Need some build help

[Draccus]

My main character is a 12 rogue who I absolutely love to play. Recently, some guild mates decided to start a weekly dedicated group so I started my first alt. I was going to make another rogue but they already had one so I decided to make a fighter/rogue.

Right now, he's a drow, 2 Rogue/1 Fighter and will probably take fighter levels the rest of the way or at least for the next several levels. He's got TWF, Oversized TWF, and Toughness. Stats are 16, 18, 14, 10, 10, 10 if I recall correctly. I'll be putting all his stat level-ups into strength.

What fighter enhancements should I take? I've taken drow rapier damage and will take the drow rapier attack enhancements as well but other than that, I'm not sure which fighter enhancements are best. Do fighers have enhancement lines, like my rogue's Way of the Assassin?

My main role in the group will be DPS and off-tanking.

There are no prestige type enhancements for fighters yet. We have been told that we are getting Kensai's defenders and purple dragon knights although there are no details yet.

Good enhancments to take are fighter strength, haste boost, toughness, AC boost for 20 second bursts. The intimidate line is beneficial if you have the skill. If you plan on using a towersheild much the mastery enhancments will allow you to use more of your dex bonus while it is equipped (but it is expensive AP-wise).

I would also take the drow spell resistance line and enchantment resistance line (or is that only high elf?) as your will save will not be good.

Edit - We have been told that the next mod will also feature enhancments to the weapon specialization feats, make sure you take weapon focus and, when you get fighter lvl 4, weapon specialization. You should take those anyway though.

Based on your starting stats I would disregard any obsession you have with using a tower shield and switch your mindset to using Mithral heavy shields and breastplates or if you can get one a Kundarak delving suit. In this case you will need to use armor masteries but can save the AP from the tower shield masteries and use them elsewhere. If you were not opposed to rerolling at this point I would recommend not putting points into wisdom and instead putting those points into charisma and possibly taking force of personality and this also leaves the door open for UMD. This should double the number of weapons you have access to and may even provide some nice healing benefit at some point especially with the levels of rogue there is the potential for using heal scrolls with little to no failure.

Very good stat distribution for what is essentially a pure fighter build.

Thanks for the advice all.

One more question, is it recommended to keep adding fighter levels after my 2 rogue levels or should I go for more of a balance? In other words, should I be shooting for Rogue7/Fighter7 or Rogue2/Fighter14?

We have a trapsmith in the dedicated group already so I won't need super-high trap skills. I'm really just looking for DPS.

Go fighter for the rest and TAKE the weapon spec feats when you have both norm and grt it is +4 damage another 8 points of str in a way ( don't quite mem but its around 6or8).
I suggest power attack as well around 6ith level.

Here is my build that looks quite similar to yours.

Mine is dwarf for the HP bonuses and AC enahncements but with you being Drow you will get the Dex enhancements and be able to squeek out a little more AC it looks like.

As you can see my build is pretty versatile in the DPS and Off-tank departments as well as Rogue abilities.

I'm not saying you need to roll my build cause its the best...just giving you a sorta template to look at for some insight.

It depends on your strength really, sneak attack damage can add up to quite a lot however it does not work against undead, constructs or anything you have aggroed. If there is tank with either high DPS or intimidate you will out dps pretty much everything you can sneak attack. A high strength, on the other hand, will be consistant against all mobs. Additional fighter levels gives you more HP, a higher base attack bonus and a greater selction of feats such as imp trip, combat expertise, power attack, stunning blow, imp sunder etc.

In short if you have a low str then take more rogue levels, otherwise decide whether you want max dps vs versatility and more durability.
