12 fighter for kensai II for the added damage, power surge and 7 haste boots(30% only half ranged if i get that right)

6 ranger for bow str/ rapid shot /twf and itwf /manyshot casting of rams might(+2str +2damage(3total)) Two favorite enemies that will add 6 damage. Allows me to cast and take mental toughness needed for aa

2 monk evasion toughness and pa.

I had to take monk at 19 and 20 so evasion is off for a very long time. That was needed so i can reach figther 12 at level 18 to be able to pick Greater Weapon Specialization: Ranged and slashing.

I will take toughness at 9 and then later switch it at level 19 or 20 to retake it then as monk feat.

Few questions:

I have for now favorite enemy giant and undead later on should i change this ?

When i get monk i will take a new feet for level 9 there i took oversized two weapon fighting to be able to dualwield scimitars better. Also been wondering about quickdraw. Dont get how that exactly works and the info is really not clear or just wrong according to what i think it does. So quickdraw or otwf?

My hp are probably a bit low but i should be able to get around 450. That ok?

My defense are nonexistant later on i could maybe lesser reincarnate to
str 16 dex 17 con 12 int 11 wis 13 cha 8
With a +2 dex tome i can get improved precise shot. With +2 int i can get combat expertise. With monk wis 1 and some items i could get a decent wisdom bonus to ac and dex bonus. With right items i could get a decent enough ac or should i not bother?

No suggestions at all about the questions?

Mostly about quickdraw or oversized twf

And what favorite enemies to take later on

I would definietly go Evil Outsider for 1 FE and the other is a toss up between COnstruct and Elemental. But honestly elemental are more of then constructs at endgame.

Oversized is not going to matter all that much and quickdraw purportedly speeds up your fighter haste clicky activation not to mention allows you to interchange weapons faster (dont know how much faster)

[Ormagnag]

Short overview of the character so far, just wanne help skip to THE QUESTION


Got the toon up to ten close to 11 so far

First few levels really easy certainly with high str.

Level 6 multishot silver bow and i went for the ranger aa pre

Level 7 precise shot is pretty usefull

level 8 improved crit ranged had some fun times with my silver bow then, did start to feel the need to melee alot more not easy with low hitpoints and no defense

level 9 aha finaly toughnes and racial toughness 1+2 and fighter toughness 1 and +20 improved false life.
No uber hp but fighting is much easier now

level 10 +2 more bow damage never bad

Looking forward to level 11 three arrow multishot and gonne switch to elven arcane archer enhancements to get acid arrows

12 really important level improved precise shot, kensai one, +1 str ,....


THE QUESTION:

But heres the question: at twelve i can take gtwf or improved critical slashing. with the new update which one should i take first?

Starting to miss evasion which i have on most my toons. Hope i can stick to the plan and not take monk till 19-20

I'd vote for Imp Crit first, though I would also vote for either before your Weap Focus & Weap Spec (or OTWF) feats.

[Ormagnag]

Just to clarify level 9 i take toughness i switch it to otwf or quickdraw when i get tyoughness as monk feat.

I need the spec for kensai i think
