As for tech & range hybrid play, most MPAs complain about lack of weak bullet, and most MPAs are happy with techer support. Put that together on one TERA and you have 11 other players to carry you while you kiss their boo boos better and dictate targets for them to focus on. If you can get 6 people doing damage in range of your zanverse (4 with max wind mastery & a wind boosting weapon), they do more on average from the zanverse bonus damage than anything you could be doing yourself in that timeframe.

As a bonus, you can use the ヒュリオスノーティ rifle with bullet pp save on ranger tree and cast techs more cheaply while weak bullet is loaded. It's only got 780 t-atk at +10 so not as cool as the rikauteri but it's better than nothing.

Speaking of Rikauteri, that's probably the key to one of the more interesting niche builds (and the Vibrace bow before it), FOBR, which works as a normal force as long as you like but can switch to the bow and abuse banish arrow with bows with high t-atk to perform devastating combos on anything that lives long enough to soak it up. It's not guntecher but it is arcane archer.
