My Ultimate Archer/Ranger build:

Should you be interested in being scoffed at by other players and socially ostracized from group content then I can recommend the following build:

Sorcerer. Altmer because Legolas.

Mundus stone boon: The Steed. "Run away" speed
and
health regeneration so you don't need a healer to tag along with you on quests.

1/3 attribute points into health/stamina/magicka

Sets: Oblivion's Foe (crafted, because it'll double your Soul skills' damage and increases health, stamina and magicka)
also Armor of the Trainee, for even more health, stamina and magicka!

On your front bar you would have the following skills:

1) the little sorc pet
2) the bigger sorc pet, probably the flappy wing thing that's always up in your camera in banks
3) shadow silk (because it's like a net, which is ranger-y, and the synergy summons spiders to do your hippie bidding and it's what you see when you freak out on the grass)
4) dark exchange, because it makes you levitate, thus giving a higher platform from which to shoot arrows
5) equilibrium, to gain back magicka so you can cast more webs
Ultimate? Summon Atronach! The biggest pet of them all.

What? No bow skills on the front bar?

No! Because other players are prejudiced against a "bow main weapon" build that on your front bar you have:

One Single Sword.

Why? Because it looks dope. Plus, if you carry a shield there's no room to string your quiver.

On the back bar with your bow equipped you can slot the following skills:

1) silver leash - because you can hit mobs up in trees and pull yourself up to them and get an even higher vantage for sniping
2) camoflaged hunter - because you'll be crouching everywhere you go in town, despite no enemies are around, so you'll get into the habit of initiating fights that way, sniping one mob of the three in a clump to take them by surprise
3) soul splitting trap - not only does it damage an enemy over time, but this morph hits 2 at once and when they die it fills a soul gem! don't worry about what that is but trust me you'll need a lot of them
4) overflowing altar - this is your main heal! this morph looks better than the other one
5) propelling shield - increases the range of your ranged attacks so you can stay even further away from trapped beasts (you will need to go to Cyrodiil which is scary and bad to get this skill but only just the once)
Ultimate? Ballista! Why? It's like a pet but one that fires arrows while you can do whatever you'd like, like do the hands on hips emote!

Wait, you say... no Bow skills? You don't need bow skills because you can already shoot arrows by left clicking and that will be your main attack at all times.

and shooting arrows costs you literally nothing!!! so you can use even more of your hybrid magicka/stamina skills - though mostly your pets do all the hard work.

    My favourite part of this build is that every time you swap to your bow bar, your pets will automatically be unsummoned so they won't get up in your camera while you're shooting arrows. A+

    Thanks - me too. Which was bad as I was posting it in the last 1 minute I was at work and trying to punch out and go home and people are looking at me like, "Whoa, the crazy guy is laughing. That can't be good."

    It worries me a lot that a couple people didn't seem to catch that this was meant to be satirical.

    Then again I did run my magDK as a Soul magic vicious death/phoenix build in PvP for a while.

    NO!

    Legolas was a wood elf!
    Legolas was the son of Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood,[1][2] who appears as "the Elvenking" in The Hobbit.[3] Thranduil ruled over the Silvan Elves or "Wood-elves" of Mirkwood.

    So I'm afraid that your build should really use a bosmer. I know it kind of screws it up from a min/max perspective, but I really feel that the theme is important.

    All of which, are true stories that actually happened

    I think i was referring to a war film in which america wins the war all on its own. Might have been flight of the intruder, but i cant remember
