View Full Version : Centered Thief Acrobat (My Take)

So I scoured all thief acrobat builds and Mine is slightly different.
I wanted to stay as pure as possible and the second level of monk was very underwhelming.
I decided on a 18 Rogue, 1 Fighter, 1 Monk Split. The level of fighter allows me to fit in that Improved 2h Fighting Feat without having to waste 2 epic feats on Heroic options. I would Appreciate any feedback as I am currently level 23 on this build and only really have LD+GMofF unlocked on ED.

have you checked out Quezuzu's Sneaky Boulder? Seems like a similar split, if I recall

At a glance, your char is just a mild variant on Andoris's centered Acrobat build (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/459818-Centered-Thief-Acrobat): halfling instead of human, 18/1/1 split instead of 18/2, no Completionist, etc. Not a criticism, just there's not much to add beyond what's in his thread.

there are lots of options with an 18/x staff split. Monk allows forms but you lose the light armor boosts to PRR--not a bad tradeoff--although you might get uncentered sometimes. You can also twist GMoF.
1 barb will add a boost to your movement speed (can't do with monk) & if you make it two barb you can exploit ear smash.
1 wiz will give a blue bar & 2 free feats (magical training and, if doing halfling dragonmarks, you can maximize the lower two (not the heal one though). An Elf could take extend and extend the displacement dragonmarks to 6ish minutes at cap! Note that 1 wiz gets you Eldritch strike (crummy) but also the very fun 1 AP archmage sla invisibilty. You can also use some of those simple level 1 spells that will save you occassional grief like shield--yes you can scroll it but it is convenient to cast it...

1 druid gets Ram's might & shillelag with wooden staves but comes with restrictions.

Just some random thoughts. I think 1 ranger gets you easy sneak damage from DWS too.

So in the middle of my second life and theory crafting for my 3rd life. Gonna do Shadar-kai and push for 30 and get some more destinies unlocked etc etc.

Came up with this build. Somewhat based around Zeus but taking fighter instead of Paladin. Feats are tight as hell and enhancements are not set in stone. Could drop haste boost from acrobat (LD) and have a few more points etc

Thoughts, criticisms and concerns are welcomed. Thanks again!
