[QUOTE="nexalis, post: 6899893, member: 6855206"] Dual-wielder Rogue 1 / Ranger [Hunter] 3 with two shortswords has a sustainable DPR of 21.98000 at level 4 (using the AC assumptions from the old "King of DPR" thread). This number includes 1d6 Sneak Attack once per turn, 1d8 Colossus Slayer once per turn, and 1d6 Hunter's Mark, once per hit. I like to combine my hobby with my vocation, so I actually wrote a computer program that analyzed the over 1 million ways that the rogue and ranger classes can be combined from levels 1 through 20 to produce a dual wielding build, ranked them at each level based on DPR, and added up the rankings for all levels to come up with an overall ranking. Ranger 5 / Rogue 15 came out on top in terms of the highest sustainable DPR across all levels of play, while Rogue 1 / Ranger 5 / Rogue 14 was a close second. Of course, this is just one data point, since DPR is not the only consideration when constructing a character. The lack of Cunning Action, for instance, means that such a character is much more easily locked down in melee, which can be dangerous given his/her relatively low AC and HP. Rogue 2 / Ranger 5 / Rogue 13 may be a safer way to go, or even Rogue 3 / Ranger 5 / Rogue 12 for Fancy Footwork, since Cunning Action Disengage forces you to give up your second attack. [/QUOTE]
