    Default Eldritch Knight

    I am looking at tring to try and be a thf double strike build to maximize dps. This will be a 36 point build. Does every point spent in the Eldritch Knight tree really increase double strike by one. If so, do the abilities that state they increase double strike increase double strike doubly.

    I am thinking about going

    Dwarf
    5 Wiz 3 Rog 12 FTR

    Enancements, 18 points spent on Dwarf tree to get "Throw your weight around"
    22 Points spent in Kensai Tree to get "Weapon Group Specialization four"
    The remaining 40 spent on the Eldritch Knight tree to get at least a 40% double strike chance

    Stats would look something like (need to double check my math) to start with a +3 tome on all stats. Level Up points in Con and +3 Enhancements to Str
    Str 14
    Dex 10
    Con 18
    Int 17
    Wis 8
    Chr 6

    Other thoughts I had were to replace the fighter or rogue levels with druid levels for the natures warrior tree.

    Default You just lost your build idea

    Only the 1st, 3rd and 5th core enhancements of EK increase your doublestrike by 1%, not 1% for each point spent. With 5 wiz you're only going to get 6% doublestrike at the very most from EK, 7 if you decide to go 6 wiz. Each point spent only adds .5 spellpower, which only increases the force damage from eldritch strike/tempest, which increases with each character level rather than caster level, and any offensive spells you use, which will be weak with the lack of wiz levels you're going with.
