Looking for a solid Mech build

[Maxxcore]

Plan on going rogue/artificer, but I'm unsure whether to use repeaters vs great xbows, and not sure which enhancements/feats are the best to pick. I've heard a Pally/Rogue build is best, but I really want to incorporate Artificer into the build. All feedback is great, and thanks in advance

I'm currently running a 2 arti 18 rogue ( currently only level 17 ) and think its working fantastically, helps to have harper agent so you can use int to attack instead of going more arti just to get the spell. I'll post my enhancements when I get home later.

I've done Rogue-20 (Mech)
also Pally-14-Rogue-5-Arti-1
and Arti-20 (although it was a while ago).

Rogue-20 Mech is a perfectly solid build. I had no issues with it in EEs. Pally-14 is a little less dps but a lot more crunchiness. The other 6 levels can be 5 rogue/1 arti or 6 rogue, take your pick.

Great crossbows in my experience are grand in heroic and also good in certain destinies. I found though that maintaining a blitz was much less stressful with a repeater (I used needle). For divine crusader I'd probably have stuck with the Great Xbow. For heroics a Min2 great xbow from greensteel will do you proud.

the run speed from acro is nice to have in case you need to get away from mobs that close in on you, and the attack haste boost is just awesome.
at level 20 that will be enough enhancement points to gain all drow core enhancements,and pick up versatile adept 3 (x3) and one more INT enhancement.
and at that, the acro points can mostly be redistributed for other things as you can gain attack haste boost from legendary.

Alright, thanks everyone for the help and ideas
