    Default Another proposed Ninja Spy / Tempest Build

    I've been playing DDO since 2006 and I've never leveled a rogue past 6. I've always wanted to, just never got around to it. This isn't much of a rogue (2 splash), but it has rogue skills. This build will primarily use a shortsword in wind stance for attack speed using ki strikes. On enemies like undead, constructs and elementals, this build has the option of handwraps (2d6 base damage) and touch of death.

    Race: Drow
    Alignment: Lawful Neutral
    Path: Inevitable Dominion (Dark)
    Drow provides shortsword attack and damage enhancements for use with Ninja spy. Lawful Neutral to allow use of litany of the dead in the future and handwraps do not require a UMD20 check for pure good. Greensteel shortswords do not have a UMD requirement. Drow also provides the possibility of incorporating the Drow Scorpion Wraith PrE to this build.

    Level Split: Monk12/Ranger6/Rogue2
    Monk 12 for teir 3 stances, abundant step, ninja spy II, etc. Ranger for Tempest, which stacks with the 7.5% insight from wind stance3. Ranger also provides Improved Two Weapon Fighting for free. Rogue 2 for rogue skills, haste boost, sneak attack.

    Starting Stats 32 Point:
    STR: 16
    DEX: 15
    CON: 14
    INT: 13
    WIS: 8
    CHA: 10

    Strength based for damage, DEX at minimum required with +2 tome for greater twf. Use a +2 dex tome for GTWF and a +1 INT tome at level 3 for much needed skill points.

    Average Gear Unbuffed Stats:
    STR: 30 (16 + 5 levels + 2 tome + 6 item + 1 exceptional)
    DEX: 26 (15 + 6 item + 2 tome + 3 Wind Stance)
    CON: 20 (14 + 6 item + 2 tome - 2 Wind Stance)

    Planned Level 20 Combat Strength
    STR: 38 (16 + 5 levels + 2 tome + 6 item + 1 exceptional + 2 exceptional + 2 madstone + 2 rage + 2 yugo)

    Skills

    Close to Max Use Magic Device
    Open Locks, Spot only on Rogue levels with excess points

    Enhancements
    With Ninja Spy II not yet released, it's hard to plan the full enhancement setup, but at a minimum, one should look to have:
    Master Wind Stance
    Master Earth Stance
    Master Fire Stance
    Drow Melee Damage II
    Drow Melee Attack II
    Rogue Haste Boost I
    Ranger Tempest I
    Racial Toughness II
    Touch of Death
    All-Consuming Flame
    Winter's Touch
    Static Charge
    Porous Soul
    Way of the Elegant Crane II or III
    etc.

    Ideal Equipment (Shortsword/Kama):
    Ravager ToD Set: +7 STR Ring, +2 exceptional STR added
    This set bonus adds 1d12+1 damage to every swing with a weapon. It does not work with handwraps, so use this only with shortswords.

    Shintao Monk ToD Set: +6WIS/+1STR Ring, +2 exceptional CON added
    This set bonus provides +2 attack and +2 damage to all hits and gives you +15 concentration from the necklace.

    Weapons:
    Mineral II Shortswords, Lightning Strike II Shortswords, Vorpal Kamas, hell, maybe Epic Sting? haha

    Ideal Equipment (Handwraps):
    Frenzied Berserker ToD Set: +7 STR Ring, Holy Burst added
    Use this instead of the Ravager set when using Handwraps. Provides the same amount of strength and provides +2 damage per punch from set bonus.

    Henshin Mystic ToD Set: +6WIS/+1CON Ring, Burst effect of choice added
    This necklace will give you enhance ki generation for touch of death, especially when fighting things that cannot be crit. 1d4 Fire damage added on every punch.

    Weapons:
    Greater Undead Bane, Greater Elemental Bane, Greater Construct Bane
