Note, this is just my take on it; feel free to tweak some things for balance. I wasn't really able to do much more than error checking in-game as I don't think SF wants me using their shell server to play a video game for a week or so. =)
Notes from the patch:
Subject: [PATCH] Warper Overhaul - Renamed to Arcane Marksman
Missile Changes
--
electricity missiles are now an option - they are always destroyed
reaping / dispersal ammo is now always destroyed as it can be created by players
poison ammo can again affect rocks / bullets etc - still no nets. Apparently
this is a contact poison, but mainly it's to close the gap between sling users
and archers.

Warperr Overhaul / Arcane Marksman
Wow.
Just from reading this, this is amazing. Reaping and exploding ammunition should definitely be lower leveled, though.
With 3 school requirements, exploding could probably be reduced to 5 or so. I think reaping is OK where it is though.... potentially getting a powerful pet bumps the power scale on that spell fairly well. I'll let whoever decides it's merit balance it as they see fit,.
