The Intel Commando: Halfling TWF/Ranged DPS Endgame Build

[geoffhanna]

I am cross-posting this build both here and on DDOGamer.com because I plan to implement it in the next day or two and I would like maximum input first.

Mawry Haversack, Intel Commando
Level 28 Chaotic Good Halfling Female
(1 Rogue / 14 Ranger / 5 Wizard / 8 Epic)

This is a DPS build with four goals

• Top-shelf TWF
• As close to top-shelf ranged as remains possible
• Healing and self-sufficiency
• Won't embarrass me in the end game

Abilities       Level 1         Level 28 
Strength           10              15 
Dexterity          12              19 
Constitution       16              21 
Intelligence       18              30 
Wisdom             12              20 
Charisma            8              13

Mawry is a 36-point build with +3 tomes on all stats except Wisdom where she has a +4.

All of the level ups go into INT.

The level 28 numbers are all ungeared. Assume another 14 points of INT, and at least 10 more CON and WIS.

Hit Points:   408 
Spell Points: 939 
BAB:           16
Fortitude:     19 
Reflex:        26 
Will:          16

These totals are from Ron's Character Planner, which does not include Epic Destinies, and are also ungeared. The current version of Mawry which is STR-based but otherwise similar has 750 hit points, 1050 spell points, and saves in the 40s-50s. I expect Mawry's reflex save in this version to be in the 60s.

Mawry's AC will not be all that outstanding, nor will her PRR or MRR. On the other hand, she will have Evasion with an excellent relfex save, lots of Dodge, equipment-based miss chances like Ghostly, and always-on self buffs including Displacement.

Skills         Level 1         Level 28
Balance            3              40 
Heal               5              42 
Hide               5              41 
Jump               4              27 
Move Silently      5              39 
Search             8              44 
Spot               5              37 
Tumble             2              29 
Use Magic Device   1              35

Again, ungeared. Most of the skills above will be in the 60-70s. UMD will be 44.

Feats
Level 1 Least Dragonmark of Healing
Level 3 Completionist
Level 3 Extend Spell
Level 6 Insightful Reflexes
Level 9 Dodge

Lots of Dodge. Lots of hit and move. Lots of critical enhancers. The Ranger levels add all of the TWF feats and the best ranged feats for free.

Ron's planner doesn't yet address Epic Destinies. Mawry already has Epic Past Lives from the Martial and Arcane spheres (3% Doublestrike and +1 Weapon enchantment) and will be working on adding more. She will probably want to live in the Unyielding Sentinel tree because it makes her virtually unkillable, with twists from Shiradi and Legendary Dreadnaught.

So how did I do? Any ideas for improving the character? Have at me, I am thick-skinned and can take the criticism. More, I want to implement this in the next day or so and am anxious to incorporate any useful feedback that may accrue.
