Generic Temp/AA Swappable?

[BOgre]

Just curious if anyone has ever tried to build a Ranger that is able to swap his enhancements from Temp to AA and back 'on the fly' so to speak. I mean I know there will be serious trade offs, and you'd only be able do it once every, what, 3 days? Just curious. Since enhancements are pretty fluid, it seems like a cool thing to try and do. Obviously I couldn't achieve it with my current Temp build, but, has anyone experimented with this kind of thing ever?

You just don't have the feats to make it work and not suck.

Tempest III requires 4 feats

AA requires 3

An AA's melee is 10-12% behind a tempest anyway.

On a pure ranger you could take all the feats but have nothing left over for anything else - not a good idea, IMHO. On a MCed build - something with lots of feats to spare, like rgr 6 / ftr 12 / monk 2 - you could probably do it, but it'd be a questionable use of one's feats, IMHO. Especially since Tempest I is way less awesome than it used to be.

tempest: 4 feats
AA: 3 feats

Normal race: 7 feats
human: +1
1monk: +1
1fighter: +1
---------------------
3 extra feats for a 18rgr/1monk/1fighter.

2 will be toughness and power attack.

1 left for Improved Crit - but you cant take it for both melee and ranged.

thanks guys, yeah, that's kinda what I figured. I knew there'd be sacrifices, but wasn't sure how bad it would be. TempIII could probably get tossed...
Anyways, I don't dream that it'd be 'great' build, but I got to thinking that since enhancements are swappable, then wouldn't it be nice if one could build a toon that can re-spec himself at will...
Anyhow, thanks again all.
