AA and tempest

[Sephiroth16]

this may be a stupid question. but, can you be a ranger tempest, and at the same time be an elven AA? Possible or not if you had all the feats and prereqs?

[Brennie]

No. The Elven Arcane Archer enhancements lock out all other Ranger PrE's. Otherwise... Elven AA + Deepwood sniper would be a sweet combo (Once deepwood stops sucking, anyway)

Yeah I figured as much. But now that that is out of the question it could stack with a fighter PrE like kensei correct? Just looking for ways to make my AA better at melee. I already decided to splash 6 lvls of fighter in my TR, but that would only give me kensei 1, so it wouldn't be all that great. Basically seeing if anyone else tried this or will I just be gimping my ranger?

Yes, you can have Kensai and AA.

AAs are fine with melee, the damage is only about 10% behind a tempest.

Yeah I know AA melee is fine. My original ranger was a pure AA. Now I'm just trying to be more creative with his tr this time around. Thank you for all your input everyone.

Have a look at Helves Angel (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=289591); there are other Kensai II AA builds out there, but this one's probably the best.
