    Default Elven Arcane Archer Assassin

    After seing a Elven Kensai/Arcane Archer build (here http://forums.ddo.com/showpost.php?p...90&postcount=1) I thought I would see what I could do with an assassin. This was mostly for fun to see if I could do it. But please let me know If you think that this could be a viable build. I did not incude tome increases or any equipment.

    A level of bard gives you two uses of mesmerize (albiet costly) or two uses of minor song buff (for free). Wizard gives you a feat. What would you use the feat for? Perhaps extending nightshield. If you used extend on displacement that would be useful. I could see the wizard level on a wf.

    There is a method to my madness on the wizard level. I played with bard and sorcerer both but wizards allows me to make my two requirements for Arcane Archer as enhancements. With the others I would have to spend a feat (on an already feat starved build) on mental toughness.

    You need 1 Of: Mental Toughness (Feat), Elven Arcanum I (Elf Wizard), Sorcerer Energy of the Dragonblooded I (Sorcerer), Wizard Energy of the Scholar I (Wizard), Bard Energy of Music I (Bard)

    The arcane caster doesn't matter, so long as it's arcane.

    Ah thanks for pointing that out, I may rethink the build. Currently I just made a toon up to test play this build so I will let every one know how it goes.

    I have revamped the build slightly replacing wizard and fighter with Bard and Ranger Respectively. The reason for the switch from fighter to ranger was so I could get Bow Str for free so therefore I did not have to take combat expertise, which allowed me to take other feats sooner.

    How is he going to get a casted displacement?

    He would have to build for it. Bard also gives the AA prereqs.

    Well, sure! But the OP's original build did not have a single level of bard in it. /facepalm

    And the second build, has 1 level of bard. I'd say a displace scroll is a no-go. Now, if he builds in the Dragonmark...that's different, but tough to work in all the feats.

    Drop the second toughness feat and pick up improved precise shot instead. you are missing out on a huge amount of damage without it as a ranged build.
