Hello! I'm looking for a nice build that could dual wield Katanas I've been looking and I couldn't really find any good ones. The build should also include devistating critical hit. *Nods* So, would any of ye know of such a build? Or perhaps could someone make one up for me?

Also, I'm looking for a nice melee build that does well in PvP...What would be even better is if I could find a Dual Wielding Katana build that does well in PvP *grins* Anyway, dev crit is always a nice thing to have in PvP, or it could be a dexer! Due to my server, it can't be a Blackguard, Assassin, Pale Master, or RDD. I've already tried the Not So Dashing Swashbuckler, the 14 fighter/ 7 wm/ 19 SD It was alright, but not enough AB to take on those dev critters with like 25 levels in Weapon Master. Help would be very appreciated!

I just realized I probably posted this in the wrong section.

44/39 1d10 +4(15-20x3)
Devastating Critical DC:39(45 with maxed STR)
AC: Naked: 26, Full Plate: 32
AC with +5 cloth/gear, and maxed DEX: 52(with base WIS)

Saves:
Fortitude: 25
Reflex: 23
Will: 18

So, essentially this build relies on WIS and DEX bonus to AC while wearing cloth armor. This ends up with slightly more AC then the full plate variety, monk speed, and we all know it's cooler to wear cloth then full plate

Let me know if I missed out anything,

Very interesting. It'll be hard to max dex and str though...Hmm..I'll try it out some time

Oh, could I switch the monk on 38 to 37 with the WM?

Oh, it's possible..don't expect maxed CON without faction gear, but with the regular lootable items on Wheel of Time, it is certainly possible Oh, with max str and a +5 Katana, what would the AB be single and dual wield? 55 Duel wield, and I believe 59 single. Just a curiosity question, but why would you take 12 levels of fighter, but not get WS/EWS?

Between Dual Wielding, Exotic Proficiency, WM requirements, and Dev Crit requirements, he just doesn't have the feat space.

(I enjoy writing parenthetically (a lot)). Would it be possible to get EWF and EWS instead of Epic Prowess and Epic Skill Focus? I built a katana dual wielder once. It was a Ranger/Rogue/Fighter split. The interesting thing was that he had more BAB than his level (he was level 12, his BAB was around 19). I don't know how that happened, but its definately a bug...

hrmm

*ponders about katanas*
