Just one quick comment, Great concept, but Blizzard has said that they will not introduced mana burning/stealing abilities into the game. So if you wanted this kit to be realistic representation, you may want to rework Viper Sting.
Arcane Shot could still work, you could easily make a mechanic where her spells cost a lot of mana, but maybe Viper Sting restores mana at the tradeoff of obviously doing low damage.
Chimera shot is a great idea, the damage option, a mana option, and a cc option. Only issue is, a 2 second silence on a 8 second CD is kinda crazy. there are plenty of way to adjust that though, uses a ton more mana so you cant keep doing it, higher cd on Scorpid sting Chimera shot, etc.
Bursting shot is a solid ability, fits very well on a ranged assassin with limited escapes.
Rapid Fire is a solid Ultimate as well, no huge issues other than witha few of your talents could get out of hand.
Prayer of the Moon Goddess fits in well with a setinals kit, only issue i have is it sounds a lot like Tyrandes starfall. And with a kit that seems to be focusing a lot on Shandris's archery, having such a magic based abiltiy seems a tad out of place. Maybe try to edit it thematically? like have her shoot moonlight infused arrows to nearby enemies?
Honestly this is a good concept, and with a few tweeks I can honestly see this being in the game. Well done.

Thanks man. Yeah I see what you saying regarding the Silence thing maybe I could reduce it to 1 second or 0.5 seconds. Also Prayer of The Moon Goddess is kind of her thing from WOW. It is her signature move so I kind of felt I had to put it in. I think for HOTS it would work a bit more like TLV boat ultimate as in they orbs would just fly to enemies within the AOE. Still ranged but picked for an Arcane Arrow build. Gives her a spell damage option for an ultimate. Originally she was very much like Hanzo is now, so I had to rework her as more of sustained damage hero that can time a burst with her Serpent Sting, which would require good timing for your next Chimaera Shot.
