I havent tried but i suspect that using Stunning Arrow followed by a Taser shot WILL indeed stun a boss. This could make Taser worth taking imho...
I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Both Stunning Shot and Taser are MAG3 stuns - so, yes, both stacked onto a boss should stun said boss. I say "should" because who knows if that boss has any type of mez resists (like EB's and AV's get the purple triangles).
Plus, with the new animation/activation times that Issue 11 introduced, archery will become more popular. It's a great set for early on in the game due to the high accuracy; and the late-game lethal-resists are overcome by one of the best nukes in the game: rain of arrows.

"Look how many pages of crap are in this thread already!" -r0y to all threads on these forums.
about Cloaking Device, i've noticed in the description that it grants +DMG. i don't know exactly how much dmg it boosts but i have noticed an increase in my killing speed since taking Cloaking Device at lvl 22. it could just be that i started using SOs at lvl 22 but who knows.
about Trip Mines, i like to use them against bosses and mobs in general for fun. in Guild Wars, Rangers are often used as "Trappers" where you lay down different traps and pull a mob over them to kill a large amount of baddies all at once. what i do with trip mines is lay a bunch of them down by a corner and then pull a mob and run around the corner forcing the villains to activate the mine... it's pretty effective, if you're willing to take the time to lay down the mines. i just barely got Trip Mines and i only have them slotted for 1Acc, 2Recharge but they're still pretty effective without Dmg slotted yet.
for fun you can lay down Trip Mines in a social area to create a club feel for people to dance around... 
about Targeting Drone, besides that awesome +Acc it also boost perception and gives resis to AccDebuff... 
it just makes that power even greater.
i'm constantly running Cloaking Device and Targeting Drone while playing and i never have trouble with Endurance.
i've never been able to get into playing a blaster before this, and for a while it was frustrating, but now it's one of my favorite toons. the ability to play different ways and adjust to any situation, which Archery/Devices allows, makes up for the lack of pure Dmg... IMO

My arch/dev is 21 atm, and I currently have the leaping pool (cj, sj, acrobatics), fitness pool (swift, health, stamina), and speed pool (hasten). I only have three dev powers atm, including targetting drone. I have several archery powers, but I REALLY want the cloaking device at 22 to stealth TFs and such. What are your opinions on me squeezing the power in? Should I do it at the cost of hardly any other arch/dev powers atm? Or should I wait until I have dev. more developed? Opinions and feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks 
i still enjoy this guide..:-)

[/ QUOTE ]i really don't see a need for hasten... i'd drop that and take cloaking when it's available

Does targeting drone give bonus damage on ranged shot like it does with sniper rifle?
[/ QUOTE ]
No.

Seems like it should since both sets suffer from the same all lethal snipe damage and lack of build up.

Archery has Aim. AR doesn't.
