Working on a top dps khopesh build.

[Alkot]

As the title says this is me looking for ideas and advice on how to bring twf to the top dps end of the spectrum(if that is any longer possible).
The common splits for twf seem to lean towards the 12/6/2 or 18/2 usually favoring fighter kensai splashes.
I've had a modified but still outdated blitz 12ftr/6bar/2rog sitting around for a long time, this post is mainly to find a new build for his gear and have it be top dps in the endgame.

Things that jump out at me for different dps possibilities:

6 Ranger for tempest, recently while looking at the wiki i noticed that tempest was updated to include some bonuses to prr(atleast from the last time i looked at it.). I noticed that someone had posted that tier 1 gave a 5% unlisted stacking bonus to attack speed, very interesting if true but im doubtful. Confirmation would be great on this.

Deeper rogue splashes, thinking with 6 and 12 splashes for al the SA. sneak can be crazy powerful now with it being effected by damage boosts like the action boost and even adrenaline.

Halfelf, this seems to be the best option for twf in pretty much any case at this time. class stat bonuses, racial damage boosts, and the versatility of the dilettantes.

Weaponry: Most people when going for the twf khopesh build assume that the drows must be the top dogs, ive seen a number of breakdowns that show that in many situations they can be very close to lit2s. Doubtful that that would be the case here but there are alternatives in the random generated pool. Mixes with stunning drows and high dps named random gens like tempestuous and others similar creep up on the drow khopesh rather quickly.

Destinies: The obvious 2 that come to mind are dreadnought and fury, there are other solid and potentially surpassing destinies tho. I look to avatar and possibly shadow dancer depending on the build.

My build ideas as thus far:

Assuming the 5% attack speed is a real thing at this moment.
12ftr 6ranger 2rogue:Kensai goodness, increased melee speed, rams might, favord enimies, evasion and sneak attack

12ftr 8barb: base dps O.C crit ready, high strength, high stun dc, frenzy

14rog 6ranger or 13/1 with fighter or barbarian: lots of SA, improved evasion, increased melee speed, rams might, favored enemies, possibly rage, access to 2 rogue special feats.

~more to come...


I'm very excited to see what other experienced players views and builds are, lets kill the cookie cutter esos.
P.S I will be updating the op with info and advice given by people here to make this a good resource.

Have you considered 12 fighter/7 rogue/1 druid? Gets some really nice sneak attack damage without becoming overly reliant on it, along with really good general damage.

20 rogue is top dps two weapon fighting build. If you want to go for a combo build with manyshot and two weapon fighting a 12 rogue 6 ranger 2 fighter is interesting dpswise.

Human 12 Ranger/7Rogue/1 Monk or Fighter also has potential: +20% more sneak attack.

Something like:

7 class + 1 human + 1 Monk/Fighter +2 Epic = 11 Feats
Base Feat (5) EWP: Khopesh, Mobility, Spring Attack, IC: Slashing, Power Attack
Fighter/Monk (1): Dodge
Human (1): Toughness
Other (2) Cleave, Great Cleave
Epic (2): OC: Slashing, ?Stunning Blow/Quick Draw/Precision/Empower Healing?

13 Rogue/6Ranger/1Fighter is also an option. 12 Rogue gets ISA with +3d6 sneak.

Something like:

Feats: 7 class + 1 human + 1 Fighter +2 Epic = 11 Feats
(11): EWP: Khopesh, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, IC: Slashing, 
Power Attack, Toughness, Precision, Stunning Blow, GTWF, ISA

Few other ideas I've got in a list I was considering:

12 Barb/7Rogue/1Druid - Human = 7 + 2 +1 = 10 feats: 
TWF, ITWF, GTWF, Power Attack, Toughness, IC, Cleave, GC, OC, Khopesh.

12Fighter/7Rogue/1Druid = 7 + 2 epic + 7 fighter = 16.  
Base (7): Khopesh, TWF, ITWF, GTWF, Power Attack, Toughness, IC. 
Kensei (3): WS/WF/GWS for Kensei. 
OC (3): Cleave,GC,OC. 
3 spare or 4 if human. Precision, Stunning Blow, Improved Sunder, Dodge, ?.

Human is better for the extra feat over HE if you have Rogue levels. Otherwise HE with Rogue Dilly for +3d6 sneak.


Whatever the case, sneak attack builds likely to be the max dps option.
