In Combat:
[spoiler]
You probably will have won initiative or surprised your enemies most of the times, due to your high dex and skill points, giving you the two first rounds of sneak attack without resorting to the ring of blink or other means.
*First you walk to activate your skirmish (and expeditious dodge) then manyshot at +27/+27/+27 + splitting +27/+27/+27 (and if any arrow miss, the others will have a +4 to hit due to woodland archer feat).
After this, you use a swift action to activate the belt of battle for a full round where you rapid shot at: +31/+31/+26/+21 + splitting +31/+31/+26/+21.
Each arrow deals 1d8+5 + 18d6+2 ~ I leave the rest of the math up to you, but it's A LOT of damage. This manyshot+rapidshot is a one-time trick, but if you manage to pull this off, it'll be worth it. The rest of the combat you rely on rapid shot while blinking.
*I'm not factoring in the possible knowledge devotion bonus.
[/spoiler]
I really would like comments on how to improve this if possible and I apologize for any mistakes you may find in this build.
Thanks.
