Ok so i've been playing this game for a very long time and i've always been a fan of wf toons. This isn't a guide to build a toon so look elsewhere. this is more im going to list my toon as it is atm and im open for suggestions to make it better. anyways my toon has been around for a long time but he was mainly a wizard 3x 2x sorceror and 1x favored soul. 2x bladeforged iconic. epic past lives doubleshot and energy critical so far only 1x. so when i played a wizard i really loved the rogue aspect with trapping and casting but as i played i met arti and really liked ranged but i could never figure out how to work it in. so eventually i decided i wanted to put casting on hold for now and go my ranged route that i enjoyed. so i tred into bladeforged since i enjoy wf and i went pure rogue.

So as it stands atm he is 20 rogue level 5 epics so 25. i've been in love with the mechanic changes since it came out because i finally found something that really made it hit me. so i dropped the repeaters for now for great crossbows. so that is my choice of weapon, but i know i can do more to improve the toon. that is where my problem lies. with the recent changes to way it fires it now appeals to me. he is still a huge work in progress but i just need a basic idea of where to go with him or maybe my enhancement choices are poor or stats etc. i know im missing 2 feats as well which would probably help. Currently im missing rapid shot and combat archery.

so let me show what stats i have and go from there and what tomes.

36 point

str is 14 +4 tome right now 28
Dex 16 +3 tome right now 23 (i dont have a +5 tome for combat archery)
Con 17 +4 tome right now 32
Int 16 i think 20 base now +4 tome right now 40
Wis 6 +3 tome right now 13
Cha 9 +4 tome right now 23

so with that part i know i need certain things but im not sure if i could of changed that to make it better.

now i will add what feats i have i dont remember the order so i know i could probably give up some things as well.

Feats
epic is epic toughness and overwhelming critical
regular ones are

Epic destinies im still working on maxig my eds atm so im going to mention the ones i need to do but my main one i enjoy is fury of the wild. legendary was ok but i found it more difficult to keep blitz going with a great crossbow so i went for the burst dps of it. before the patch to mechanic my crits on my tier 2 thunderforged 1st degree burns/dragonpierce great crossbow was anywhere from 700-1500 under adrenaline i saw 7751 as my highest from that weapon without deadly. since the patch ive seen similar numbers and i havent even gotten my tier 2 back. i want to get a mortal fear weapon at some point but that is down the road or unless something else comes to my mind. my crits even in non fury ive seen 800-1300 in grandmaster on a tier 1 thunderforged. so i can only imagine i will see higher ones once i get back to 28 and have my things back. anyways so let me show my twists/fury.

twists
lithe
technician
draconic perception

fury
primal scream 2/3
con 1/2
injury 3/3
acute instincts 3/3
sense weakness 3/3
ward against weird-i know i dont need this one but i couldnt think of anything better at the time
gird against demons 2/2
fury eternal
unbridled fury

skills
balance 47 +4 tome
bluff 57
concentration 60 +3 tome
diplomacy 52
disable device 76 +4 tome with gh 80 +5 thieves tools 87--en bracers of twisting shade
haggle 41
jump 65 lol i know i know caps at 40 just when you get so many points you gotta spend them lol.
open lock 71 +4 tome with +5 tools and gh 78 nether gloves en
repair 55 +2 tome
search 83 with gh and +20 search from the Treasure spyglass the tier 2 version
spot 66
umd 46 +2 tome
if it really matter swim 35 tumble 27 but i don't use those really lol.

ok so im open to some suggestions and im still working on acquiring some tomes, working on some gear. i have a tier 2 thunderforged greatcrossbow 1st degree burns/dragonpierce with a meteor ruby
i have the manual from Haunted halls waiting at 26.
Eye of the beholder at 27.
i also have access to epic ethereal epic belt of rememberance epic boots of innocence as well and epic glimpse of the soul.

so anyways that is just the basics and what i have done. any ideas. i know i would of loved to get know the angles but i couldn't figure what to get rid of and i only have 405 sp atm so im sorta limited. any ideas/suggestions. i don't want to tr out of bladeforged so please keep that in mind. that is the final life but i plan on doing 3x ranger and at least get my rogue lives done as well.

fortification with gear and all 200%
saves with gh and ship buffs nothing else and current gear +7 resistance item from iron mitts
fortitude 33
reflex 54 vs traps i have more
will save 21
no prr/mrr atm
no spell resistance
15% doubleshot
10% ranged attack speed with orcish privateer boots
71 ranged power in fury.

You seem to be missing the 3 most important feats for a crossbow user - PBS, Rapid Shot & Rapid Reload.
Also... Defensive Roll but no Crippling Strike?
dump Strength entirely - start with Dex 16, Con 18, Int 16 (assuming 36 points - lose con if less) use 2 level ups for Dex to qualify for Combat Archery
More Harper - KTA, Strat combat 2, ranged power, more int if you can. Mechanic 44, BF 11, Harper 25 probably works better.

And yeah, 3 ranger past lives help a lot!

Sorry, ignore Strat Combat 2 in Harper tree - you get that already from mechanic tree (can't edit other post for some reason)
