AA - Manyshot and 10K Stars Kensei

[PeaBrainCarl]

I have been looking for a good AA build for some time. After looking at some of the builds on the forums to find what I wanted, as well as seeing one build use 10K Stars, I decided to put together a build of my own. I created a few builds and finally settled on this one. I would like feedback on the build incase I am missing something simple or if there is a better way to acheive the same results.

Build:
~12 Fighter~
-Kensei II
-7 Feats (including Greater/Weapon Spec for +4 Dmg)
-Higher Base HP
-Haste Boost IV

~6 Monk~
-Ninja Spy I (Ki Regen, 1d6 SA Dmg, and Shadow Fade)
-3 Feats (not counting Monk Path)
-10K Stars (with Zen Archery, both weapon attack and chance to shoot more arrows are based on Wisdom)
-Healing Amp I
-Stances (Wind needed for 10K Stars, Earth to generate Ki without meleeing and for damage reduction, Fire to increase to-hit and faster Ki gain when meleeing, Water for to-hit and extra arrow chance)

~2 Ranger~
-Bow Strength
-Rapid Shot

Notes: 32 Point Build, also takes Past Life: Sorcerer

your missing ips which is critical on a ranged build also deflect arrows is almost useless so just put ips there.

Not sure I'd call IPS "critical" but its defiantly important. Also to the op, with that much wis did you think about going helf w/ a cleric dilly? Would grab you an extra feat (so you could grab ips and defelect arrows ) and better self-healing?

[Hobgoblin]

also, i could be wrong, but i thought you didnt get a blue bar till you hit ranger 4, so wouldnt you not get the sp to cast your imbue?

Good catch, this could be fixed by changing race to helf (as suggested earlier) and useing the extra feat for rapid shot and dropping both ranger lvls for bard/wizzy/sorc just for blue bar.

I realised this after posting the build. I actually posted the build then searched around if Past Life: Sorc would give a blue bar without being able to cast spells. This build is moot.

[DustTheWind]

I highly recommend 1 caster something for sp. 7 levels of monk for the self healing option using ki. And then 12 levels of fighter. Protection from magic missile might be a nice option, or heal wands from cleric possibly. However you end up shorter on feats then... except for maybe by wizard and take the mental toughness feat.

[FengXian]

I've been considering kensei II + 10k stars AA for a while, best way is prolly 12fighter/7monk/1wizard...but right now I think the 12 monk 6 ranger 2 fighter is better...gotta wait for lv 25 to be available before we can make the "perfect" build I guess :P
