Hey Saito, I think there's an arcane archer subtype available out of fighter in current 5e, have you looked at that?
Also, if you're interested in Pathfinder-to-5e conversions and reimaginings, I have a link to a really top notch alchemist class*, derived from pathfinder but designed and balanced for 5e (full class, six subclasses, all supporting documentation), that I think is a much more satisfying alternative to 5e's new artificer ^.^
*Niara has a certain amount of personal bias here.
