Had a derp moment - Now I need help with a Build

[MacRighteous]

Greetings,

So, maybe you know the deal: late night - half awake - stupefied, and on a whim you decide to do something that you haven't thought through.

Its not really a big deal - but I had this abandoned 10th level toon (Bard/Rogue) sitting on an account gathering dust and I decided to use its free heartwood+20 and LR him into a build I could use.

Goals: I'm Dual Boxing 2 toons through Demon Sands ATM, both Divines (a Pally and a Cleric) and I thought I might as well bring a pocket rogue along for the ride. My favorite specialist is a Tempest Trapper (It can trap, It can range and it can sneak in and haul my pally's stone back to the shrine) pretty much perfect for my needs, So I headed for the Hall of Hero's.

Now I'm stuck at level 2 with a 1 Rogue/ 1 Fighter and I can't take the Ranger levels - doh!!! The Heartwood rules totally slipped my mind even as I was staring at them pushing the button to proceed.

I can only advance as a Rogue, Fighter or Bard...

Anyone have any ideas to save this character? I still have the regular LR Heartwood, so my stats, feats and skills can be reset after I finish this LR.

The range ability could be dropped - I mainly want a trapper, enough DPS to either mop up after the Pally and Cleric are dead or handle itself in scouting situations (TWF preferred) and any other extra utility that can come in handy: Buffs/ Heals/CC

I don't play my toons actively together in combat when I multi-log (DDO is completely un-suited for that due to its lack of /follow and a robust targeting/ target assist system) I pike them at the entrance and run them up from shrine to shrine, one at a time, using whatever toon is best situated for the next phase of the dungeon. So Solo focused builds with survivability is optimal.

Anyway, I would appreciate any help anyone can give me - I love fun and flavor build with good functionality - unfortunately building them is not my strong point - there's a lot to consider - yo!

Thanks in advance
MacR

Tell us the stat distribution, would help.

Thanks for the fast reply Lonnbeimnech, I was following this build: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...or-new-players

But as I mentioned in the OP, I can respect after I finish the reincarnation session that I'm in now, I have a reg LR Heartwood that I could use - so if I just took the next 8 levels with the right class, at the right time then I can LR again and change the stats, skills and feats to match the new build.

I edited the OP to include the stat distribution, skills and level progression up to the point I'm stuck at (level 2) just in case somebody can figure out how to make what I have work and save the other Heartwood or doesn't want to dig through the other build thread - thanks for the suggestion Lonnbeimnech.

So - I just leveled up as a 9/1 Fighter specializing in Kensei Khopesh TWF with a Rogue splash for traps and locks ... yawn.

Maybe down the road I'll through all that XP into some other form - but for now I guess it will fill the bill for a 3rd wheel...

Many thanks to anyone who put in any time considering my problem.
