[ladymidnyte]

Ok so i need to tr a toon of mine and was looking at this build but before i build it i wanted to see if anyone had other ideas bout this. in that regard i will tell u that i don't have Wf, H/E, H/O, monk, artificer or druid, but working on getting them. Be honest i don't care if it is bad or good criticism for that is what makes the builds good. thank you before hand.

What's your desired playstyle? Pale master CC with traps?

In skills I would add to move silently - hide you can cover with invis, but ms is needed if you ever actually plan to sneak. If you can spare the points, bluff and diplo are nice for several quest optionals. But you're mostly ok. 1st priorities are: search, dd, spot, spellcraft, concentration. 2nd: open lock (unless you can cover it all with knock), umd. 3rd: MS, balance, bluff, diplo, with enough jump to get to 10 (+30 from spell) and a single point in tumble if you desire.

Nimble fingers is a subpar feat choice. Many better options. Generally, you should be able to attain all your goals for skills without burning feats on them. And toughness is entirely optional, especially the second toughness.

Why the Great Dex and Great Con? If taking a great ability it should be Int. And forget epic reflexes. Reflexes should be fine if you take insightful reflexes. Instead of those 3 epic feats take things like Epic Spell Focus or even ruin. Even watchful eye would give you more utility.

I haven't really played a wiz since before MOTU, so don't rely too heavily on my advice. But for feats I'd go:
1 insightful reflex
2 maximize
3 empower
6 toughness or spell pen
7 sf: enchant
9 gsf: enchant
12 quicken
12 sf: necro
15 gsf: necro or spell pen
18 heighten
21 epic sf:enchant
24 gsf: necro or greater spell pen
27 epic sf:necro or epic spell pen

Probably worth consulting some of the builds out there, like the Pale Trapper.

In general, build your wiz how you want, just make sure you take insightful reflexes so that evasion works, and put points in search, spot, and dd. That's the only absolutely necessary investment for the rogue/trapper side.

yes Necro/ cc trapper if poss.
