Been testing in the PGCC but unsure how it will work out in the server. Two options: Ranger 11/ SD 19 or Rogue 11 / SD19.
SD 19 brings an endgame Shade of level 29. This will help me in my - primarily - solo runs across the isle. I have trouble finding a group and when I do I end up having to log out before the hunt begins.
Ranger brings AB up, affords me medium armor and shields and dual wield for free. Rogue gains me 6d6 sneak attack, more skills but a much lower AB. Strength build adds damage, dex build adds AC. No idea which way I should build.
Bear in mind, I don't do three classes. I've built four full class rangers, the fourth of which is better than the first three due to Arelith changes to the class. I've built a Kensai (when it was still available) fighter/ WM that was one of my favorites. A pure barbarian that I loved playing for his lowered intelligence and incredible damage and a current character that will end up 10 fighter / 20 Earthkin Defender. Three class characters, to me, are characters with a singular focus in PvP. I'm looking for that SD build that can be effective in group PvP and just as effective on solo missions across the isle without relying on a third class.
Prestige classes add to a character's base without denying the base. A third class adds only skills and abilities that the initial class would never have. This feels like the worst meta gaming you can do.
