Undead Single Weapon Fighter build Help/Ideas

[IdontKare]

Hello, I am a returning player who has about 5 years into my main in this game, named Bloodybeast. Quit for some time due to boredom and other games coming out (Archeage, SWTOR, Tera Fate of Arun) and am now returning to my completionist build, 12Wiz 6Pal 2Rog. After asking around it came to my attention that Single Weapon fighting is now the best way to keep playing a melee dps. So, I have a +0 Heart and want to rebuild Bloodybeast into a Sword n Orb Build. Ill post a build idea after I finish it, for now, any suggestions?

Adding Some info for now, I have Enough mats to make a few tier 2 Thunderforged items, and at least 2 tier 3. I also have plan on using shadowscale armor (the light variant) and can grind for most other gear. Still working on a Build.

Okay, I'll sidestep the "best melee DPS" minefield for now by saying the main problem with your build is your class split is suboptimal for melee DPS these days. Paladins got a major DPS overhaul in U23, but the biggest improvement was the changes to Holy Sword, which req's pal lvl 14+ to acquire. Unfortunately, the Eldritch Knight tree is (still) pretty weak, so that's not much help either. :(

Any chance you're willing to TR into a stronger build? Or are you holding out for warlocks to come out first?

Well, if you have to use that splash, I would go with TF warhammer and Dreadnought destiny using pulverizer and haste boost, etc. (or using heavy pick if fleshy with crusader destiny)
if want to go in wraith form would need at least 21 ap on pm tree, then 26 ap on sacred defender for swift defense and greater stances would be nice, leaving 33 ap for harper tree (getting eldritch knight t5 and harper for kta is another option but would have to take less defender ap)(also i don't know if kta + divine might still stack but that is not wai).

Can also go fleshy, using wand and scroll mastery from mechanic tree (8ap) and later cocoon and pots, that way dont need to spent 21 ap on pm tree.

There are many ap options you can try mixing eldritch knight, harper, knight of the chalice, defender, etc.
Can go int based for dmg with harper tree, or go str based, even can take some cha if using divine might.
(ill probably go int based with harper and kta so can pick +6 con from defender instead str, but keeping 13 str if taking power attack )

Ah, Thx for the input, Failed to mention that im a Shadar-Kai atm and its gunna be a lesser TR. Also, not looking for an OP dps build, actually focusing more on survival via damage mitigation/avoidance, while being a melee dps because I cant stand casting and I have a ranged toon I run

Do you have Harper? That affects whether you can go the INT-to-dmg route or are stuck sticking with STR+Div Might. EDIT: also was there a particular ED you wanted to run in for an EPL or whatever.
