[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4896967, member: 71571"] Well, yeah, but, you have the only Paragon Path so far that has better than 19-20 crit that isn't Daggermaster or action point-spendy. I mean, it isn't 18-20, but second best is still second best. Epic only blows it out of the water and into omgwtfbbq country. And I'd rather having almost dagger master with a huge beatsword than daggervenger with a crappy little breadknife. Originally I concepted it with a light blade build and then I realized 'Screw that, Dex isn't -that- pivotal that it must be the highest at level 1.' Granted, it needs Demigod/Strength Boosting Epic, but that's okay, this is a twink build. Personally I'd dive into Eternal Defender... 1d12 highcrit becomes 2d6 reach 2 highcrit. Assassin's point with a vicious dagger becomes a crit for (not counting static bonuses that don't affect comparison) 108+6d12+1d10 damage... or 115-190 damage + static mods... 152.5 crit. Not bad. Let's see, 2d6 vorpal averages to... Grr... let v = 1d6 vorpal, v = 15/6 + (v+6)/6... 6v = 15 + v + 6... 5v = 21... v = 4.2 2d6 = 8.4 average... So Final Oath's crit with a large fullblade becomes 18(6)+6d12+6d6vorpal+1d10... 108+39+25.2+5.5... ....177.2 average critical. So... the crits from this Critvenger at level 29 (assuming maximum power in the attack) is higher than the crits from the daggermaster. (I'm sorry, Brutal Scoundrel won't make up for 20 points of difference here.) Wow. Average damage is also better for the avenger, because of vorpal and the larger number of dice involved. Just. Wow.
