shadow archer is one my favorites in DDO, he is really a show to behold and is an excellent ranged DPS unit. This build has a lot of melee prowess, equal to a monk of level 15-17 although you will suffer damage due to low AC. Still this build gives the versatility that really matters to a ranger in low level up to levels 9-12, he can switch whenever needed because two weapon fighting, two handed fighting and also the archery are so close by you can switch whenever you want. But afterward too the weapon finesse feat is a great boon while soloing, although considered weak by other classes like fighters and barbarians the shadow archers really matter when its a raid/ extreme challenge quests where it's not only tough but impossible without an archer that can shoot magic without ever running out of SP like wizards and sorcerers and also sneak like a shadow without alarming a difficult fight like a construct. The favored enemy enchantments have also been maximized to give a much greater help to the teammates where they find it difficult. Also with this build you get awesome soloing ability and let me tell you with just a healer hireling you will pass on hard level easy peasy.
