    Default Need help with AA build!

    To start this off let me tell all of you something about myself, i like building toons. I have more fun building toons than i do playing the game. I also like deleting toons and leaving this game for 6 months or so, but i always seem to come back. Im hoping this time that I will stay and lvl a toon to 20 for a change. Now, I have a idea for a sweet build and need some help with minor tweaking of it. The idea is a 12 FvS/ 6 Monk/ 2 Fighter H Elf, im sure this has been done before or something close to it but i still need help. My goals are to make a solo able AA build that can do good dps in grps. Starting stats im not really sure on but i have a few ideas.

    1
    Str 14 +2Tome +6Item=22
    Dex 15+1Race+2Tome+6Item=24
    Con 10+2Tome+6Item=18
    Int 13+1Tome=14
    Wis 14+1Race+2Class+2Tome+5lvl+6Item=30
    Cha 13+3class+2Tome+2Item=20
    2
    Str 10+2tome+6item=18
    Dex 15+1race+2tome+6item=24
    Con 14+2Tome+6item=22
    Int 13+1tome=14
    Wis 14+1race+2class+2tome+5lvl+6item=30
    Cha 13+3class+2tome+2item=20
    3
    Str 12+2tome+6item=20
    Dex 15+1race+2tome+6item=24
    Con 8+2tome+6item=16
    Int 13+1tome=14
    Wis 16+1race+2class+2tome+6item+5lvl=32
    Cha 13+3class+2tome+2item=20

    Now, i know what everyone is thinking on that 3rd one, con 8! gimp! but in all honesty i can actualy see it going this way. FvS will give me +40hp from toughness enhancements meaning that it will have close hp to a drow or elf ranger with starting con stat of 12. I will still get 400 plus hp with gear and im not sure how much 60hp will help, then again the highest lvl i have ever made it to is 12(then i deleted it and left the game lol). Btw all lvl ups are going to wisdom (+att +AC +DC of spells and +dps while using 10k stars). 13 Int for more skills plus combat expertise, I plan on using +1 tome at 3rd lvl. The Dex at 15 with a +2 Tome at lvl 7 or 8 will get me manyshot at 8 or 9. 13Cha for paladin D.

    For Feats im going for:
    Paladin D from H Elf
    Point Blank Shot
    Mental Toughness (for AA)
    WF: Ranged (for AA)
    Manyshot
    Improved Crit: Ranged
    Max Spell
    Empower Spell
    Toughness
    Combat Expertise
    Extend Spell
    Bow STR

    I believe im missing 1 feats that im not sure on, im thinking Quicken Spell or Precise Shot but who knows? any ideas for that 1 slot? For spell selection it will be Buffs/cure mod+cure serious/ Divine Punishment and BB.
    BB will be used for grp of mobs without evasion and Divine Punishment will work its way into my dps chain, as in Manyshot/ 10k stars/ then Divine Punishment with normal shots on CDs. The spell would only be used on tough fights but i do like that idea (though im not sure on how to get max dmg from it). Skills will be max concentration, diplomacy and UMD(if i can manage it) while putting enough points into spot, balance and jump to make them worth it. Diplomacy im not to keen on but the idea is to drop aggro in grps and the same in solo using a summon monster (by scroll). Enhancements i know im taking are: AoV, 10K, stances, toughness enhancements, +light Dmg from FvS and attack speed boost from fighter. Im not sure on what gear i should be shooting for at 20 so some ideas would help alot. This is still just as idea that i came up with and would like as much help as i can get. O and i forgot to mention this is the first time ever using the forums so i apologize if im not using a format.

    Default After looking for better options!

    So going paladin D for H Elf was a mistake! with the base saves of a build like this i dont need it. Instead im going rogue D for 3d6 sneak attack dmg. Stats will look more like....

    Stats
    Str 13 +1class +2tome +6item= 22
    Dex 15 +1class(rogue D)+2tome +6item= 24
    Con 15 +1race +2tome +6item= 24
    Int 12 +2tome= 14
    Wis 14 +1race +2class +2tome +5lvl +6item= 30
    Cha 9 +3class +2tome +6item= 20

    I looked through my feats and found out i was missing Rapid Shot, so my feats r covered!
    Dark or Light monk? and what gear should i be looking at for lvl 20?

    Thank you for that link, it clears up the few gear choices i was looking for. I think he was going for a more grp played style, rather than a solo build that can perform in grp play. At any case im off start my new toon, hopefully i last longer than lvl 12 before i give up lol.

    Hi,

    Your archer will be more effective with a higher strength and with the feat Improved Precise Shot.

    Zen Archery would use your high WIS to hit, and is required for remaining centred while using a bow. I don't think Ten Thousand Stars works unless you are centred.

    Thanks.

    Zen Archery lets you stay centered while using a bow, kind of the point of the build. I agree that IPS is important to the build. I disagree about a high strength. I'd prefer to free up a feat slot by taking ranger dilettante and being happy with a buffed 26 strength with everything else going into wisdom (which gives more DPS than the same investment into strength).

    Feats are too tight to do it any other way, imo.

    Default Ah!

    I missed the Zen Archer! a agree that its the point of the build and didnt mean to not add it. Wax, i ended up with going with your idea for the build, you did a great job on it. The only thing i change was instead of stunning fist i went with Bow Str, that free's the build up to take rogue dily for 3d6 sneak attack dmg, Thats not much but it is a boost to dmg on non immune/heavy Fort mobs.

    Pretty sure that bow strength isn't a monk bonus feat. That level 6 slot doesn't have any ideal feats to slot in there. The choices are dodge (for ninja-spy) or stunning fist for the most part; I opted to go light path for the buffs and hence chose stunning fist.
