I've been thinking precision + improved martial arts instead.  Plus the easier stat distribution means you can get + 2 wisdom.


I've been thinking about picking up improved martial arts instead of combat archery.  I'd rather stick with overwhelming critical for the spiked damage vs consistent damage.  Archery's strength is huge spiked damage.
  

So you want to know about an exploit?

For feats....how about...precision, PBS, toughness, dodge, quicken, zen archery, IC: ranged, MT, 10k stars, IPS, empower healing? If you aren't human or PDK you would have to drop one...MT maybe? .


precision -> was taken with OC
PBS -> was taken with OC
Toughnes -> ED or meh
Dodge -> Not needed with sufficient pastlives / gear, but nice for newer builds
Quicken -> guess it could have been taken
Zen Archery -> was taken with OC
IPS -> was taken with OC
Empower Healing -> Useless on a bladeforged, great on a fleshy.

So from your list of potential gains, on a non human I'd be gaining:
Toughness, Dodge, Quicken, Metamagic   with the 4 feats I've freed up by sacrificing OC.

Quicken is nice, but uneeded, there is no concentration on the slas for rejuv cucoon or reconstruct.

See where I'm going with this? 

If you can make the stats work, when comparing the options Overwhelming Critical does seem to be the best return on investment, IMO.

Yep, thanks for the details I appreciate it. OC seems like a win for advanced monkcher builds. My new (and first) monkcher is only 3rd life and doesn't have any +5 tomes (he was my 5th character). He needs all the help he can get. Toughness, dodge, quicken and empower healing will make him a lot more survivable.

Does anyone know if improved martial arts works for bows now? If it does that would be a great feat to take...another 0.5W to Pinion. Yum yum. Smiley
