help with a twf

[zeraphel]

hello everyone!

first time posting (o maybe second in like 5 years)

i need your help guys, i have a ranger 15/ fighter 4/rogue1, elven with scimitars. DEX based... and i works fine, but i know now that i dont like elves on this game XD, so im not enyoying the character.

hes based on twf (not bow) and can handle traps.



i was thinking in something i really like, and end up with:

human, 11 ranger/8 fighter/ 1 rogue, STR based on kopeshes or bastard swords

11 ranger for the 2wf feats, and tempest enhancements
8 fighter for feats and kensai enhancements
1 rogue, at lv 20 to do traps

all points on STR, high CON and INT


is this char viable? what do you think?

how critical is it that you keep rogue skills?

Are you adverse to playing a paladin?

Have a look at Noyellowbar if you want to stick with a mostly ranger build. The fighter splash can be replaced with rogue if you want trap skills.

You indicate 1 rogue at 20 for traps.

That wouldn't work.

You need to take level 1 as rogue and put points into trapping at every level to be viable.

Which you can do with 1 level of rogue.

Not if you take the one level of rogue at level 20. :P

The build you list is very viable, and should have good ranged burst DPS and good melee DPS.... but far from the best. With the latest updates ranger has largely been left wanting by swashbuckler, vanguard, paladin in general, and of course by monk splash centered Kensei before that (could do 12/6/2 [for power surge] or 8/6/6 to still get your bow skills, evasion, etc). But yes, you would likely have fun playing an 11/8/1, though you'll have a tough time maintaining rogue skills and won't have power surge or DM to raise your damage and stun DCs, no paladin for saves/holy sword, no swashbuckler for, well... swashbuckler, no monk for stance + yellowbar + shadow veil.

Is it min-maxed? No. Is it viable? Absolutely.
