Build Cirtique, Dual Khopesh Assassin

[Krumblee]

This is the first build I am trying to "publish" for critiquing. Even after playing for a few years, after watching people get belittled for their builds has made me tentative. I am trying anyway because I like the idea for this build. This is meant to be a dual khopesh wielding tempest assassin with decent AC due to dex. I do not have the means to buy tomes or great gear as I am poor as poo. I do have a couple decent khopeshes from recent Desert/Orchard runs. I do have veteran status and level slower that bat guano but I enjoy it. Anyway, here it is at level 4 straight off the boat. I was hoping to avoid any build ruining decisions, so please let me know if I am on the right track.

Ditch the fighter and ranger levels and go for the Rogue capstone. The "killing stuff faster" one, not the "dies less" one.

If I ditch the fighter, I lose a feat. I level mostly on my own and need the feats from the ranger level as well. Free TWF as well as Bow strength. I am not looking at what the character will be like at 20 because It will most likely never see 20, well at least not for a year. I level very slowly so the toon needs to be fun to play at lower levels. not to mention perfect wand use from the ranger. Now, every single thing I said may be wrong, but if it is please explain why. I read a lot but there is SO much to read.

Try Unbongwah's newbie friendly exploiter variant. It's a ranger, not an assassin, but it's got everything you want.

Since you have 32 point builds, I'd modify that build by taking Con up to 16 and Wis up to 10.

I'm unbongwah, and I approve of this message. :cool:

If you still want a mostly-rogue build, I would do either a pure rogue Assassin like this one (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=280364) or a rogue 13 / ranger or fighter 6 / monk or ftr 1 build such as this one (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=234381).

Looks like a neat build...I think I will try it out. thanks turtle.

Oh, and the obligatory pointer to the Exploiter (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=168687). Monk splash works out better in the long run than fighter splash if you've got 32-pt builds & monk unlocked, but it takes a long while to really make it pay off: partly because you don't take the monk splash until fairly late, partly because it's pretty gear- & tome-intensive, esp. for the AC. Not the best choice for newcomers or slow levelers, IMHO.
