Comfortably
04-21-2009, 04:12 PM
This of all the TWF builds has been my favorite so far, I give some of the credit to Dempsey for he came up with an idea for a 14paladin/2monk build, this build is somewhat based off of that.
My first toon for DDO was a halfling pally with 2 lvls of rogue for evasion that was dex based and used rapiers, so it's kinda cool to look back now as a reroll and make him better.
This build is an all out a DPS machine, although he will tear things up in all of the content he will face thus far, I really think that this build, and paladins in general will really get a boost next mod with the Knight of the Chalice AP line and the capstone.
Race: Dwarf: Reasons: I really find dwarfs to be a very well balanced race for just about any class. Bonus to saves vs. spells(+5) and a +4 to balance and the +4 to con over another race, another biggie is the Dwarven Axes for free.
Starting / Ending stats
Str: 16 / 28 =16 base+4 stat increases+2 tome +6 item. (+6 more double madstone and a rage pot if you wanted)
Dex: 15 / 22 =15 base+5item(Spectral gloves)+2 tome(at lvl5 before taking ITWF at level6)
Con: 14 / 22-24 ish =14 base+2tome+6item (I say 22-24 ish because of the other possible AP lines I may want more than 16 extra hp)
Int: 8 / 10 =8base+2 tome at level 1 (QUICK BEFORE THE NERF!!) :D
Wis: 8/ 16 =8base+2tome+6item.
Cha: 14 / 24 =14base+2tome+6item+2paladin points. (I started with a 14 base for DM II)
Feats: Now because this is a TWF build, I am taking all three of those.
1: TWF
3: PA
6: ITWF
9:IC:S
12: GTWF
15: Extend, because 3:12 of Zeal is just crazy.
When cap raises at 18 I will prob take Toughness.
Skills: Well, 2 points a level aren't great, it's as much as I think you can get from this build without sacrificing anything else vital to the build.
I will have 34 skill points with the cap at 16.
I will end up puting 2 points into tumble upon creation.
20 to UMD (maxed at 9.5(cross classed))
The rest will be a mix of balance, concentration and jump.
I will be able to hit very very close to the 40 UMD I will need to use heal scrolls, I will also invest in the Silver Flame favor for those pots.
**Note**: I did use a full set of +2 tomes at level1, the only one that is vital is Int for the extra skill points.
