[QUOTE="JiggleFloyd, post: 5333255, member: 85403"] Thanks for all the feedback, both in this forum and the Wizards form. I made some fundamental changes to the build and would like to provide a summary for anyone interested. I decided to ditch the Hybrid along with the Shadow Walk and Warlock MC. I also changed some of my core items, utilities, and APs so that I can consistently have concealment, stealth checks, and CA. Some benefits of switching from Hybrid: * Improved HP by 14 * Trained in 1 more skill * Picked up Shadow Step as an encounter power * First Strike Rogue class feature * Rogue Weapon Talent class feature Other Changes: * Items: Armor of Dark Deeds, Assassin's Cloak, and various Ki Focuses * Feats: Merciless Killer, Acolyte of the Veil, and Skill Focus (Stealth). Also switched to Bastard Sword. * Powers: Changed back to Fleeting Spirit Strike, it's just too good of an opener to pass up. Gloaming Cut at-will instead of Clever Strike. Ferret Out Frailty for Utility 6. Summary: Again open to suggestions and feedback. Adinimys, level 14 Drow, Rogue, Ghost of Eventide Build: Shadowy Rogue Rogue Tactics: Cunning Sneak Rogue: Rogue Weapon Talent Versatile Expertise: Versatile Expertise (Heavy Blade) Versatile Expertise: Versatile Expertise (Ki Focuses) Darkfire: Darkfire Charisma Background: Born Under a Bad Sign, Cormyr (General) (Born Under a Bad Sign Benefit) FINAL ABILITY SCORES Str 9, Con 11, Dex 24, Int 12, Wis 11, Cha 20.
