What's your pirate name? Have you read The Shard Axe, what do you think of it? Got any build ideas for Artificers?

I've got a few Arty build ideas floating arround. Been trying to build a Repeater DPS monster for a while and will have to totally change up the build to include at least 6 levels of Artificer. I'm thinking there is 2 main choises for a Repeater focused build.

#1: Mechanical Engineer - (Warforged or Drow)
12-14 Artificer/6 Rogue/(2 fighter splash?)

12-14 Artificer - Battle Engineer I(and II later on), Greater Casting apility, Insightfull Attack(Int for Attack Bonus), and a decent pet
6 Rogue - Evasion, Mechanic I(Int for damage on Crossbows), Haste Boost
?2 Fighter Splash - 2x bonus feats

#2: Battle Sniper - (Drow, Human, or Half-Elf...maybe Halfling)
12 Ranger/6 Artificer/2 Monk

12 Ranger - lots of free combat feats, Deepwood Sniper I(extended PBS range, and DWS II later on), Favored Enemy, some slef buffs
6 Artificer - Battle Engineer I(manyshot for Xbows), some buffs, weak pet
2 Monk - Evasion, 2x Bouns Feats


Or the more conveluted one...

#3: The Sniping Battle Mechanic
6-8 Artificer/6-7 Rogue/6 Ranger

Int to Attack and Damage
Evasion
Increased PBS Range


The current Repeater Built character I've got is a level 10 Rogue, that was planning on 13 Rogue/6 Ranger/1 Fighter. I'm going to swap the 6 Ranger for 6 Artificer and see how it goes. Not sure if I'll go strait to TRing or wait to get a bit of gear first, but I'm going to go with the Drow Battle Sniper for her 2nd life.

I am building a Pure Artificer first though. Strait Warforged Caster with a splash of ranged combat, so I can get the most out of my buffs and still be helpfull with DPS.
