Thoughts? This is the ideal. odds are i am going to spend a ton of cash redoing enchancments. But i like the way the end build looks.

Couldnt figure out how to get iteams working so all of this is without iteams.

Please tear this apart

Seems a shame to miss out on Inspire Heroism by one level, that song alone will get you into several higher level raids. Is Kensai I really worth that much?

[kchaos]

I will have to think about that.

I dont know if one song is really a deal breaker though. Most people ask for it and they dont have enough AC to begain with and adding +4 to trash is still trash. It may effect me getting in some raids. But its not like there arent other builds who miss it. (EX 14 bard 4 fighter 2 rouge).

The plus to the kensi is that i will be doing more damage. I may be on par with a full ranger with kensi. And still have some verstlity to actually pass helpful buffs. Plus have heal scrolls to heal with.

That one song will proablly make me the last resort on epic or on VOD. But no character can ever be perfect.
I will think about it. It would been nice if that song came at 14 though. Or if DDO raises the lvl cap to 22 soon. I can wish right?

Side note. I have to figureout away to get keen in the feats. To really get fully DPS potional out of a weapon that only crits on a 20.

List of ideal gear.
Lighting strike Bow
Min2 falchon (portal beater and clicky and *** i need to do melee weapon!?!?)
tumbleweed ring
therens goggles
Dragon Touched Armor (magma guard, earthen guard, and heavy fort)
green steel max health helm
Bloodstone

(good thing i have over half of this stuff.)

Are there anyother bows that are good?

Late to the party, I know, but here's my ranger 2 / fighter 2 / bard 16 AA build (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?p=2805268#post2805268). Give up Kensai, but you gain more feats from fewer levels (4 archery + TWF), hit bard 16 (Heroics + lvl 6 spell), and have BAB 16 which is enough for 4 arrows per shot from Manyshot.

I can't figure out why you took Dodge & Mobility, yet no Bow Strength or even Shot on the Run (which isn't all that great IMHO but is the main incentive for D&M on an archer).

This is what I would do:

6 Frenzy berserker/14 bard warchanter

18 + level ups
16
12
08
08
12

1) power attack
3) cleave
6) wf slash
9) twf
12) ic slash
15) itwf
18) gtwf

That's...not an AA, spifflove. Did you even read the thread title, dude? :-)

I edited the above and then pretended not to know what you are talking about.
