Why focus in a weapon that can be used with weapon finesse when you are not even taking it?

Your AB is really too low in most cases. Decent saves though, and it should have okay damage output in the end, buffed that is. Seems an okay build though, if you could get decent AB in it.

I run the Pre-Epic Builders guild. Join and share your experience. The format was messy, please make it better next time. You are missing Weapon Finesse and you pump up DEX, what's the point? Go with STR.


Cheers,
