I got into the DDO:EU beta a while ago and have been enjoying it quite a bit. Decided to get a jump on things and picked up a subscription. Once DDO goes F2P I will have some guild mates from another game playing a somewhat static group, but since I'll have access to a lot more content and will be playing more often, I'm looking for a character that can solo moderately well while I'm learning some of the ins and outs of the game. Eventually I will begin teaming on a regular basis with him, but while I'm still essentially clueless I don't want to be a drag on anyone.
All that being said, if you kind folks could take a look at my 2 Rogue/18 Ranger build I put together. I've been reading over the boards here and have picked up a lot of useful info and made an attempt to apply it here, but one of my questions is skills. Since I plan on solo'ing a lot, I put plenty of emphasis on disable device, pick lock, search, and spot. Is it enough to be worth it or even overkill? I also wonder about UMD and whether I should bother since I will have my own healing spells, and considering its a 39(?) UMD for a 100% on heal scrolls. Because of the cross class skills eating up most of the points, things like balance, move silently, and hide got left by the wayside (they got a little love but not much). Missing out or unnecessary?
Feats are pretty straightforward and much easier to change if I want to, same with enhancements, but I would appreciate any recommendations. I've been working on this build for a while, but just made the character last night so if something like the abilities are borked its no biggie to reroll. Thanks in advance for any and all input.
(Character's name is Mythious on Khyber if anyone wants to lend a helping hand in game :) )
Oh yeah, and I couldn't remember if Khopesh's were a slashing or piercing weapon so if they're piercing the IC: Slash will be IC: Pierce.
