I made a AA build that had 73ab, but is there anyway to get higher without using true strike? and whats the highest i can get a melee character without truestrike? I am looking for a build that does alot of dmg You only get +20 to ab. Your sheet may say more, but you dont actually get it.

Here is the highest i have ever seen;
Wizard 01 / Archer 10 / Arcane Archer 29

Fighter 10 / Barbarian 2 / Weapon Master 28

These are the most extremes. Keep in mind, they may use PRC feats as thats what we were using at the time.

btw, you cant have both highest damage and highest ab. The highest damage output iirc is some god awful pal/cot great smite 10 or somethin silly, with high charisma. Make a choice.

You may not be able to get the highest AB with the highest damage, but you can get high AB and high damage, and that's probably one of those WM builds. If you want a melee with high AB/dmg and decent AC it's cheesy as hell but try this, afterall cheese is gud

if you want damage grab a Red Dragon Disciple with a two handed weapon or a Fighter/Weapon Master with a scimitar, I think those are the best damage dealers. It comes down to sacrificing stats and useful stuff in favor of STR and more STR, so the AC might suffer. Still, WMs and RDDs can get pretty well balanced retaining a lot of damage.

Try a Bard 23 / Red Dragon Disciple 10 / Weapon Master 7 with as much Great Strength as possible, it deals heavy damage plus lots of criticals, it also has great Bardsong but you'll be literally begging for feats and your saves will probably suck too, can't expect a high AC either. Grab a Greatsword, the critical is still pretty nice with the Greatsword and your base damage will jump sky high, so even against critical immunes, your damage will rock.
