I think Perks need to give you more of a sense of your character which they do not really outside of the damage you deal or the magnitude of the ability - which could have been accomplished in a much better way (such as selecting these skills from the start or at trainers to become your Primary/Major/Minor).

(Keep in mind these are just ideas just to represent the concept)

Archery

2 Pin Down - Arrows that strike your target's legs have a chance of immobilizing your target for y seconds.
3 Headshot - Headshots now deal 2x damage with a chance of killing inferior foes instantly.
4 Rapid Fire - For y duration arrows can be drawn and fired much more quickly however they deal x less damage.
5 Eagle Eye - *no change
6 Steady Hand - only 1 rank
7 Bull's Eye - *no change
8 Heart Seeker - While zoomed in, you become aware of your target's every move. Target's hearts become visible and a successful strike to your target's heart will kill them. (small hit box)
9 Ranger - *no change
10 Shove - Right Clicking while not zoomed in will shove your target back staggering them and pushing them back y yds. This ability consumes Stamina.
11 Endless Quiver (EQ AA) - You will never consume the arrows you have equipped.

Critical Shot is now applied to you innately once you choose Archery as your Primary perk. Every 10 levels, you obtain a new rank (at level 30 you would have rank 3)
