Hi all wanted to see what the forum thought of my build. My builds goals are as follows: good dps, decent heals/survivability, trapping skills. This build is centered around using shortswords, particularly those with the radiance attribute to blind mobs and get your sneak attack damage. Here is the build:

The leveling order is chosen the way it is due to the fact that feats will not fit otherwise. The goal of this build would be to keep mobs attacking you blinded for your sneak damage, as well as the miss chance it provides. Add in decent dodge (14% without any items or epic destiny) and shadow fade and you should be rarely getting hit. I would be running this build in wind stance for the extra double strike chance it provides. In wind stance your doublestrike would be 10stance+3oppertunist+3black scale armor+9 pl doublestrike+5ptwf+8moral=38%double strike, and if you get a full stack of killer thats an additional 12% for a full 50% double strike and 10% off hand double strike without any twists. Crazy.

As for heals a possibility for a triple (about half the time with full stacks of killer) or even quadruple (about 5% chance with full killer stacks, 3% with none) amolating strike is nuts and it should easily hit over 100 per hit with the posted build and a 30% heal amp item.

Gear:
dual celestias/celestia+rebellion
Black helm insight con +3
black dragon scale
planar focus +8 con
gs +45 smoke item (displacement clicky) +6 dex skills
Neck: open
Ghost walking cloak
belt of seven Ideals (filler for now)
fort/seeker boots
bracers of twisting shade/skirmishers bracers
pdk gloves
ring of deadly+8 archmagi
ring of dex+8 dodge+8 with yellow slot

Since I am etring for epic completionest, I do not really have any +10 items as I spend next to no time at levels greater than 26. I wish I had a greater convalescence bracer, but unfortunately I do not. I am looking for some suggestions to improve the build, and I have a few question: does ninja spy poison and assasin poison stack? If they dont which is better to drop? Also considering dropping Heartseeker poison for either bleed them out or getting more of the sin core for the mark (but the dc makes it laughable). I considered going dark monk, but again dcs make it untenable in epic levels.

I also considered swaping the monk levels for ranger levels. doing so would free up a lot of feats and a few build points and get me many shot, but would cost me all the monk goodies. I would like to hear peoples thoughts, please help me improve the build.
