I'd like to know everyone's opinion on this. I'm leaning towards the extra hit points but...
HP.. 80 HP means 2 or 3 non crits and if you get critted for 100 and you have 80 HP more.. it still soaks up pretty nice where-as 1AC/AB only help mildly.. if it was just 40HP I might be different..

Hrmm, yes that is what I was thinking. Ok, how about this scenario:
42AB 31 base AC Epic Dodge 50% Concealment
vs
48AB 32 base AC Epic Dodge +80hp
?

Epic dodge and 50% concealment far outweigh 1 AC and 80 hp. _________________ Experience is the mother of good judgement; bad judgement is the father of experience.
50% less hits = 50% less need for AC/HP

But the one without concealment and +80 hp, +1 AC has plus 6 AB, which IMO, is very much!
Im wondering how you go from 42 to 48 AB on a dexer with only 1 dex difference? I mean, on the 42 ab build, you didnt take wpf/epicwf and epic prowess? Or did i miss something?

Sorry, the first build is a Ftr/Rog/SD. Second build is a Ftr/WM/SD. Both are dex based.

Also the 2nd build can use Expertise for an extra 5 AC and still have 1 AB more than the 1st build. I would had thought a lot of epic monsters have Blindfight when considering persistent worlds, reducing the effectiveness of Self Conceal 5.
