1st TR Rogue 13/Monk 7 Acrobat Build

[Jevern]

So I plan to TR my rogue into this build once I get that elusive Tharne's set (It hates her, seriously). I havent built her current life very well at all, and she has a tendency to go squish pretty easily. So I plan to go quite the opposite from her current life, and make her next life a much more survivable build. This build will basically have some means of self healing, as well as a ridiculously fast attack speed which I've fallen in love with and excellent saves. She'll still be able to do traps, though, because I don't want to leave her first life behind totally. It'll be a Thief-Acrobat II/Shintao I rather than Ninja Spy I though, because I wanted the light enhancements and also wanted to save on some of the AP. I don't mind giving up the 1d6 sneak attack, although not having shadow fade is kind of sad.

Okay, because I don't really like pasting the entire character generator thing in:

This build was done bearing in mind that I don't have much of endgame gear and tomes. I've factored a +1 tome for strength, dex, con and cha in, because I don't have that many +2 tomes yet, and have no +3 tomes at all. So really, what I want to find out or ask, is if there are any glaring gaps that I've missed out in this build, or stuff that I've overlooked. Thanks in advance!

My main advice is to take your time with the TR. I'd rather collect some raid loot, DT robes, GS items and one or two +3 tomes than to TR prematurely.

Or is your current char that much of a gimp that you need to TR from it?

I don't see you taking the second human adaptability. You take Human Adapt Str, but no second one. I see you take the Rogue Dex III which costs 6 AP. The Human Adapt II for Dex would give same result but only cost 4 AP.

Then you have 2 to spend elsewhere. (Unless the Rogue Dex III is a requirement for the TA II PrE. I'm not real familiar with that one's pre-req's)

It is.

Rogue Dex III is a prerequisite for Theif Acrobat II.

And it's basically because I want to TR this toon mid-june or I won't have time to play DDO for quite a while after that, so won't be able to concentrate on her. She's not terribly gimped, but squishy. If I do go ahead with this, I've got from now till June to finish getting what I want for her.

As for items, I've got unfinished GS that can be finished next time she goes for a Shroud, and a few good staves. I'm not sure what else I'd need besides Tharne's and DT, and I'm looking for the former, and I'm not sure if I want to spend the time getting the latter before I TR.

Check the big f'n stick thread. Great info in there. You need the dreamspitter and some version of the shadow staff from lordsmarch (petrifying and destructive are good choices, as is bloody). I went destructive due to role in current party. I recommend 1 fighter over 7 monk. Bab boost lets you pick up good stuff at 12. It is hella fun with fire/dark/fire finisher, solid stuns dc's, traps, evasion, decent ac for leveling...may do this one twice with a +5 heart.

Pretty sure you cant use light finishers with a weapon, even ki, in hand.
