I currently have an elf AA that I'm planning on TR'ing into half-elf AA that uses Zen Archery (6 monk / 11 ranger / 3 arti). My current build uses scimitars, but I'm working on crafting his GS items now. I already have a lit 2 longbow, but I want two melee weapons to switch to when TWF'ing.
My question: do I craft two lit 2 short swords to remain centered as a monk (will have ninja spy I) or is it not worth it since I'll only have 6 monk levels? Should I just craft two lit 2 khopeshes for the better critical range and not worry about being centered? Or would scimitars be good? I'm looking best dps option; I'm not sure if remaining centered will be all that important. Khopeshes of water look very attractive, too, which seems another point in favor of khopesh.
While we're on the subject, lit 2 is the best path for me to go, correct? I'll be using longbow mostly, but when I do switch to TWF'ing, I want as high dps as possible.
If khopesh, I think I can fit the weapon proficiency by dropping mental toughness. I have energy of the arti which should satisfy the AA requirement, but when I was using the character creator, energy of the arti wasn't working to satisfy the prereq, and I had to build using mental toughness. I assume this is a bug with the character creator. Worse case scenario - I have to use master's touch scrolls for the proficiency - a pain, but doable.
