20 Paladin/5 Epic(Fury of the Wild) TWF KotC

[Cashiry]

For those who were asking about the build... here ya go...Gear wise not much has changed. Still rocking the Abishi Set for the slots, Pallys as you know have a hard time slotting good ability scores. I will respec once I get my hands on a + 4 Cha Tome.

Fury of the Wild is alot of fun. The Exalted Smites/Adrenaline Combo puts up some sick numbers.

Note: This build is where I Sit with gear equipped prior to receiving any self, boat or outside buffs.

Looks good.

[maddmatt70]

Obvious question is why not overwhelming critical or something else for feats. Great charisma, force personality, extend, and to a lesser extent icrit khopesh do not add a whole lot. Second question: why 5 or 6 points into constitution for the destiny which is a sizeable dps loss instead of well something else.

Other questions regarding gear:
1st: Definitely recommend at least getting a balizarde and using in off hand with trinket focus that would mean a decent dps gain.
Second: I like the combination of Balizarde off hand and primary hand of Heavy Pick for the future. The named heavy picks are lacking but it will be just a matter of time.
Third: Obviously break up the abashi set and go with the knights loyalty set or claw set.
fourth: look to get some sneak damage item because it adds up. The seal of avithol for e.g.
5th: exceptional seeker from the adamantine cloak or from the new items this coming update.

[COLOR=#ff0000]...
Fanaticism (T2 Untielding Sentinel)--7 Fate Points
...Does twisting in Fanaticism give you more smites and if so, how many?

Does twisting in Fanaticism give you 'True Lawful' even though you aren't in unbreakable stance?

[jandhaer]

My main question is why KoTC the endgame has moved beyond devils at this point it would seem. You could go DoS for the boost to str and con that letting you redistribute those ED con points into something boosting your dps.

Depends on your definition of end game, really. The Demonweb is full of .... well, Demons. As is the raid, Caught in the Web. Goristros, Glabrezu, Render, Reavers, Dretch, Yugoloth, Draegloth, Lolth herself...

Capstone gets plenty of use as well, as there's plenty of Undead as well throughout Eveningstar, Sschindylryn and the Demonweb.

KotC is still a very narrow prestige compared to Kensai or either of the Defender PreE, but it still gets a decent amount of use.

1. Does twisting in Fanaticism give you more smites and if so, how many?

1. Fanaticism does indeed give you a bunch more smites, 6 IIRC when I was running around in US ED long before my current SD fascination.

2. No. It requires the stance, as do all the Weapon Anointments.

gear wise, things are looking good. anda LOt of time and love has been given to this character ,it seems. i respect the effort. BUT! ever thought of dropping those 3 ,somewhat not so useful feats for getting quicken, maximise and empower healing? with a torc and the appropriate heal amp you swill be a TRUE self healing melee, throgu out a LOT of tough situations, be it TWF of the occasional turlting. even with light armor,2 monk splash and TWF, a DoS pallie can absorb a LOT of damage. not the best DPS output ,but still good nonetheless. also, those choasblades woud become IMMENSELY effective on a character with a lot more heal amp.

additionally,everthoguht of tring into a cleric or FvS?with 2 more feats that epci level give ,it is feasible,easily. :)
unless of course you dont like people seeing you as ahealer/babysitter-bot.

(for the record i had a "Whim" TWF healbot,that worked jsut fine, he was FvS, then turned him into a cleric ,mainly cuz i liek aurahealing...didnt like it and now turned him into a EFFECTIVELY self healing DoS pallie,andi can say that i ma having the most fun i had in more than 18 months with him,even if totally underequipped towards the final goal.)

just thing to stir your mind :)

[Arlathen]

@OP

Love the build, everything a Fury Paladin should be. If I wasn't so enamoured with going Shadowdancer for DPS, Avoidance Defense and Evasion I'd probably look at something like this.

Have you considered Adamantine Cloak of the Wolf at all? Another stacking Seeker +5 seems a **** bit tasty, especially on those Adrenaline fuelled Exalted Smite Crits.

Maddmatt has some decent suggestions on gear. 2nd vote to a Seal of Avithoul from me.

[Tobril]

Great Charisma appears to be taken in order to qualify for DM 4.

What are you planning to take once you get the tome?


You might be able to come out ahead by breaking up the
abishai for a composite of newer/different stuff but I can
see keeping it as-is in order to work on other things first.


I like your presentation. Too many people copy/paste the
ugly planner output.

[Wipey]

You spent a LOT slotting those epic items but wouldn't getting more than human 1 heal amp make sense with chaosblades, 2 pally past lives and umd ?

Taking epic charisma for DM4 for 2 damage then con enhancements in fury instead strength for more damage and attack ?

I suppose you simply don't have spare AP points for human versatility on KOTC, do you ?

[Nodoze]

1. Fanaticism does indeed give you a bunch more smites, 6 IIRC when I was running around in US ED long before my current SD fascination.

2. No. It requires the stance, as do all the Weapon Anointments.LOL it pays to read the forums (or try things). When I read the description I figured it only gave it if you didn't have it and was doing a different stance so skipped it. That is good to know.

I suppose you simply don't have spare AP points for human versatility on KOTC, do you ?He obviously has played a lot and maybe feels that is his minimum hit point threshold. Lots of clicking to keep up buffs already but personally I would love to see how big his adrenal smites could be with max Human Damage boost & Str instead of Con !

[ThugaNug]

Im about to TR, love your build... one question being that ill be 34pt. how would you respec the stats?

[ThugaNug]

im thinking 8 int and 16 cha... with a +4 cha tome I should still be able to hit DM4, thank you for any help

[Nodoze]

You may want to look at this thread (http://forums.ddo.com/showpost.php?p=4755512&postcount=9) to see the comparison between DoS & KotC Pres.

Even if you go with KotC, especially if going Fury, I highly recommend looking at taking 'Exalted Smite 3' instead of 'Exalted Smite 4' and using those 4 AP elsewhere...

Dropping to 'Exalted Smite 3', your smites will have a 3 second cooldown instead of 2 second (but you have to pop Adrenaline between smites anyway) but otherwise you should do the same damage & crit as hard and essentially as often as, besides the cool-down, the only difference between Exalted Smite III & IV is 1 in the critical threat range & FoTW Adrenaline Overload adds +16 so the net is +17 (in addition to weapon base crit range x2 due to improved crit) and should auto-crit essentially as often;

When you are only adding 1 to the treat range a second +one is a big plus... When you are adding +16 already, 16+2=18 instead of 16+1=17 crit threat range isn't worth 4AP IMHO.

[Cashiry]

Sorry havent replied sooner to all, I have been out of town..

Al great ideas and will take them under advisement...

I will be staying KotC and not switching to DoS.. There is just way too many outsiders still at End content not to have it.

I will be breaking up the Abishi Set. But going to wait to figure out what the Lvl 25 versions of the new equipment look like when U16 goes live.. The seal of avithol will most likely find its way into the build. and the Cloak of the Wolf or the new bracers will be there as well..

Feats: I will be doing a lesser once I get the gear I'm looking for and picking up cleave/great cleave and OC, dropping FoP, GC and Extend. Just need to figure out how I'm going set the stats for the lesser once I get the gear.

As far as Fury of the Wild, I prob will put points into Str instead of Con. As far as I know Glancing Blows dont work with Khopesh's so didnt take Malicious weapons/Wild weapons... If Glancing Blows due work with khopesh's I may take those skills

Once U16 goes live and I get my hands on the gear I will update the build.

I believe you are correct that Glancing Blows do not work with Khopeshes. According to ddowiki (and consistent with what I have seen in the forums and observed) Glancing Blows (http://ddowiki.com/page/Glancing_blow) only work with THWs or with a Bastard Sword/Dwarven Axe & Shield.

I am a fan of any good Paladins (espedially Fury ones) so I look forward to your update. KoTC will have bigger Adrenaline Smites (on EOs) & 3 more smites overall so the biggest stars will be there.

Please keep a non-standard color scheme. It was so refreshing !

Few questions.

Have you considered moving your hp con op item to goggles, and having the sp item in your necklace slot? Seems like it would allow you to swap in the torc if/when you feel like it.

Do you swap the epic ring of baphomet for a sneak attack ring?

Is there a reason why you went with cormyian over mari chain? I haven't seen a reason to change on my pally.

[noneill]

How is Havenstorm doing with the new enhancement system? Did you LR him yet?

Do you think it is worth taking Heal as a skill for the spellpower now?

I am about to LR my Paladin so I can get my religious feat and am also thinking about dropping toughness.
