Help with PM Fighting build

[Zyerz]

I have two pale masters atm (one is an AA PM experimental and the other your standard garden variety caster) I was thinking, is there an effective way to make a Pale Master knight type build with a decent dps and decent spellcasting?
I'm having trouble coming up with the build...
What do you think?

Ive seen a few that looked decent involving monk.

I made a fighting PM a bit back, he was alot of fun expecially while leveling. But he was not nearly as affective endgame as my regular PM.

I really liked this build. Not sure if it's what your looking for but I hope it helps... Watch the video it explains a lot...

Be aware that a build like this requires quite a bit of gear...

I went a different way, myself. I have a Docent of Defiance from my past life, but I went halfling because I wanted to actually melee on the toon and the +4/8 sneak attack bonus is a big help to melee dps and accuracy.

Here's a video of my toon in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_ex4d5nLyE

How would you run this as a 32pt build?

[unbongwah]

Have a look at the Arcane Knight and my own variant the Wraith Blade for two recent examples of melee Pale Masters (which hopefully aren't terrible ).

this is my build 18wizard/2monk with 30 str and 44 int http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=353732
Very good spellcasting ability, awesome survivability and a pretty good melee option. You can see him in action here:
