Hunter ranger with high AC and a minionbomb
Use a bow or crossbow hunter ranger
Use the feats 'sneak of shadows,  opportunity knocks, battle caster defense'
Take the shadow assassin paragon path

The rest of the build is fairly obvious, high Dex, and stack damage increasing items, feats, powers. Bracers of archery, called shot, prime shot weapon, steady shooter, spot the weakness.

The objective is to get into melee and use your crossbow. You get +8 AC vs opportunity attacks. Your PP deals DEX damage to anyone that misses you in melee (making you a minion bomb by provoking OAs). Enemies that miss you with OAs also grant combat advantage (for when you can't get flanking). Novas can deal great damage, simply use powers that grant multiple attacks, and stack on the damage mods. You can easily bring down a same level standard, heavily damage an elite or solo.

The drawback is a very feat heavy build, which makes frost cheese harder to use, but I thought the concept and minion bomb were interesting.

Any comments or suggestions before I build?

This is not the Board you're looking for.
This is the 3.5 Optimization Board.
I think you want the 4.0 Optimization Board.
