I will post a lvl 60 screenie in the morning, but she has mid 120's ac. 85 ab and saves in the low 60's. Couple that with 40% phys immune from gear (medium armor etc) 7 attacks a round with a 11-20 x3 crit range and no wm requried, and over 1000 hit points it seems to me that it can be fun. I think the feats are obvious but flexable. ========================== expertise luck of heros exotic weap prof power attack cleave great cleave extend spell great str 1-6 Improved expertise Improved critical attack katana overwhelming critical devestating critical epic reflex bane of enemies epic fort weap focus katana epic wf epic prow armor skin legendary weap focus katana legendary luck think that was all of em (going by memory sorry didn't write any of it down) used fallen angel for the +5 wis... the starting stats I changed em a bit from my screenie when I tested it... (lowered con from test area due to bonus from ranger and raised str) as I said i will post a screenie of final tommorow.. to tired to fire game back up now) Str 17 dex 14 con 10 Int 12 wis 15 (20) chr 08 (10) at 60 my stats with +12 gears are Str 60 dex 26 con 28 int 26 wis 32 chr 22 Pretty sure saves were 65 59 63 (reflex could be better if I swap toughness etc) only real drawback besides no dexer ac, is that you need to wear an item that gives ambidex and 2 weap fighting since you lose your ranger wielding benefits due to med armor. (hopefully we will get some str ranger medium armors with the feats built in soon ) at level 60 I had 30 Tumble and hide listen animal empathy discipline concentration, parry all maxed. level progression should be obvious... 15 ranger 1 bard 15 rdd 8 ranger 1 bard... taking tumble dumps at level 16 and 40 (and umd if you want it) 15 rdd to get 100 fire and the extra 1 ac. Seems fun so far, did some desert testing, will do some more runs tommorow and report when I post the level 60 screenie.... comments?concerns? questions?

Unless I missed something, this build will not qualify for the "Rangers'" called shot (requires 35 ranger levels). If LL are counted towards the 35 ranger level requirement, the DC would be poor since it is (ranger level - 3 + (windom modifier / 8)) -- (43 - 3 + (11 / 8)) => 41 DC.

just realized called shot is stupid anyway since I have dev crit... *big duhs at star* but I did drop toughness and toss in imporved expertise so you can get that ac 130+ once again dual wielding with a str build.
Just tested in lolth area, and was really good... gonna try and hop on a hell run and will post the 'real' results.

I reincaranted her and boosted wis +2 was a mistake... (had to get expertise was just fooling around) so stick with posted #'s for 60 str at end but the rest looks like this... desert and lolth was a joke... gonna try a hell run tonight with it.

Star soo stupid... star use medium armor when she needs light armor for wis bonus... silly silly star. Put on light armor and even with the recent nerf to offhand ac, she has 125 ac and 135 with expertise. good times

been thinking for best overall ranger abilities I might wanna have it 25 ranger 2 bard 13 rdd and lose +2 str. What do you think? Was actually going to suggest this as 2 str isn't that big a deal, and you'll gain Evasion from 25 ranger which is always handy.

honestly I haven't missed the evasion at all. (though this toon does not care to go to beholders or the ancient maze much lol) but is a very viable (and most builders would probably say critical) option. Got her phleg tagged, still the most fun I have had with a toon here yet.

What portrait pack are you using Star ?, I presume most will just see the default picture when they see your characters ingame because they lack this portrait pack.

Just curious how critical you find expertiese and improved expertiese for this build
Juggling feats and levels, debating dropping RDD as low as 12 levels, think I'm looking at 128 AC with 40 craft weapon in UR gear

Do you think you could find a way to use Treant for this as it gives +5 wis along with some con and STR.

But if 128 works fo ryou (130 with girding) then you can do without.
