Monk/Ranger/Fighter

[Wyrmnax]

Yeah yeah, i know... the everyday dps build everyone and their dog use.

Anyway, started as a Monk. Almost level 3 now. Time to change to Ranger6/fighter12

Should i go Fighter first or Ranger first? Fighter gives me heavier armor, Ranger gives me free TWF feats (non issue really) and the ability to use divine wands.

Anything else? I am leaning on going fighter - I can still use potions, although they are more expensive than a CLW wand.


Also, how do you guys do with your monk enhancements? Nothing seems particularly useful, and i think i might be stuck with the first 2 levels of enhancements being monk... can i respect that once i got fighter or ranger to get fighter or ranger enhancements?

Of course, realizing you need to be wearing light armor for evasion to work at all made the whole idea stupid. Ranger it is.

Ranger first, to get advantage of the free ranger feats as early as possible.

You dont need to spend your enhancement points if you choose not to. However if you do spend them, you can also spend some plat to respec them every few days.

Both Monk and Ranger are great ways to start at 1st lvl. I love adamant full plate from lvl 1 to 4. 21ac and dr3/- does amazing things for survivability at those lvls so I would probably go with fighter next. +1adamant FP is pretty easy to get at AH and usually affordable enough.

That being said, I agree with draga, jump into ranger for the free lower lvl feats before taking more than 1 lvl of fighter so you can use those fighter feats after ranger for the higher lvl feats.

Well, started with Monk for early game evasion, put 1 level into fighter before realizing respeccing my twf feats would be hell if i started them, going rng now.

So its mnk2/ftr1/rng3. Ranger to 6, fighter to a lot.

Thanks for the heads up about the twf feats though.
