Time to put that archer profession together...
Maybe not an archer profession, but maybe instead a general fighting professional that can become a specialised archer as he develops (through branching or skills of the mighty).
HP of a Knight, combat proficiencies of a Barbarian, but without the social 'baggage' of either profession? At 4th rank, can specialise in a specific discipline (hunter, archer, assassin, cavalry, possibly a magical variant, etc.) or remain a generalist. Or just have a list of skills of the mighty that this fighter can start choosing at 4th rank. DW advancement can be quite slow, and Legend is a dangerous place - 4th rank is quite advanced enough, I think, to start awarding some special abilities to characters (but still save the good stuff for 8th and 12th rank!)
