need help with 2wf build

[DeCourcy]

Okay, so here's what I need help with, because I am getting confused. I want to build a 2wf character, that blends dps with survivability, since I usually play solo. Is pure ranger tempest the best option? Do I mix in fighter levels for Kensai? I don't really want to do a dagger build, but if vistani is that good I would consider it. Seems like their are just so many options . . .Someone just point me in the right direction.

There are a lot of options...

"Ranger" is probably part of any good 2WF build - but whether that's just Rgr 6 or something (considerably) higher is another matter. I've had good luck w/ a variation on the pure Ranger "Divine Cuisinart" build, but can't compare it to other 2WF builds out there - but I'm sure someone will be able to.

GL!

this is an older build but i did a 12 fighter 6 ranger 2 rogue build that was effective, but that was around a year ago. was killer on trash, but on bosses pure rangers would beat me. not sure if that was gear or build though....

Pure ranger is fine as-is; there's no need to do a deep MC unless it's for a past life or you're splashing for trap skills (+30% XP when soloing is well worth the extra investment IMO). The Tempest Trapmonkey template has been around DDO longer than I have; it's a (small-i) iconic build for good reason. On the last page I posted an update designed to use the new(ish) Knights Training feat.

The Level IV spell Freedom of Movement is especially tasty, and you get that at Rgr 14, followed by your 4th class Enemy (and 2nd Lvl 4 spell, probably, CSW) at 15.

The Tempest core 18 and capstone 20 are not to be lightly dismissed either.
