Do any of you know what the average AC is of epic area mobs?
I am trying to create a soloing 27 Bard/3 Rogue build that uses PTWF with weapon finesse. When I simulate in JEGs Ive been using 45ac training dummy and have been VERY impressed by the damage. His highest buffed attack is +47 and he has expose weakness. AC is a bit low but has full umd and conceal spells to help with that as well as songs. Only thing that might be rough is DR on some enemies.

Second question, I plan to use Curse Song and Legionaires March mostly, would you recommend getting Lingering Song or Hymn of Requiem? I could also sacrifice 1 AC for Requiem just not sure how much use it gets.

You would have to drop Toughness and Steadfast Determination for Weapon Focus (dagger) and Two-Weapon Fighting.

You also need to take three levels of a class that offers at least 1d6 Sneak Attack Dice with those three levels.

Something like: Rogue 3/Warlock 17/Daggerspell Mage 10.

You also would like the Practised Invoker feat to off-set the loss of invoker level progression from those three levels of rogue 3 and the second level of daggerspell mage. Going for this build will lower your DR by three points. But you should be getting some extra damage added to your ranged touch attacks with the fourth and eight levels of the daggerspell mage PRC. The damage is of the same type as the touch attack damage.

Thus, I think you should be able to get 2 * (1d4 + 2 + 1d6) damage per blast with two lightning daggers bought from Gullykin. I could be wrong. Haven't played one.

The general rule of a thumb on this server is that getting 40+ AB at level 30 is enough for pretty much every area. You can do with less if you are popping in and out of stealth, or using touch attacks to deliver damage.

Curse Song lowers enemy AC, so it is +AB to you. Lingering Song is nice thing to have, since the mobs here have their HP bulk. Hymn of Requiem means that while you deal your sonic damage from songs, you also heal yourself. It is very nice.
