Can anyone suggest a build for an elf fighter with a level 30 cap? All fighter or mixture of other classes would be appreciated.

Many thanks!

How about a Ranger 25/Fighter 4/SD 1? Go Str-based, get Dev. Crit., and then when you come out of the shadows, it's BAM!!! - you're dead.

You would have to make sure to take your 4th lvl of Fighter on a level on which you would normally get a feat in order to get Epic Weapon Spec. Since you need Epic Weapon Focus first, pick that up at lvl 21, and then take your 4th lvl of Fighter at lvl 24 and pick up Weapon Spec as the regular feat and Epic Weapon Spec as the Fighter bonus feat.

Alternatively, you could do a Fighter 4/Cleric 18/CoT 8 if you wanted a more powerful caster, but then you lose the Uber-l33t ability to Shadowdance your opponents (ya gotta have HIPS).

As for weapons, I'd probably either wield a Scimmy and a Shield, or dual-wield Kukris, whichever you prefer. Note that if you choose the dual-wield route you will want a decent amount of Dex, because you will lose the Ranger's dual-wield feats if you wear anything other than robes or light armor. Try this:
