Tempest Barbarian Feedback Please

[NiteSlayer98]

Heres the deal, my girlfriend LOVES drow/elves. She has gotten a barbarian to lvl 12 that uses THF and she wants to try two weapons nows. She loves my tempest paladin build and was wondering if I could come up with something similiar for her to be a barbarian and be able to rage and move fast. So here is what I came up with. Could I get some feedback or maybe another build idea?

If you are going just for the tempest and rams might you would be better off staying pure barbarian

Max dps for twf would be 2 rogue/18 barb for the rogue haste boost.

18
16 +1 tome (easy to get)
14
08
08
08

I would keep these stats even if taking the ranger levels.

Fighter and Rogue Haste Boosts are very nice for 20 seconds at a time but they by no means make up for sustainable 10% tempest speed.

Best of both words would be 2 rogue / 6 ranger / 12 Barb at level 20. Just a suggestion.

Go 14 barbarian / 2 ranger right now. That way you can grandfather in critical rage II. Once the level cap increases go straight ranger and you'll have a top flight power character. I have a build in this forum somewhere of a dwarf... just modify it for an elf.

[spifflove]

You can find a build modified for an elf nearby. But that build also factors in using multishot when it is available and twf when it is not. I.e. its not max twf dps its max ranged dps with very good twf fighting skills.

Drow would be
18
16
12
10
08
10

But would lose elven ranged enhancements, still very good with rapier.

That's not what I was referring to at all. I was referring to taking my max DPS crit rage tempest build and fixing the stats and enhancements to work for an elf. It would lose a slight bit of damage due to going from dwarven waraxes to rapiers, but not so much that many people would notice.

I think she'll be happier with the rogue version for evasion, especially on an elf's TWF dex.
