[QUOTE="daddystabz, post: 4270786, member: 54231"] What do you think of this build Zaruthstran? It gets no plate armor though and uses scimitars. "Here you go. This is how I would build it, at the moment. You don't get all the heavy armor feats and you end up wielding two scimitars. I lean toward feats that increase offense before defense and this build reflects that. To use the combo AlienFromBeyond suggests you have to invest in Dex and there are quite a few useful blade feats, so in the end I stripped out most of the heavy armor feats. The one I did leave in, is taken late in Paragon when you're more likely to find chainmail that's actually better than Hide + Dex. Race: Elf Class: Ranger (Two-Blade) Paragon Path: Pit Fighter Epic Destiny: Demigod Divine Spark (21st level) - Str and Wis, naturally.
