U49 AA Paladin Build Review

[majorhavoc]

Considering the upcoming U49 changes to bows I have been thinking of a good wisdom based AA build, this is primarily a support build so I wanted to toss in Rog coverage.

For your consideration, please feel free to post comments & improvements.

ALSO: Can anyone confirm that in fact Holy Sword does work as intended & will stack with everything else on this build

.AA Pal/Rng/Rog
14/4/2 Paladin/Ranger/Rogue
Lawful Good Wood Elf

Spells: divine favor and prayer are the same bonus type, prayer has the larger bonus however, so you might change out divine favor.

You are also missing righteous command (Paladin level 2 spell) which gives +1 sacred bonus per caster level to ranged power, duration is 1m per caster level, the tooltip is wrong in game. Maybe drop resist energy in Pali, and pick it up in ranger?

[Alfhild]

1) You have Weapon Focus: Pierce over Weapon Focus: Ranged; either way, you are missing Rapid Shot which in addition to the alacrity is in U49 providing Ranged Power equal to your BAB
Correction: I forgot you had 4 levels of Ranger giving you Rapid Shot
2) Inferno Shot is horrible, sad to say. Might want to invest a point into Soul Magic for the 10 Universal Spell Power
3) for Shiradi, I would substitute one point of WIS for Pin. With practice it become a great CC addition as well as adding Helpless damage which Para arrows do not.
4) For your Wood-Elf Tree I would go:
Accuracy 1; +1 DEX
Weapon Training 1
Enchantment Lore 3; Weapon Training 2; Arcanum 1
Weapon Training 3; Elven AA
Through The Branches; Weapon Training 4; Skill
This only costs 22 AP, freeing up 5 AP to be spent elsewhere.

I agree on the shots, Both Pin and Whistler are nice, picking up at least one of them would be a good idea. You have 25 points spent in Shiradi, max is 24. I would drop Audience with the Queen for starters, its too random and might do something negative, already enough random in Shiradi and that would put you back at 24 points spent.

Thank your for your suggestions, I will implement them.
