Furthermore, most whom I've partied with or have seen me solo has told me I kill pretty fast. With the SPR there's the obvious criticals being dished out and with added DEX I have enough Aim to hit mobs higher than myself without a scroll (aside from bosses but even then I see the 'Miss' go up only 2-3 times). The DEX goes up a good amount when you level adding to the Evasion and Aim... then on top of all that you also gain % increase in those stats when you add points. To make up for the HP I always wear highest level rings for END as well as bows with END on it.

STR I find is useless. You have the criticals to hit hard when it counts. Also, with this build I'd recommend using a crossbow for the increase in criticals and overall damage.

So I guess this is another option for you. Though I suggest that you go pure something rather than splitting it into 3 stats.
I was thinking of going either pure DEX or END, and since you posted I've decided DEX. Thankyou for posting, I was waiting for a high level archer that has made one than one character!

I know that we aren't meant for AOE'ing, I was just saying how much I love doing it =P.
