Good Lord Man! Nice. I wish I had that much Plat. :)

Yeah, get the potions of +3 dex/wis.

[Dimz]

Nice AC. Kindof have to knock on you about your low strength though!! Also, why did you waste 24 larges on a Min2... you would do more dps overall with lightning strike against most mobs with your strength. ;)

[smatt]

**** dude, nice......

[Zenako]

Ouch!...

at some point the mobs only gonna need twenties anyway....

But seriously that is some sweet AC to hit.

What is your Beholder level AC at? Ie with all dispellable boosts gone? (Can keep AC song, but not stuff like Barkskin or Sheild spell?)

68 standing..no buffs

[bigj1608]

Grats :D

[RATRACE931]

Very nice! first thing i thought of is that ur missing 3 AC, +2 from 46 DEX (+3 pot) and spend an AP point to get water stance (2more wisdom) 1 AC so instead of a 95 ud have a 98!! WICKED lol

[daslim1]

there is more i can do...notice i was not in stance...i like the dps more of rapiers than kamas so my shroud items are rapiers with +2 dex and +4 insight, but thinking about dual lightning strike kamas with +1 and +2 dex and +4 insight on other...and when i get the +3 dex tome will be able to hit 47 Dex...and be in stance...which would be more....chattering ring and potions more also...but that ac is never really needed...:P

Looks like 62 to me.

Still nice for those one in a million times you can pull it off.

[Zenako]

There is something giving him another 6 AC if you look between the pull down list at 95 and the Inventory screen where it reads 101. Perhaps the result of Uncanny Dodge, which might not show on the pull down? But is active based on the row of buffs.

EDITED for blindness.

[Kaldaka]

If you have maxxed out Intimidate (i.e. 50+) you would be a GOD ....



LOL :D

[daslim1]

56 intimidate with all buffs but halfling...as for dps...i simply only miss on a 1...min 2 and radience 2 rapier...so lots of sneak attack damage...and lots of bursting greater banes when necessary....but no matter what i am up against i outlast 1 on 1 sometimes 5 on 1...40 umd and carry heal scrolls...and pretty darn handy twink skills

Yeah, people just dont understand, Ac builds are marathon runners, they can outlast any other Tank. A fighter or barb are your sprinters(DPS). I too have a standing 68 AC without Chatter ring, I can take on anything any number of mobs in Vale. Just for kicks and bordom I take down the portal without killing any mobs that guard it and then loot the chest and leave.

[Varr]

Ya, but your blocking dr is only a 6..................I sure hope you have plans to improve that.

[daslim1]

when ya don't get hit ya don't take damage...only hit on 20 blocking or not

[rimble]

That's really neat. I'd probably ditch Fighter and just do 18 Rogue/2 Monk (maybe 19/1)...but that's still pretty **** neat what you got there...

[Seregon]

The OP is a guildy and great friend of mine, and having seen that build in action, he never, ever gets hit lol. One of the best tanks I know hands down.

Ok, before I call BS, I have one question. Your picture shows you centered AND dual wielding rapiers. I didnt know you could do that....

He isn't centered if you check the ! under the buffs on right side, thats the uncenter warning icon. And you don't have to be centered to get wisdom to ac bonus if thats your next question. It only prevents him from going into a Monk stance and using monk attack moves.

I KNEW he wasnt centered, he's wielding two rapiers. But then why is the +1 ac centered bonus shown in his AC breakdown popup window?

Yes, I knew you didnt have to be centered to get wisdom to ac bonus... Im not a newb :) My only question is how does he get a centered ac bonus if hes clearly not centered.

Because thats a bug they havent fixed yet.

[Coldest]

Wow.

[Strykersz]

Because thats a bug they havent fixed yet.

Working as intended(except the type of bonus is poorly named).

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

Because thats a bug they havent fixed yet.

... in this case I'd have to say... WOW. Great job Westy!! That's quite ubersome.... ;)
