Crit feat. Agreed.  The ONLY reason to not go into Warshaper if you qualify for it is because you don't want to lose a CL.  Or if you care more about classes that fit the character's personality than powergaming. They aren't RAW just cause the DMG guidelines have formulas for them.  And in the first case, I'm not sure there ARE use activated items for personal spells.  In the latter, you'd have a crossbow that can fire off a magic missile as a standard action.  Double price possibly for no body slot.  Not to mention costs if you want it unlimited times per day.  All for d4 +1 damage.  And I don't see how you're activating it and firing the xbow, if that was the intended use.  Of course, the DM has to approve any new items like these in the first place.As for my vote, I'd say the most commonplace combo is the humble 2H weapon + PA.  It's not the most powerful combo by a long shot, just the most simple and frequently seen one.  I don't even want to pretend to know the most brokenly powerful combo, so instead I'll just say my favorite.  Playing a battlefield control mage and laying down so many effects that hamper movement and lessen actions (grease, web, evard's, rock to mud, caltrops, various mists, spike growth, entangle, etc...) that even if the foes make all the saves/grapple checks/etc... they still are so slowed down they can hardly crawl 5 ft in a single round, as my party merely peppers them from range and lays down some "bleeding" spells to slowly kill them like acid fog.  Any day the enemy is in a life or death struggle just to reach me is a good day, IMO.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
