Looking for a build - Elven AA/Trap Monkey

[Kinryu]

Hi guys. I'm looking for a build to duo run with a guildie. Here are some of the things I'm looking for:

1) Elf
2) 32 pt
3) Arcane archer with a splash of rogue to handle traps

Note: Most of the lower level content I know where the traps are so I know where to search. A lot of the mid-high level content, I don't know where the traps are. Spot will be a bit more valuable to me vs. another player that already knows where the traps are.

I'll also TWF scimitars for times when I'm when mobs come within melee range.

I worked a little bit on the character planner late last night and I think I had stats at 16 STR, 16 DEX, 14 CON, 12 INT, 12 WIS, 8 CHA. I could be off on a few numbers as I'm just going from memory.

Thanks for your help.

IMHO, the simplest (if not necessarily most optimal) approach is this:

But as an elf, you can do something more heavily-multiclassed and take the racial AA line instead. Have a look at my Triple A build for one example.
