Archers are kinda low damage until you get to Awakening, when they turn into mighty machines of ranged death. You may want to rethink the whole archery thing unless you're good with not doing much in the way of damage until level 26.
It's spelled rogue. Rouge is the French word for red. It's also a form of makeup.
Kind of funny my spell check didn't catch it if it's a french word! lol
I plan on being a support member as a bard, and with scattershot. I don't think it's as weak as people make it out to be.
That's because it isn't as weak as many make it out to be. Archers can be very effective, but you will be autoattacking most of the time since the talents take a loooooooooooooooooooooong time to activate.
Anyway, as an archer who focuses on dex you can't really go wrong with any spec imo.
Duelist is of course nice. +10 attack is always good and with keen defense yor are even better, but you will be staying away from the enemy so the added defense doesn't do much if you play in a smart way.
Bard songs use cunning as a modifier so a good amount of cunning would be ideal for it, but song of courage can still be good, but you could bring along lelianna instead and have her use a cunning build and enjoy the benefits from her and choose another spec.
Assasins also gets bonuses from cunning, but the 2, 3 and 4th talent there only deals with melee so you only need the first one there which is mark of death. That is an awesome talent though and frees up 3 points you can use on other talents like stealth or whatever.
Ranger can be very good with an archer. You will have one more melee unit to grap attention which will make life easier for you and it will take the enemy longer to take out your squad.
So they are all good in their own way really...mostly depends on how you want to play.
