With the new Kensai changes, what are the best performing X-Box builds these days.  A quick Level split is all I need.  I can figure out the rest.

I think that comparing the T5's Kensei's crit range doesn't compete with Mech's alacrity and the expanded vorpal.

Power surge doesn't make up for losing SA dice.

The Mech critical multiplier is literally twice as good for non-repeaters.

Really, for me, it's SA dice. I made a max wis thrower using Power Surge/10k with really high ranged power but that's almost pointless if it doesn't do anything with all that RP. And pretty much the best thing to do with RP right now is smear it all over a bunch of SA dice.

alacrity and sa dice beats any other tree handily for xbows.

People keep underestimating the Mech capstone. I see you're one of them.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

I see everyone is recommending at least 18 rogue.  Is this for only Great XBows or repeaters as well?

Mechanics, if they're smart, choose Great X-Bows over Repeaters.

It seems slightly unimpressive, really. Maybe I'll give it a shot on my next life and see how it goes, though.
