I would love an archer based Warframe, but I think it should improve the current ¨bow capabilities rather than having some special abilities like you've written down.

 

A few ideas could be: Make arrows homing, make arrows split into x amount, increase arrow speed.

[deathjet]

While I like the idea of a dedicated archer, I don't know that it would work as a warframe. Warframes tend to be more generic.

Instead of making him exclusive to archery, why not go for a "marksman" form or "gunslinger".

ability 1: Surprise volley.

Functions the same, but deals increased weapon damage. Increased drop chance for both their equipped weapon types.

Ability 2: Rising Feather

Replace the damage with a knock back on jump or landing.

Ability 3: Gunner's Talent

Grants the equipped weapons bonus damage, bonus crit damage, innate punch through, increased fire speed, and increased reload speed, and increased crit chance

Ability 4: No change

Tough it kinda overlaps with Hydroid's barrage.

This would give them the option of still using Bows to achieve your core thematic goal, while also opening it up to other weapons.

it seems a tad over powered to me, but i do like the concept. Artemis makes a better name in my opinion, but i think there should be some sort of pin ability in there. Arrow through the foot sort of thing. Kind a stapple of archers.

Yeah, I wanted something like that. It's what Arrow Rain's secondary effect was going to be, but.. I said why not procs and slow?

 

I'm not super satisfied with the skillset, but I had the idea and just wanted to make it for fun.

I may or may not change things around.
