Arcane Trickster Build

[Kaldaka]

After much thought and consideration, I have come up with what I think is a pretty decent build for the arcane trickster. I am not going evasion with this one because I am already sacrificing 1 wizzy level for the rogue skills (and the DC, damage, spell points, spell pen, etc that comes along with it) I don't want to sacrifice another. I also am forgoing UMD with this build, Shroud raise dead clickie is good enough for me, and although potions are expensive, I'm rich :D. I submit this build to the scholars of DDO for any advice they can give.

Thanks :)

+2 INT tome before level 2 *THE BACKBONE OF THE BUILD*
DEX: 12(base) + 1(tome) + 1(ENH) + 6(item) = 20
INT: 20(base) + 2(tome) + 4(leveling) + 3(ENH) + 6(item) = 35 (for now ;))
