Dex-based

Dex build fighters use the weapon finesse feat to trade their strength to hit bonuses for dexterity to hit bonuses. These fighter types are typically two weapon fighters who use the additional dexterity to boost their armor class as they do not use shields. They take advantage of the dexterity armor class bonuses afforded by using light armor (mithral chain or the Kundarak Delving Suit). Many dex build fighters will also take either two rogue levels to gain access to the evasion feat. One of the main reasons for choosing a dex build fighter instead of a ranger (rangers have two weapon fighting feats and have the evasion feat auto-bestowed) is access to fighter feats and bonus feats.
