The Cutthroat 12/7/1 ranger/monk/rogue shortsword user

[AtomicMew]

This is a build I've been kicking around which I have planned for my 3rd or 4th life. The idea is to combine ninja spy, wind stance, cutthroat and a lit II to do amazing damage at all levels, rock out full Jorasco dragonmarks and trapping ability while sacrificing little. This is as much a leveling build as an end game one.

Why shortswords? They're extremely flavorful and tasty for one. And also, epic cutthroat/lit II does give a small increase in DPS compared to dual lit II shortswords. Meanwhile, staying centered means I can use shadow fade for on demand invisibility and stacking blur effect and fists of darkness for a little extra DPS.

I know its a simple fix, but you meant IC pierce right?

Iirc, the Dragonmarks will only be enhanced by Empower Healing.

You recall incorrectly.
The greater Dragonmark will only be affected by Empower Healing. The Least and Lesser Dragonmarks will be affected by everything, as will his normal Cure spells.

Thanks for clearing this up.

Anyway, especially with the ranger levels and the spell selection provided by these already, I think that it's better to enhance the bursty part of the self-healing than only the one which is available via clickies, spells and wands.
