    @the truth,

    Most of the cooler mod links in the page are broken. :cry:

    EDIT:That druidic sorcy is just awesome! He looks pretty overpowerful! Can wear robes/armors at the same time, gets bonus spells, and has pretty powerful, uber, cool beyond words new HLAs to boot!

    Hey Tal, i clicked on the link you gave but it's not working! Is that just because my computer is a piece of sh!t or is there something else?

    By the way, i want to play a kensai/thief, is 13th level the best time to dual?

    Uber classes: Sorcerer, Monk, Swashbuckler. In that order. No mods counting. Sorcerer for being the best spellslinger in the game; Monk, for having the best weapon in the game, highest (except Viconia, maybe) magic resisitance and some of the best abilities; Swashbuckler for the highest AC combined with the more important thieves' abilities (detect, disarm and unlock). Anyone cares to debate?

    Yes that's true Silver ... but the only reason i enjoy playing a thief is because of the backstab! Now, if the Assassin had the same fighting prowess as the Swashbuckler ... THEN we'd have an unstoppable character! :D

    Yes, with Use any İtem they may wear armor, do anything with scrolls&wands, and with kai+assasination and many attacks with dual-wielding+imp. haste capable of doing insane amount of damage. Add most cheesy trap HLAs and all, and you have a pretty decent char. :thumb:

    Indeed, with dual-wielding, true Grandmastery (fixed) a high enough fighter lvl(it adds bonus half attacks) and improved haste, one can have up to 9attacks/round, which makes GWW obsolete. Use Critical Hit, Smite, or even better:Assasination!

    UGH 9 times backstab:the very idea makes my head spin. Add that you have kai activated. How much damage can you deal in one round?

    Fighter/thieve MCs can do this, though they don't have kai.

    Ummm. Actually this should give me 10 attacks. Which totally matches GWW. and I think it should last longer.

    WHO NEEDS KAI? Gah...its only for 10 seconds anyway...that's like a round and a half. And you do realise that Kai would on average, add a whole 3 points of damage (or thereabouts) assuming you are using a longsword... :rolleyes:

    I hate Kai fanboyism. :p

    Righteous Magic is SO much better... :D :D :D

    Is Kai really worth it, cause it doesnt really last long eh. i guess a F/T sounds powerful enough. What do you think's better, a F/T or K/T?

    Unless you use it to backstab, when the numbers begin to look a whole lot deadlier... :eek:

    K/T is better, when you consider HLAs (specifically, UAI) basically negate the disadvantages of the Kensai class. I think that K/T is the only dual that really stacks up in terms of power with equivalent multiclasses, come ToB. Additionally, some deranged individuals have been known to embark upon dualling a K/T at level 21, so they can get GWW as well as Thief HLAs. Not for everyone, but a worthwhile footnote.

    For anyone who's not sure about dual-classing, or who struggles to keep kensai alive, then F/T is easier to use, sure. But once you've got the hang of kai backstabs and keeping out of harm's way until the right moment, the K/T rules the school.
