Crossbow wielding vampire-enchanter of Doom!

[Esteban_Failsmore]

Got this really stupid idea- enchanter wizard that uses repeaters as main source of damage. With mandatory harper enhancements ofc. Thing is, im still can be considered a noob, i dont played this game much past level 12- i create alt characters all the time and experiment with them. Maybe im missing some key components about the build or it will suck ass later at the game, who knows?

I have several ideas in mind

Firstly, race will be drow. High int and dex is mandatory.

Stats will be- 8 str, 8 wis, 10 cha, 20 int, 12 con, 16 dex. Later i will use book to uprade dex to 19.

Classes- i want to go 18 wiz and 2 fighter, since i will be a little bit starving for feats. Start as fighter at first level, then 18 levels of wizard and then i take another fighter level and take Imp Precise Shot- BAB will be 11 at level 20.
I can also sacrifice 1 wiz level and take rogue for trapping skills but i dont think this is very good idea.

Feats-

1 (Fighter)- Proficiency with heavy repeaters, Point blank shot
2 (Wizard)- Spell Focus Enchantment
3 (Wizard)- Rapid Reload
6 (Wizard)- Greater Focus Enchantment, Rapid Shot
9 (Wizard)- Precise Shot
11 (Wizard)- Heighten
12 (Wizard)- Precision
15 (Wizard)- Spell Penetration
16(Wizard)- Extend Spell
18 (Wizard)- Greater Spell Pen
20 (Fighter)- Imp Precise Shot or Imp Critical:Ranged

All level ups goes to INT. Aligment is true neutral.

Enhancements-

Drow elf (10 points)- all cores and enchanting lore.

Archmage (24 points)-
cores- Hypnotism, Otto's Dance, Hold Person, Charm monster
tier 1- energy of a scholar 3, spell critical
tier 2- nothing

Harper Agent (14 points)

Tier 2- Magical Endurance 3
Tier 3- Strategic Combat 2, +1 int

Kensei (4 points)

Your ranged DPS will be bad without access to one of the better ranged PrEs like Mechanic. Your caster DPS won't be any better without metamagics. And if you're spending at least 21 APs into Pale Master, wraith form is much better than vampire just for Incorporealty and less light dmg vulnerability.

Origanlly i not planned to use any offensive magic at all- just crowd controls and buffs
I guess i can swap enchanting feats for maximise and empower. Probably invest in AM a bit more.
I also can take spell pen at level 6 instead of rapid shot, greater spell pen at level 15 instead of spell pen, and impoved critical ranged instead of greater spell at level 18.

In DDO, you can be "unique" or you can be effective. Pick one and stick with it.
