 Kevin Costner, Prince of Thieves
Elf Hybrid Ranger-Seeker-MC Rogue/Sharpshooter/Thief of Legend
We are all victims. I will seek justice. Oh and I will steal the Wand of Orcus and give it to the poor.
Build Concept
Show
To make the nastiest Ranged Basic Attack build possible with this build and serve as a controller. I need to flesh everything out but this is the gist. I am in a hurry so I will refine things later.
How I will steal the Wand of Orcus
Show
Turn 1:
Sneak into the abyss with my passive stealth of 48 - wander around
Find Orcus
+38 Inititiative
Minor Action: Guiding Spirit - +5 to next ranged attack roll
Standard Action - Captivating Missle +43 vs Will - (roll 6 or higher, Elven accuracy/Dice of Auspicious Fortune in case I miss)
Dominate Orcus
Orcus... DROP... YOUR... WAND. (Free Action)
Action Point
Impossible Theft: Teleport Orcus's wand to a safe house I have convenienlty set up in the Abyss.
Move/Minor Action - Ring of Retreat teleport to my safe house or Ring of Greater Invisibility
Waltz out Whistling - WoW (My clever acronym)
Even if I somehow die, I will steal my soul back and hock Orcus's wand to recoup my equipment. After all it is priceless 
No but seriously this build is designed to be a RBA granters best friend and rule the cosmos via Sptting Cobra Stance. It would be very easy for me to turn this into one of my NOVA freak out builds but I am resisting the tempatation and attempting a viable controller build. Let me know. This build will be seeing further optimization with all of your help. Level 1 Snapshot

Ranged Basic AttacksSpitting-Cobra Stance will allow this build to function more efficiently as a controller role. When an enemy moves 1 square towards Kevin Costner (and who wouldn't it's Kevin Costner!) will trigger the movement/immediate reaction rule which will allow a basic attack or one of the following: Grappling Spirits (at will) - target slowed and can't shift till the EONT - another words they aint gettin to me Captivating Missle: Domination! Sinking Earth: Restrained! Level 30 Ranged Basic Attack

The ways Kevin Costner will control you.Let's face it, Kevin Costner is a control freak.
Show
"Contrary to popular opinion," Kevin Costner says with a laugh, "I don't try to control the world."
So that settles that. The conversation about the actor-director's perceived sense of omnipotence was sparked by his reputation as being a stickler - and maybe a bit of a control freak - on films such as 1991's "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves" and 1995's "Waterworld" (both directed by Kevin Reynolds) and on his sophomore directing job, 1997's "The Postman. Ok so with that being established let's look how Kevin Costner plans to control throughout his career. Level 1
Show
Grappling Spirits is your primary At Will you will be using for control. Slow is excellent in Heroic.
Possessing Spirits - Your first controlling ENC power. It relies on a succesful forced Melee attack via the target to an adjacent enemy, but the payoff is well worth it. A double Daze at Lvl 1.
Swarming Bats - Area Burst 2 zone of Combat Advantage with a preliminary slide 1 for each enemy within the burst. Assume the position!
Level 3
Show
Disruptive Strike - Basically prevent an attack to one of your allies per encounter. They swing, you shoot the weapon, huge penalty to attack as an interrupt... sheer win.
Level 9
Show
Springback shot - Enemy moves adjacent to you, shift 2 squares, smack em and immobilize them (save ends). Another superb interrupt.
Level 11
Show
Windspirits - An area burst 1 push/knock prone effect that is pretty much the farthest ranged in the game.
Level 15
Show
Fey Sinkhole - the most awesome control power in kevin Costner's repertoire. Creature starts turn in zone takes 5 damage and is dazed until SONT. If creature leaves zone before the end of it's turn you can teleport the creature back into the zone as a free action. Win Win Win!
Level 17
Show
Entrapping Arrows - Burst 1 within 20. if the target leaves the burst before the start of your next turn you make an RBA free action that ends its movement if it hits.
Level 19
Show
Captivating Missle - Kevin Costner has captured our hearts and minds with such inspirational films as Waterworld and Tin Cup. This power is no different. A Save Ends dominate as a RBA. Wow.
Level 23
Show
Sinking Earth - Restrained until end of next turn, adjacent creatures are slowed. Kevin Costner likee.

Just Curious why Ranger Armor prof.?? You already have leather and you are loosing out on Prime shot and Called shot later on in your life as a ranger for just +1 to AC with Hide armor, and you can still take Hide armor prof later on if you really need too.. The +2 to Fort could be useful later with the superior armors, i guess.
Other than that this is really cool. I do hope they make some changes to the Seeker so that is becomes a more respected and usable Controller class.

Thanks man! Ya I really have been going over the whole Hide armor choice for my Hybrid feat. On the one hand you are correct that the main reason I originally intended Hide armor was for the +2 FORT, but as you can see by the build I neglected this and selected Elderhide. Boo.
I realize I am missing out on alot of damage potential, but the way I look at it is I don't really intend to be closer to the target than my allies, soooo....
I guess I just have been paranoid about defenses as of late, and I suppose that's a good thing!
Thanks again!
Oh and another BIG reason I went this way with the hybrid feat is I didn't want to spend the points in STR so I would have as a high a WIS and DEX as possible.

Looks good MC though I agree with Halma 2. I think there is a better hybrid talent option then to pick up hide armor. If you want hide armor for the Fort bonus with some switching around of stats you could easily pick it up in Paragon Tier and then take hybrid talent in something else I like the Full Bloodbond ability myself. The ability to shift as a minor action is a big boon to archer types.
