Shurikens, pew pew!

[Ilindith]

After getting triple completionist, I decided to go for something ********. So, halfling that throws shurikens. Here it is.

Every number given is with ship buffs + GH + gear.

Halfling Lawful Good
12Monk/4Ranger/4Rogue

Numbers

• HP - 846
• SP - 396
• Fortitude - 56
• Reflex - 72
• Will - 55
• BAB - 20/23 (Can reach over 100 to-hit with Tenser)
• Dodge 26%

Stats	Base	w/gear	Tomes	Levels
STR	8	22	+4
DEX	20	48	+4	+7
CON	14	36	+4
INT	16	25	+4
WIS	10	34	+4
CHA	8	25	+4

• STR - A few points in for weight limit so I don't lose monk stances from debuffs, etc.
• DEX - Needs to be high, more dex = more shurikens and damage.
• WIS - Secondary focus to make 10k better.
• CON/INT - I decided on more INT to have maxed out trap skills. Transferable to CON for those that don't want to trap.
• CHA - Dump stat, but I'm still fabulous.

Modified gear a tiny bit.

Cool. Looks really great. I hope you have as much fun with it as i have with my shuricannon. Damage numbers look great and you even have Trapskills and better healing. Throwers ftw! hehe
For low profile situations when you dont want to grab aggro from a tank i would use Rebellion in the offhand. Good job and +1 and 5 star rating from me for the build! What AC can you reach with it?

[cdr]

A+, would throw again.

[Ilindith]

New feats. Cause I derped on procs.

[Ilindith]

when you dont want to grab aggro from a tank. What AC can you reach with it?

I can deal with the aggro. And if I'm taking it from someone who should be keeping aggro, then they're not built well for their job.

66 AC, but AC is useless anyway.

Hey dis, just wondering what fists of darkness gives you over fists of light?

[Ilindith]

Hey dis, just wondering what fists of darkness gives you over fists of light?

Had to pick one and I'm a evil halfling.

[Ilindith]

Changed gear a bit.

[cipherdawn]

I currently have a 12 rogue, 6 monk, 2 ranger build (Level 25).... lots of fun.

Sneak Attack atm is 19d6, with celestia in the offhand.

[Ilindith]

Good DPS boost now by slotting prowess focus and combat archery.

I can deal with the aggro too with the shuricannon but especially in FoT people standing around you might die if you have the aggro of the T1. And in that raid you can grad the aggro easily from melee tanks when you can do ranged damage when the T1 is in the air while the melee tank can not. And in some quests you don't want to do AOE damage so it is always good to have an alternative.

I find AC to be quite useful, even on EE. And it is another chance of damage reduction. The shuricannon is more built for defense and far ranged damage while your build is more centered on (extended) sneak attack range and burst damage.
Still i think you might be better off with a lower WIS in favor of a higher DEX for more constant damage since every two points of DEX give you +1 damage and a 4% chance to throw another shuriken all the time. But if you want to go for all burst damage favoring WIS is the way to go.

Also i find the Black Dragonscale to be not the best choice since as far as i know the +2 damage bonus for throwing does not stack with the +4 damage from the planar focus set since both are artifact bonuses. And the Haste Guard is worthless since you have Permahaste. In your case i guess you want the +15% armor piercing for Sneak attacks but in that case the fully upgraded Rebellion gives you even +20% and a red slot to make your devotion SP better - with a loss of AOE and DPS of course.

It is a bit hard to track and comment your build since you are changing it so often.

The dodge/reflex from haste guard stacks with haste/blinding speed.

The dodge/reflex from haste guard stacks with haste/blinding speed.

True but that is really a minor and unreliable bonus and i bet it is not intended and will be fixed someday. Even dodge and reflex from Haste Armor stack with both of them. If you really want that you can get a Haste clicky or pot and have it more reliable. I wouldn't craft a Black Dragon armor for it.

My shuricannon build reaches the cap of 28 points of dodge without the haste bonus and from the looks of it this build does too so if that's the case only the +1 reflex bonus is relevant at all.

[Silverleafeon]

+1

[str8nger]

how do you get combat archery without point blank shot? I am sure I am just missing something....I dont see where that is an auto grant feat, forgive me if it is obvious

[Ilindith]

It is a bit hard to track and comment your build since you are changing it so often.

I'm getting feedback from other places, and changing things. Builds evolve and stuff.

[unbongwah]

how do you get combat archery without point blank shot?

I'm guessing OP took PBS @ lvl 1 and forgot to list it.

[Ilindith]

Since there was a debate on DEX vs WIS on another forum where I posted it, I made a script to calculate shots over a minute with different stat splits.

Results with my current stats (48 DEX/40 WIS), 60sec period, 100 tests.

• Wind Stance : 301 shots
• Water Stance : 299 shots
• Wind/Water Stance : 303 shots

Results with +6 DEX/-6 WIS (All levels transfered to DEX and also 2 build points), 60sec period, 100 tests.

• Wind Stance : 305 shots
• Water Stance : 302 shots
• Wind/Water Stance : 307 shots
