Invisible Blade Builds
We've had a bit of time for the dust to settle on IB after the changes and I wanted to know what kind of builds were good right now. How have your experiences been with the class?
Re: Invisible Blade Builds
I have played rogue/SD/IB, standard All-roguish class, the IB adds to the damage, and give you the extra attack per round. Thou this one is not so different from rogue SD so I deleted this character in the end.
I think what really matters is if you believe IB fits the kind of character you want to play. A ranger, swashbuckler, fighter etc can all have it, claim that they are good at making people bleed.

Re: Invisible Blade Builds
Does rogue 25/IB 5 work well?
If so, given the feat starvation would you even bother with TWF?

Re: Invisible Blade Builds
I think the biggest benefit of rogue/IB used to be the stacks would work on sneak immune creatures so rogue would have a way to do decent damage by wounding when they otherwise wouldn't. I dropped IB levels on mine when that change happened.
IMO I'm not sure there's that much point to rogue/IB now unless you like the (very situational) class abilities or the aesthetics, which is fine.

Re: Invisible Blade Builds
To be fair, I think one weapon IB rogue build works, depending on situation, might be better than dual wield
1— str rogues, people can say all they think, but a friend has str rogue/SD with large weapon, good damage
2— take advantage of parry ac or shield, 3 more feat to spare , 4 attack per round is not the end of the world, 3! Feats!

Re: Invisible Blade Builds
Dex based dual wield ranger 26 / ?? 4
Is one of the only reasonable build questions I can think of, for which the ideal solution might be IB
Wtb darts shurikens light crossbows = invisible blade weaps

Re: Invisible Blade Builds
builds that might work:
26/4 ranger/ib
fighter/ib, probably a wm version? idk
swash/ib
rogue/ib
ss/ib(??..pretty sure the cl would be eh with it)
shaman/ib melee shaman
fs/ib melee fs
^ keep in mind most of those are 4 ib though swash/fighter/rogue can probably grab 5 ib

Re: Invisible Blade Builds
Rogue is bad and so is DEX ranger
27 ranger 3 invisible blade is solid ( Idk why 4 invisible blade is being mentioned, the 4th level gives you nothing )
