Alternative build to the Paladin Crossbow

Tired of the 14 paladin / 5 rogue / 1 artificer?

Try Rogue/Warlock/Artificer!

At least 4 Warlock, to unlock tier 4 Enlightened Spirit with +3d6 light damage boosted by spell power (easily +6d6 in heroic levels) and 20-30 temporary HP every few seconds

At least 5 Rogue, to unlock tier 5 Mechanic ranged alacrity, ranged power, etc. (same as the Paladin build)

At least 1 Artificer for the free Rapid Reload feat and xbow proficiencies (and Conjure Bolts)

Without the constraint of 14 levels in one class like in the Paladin build, you have more room to adapt the class split (only 10 levels locked for 5 rog/4 wlk/1 art) depending on your gameplay preference, the Past Life you want ...

- 6 Rogue for the core 3 which gives Int to dmg
- 10-15 Rogue for Improved Evasion
- 10-11 Artificer for more artificing (bonus feats, Armor of Speed)
- 12-14 Warlock for more warlocking (Evard's, Stoneskin, DDoor, Tenser's ...)

I don't know how viable this is in Epic, but in Heroic it has more DPS than the Paladin build.

Wartrog. Artwarg. Rogwart. Rockificer.

I like to leave out Art for the sake of Wargue-ment.

So what is the reason for the light spellpower? To burst with the warlock when not shooting the crossbow, or is their some way I'm missing to add it to your repeater damage?

The 3d6 light dmg is added to weapon.

It seems like Epoch never loses his popularity.

Yeah I realized it not long after I posted the message. So the idea is to boost your light damage instead of relying on Holy Sword for damage. I think I might try this out just for fun as I don't really enjoy a paladin and I'm curious how strong is compared to the 18 rogue/2 arti build I'm finishing up.
