20 pure rogue or 18pal/2rog or bard/fighter/rogue?

[HarveyMilk]

Here's the deal. I pulled all the mats for epic silken mail. I know I know, don't build around one item. But the fact is, I want to make an epic item. =)

I figure it's best for a rogue:
+16 armor
+15 move silently
axeblock
colorless and blue slots

So I wrote up a build, pasted below, for a 20 rogue. I don't have a rogue, so assassinate, especially with U5 changes sounds fun. PLUS I have a daggertooth belt hanging out that I could put on this guy for fun.

Now, please check out my build and criticize etc... but I'm also wondering if an 18 pal 2 rog DoS would just be all-around better, plus much tankier ofc.

Obviously the rogue, with radII and stealth, would be fun on trash, but not as hot on bosses, just bc he can't get as high AC as the real AC builds. But that's fine, bc he can sneak attack like no one's business on bosses without high fort.

Now I'm also considering a bard/fighter/rogue warchanter with sneak skills. I'd need to get decent AC, and with sneak skills, I could sneak ahead and fascinate stuff. With decent strength, and as a dwarf, I could even grab stunning blow. Please help!

[toughguyjoe]

your non sneak attack DPS looks to me to be a bit low with that str score. I'd have to look closer to see if theres anything else I wouldn't do.

[HarveyMilk]

Thanks, dropped 2 from dex and popped 3 into str and 1 into int

[DethTrip]

I hate squishy dex builds personally. Not nearly enough dps or hps. I think you can do better.
