Need help with Monk/Ranger/Rogue build please!

ok.. FINALLY managed to farm the shards I was needing to make 2 Midnight Greetings. What I'm looking for is an optimal build that focuses on dual-wielding this light blade. Need specifics, skills, feats, stat placement etc... 3rd life, +6 tomes across the board.. bow will just be a fallback in case something is out of reach, and not important at all to me right now..

I know some of you LOVE to grind data on this stuff... here's your chance >_<

PS: Equipment suggestions helpful too.. THANKS!!

Um. Optimal, eh?

Not quite certain myself (not all THAT experienced and don't have Monk) but, I think you might want 5 Rogue for Knife Spec., 6 Ranger for free ITWF and Manyshot, and the remaining 9 Monk for Improved Evasion?

That means minimum 31 AP into Assassin, and then minimum 6 in Tempest and 7 in Shintao for 100% offhand attacks. Might want a bunch more in those latter two, but...

Now, I'm not sure what stance you'd prefer to run this in (doesn't look like something that'd like the extra threat generation from earth stance?) and fitting in the Master and Grandmaster forms feats could be... well... you want GTWF anyway, but is Str- or Dex-based better for this kind of thing? (And is 3rd life and +6 tome enough for Overwhelming Critical on Dex-based? Don't have the planner here...)

I'd still try to include Zen Archery just in case you have a bow target, but I suppose you could do with just shurikens... hm...

Most likely wind stance w/ sting of the ninja >_<
