Alright! I bet this has been done before, but someone has to keep you builders on your toes!

Here's what I want!

Archer build! Long bow!
+5 Enviroment
High Hide/MS!
High AC! Over 60 would be nice!
Epic Dodge would also be nice, but not needed if you don't think so.
The world I play in is infested with Dev critting weapon masters with like +63 AB!
High fortitude would be nice.
Sneak Attack would be interesting, and wanted, if you can get it while still having high AB
*Sighs* Preferabley less than 13 Bard levels, and no wizard, sorc, druid, or cleric.
High AB I'd like over 60...I hear you can get AAs to have like, 70 AB
So, basically, PvP archer.

*Waits for the Monk/Bard/AA or Monk/Wiz/AA that he knows is coming, but doesn't want. *

Go 19 Rogue 2 Bard 19 Arcane Archer. Good AB, enough bonus feats for Epic Dodge and ESF: Discipline, and high sneaks. Bard/PM/AA imo; negate the need for the high fort saves against crits as well as sneak attacks.

Interesting. What about AC though? Won't a WM just dev me into moosh?

Also, do AA's get Discipline? Or Do I take like...1 Bard Pre epic, and one Epic?

AA does not get Discipline. I would suggest minimum 3 bard so you can take one for AA; one high teens/low epics for Disc dump; and one near 40 for a final dump.

19 Rogue / 2 Bard / 19 AA sounds fun.

Could you elaborate a bit more? Do I get SC? What are my starting stats?! etc...

I'd have to look into it, but yes, you get UMD, Tumble, Discipline, Hide, MS, Spellcraft, and probably others. Something like, 20 DEX, 12 CON, 14 INT at start.

Your AC will be very high, probably around 66. But you'll also have Epic Dodge. It's not made to tank STR builds. I'm not sure any AA is made to do that, save Bard AA PMs (which you can't make, sadly).

66? How much dex will I end up with? I tried testing this out, ended with 32 base dex, and with +12 dex items, and +5 armor, I ended with 57 lol Endalyor again, your job is to keep us busy or what?

Hmmm, this time I'm not up to your request, here is my sneak attack arcane archer with epic dodge, so I won't give further advice. Seems to me a Dev Crit environment screams for 10 PM levels. I'd look into a Bard/PM/AA, even though you won't get Epic Dodge.

*yawns* No need for us to get on our toes. Just get up on your own lazy feet and do a search for bard/shadowdancer/AA builds.

You get HIPS, epic dodge and even SCV if you try hard enough.
The builds that have more focus on defence, of course have lower AB (less AA lvls and less Great dex feats).

If everybody has true seeing, and it hasn't been modified on the server, forget about stealth and make a Palemaster tank or a Monk runner.
