Yes, it's quite nice. You could add some more offense IMHO, but would lose survivability (changing some twists a bit).

5FS, one thing i noticed in the enhancements is that you didn't take harpers int to hit and dmg.  Any reason for this?  I can't seem to see where INT gets used with the current AP spread.

You automatically get Int to damage in Mech cores. Int to hit vs dex to hit wasn't making a big difference last time I ran the calc. That was probably assuming mandatory dex gear from the Ravenloft era though. Should be worth it now to drop the hp or +1 enhancement in harper and take Int to hit instead.

In Sharn reaper content, I was getting grazing hits on 4s with >140 to-hit. 

I would not advise skimping on Int-to-Hit.

Thanks, I overlooked the 3rd core.  I was looking at having INT doing both hit/dmg before rank 20.  Anyway died to failed reflex saves on trap evasion.

Now I remember, with 4 arti levels, you have a 2nd level arti spell, so you can use Insightful Strikes for Int to hit and use those 2 AP for HP. Obviously if you prefer a different arti spell, you can take Int to hit in Harper instead.

I would consider skipping Improved Precise Shot. Take an extra Weapon Focus maybe.

Yes, because DPS' job is to do less damage.

IPS lost a lot of value when reaper came out. To consistently hit more than one target you have to expose yourself to attacks. And this build is a glass cannon.

So at the highest difficulty, you can't use it most of the time without becoming a soul stone, and at lower difficulty everything gets mowed down in the blink of an eye. Seems like you might as well be in AF full time. That's why I'm considering not taking IPS. I want to compare on live servers first though.
