  Unfortunately, Sonic Arrow can't be spammed anymore, but at least Archery has some committed single-target attacks now, and Storm/Torrent of Arrows no longer have cds. If you wanted to make some sort of Support/CC Archer, then here's one way to do it:
  
  (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Support)
  v3.44:37
  
  Super Stats
  Level 6: Presence (Primary)
  Level 10: Intelligence (Secondary)
  Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)
  
  Talents
  Level 1: The Witch (Con: 10, Int: 8, Pre: 10, Rec: 10)
  Level 6: Diplomatic (Int: 5, Pre: 5)
  Level 9: Shrug It Off (Con: 5, Pre: 5)
  Level 12: Healthy Mind (Con: 5, Int: 5)
  Level 15: Finesse (Dex: 5, Pre: 5)
  Level 18: Coordinated (Dex: 5, Int: 5)
  Level 21: Acrobat (Dex: 5, Con: 5)
  
  Powers
  Level 1: Strafe
  Level 1: Sonic Arrow (Rank 2, Dizzying Impact)
  Level 6: Hunter's Instinct
  Level 8: Aura of Primal Majesty (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 11: Manipulator
  Level 14: Storm of Arrows (Achilles' Heel)
  Level 17: Arcane Vitality (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 20: Gas Arrow (Noxious Fumes)
  Level 23: Rapid Shots (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 26: Conviction (Rank 2, Reverence)
  Level 29: Medical Arrow (Rank 2, Illuminate)
  Level 32: Redemption (Rank 2, Salvation)
  Level 35: Force Shield (Rank 2)
  Level 38: Fiery Embrace
  Adv. Points: 34/36
  
  Travel Powers
  Level 6:
  Level 35:
  
  Specializations
  Presence: Repurpose (3/3)
  Presence: Dominion (2/2)
  Presence: Moment of Glory (2/3)
  Presence: Force of Will (1/2)
  Presence: Vulnerability (2/2)
  Sentinel: Torment (2/2)
  Sentinel: Caregiver (3/3)
  Sentinel: Sentinel Aura (3/3)
  Sentinel: Wither (2/2)
  Overseer: Administer (2/3)
  Overseer: Ruthless (2/2)
  Overseer: Impact (2/2)
  Overseer: Trapped (3/3)
  Overseer: Conservation (1/2)
  Mastery: Sentinel Mastery (1/1)
  
  Arcane Vit is your main ally heal, while you have things like Sentinel Aura, Sentinel Mastery, Medical Arrow, and Conviction to help out. Sonic Arrow can be charged for the paralyze and Disorient, and Storm of Arrows can help proc a Root. Gas Arrow's stun adv will be boosted by the Disorient adv from Sonic Arrow, and that can also help proc Manip in the background. I added Rapid Shots so you have a basic single-target filler attack option available. I also kept in some reses, since this is still a support unit. You can also play in Hybrid role when out solo for a bit more personal dps then. The build gears mostly for Pres, and maybe w/ some Int and Con, though AoPM will be boosting all stats a bit as is.

  - Be safe and have fun, champs - for science!

  I'm not sure if you may have an interest in CCing at Cosmics? If so, here's a dual role build that can CC at Cosmics or provide buffs and debuffs for support, if someone else happens to be CCing.
  
  (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Support)
  v3.44:37
  
  Super Stats
  Level 6: Presence (Primary)
  Level 10: Constitution (Secondary)
  Level 15: Intelligence (Secondary)
  
  Talents
  Level 1: The Witch (Con: 10, Int: 8, Pre: 10, Rec: 10)
  Level 6: Healthy Mind (Con: 5, Int: 5)
  Level 9: Shrug It Off (Con: 5, Pre: 5)
  Level 12: Diplomatic (Int: 5, Pre: 5)
  Level 15: Intimidating (Pre: 8)
  Level 18: Prodigy (Pre: 5, End: 5)
  Level 21: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)
  
  Powers
  Level 1: Strafe
  Level 1: Straight Shot (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 6: Sonic Arrow
  Level 8: Aura of Primal Majesty (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 11: Aura of Radiant Protection (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 14: Manipulator
  Level 17: Ebon Void (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 20: Molecular Self-Assembly
  Level 23: Arcane Vitality (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 26: Redemption (Salvation)
  Level 29: Ego Storm (Malevolent Manifestation)
  Level 32: Ego Sleep (Rank 2, Rank 3)
  Level 35: Mental Leech (Challenge!)
  Level 38: Grasping Shadows (Consumption)
  Adv. Points: 32/36
  
  Travel Powers
  Level 6: Athletics (Rank 2)
  Level 35: Jet Pack
  
  Specializations
  Presence: Repurpose (2/3)
  Presence: Selfless Ally (2/2)
  Presence: Dominion (2/2)
  Presence: Force of Will (2/2)
  Presence: Vulnerability (2/2)
  Sentinel: Torment (2/2)
  Sentinel: Caregiver (3/3)
  Sentinel: Sentinel Aura (3/3)
  Sentinel: Wither (2/2)
  Sentry: Fortified Gear (3/3)
  Sentry: Precise (1/3)
  Sentry: Sentry Aura (3/3)
  Sentry: Stalling Tactics (3/3)
  Mastery: Sentinel Mastery (1/1)
  
  Devices
  Slot 1: Psionic Accelerator
  Slot 2: Revenancy
  
  If you get a Revenancy device from the Bloodmoon event, you could opt out of Grasping Shadows and take another power. AoRP is appreciated at all Cosmics and you can switch to AoPM if someone else is running AoRP. This build would need a Tank to pull Kiga's dogs for you during phase 2 at Kiga but should otherwise get you through.

  Just an update. I'm going with a build closer to the one Flow recommended. Also Psionic Accelerator + Manipulator turned out to be a good investment. CC'ng at cosmics so far hasn't interested me, it seems tedious. Not to say I won't eventually give it a try!
