There need to be some bow skills that aren't so fantastic or magical in nature. Puncture is pretty much the only one there is, although you could make non-magical explanations for burning, exploding, and poison arrows I guess. They also need more arrow single target skills, so these could fill in.

Precise Shot: A single target arrow skill that has a greatly lowered attack speed, but does increased damage and has a much higher chance of doing a critical hit.

Crippling Shot: A single target arrow shot to the enemy's leg (yes, including the knee) that doesn't do much more damage than normal, but slows the enemy. This could serve as a replacement for the currently mandatory temporal chains, especially when you're too low level for that curse.

Twin Arrow: Fires two arrows at once at the same target, not at different ones like split arrow, but the shot takes a huge accuracy penalty, giving all those huge bow accuracy passive skills a use. It might also take a critical hit penalty. Possibly instead of getting more damage on leveling up, Twin Arrow gets more arrows at certain levels (although it couldn't be called twin arrow then).

Draw Down: A “charge up” bow shot that gets more damage, accuracy, and critical hit chance the longer you hold the button down before releasing it.

Piercing Shot: The equivalent of the pierce gem the way split arrow is for multi projectiles. Shoots an arrow with a perfect chance to pierce for necromancer or totem killing.

Blunt Arrow: A single target shot with reduced damage, but increased chance to stun and knock back.

Heart Pierce: A single target shot that kills non-magic/rare/boss enemies instantly, either with a percent chance to do this, or on critical hits.

And of course, they need the very much magical:
Frost Arrow: A single target arrow shot that's a counterpart to burning arrow. It's cheap, does less added damage than burning arrow does (maybe flat ice damage to make it different from burning arrow and hatred), but has a large increase in chill duration (and large chance to chill if ice damage doesn't do that automatically...strangely I don't even know if it does) and a much smaller increase to freeze duration. This would probably obviate the need for crippling shot.

Of course there are a million other skills they could add, but since this post is too long already I'll stop with single target arrow skills.
