Build Critique, please
I need a build critique. A friend of mine created an Elemental Warslinger, and wants to know how well it would work before taking it live.

Class level substitutions are listed in the opening notes. Please, be constructive in your criticism; she's had too many personal attacks, or so she thinks.

Re: Build Critique, please
Few ideas of improment:
Pre epic, you should have 6 levels of Rogue, 8 levels of assassin, 3 levels of Elemental Archer, and 3 levels of Warsling Sniper.
Thus at level 20 you character's levels would be like: Rogue 6/Assassin 8/Elemental Archer 3/Warsling Sniper 3.
With your epic levels, you should focus on reaching Rogue 10 ASAP - and on that level take Crippling Strike instead of the Great Dexterity feat, as the next epic feat will allow you to get Epic Precision and get half of your sneak attack dice against opponents that are immune to critical hits. The downside of your build is that you will get it at level 25.
Thus, I would personally consider dropping out either Elemental Archer or Warsling Sniper just to get Epic Precision at level 21 - or go for a build such as Rogue 16/Shadowancer 3/Warslinger Sniper 6/Elemental Archer 5 even though it will deal less sneak attack damage with manyshot.

I changed the build to give it epic precision at the end. Think that'd work?

Are you dead set on the class combination ? If not, 20barb/4fighter/6warsling works extremely well. AB is a bit on the low side, but AC and damage are great (slings get the mighty property by default).

Updated version of the build.
Gave weapon finesse, pushed epic precision to 25.

Re: Build Critique, please
Personally I would switch the One Shot for one extra Great Dexterity. That way you end up with 30 dex, with the possibility of having 34 with a potion of Cat's Grace. Almost typo'd that into Cat's Grease. Another possibility would be expose weakness, since you now have weapon finesse.
