Dragonmarked Halfling Fighter Monk Wizard

[jillora]

Hey all,

It's time for me to continue my altaholic condition and make myself another toon. :) I think the Halfling Summer Games are inspiring me to make a halfling.... So I'd like one with the dragonmarks and who wields bastard swords. To be frank, I never get into the epic levels, so end game doesn't matter to me. Someday I'll get a toon above level 20 and keep it there, but that day is not today. No uber gear on her, might drop some tomes on her if I actually get her above level 15 or so.

Here's the build I made in the generator:

Please let me know how I can improve her. I look the wizard level for the metamagic, and hp and cleave attack from eldritch knight. The monk is for the attack and movement speed and evasion and cause I love monks. The fighter is for all the feats and so she can be centered while with bastard swords. What would be a better level split than 10f/9m/1w? I suppose 16f/3m/1w would give me a little extra movement speed and evasion and the enhancements I want but idk, why not do the deeper split rather than a splash?

I tried her out last night in Delera's and she was a hoot and a half :) I'm taking the dodge/mobility/spring attack line because that seems to be how she plays. I was jumping around a lot with her last night while attacking. I love halflings.

Still I now know that it's a good idea to make a toon in the generator first if there are certain feats/enhancements you want because I now know that I already messed up her feats so she's gonna have to be remade again. Since I'm remaking her, any suggestions are welcome.

Thank you!

I'm assuming the maximize affects the dragonmark healing? I've not done a halfling in forever, so was just wondering.

[Mercureal]

A few thoughts and comments, in no particular order:

- Maximize will work for the least and lesser, but not for the greater dragonmark. Greater dragonmark is a Heal spell, and that's only affected by Empower Healing. You might know that already, just making sure.
- You might want to consider using a feat to take Master of Forms. Besides the bump up in ability bonuses when in stance, in Earth stance you get +1 to your critical multiplier.
- I'm not sure that you really need to start with 17 Dex. I know it makes it easier if you don't have to worry about tomes or level-up points to qualify for the all the TWF feats, but +1 tomes are really cheap on the auction house (at least on Thelanis), and still seem to drop at a reasonable rate in chests. Of course, you'd have to have something to do with those build points, I suppose.
- Try to fit an elemental strike into your enhancements. Fists of Iron is nice, and with a low ki cost and cooldown, you can use it a lot. Or, if you want to rework things even more, take Unbalancing Strike, with Kensai tactics, and Halfling sneak attack. That's a good way to get a few dice of extra damage with each hit.
- Shadow Veil: Ninja Spy core enhancement, available at level 6. 15 ki, invisible and 25% incorporeal for one minute, very nice for a melee character.
- You should really try to fit in more than 1 rank of fighter haste boost.

I havn't played around a lot with fighters since the enhancement changes, but I think you have a few listed that you could drop, if you felt like redoing your set-up.

- Strike with no thought: you're only getting 1% doublestrike from this
- Reed in the wind: short duration, long-ish cooldown
- Weapon Meditation: try to get it to rank 3, or drop it. I think you'll find that it takes too long (subjectively) to build up to the max stack with only 1 rank
- Shattering Strike: similarly, take all 3 ranks or none. A +1W attack every 20 seconds is pretty weak (as compared to Monk Fists of Iron: Perform a melee attack with +3[W] damage, +1 critical threat range, and +1 Critical Damage Multiplier, with a 3 second cooldown).
