Halfling Acrobat Dragon Defender

[Lead-Arm]

I started off wanting to make a Halfling stick fighter with self healing for self sufficiency.
See this thread ... http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=374033

I was inspired by the Imtimistick Build: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php...on+acrobat+DoS

I am also inspired by the Big F'n Stick build and similar stick builds found here:

I looked at going 12 Rogue with 6 Pal and 2 Fighter or Monk But I really wanted to get the Healing Dragon marks with the extra fighter feats although this probably gives me less intimidation. I rolled up this build with 12 Rogue and 8 Fighter.

Notes:
- Not optimized min/max but a fun build to play none-the-less
- This build is still mostly for solo but this newer build gives me more DPS.
- The Bluff in this new build is to gain Sneak Attacks without sneaking for some nice SA damage.
- If soloing a Cleric Hireling comes in handy for summons, buffs, and extra healing or a Paladin for heals and tanking.
- I dropped all the cleric levels to get Dragonmark Healing as suggested in the original post above and got UMD and some Intimidation for when I need to pull a mob off a caster! (Off tanking)
- I like this much better than my original idea! Thsi build gives me more DPS and Defense! Self Healing but no self buffs other than wands/scrolls with UMD
- I am open to suggestions for improvements to skills or enhancements or anything that will help make this a stronger build overall, but this will work fine the way it is too.
- I am playing this build on the Cannith Sever, Name = "Dragonstick Defender" (Say hello if you like and want to let me know you read this post)

seems fun! but theres just one thing i noticed: you might wanna spend the skill points used on balance somewhere else... because once Thief Acrobat II grants you Kip-Up you wont ever make balance checks... unless those anoying moments when the game glitches and you actually get affected by a phisical knockdown effect.

However, i see that you take Thief Acrobat II at level 18, what makes sense with the balance... but if you end up wanting to spend those skill points somewhere else, consider achieving the tier2 of the prestige class a lot earlier than lvl 18. for the rest, seems like a prety fun build!

cheers!

didn't really check the build, as i'm a bit sleepy to check each lvl for feats and enhancements. don't like that format.

anyway, i would geet a bard lvl and pick up emp healing and bardic healing for getting more from dragonmarks. might also go with monk lvls instead of fighter ones and get more heal amp.

There's a couple environmental effects that still make you make balance checks, even with TA 2. Also, if you're going 12 rogue, you should get 13 as well. That rogue feat is really useful. As a rogue, you pretty much should plan on taking Opportunist. Improved Evasion is really good, but don't pass up the chance for Opportunist.
