Arti/Rogue Repeater/staff build?

I have this idea for my next life(or maybe the one after) to do a Bladeforged(with +1 heart) 6 Artificer/14 Rogue, the idea being to use heavy repeaters + runearms for ranged attacks and then switch to quarterstaves for melee. The idea being that I really enjoy builds that can switch between ranged and melee, and quarterstaves look cool. Also I need a rogue life.

Any chance this would work?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

If your heart is set on some Arty levels, I wouldn't take more than 2 and go rogue for the rest.  I understand the ranged and melee goal, but losing the runearm damage when you use a Qstaff makes taking the arty levels almost pointless or even a negative.

How about Gxb and Qstave? great crit bumps available to both from the trees.

Don't listen to Dave, he's obviously trolling you if he's suggesting you stick to a quarterstaff (pun....INTENDED!)

I have rather considerable piles of repeaters and runarms left over from several artificer lives that I'd like to use again, especially theres a particular greensteel repeater(Aspect of Radiance II) that makes enemies melt. Last time I did a similar life(6 artificer/6 rogue/8 whatever) I think I used it clear up to level 22 when I broke out the TFs.

Fewer arti levels could certainly work. I really just want a repeater/runearm build and it doesn't take much past 2 to get good results.

No, don't do it.

You need T5s in the relevant trees to make the styles worth while, you can't have both at the same time so you can't swap mid quest. Also, you won't have enough feats to sufficiently support both styles. Also also, Doing either TA or Mech without the level 18 core is silly IMO.

what 5FS said.

Paladin/ranger(5-6) levels w/ manyshot.

Pure ranger.

Barb with manyshot(1 ranger and fvs or druid level).

Swapping to bow for bursts and mainly melee rest of time.

If you don't have all the gear ever, past lives/tomes then I suggest paladin 15/5. Easiest to survive all around with least amount of resources and experience.

Ranger is the best for ranged/melee hybrid. You get all the feats for free and only need dex if you settle for scimitar instead of khopesh.
