Ok so i made a level 15 bladeforged....time for my questions(no flames pls)

[Kefrem]

ok ive played both DnD and DDO(a while ago i might add on the latter). i understand how the game works and so on..but i need some advice cause this new enhancement thingy has me a little edgy as i dont know what alot of the stuff does.

Can someone give me a good starting build in that stuff so i can get back into the swing of things for when i create other toons?

Thanks either way.

Ignore the "advanced player" warnings.

You may want to hold off on rolling a BF pally; U23 will provide some major buffs (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/446140-Armor-Up-Developer-Diary-3) to them. Holy Sword is about to become one of the best DPS bonuses in DDO; Sacred & Stalwart Defender are getting their Gtr Stance bonuses overhauled so they work if you have a shield OR med or hvy armor equipped (and Addy Body meets that requirement); med/hvy armor in general are getting their defensive bonuses ramped up; and the addition of Cleave atks to the KotC tree and the removal of the GC pre-req on Overwhelming Crit makes pallies a little less feat-starved.

I call your Cetus build and raise you a SWF + Orb 15 Paladin 5 Fighter.
Cetus is fun, but no longer required in U23- Monk splash = bad and taking all those points in Kensai just to stay centered is a total waste of AP if you convert AP into feats, that's like throwing away 8 feats.

Not taking heavy armor as a Paladin now, you may as well go Swashbuckler as that will out DPS Cetus any day of the week. ( Loved Cetus build but moved on to better things )

Heavy armor will see you at 210+ PRR, 100+ MRR, you can stand in blade traps all day and take 20 damage if you roll a 1
Evasion you don't need, and monks Shadow Veil you definitely do not need

Cetus build ~ May you rest in peace :)

What if the Cetus-build was actually Erandis Vol?
I mean, they're both dead and refusing to die.

you may as well go Swashbuckler as that will out DPS Cetus any day of the week.

I'd like some evidence. I'm not denying the possibility, but I admit strict skepticism.
