Silence bolts would be nice, for example, as would slightly more potent bloody bolts be. Perhaps also attack-lowering bolts would be nice to have, or even (gasp) dispel bolts!
Just remember, any new effect we're giving to THF with bolts, we're giving to RNG as well in the process. Being able to pepper targets with dispel effects is a rather potent boost, considering being able to steal effects is a significant ability for higher level THFs. Adding silencer bolts isn't going to expand Ranger abilities, though- and that's a good idea. ATK down wouldn't be bad either. I vote making them pepper-spray style.
