12 Paladin/6 Ranger/2 Monk -insert catchy name here-

[Olath_Senger]

Hey everyone!

I've been levelling a 12 Paladin/6 Ranger 2 Monk build since last Christmas. It was planned not so much as an endgame build but more as a levelling build. My goals with this are DPS and a decent AC while leveling. Here's the original build I had planned for it:

I'm currently at level 13 and this build is tons of fun. I do pretty good damage (using rapiers I deal 25 - 35 on a normal hit, 60 - 70 on criticals), evasion works almost without fail, AC is in the high 30s. Self-buffed I get 31 STR, 26 DEX, 21 CON, 20 Cha and 18 Wis. My HP is 248 with just a CON ship buff. I'm usually main DPS for quests, including raids. My saves are (buffed) 24 Fortitude, 26 Reflex, 19 Will.

Now, that's my first life. I'm planning on TRing as soon as I can after I hit 20 to a Human version of this build. Everything will be exactly the same, only I will take Toughness at level 1 and Khopesh proficiency at level 9, and of course switch Weapon Focus and Improved Crit to Slashing. Stat distribution will be 16 STR, 16 DEX, 14 CON, 12 WIS and 12 CHA.

As I said, I'm very happy with how this build performs. So far it's been the most fun I've had with a toon. Comments and things to fix for my next life will be very much appreciated; improvements are always good :D.

one thing i noticed right away: you took FE: Evil Outsider @ lvl1, but took FE: Undead @ lvl5.

IMO this should be reversed. you encounter ALOT of undead at low levels, starting in the Korthos kiddie pool all the way on up to Necro4

EOs are present at low levels as well, but not until around level 4. (Depths in house D have some Hellhounds).

so first thing i would d is take FE: Undead @ 1 and FE: EO @ 5

Is what I named my 12 pali/ 6 ranger/ 2 monk on cannith thats been capped for awhile now. Been in TR mode on other toons but hope to finish gearing her out soon should be able to hit around 98 AC or so eventually atm with no decent AC gear she can hit 74 AC iirc and has top notch saves average around 40'ish atm iirc with some excellent threat increase as shes a D.o.S. pali, after U 11 and the improvements with Defender of Syberis she should be even better so Im pumped about that. Good luck with yours :D

[Asmodeus451]

IMO Iron Will is a waste of a Feat. Will Saves at endgame are trivialized by several common buffs.

take another Toughness instead. more HP is never a bad thing.

[jandhaer]

oops didnt actually look at your build itself hehe
ok now that i have

Tips:: Get rid of Iron will and take another toughness as +2 to will saves on a toon that will have a good will save ( my version is showing a 36 on myddo and im not wearing a saves items so could be 41 easily enough)

Weapon focus piercing I think again I would trade for another toughness +1 to hit is meh

[Olath_Senger]

Oh wow, how did I not catch that? I was supposed to have GTWF in place of Iron Will. I'll change it later, don't currently have access to a computer. Thanks for pointing that out, guys.
