A Looney Tunes Paladin....

[Zer0AcmE]

Just felt like posting my current build, see what people think. For the most part this is refered to as a "Batman" build throughout the forums, this is just my version of it.

Couple things of note, I don't play a lot of characters, I have been playing since day 1 of DDO and only have 2, my level 16 Paladin Acme and my current build Looney Toons. Having said that, this build will require a lot of time and effort, multiple +3 tomes, multiple green steel items and raid loot. In my opinion this is a very versatile build, the 30 Str and 30 Cha are keys (28 without +2 tomes), a strong mana pool (Entended Divine Favor, Prayer and 30 Resistances) and a UMD that can reach into the 40's. Evasion and Open Lock (On a d20 roll has the potential to bypass DC 74) from the Rogue levels are very nice bonuses to the build. This build can also server a good backup healer, having x3 LOH for 200 each is a nice bonus along with being able to cast Heal and Resurection scrolls without fail.

How do you get uncanny dodge on a paladin level..?

[Lizardgrad89]

I would say that any build with multiple +3 tomes and uber raid loot is going to be effective.

Show me a solid 28 point Pally build with no uber tomes or gear, then I'll be impressed.

Thanks for pointing that out, it's been removed, must have been a clitch in the DDOCharGen tool.

Well actually it's a pretty effective build right now with just +1 tomes and standard gear. As I stated this build is a long term process and I was just giving the example of max potential. Also, alot of people build characters with +2 stat tomes in mind for their final build, I was just trying to get the maxium I could out of the build by just using +1's and and +3's.

I knew I should have ended with..

All constructive comments welcomed....

I beg to differ...there´s way too many out there with a load of +3 Tomes, nice loot and still quite INeffective. :cool:

Please define "effective"

Does it involve falling into lava?


Lots of times?


In a row?


Cause if it does, wow I've got that effective thing going like crazy

[Dexxaan]

LOL

That would be more like Entertaining to me!
