Rogue/Ranger idea.

[Mithran]

I know there are a few of these around, already, but I've had a difficult time with Enhancement points. I'm open to criticisms on this build.

[Noctus]

The build looks good to me, except for 2 things:



Strong advice 1:
Switch OTWF for GTWF.

GTWF gives you 2 additional attacks. Thats is +20% of attacks in the same time, for most cases.
OTWF on a drow gives you a rather low bonus, mearly +10% more crits with your off-hand attacks. When switching from Rapier/shortsword to dual-Rapier.And most of your damage comes from sneak attack damage, which is unaffected by crits.


Strong advice 2:
You really, really should max out Subtle Backstabber. No other enhancement like will save you so many hits and lets you cause so much damage than this in it´s end result!

[Mithran]

Thanks

For level 20, I'm thinking 12 Rogue for Assassin 2 & 8 Ranger for Wild Instincts.

For level 20, I'm thinking 12 Rogue for Assassin 2 & 8 Ranger for Wild Instincts.

Wild Instincts is a 3rd level ranger spell (aka, requires 11 levels of ranger). With 20 levels to work with you can not fit in Assassin II and Wild Instincts.

[Impaqt]

The best MC Rogue Ranger Split IMO is 13Rogue/7Ranger.

3rd Rogue Special ABility and 7d6 Sneak Attack damage

20pt Resists from the ranger side.

There no need for wild instincts on this build anyway.

[Mithran]

Does it make sense to put more points into Intelligence to the detriment of Strength?

I'm thinking I may put more points into Dexterity and Intelligence, take Weapon Finesse and try to go A/C in lieu of Con.

Well, thats a Completely different build then. You should also consider a level of Monk as well in that case.
The build can still be STR based though... My Latest creation is a STR based Drow 13Rogue/6Ranger/1 Monk. SO far shes at l6 and I'm really enjoying the build.

Its in my build index... Leesa.

[DelScorcho]

If I were building it, I'd aim for Rogue 13 (for the extra feat)/Ranger 6/Monk 1. Those builds will be beasts when the cap increases.
