Hello everyone, I have been thinking of rolling a sun elf arty. Some kind of dps-dc variety. But I haven't rolled an arty before, I'm kinda noob about them. I need some build and gear suggestions. I have at least one past life from all the classes but arty (yes last life before completionist!) and my tomes are like 4,4,5,5,4,4 in order to stats on character sheet (con and int are 5)
Sun elf, because max int and AA tree. Low self-heal but I think advantages worth that.
I have Toven's Hammer that I saved for that life and a needle. But for low levels I'm pretty sure I dont have much.
And I'm thinking of splashing 2 monk levels, I need suggestions about how I should do my build. Also gear suggestions would help. Thank you.

If you are after completionist, you would be far better served getting a warforged artificer life. As far as the Iconic pastlives go, sun elf is pretty much the lamest option.

No they're really not.

If you splash 2 monk levels, you're restricting yourself to 2 level 6 spells. 
Tactical detonation and Blade barrier would be the only 2 spells you really want DC's for, but honestly, you won't reach sufficient DC's for them to matter in EE.

IMO bladeforged 8arti/6ranger/6rogue is a better build.
Int for damage.
Access to AA (since you want it)
Reconstruct.
Sneak attack.
Evasion.

Re: Munk
What about 6ftr instead of ranger for t5 kensei (crit threat)?

Aa isnt bad on xbow but ive had a lot of trouble maxing it since its so easy to reload when you use a slayer arrow or what have you. Also, does slayer hit all the bolts or just 1? Missing out o sniper shot would suck too, since thats beast.
