Wizard - Rogue Build

[Edmaniac]

My character is a Chaotic-Good Elf. Current levels are 13 Wizard and 2 Rogue. Once I hit 1750 favor, I plan on minor re-incarnating and would like to make the character fit better with my play style.

I don't like to melee. I prefer to stand back from the fight using either spells or a ranged attack. I like being able to have a summoned monster along with a hireling to solo with. I know DDO is more of a heal thyself kind of game, but I prefer letting a healer or hireling do the primary healing and only doing some of my own healing. I like being able to handle traps but am not really into sneaking around a dungeon.

Here is the build I am planning so far. I have not gotten into choosing enhancements yet. I have two feats I have not chosen yet, (level 10 and 12 - maybe use them for Necormancy or something like that).

I would appreciate any feedback on how to build this character to meet my play style. Thanks!

That's pretty late to take Insightful Reflexes, I think.

You might take a look at the Pale Trapper link in my signature for ideas, but it sounds like you prefer not using undead form so take that build as a general framework to play around with.

With lesser re-incarnate, it doesn't matter when I get the feat as long is it is by my current level, because I go thru all of the levels at once. Or am I not understanding something?

Yeah, I tried playing the Pale Trapper, but because of my style, it did not seem to work well for me.
