Shadowdancer - House Phiarlan Elite Assassin

[~True_Knight]

I never assumed you were making a rogue.

But if you're going to emulate the shadowdancer PrC you're going to need at least 16 levels of rogue for the imp. Evasion, Defensive roll and Slippery mind. Which means you have 4 levels to play around with. Dragonmarks, for good or ill, can be affected by metamagics. Trying to fit in a spellcasting class to take advantage of extend spell feat works to your advantage here. Chances are we'll never see any enhancements/items that affect dragonmarks. (Dragonmarks don't help dwarves so the enhancement dev pretends they don't exist.)

It sounds like you're trying to use Shadowwalk to emulate the Shadowjump ability. The only problem is that shadowwalk doesn't do a good job emulating shadow jump. It's basically a haste and displace that goes away the minute you attack something. You already have displacement and can sow chaos with invisibility so why not focus on that aspect?

Ah... now I can see. Good points! I will look at this more closely. Already at level 3 her stealth is such that she can walk past just about every baddie and never once get found out...until she goes in for the kill.

You say that shadowwalk goes away the min you attack something, but that is why she would use it to retreat. Jump into shadowwalk and be outta there before anyone would know. If I understand, unlike invisibility, monsters that can detect invisibility cannot detect someone in shadowwalk....right? or No?

Many of the posters here have recommended dropping Precision. I have it on my rogue and where it does come in useful is when I'm up against a high cr mob (not the red names), then I will hit precision and switch to stat damagers as this makes it easier to land a hit and I draw less aggro (the stat damage is unaffected by precision).

Actaully stat damage will be directly effected by using precision. For wounding to work - you have to deal at least 1 point of damage, if you use precision against anything with DR - there is a very good chance your dealing 0 dmg with your wounder - since its likely a +1/2 weapon with no special quality.

Now back years ago this wasn't the case and using precision and wounders against high DR/AC mobs like elementals was a great choice, but thats not longer the way.

Nowdays mobs AC have been nerfed across the board and DR has been increased.. So it makes much more sense to use power attack then precision. For many mobs you'll need it to cut thru the dr and still deal wounding damage.

So yea drop precision for power attack.

Well assuming that Sneak Attacks and DR work the same in DDO as in PnP, your sneak attack damage is added to your weapon damage for the purpose of bypassing DR.

I'm still not positive if the extra + to hit is added to the confirm crits but if it does then that's another good reason to keep it and use it with banishers, vorpals etc. where you are trying more for the effect than the damage.

All that said, if there was another feat that I wanted to get, Precision would be the first to be swapped out. I found it worked very well in GiantHold with the stat damagers, less so in the Vale. I do find I am using it less and less these days.

Ya know, I wish there was a way to save the combat log or increase the buffer size. I would have a lot better understanding of these things if I could review the history. By the time a quest is over and the group disbands most if not all of the combat log is lost.

To the OP. Sorry about going off on a tangent here. I'll stop posting now.

If you really want to see what stealth can get you go to YouTube and look for videos by Ghoste (aka Arcane Construct on YouTube.) You'll be amazed what you can do with the stealth and invisibility combo. I was using some of the techniques in Purge the Fallen Shrine last night with a bad PuG when I realized: I could solo it with 2 of my rangers through simple stealth bodypulling...

I'd have to do some testing on whether shadowwalk will bypass See Invisibility. I was playing around with scrolls to see if it was worth it for Malrani (see sig). The only tactical use I could find was for being a combat medic or running past stuff in landscape areas. (Though invisibility will accomplish the same thing in wilderness areas.)

Shade has posted good advice for a barbarian.

However for a rogue:
- Sneak attack damage will allow you to bypass DR.
- Puncturing, which is way more effective than wounding if you have Improved Crit, isn't affected by DR but does need a confirmed crit roll.
- Depending on your subtle backstabber enhancement level it can help you avoid over damaging opponents. If you're in a group that can't keep the hate on someone else this can be a lifesaver.

Not to speak for Shade but he could have been referring to wounding being better for elementals as it will still affect them while puncturing does not. As you won't get sneak attack damage to help bypass their DR, having power attack for those mobs could be more helpful as a low-str rogue.

[QuantumFX]

wounding being better for elementals as it will still affect them while puncturing does not.

Actually that's incorrect as well. Puncturing is a burst effect and isn't blocked by fortification. It does work on elementals even though neither wounding or puncturing should work on them.

That's what I get for listening to that noob Illuminati then .

If you want to see something really shocking check out the P&P description of puncturing in the online d20 SRD. I feel like my elf rangers have really been exploiting...

That one wizard level is going to cast you way of the assassin 2, which I thought was the whole point? Who knows when the next level cap will be :l

[Master_of_None]

Taking that many fighter levels in a row is going to make it tough to keep up your skills. I'd suggest considering throwing in a rogue level in between so you're not too far behind. It could make dealing with traps at those levels difficult, especially if you don't have the best gear.

[~True_Knight]

Ok, changes I have made. Dumped PA...it just isn't worth enough to be effective. It takes away from attack, and attack is exactly what this build needs the most. And besides, because of enhancements she is picking up all of Elf Melee Damage and Elf Melee Attack... so she should be more than set on attack and damage and I'm think she will use a rapier and at lease a +2 or higher backstabbing dagger in off hand (or a seeker or stat damage dagger). So no to PA. I interspaced the levels between rogue and fighter and I also dropped a level of fighter and gained a level of rouge...gained more backstab and will be set for WotAII when it's made available. Opted for quickdraw in order to have the quick change of weapons available. She will keep the level of wiz to give her an edge in UMD and extend for her Dragonmarks.

So here is the build:

When cap goes up though, do you plan on taking a 4th level of fighter? If not, go rogue instead of your 3rd level of fighter unless you want the .25 BAB.

[GeneralDiomedes]

I was using some of the techniques in Purge the Fallen Shrine last night with a bad PuG when I realized: I could solo it with 2 of my rangers through simple stealth bodypulling...

Just don't get your move silently too high or they can no longer hear you and it won't work. My 0 stealth Sorc can still body pull, while my very stealthy Ranger no longer can unless they are vermin or undead.

[~True_Knight]

When cap goes up though, do you plan on taking a 4th level of fighter? If not, go rogue instead of your 3rd level of fighter unless you want the .25 BAB.

It's possible that I may take another level of ftr at a higher level (after cap raise...) or not. Haven't weighed the differences of this yet. If they put STWF in the game it's possible.

[QuantumFX]

Well Malrani has House P fueled ninja abilities. (Least DM of Shadow + Extend.)
Xoll has invisibility scrolls. (Gonna go 16 Ranger/3 Paladin/1 Rogue since he didn't have the skill points for Hide/Move Silently)
Baalric just gets mailed all the invisibility pots I pull. (This is the guy that played tank/ninja in Purge.)

One more revision. Made changes to starting stats... dropped 3 levels of ftr to 2 levels. Picked up first level of ftr sooner at lvl 2 and picked an extra rouge feat at lvl 16. Start Con at 12 and added Toughness feat and dropped Quick Change for more HP. BAB drops by 1. Picked up more stealth and UMD. Saves are also lower. It's a trade off. Also picked up Improved Evasion. Here it is...

[Master_of_None]

How far are you along with this version? Stats look ok; I'd put more points in cha, but that's a judgment call. I ask because I think you'd benefit from switching around finesse and twf so you can take finesse first. The benefits of twf aren't that great until you get at least improved, and you might be using a shield at low levels anyway. Finesse will help you right away.

I also see you don't have improved crit. I really think you should fit that in somewhere; it's a great feat for any combat class. I'd certainly take it over toughness (which you can get on the Minos helm anyway), and probably even greater twf.

[Stealthbr]

How is the build doing on solo or missions that require you to actually kill more than just the boss? What about group missions? Does anyone know what is the speed penalty when stealthing? Also, I find your dex a bit too low considering its your main stat. What do you do when a group requires you to disable a certain trap? Are you having a hard time with your rogue skills? Your UMD is pretty low also considering your base Cha is only 8. Are the dragon marks lasting long enough that makes it a good addition to the build?

So far, it's been the easiest of all my builds to solo with. She ranges with a +1 Acid crossbow and is able to stay stealthed so well that she can pick off members of a group one at a time and they usually don't know where to look. When it comes to the boss, I use the dragon mark...get in to position and take the boss out with a backstab. The dragonmark has been lasting long enough so far. I also have on her a robe of shadow +1, boots of elven kind +3 and cloak of elven kind +3. Trapwise no problems, she also has googles of disable traps +3.

After I got her to level 3, I rerolled her using the stats above. I am not too far along to go ahead and reroll her again. What would be the suggested stats that you might use?
