I am thinking about dropping his picking and trap finding to about 2.3x and 2x respectively so I can get 3x in stalking and hiding. I could switch over to sword and board but that would necessitate an even bigger hit on picking maybe even dropping it all together and just using 407 to pop (and keeping disarm skill to kill traps the old fashioned way).


ideas?

You should be able to get all traps at around 2.5x disarm. Since you'll know 407 and can wedge the enruned/mithril, the amount of picking to have is entirely up to personal preference.

Might I ask why you want to get 3x hiding though? I don't really see the point of it with ranged.

just to snipe as a change of pace while in full plate with 3x dodge still just in case. heh.

really just a change of pace. if i wasnt paranoid about losing weapons, i would swap back to Sword and Board and use my ECW falchion. /shrug

Go TWC and buy this ecw handaxe that I have no use for
