Ranger/Pally/Rogue

[LewsTherin]

Looking for some constructive criticism on this build. Did not put any tomes in. This is just a bare bones concept. He'll be a dex based tempest 2/kotc 1. Good dps, ac, saves and umd. I'm looking for ways to make this better.

[Gnorbert]

Why wait so long for Tempest I?

Imo, delay rogue level 2 to level 11, take spring attack at level 9 and tempest at level 10 when you hit 6 ranger. That 10% attack speed is going to get you more damage than Imp crit: pierce.

[Kriogen]

Go Str based tempest and you will be much better. And you also save a feat (weapon finnese).

[Artos_Fabril]

Why are you splashing 2 rogue levels when rangers get evasion at level 9 anyway? Is it just for the skill points? If so, why not hold rogue2 until 20, so you can spend the points most efficiently? Also, the half a point floating in Open lock is worthless. You could put it in Jump if you've go nothing better to spend it on.

[unbongwah]

I would also recommend a STR-based Tempest, especially if you're going ranger 11 and getting GTWF free: saves a feat and ups your DPS. Base stats of, say, 16 / 16 / 14 / 10 / 8 / 12 with all level-ups into STR. You might find paladin 7 (which gets you your next bump in auras) more useful than rogue 2 (which just gets you more skill points since ranger 9 provides Evasion).
