    Default Elven AA Blitz 12 Fighter 7 Barbarian 1 Artificer

    In order to fit in all of the feats I don't think TWF is possible, so instead I went with Falchions because elves get +2 damage and to hit using them.

    Fighter: Kensai II, Power Surge, Haste Boosts, Improved Crit Range
    Barbarian: Rage, Crit Multiplier, Frenzy
    Artificer: Blue Bar, Level 1 Spells, Traps, UMD
    Elf: AA, Falchion and Ranged Damage and To-Hit

    What do you guys think?

    Currently do not have half elf, also since I can't afford the Khopesh feat, I figured elf along with the racial weapon enhancements would make up for some melee DPS.

    Most obvious issue is having enough skill pts to max UMD and any other skills you want without gimping your other stats. Second issue is feats: you get 14 total (7 regular, 7 ftr); you need to use up 3 for AA, 2 more for Kensai II (presuming longbow Kensai), 2 more for FB I, so that's half down right away; ideally you also have Toughness, Rapid Shot, Bow STR, IC Ranged, Prec Shot, and IPS - that's another six; that gives you one more for bumping up melee (IC Slash).

    In short, it's doable, but I'm kinda lukewarm on the idea. Though getting Rapid Reload & exotic xbows free is kinda nifty...I guess.

    What does it lack that makes it lukewarm?

    I was thinking of speccing for falchions for kensaii, the AA is just to add more burst DPS to the blitz build.

    I was thinking after rounding up a bunch of mobs, you can then proceed to many shot them, and then cleave/great cleave the rest to death. Also as an arty, if you want, you can pull out a crossbow and endless fusillade them to death as well.

    Endless Fusilade comes from arty 6, which this build obviously doesn't have.

    I just prefer rogue 2 / rgr 6 / ftr 12 as a combo: you still gain UMD & trap skills (if you can find the pts to maintain them), plus Evasion, more skill pts, a lot more feats, lvl 1 rgr spells (mostly for Ram's Might & of course Jumping ), 2 FEs, etc. You give up Rage & some HPs from dropping barb; and you lose Rapid Reload, exotic xbow prof., and scrolls +1 from dropping arty; but the pros outweigh the cons, IMHO.

    Still, it's your char - you do what you want with it.
