Repeater build?

[Kurgan224]

Hi all, coming back to DDO after a looooong time. :) Picked up Arty with some of the points from the specials that are running. I see posts referring to repeater builds, but haven't yet found an actual build. Was wondering if I could be pointed to a decent one. Also, if I wanted my arty to do traps and locks, is there a rogue splash since there are the traps that only a rogue can spot or do you give too much up to multi?

I have warforged and 32 point builds, but not really any equipment banked, so if it can solo with basic equipment in order to work up to better toys, all the better. It would also be 1st life, I never got a character to 20 when I was here. I find myself soloing a lot, so that's a pretty important requirement.

Thanks all. :)

Dubbell O'Seven in my sig is still a solid build. A pure arti does not need to focus solely on the repeater. It can, and should, also emphasize casting and survivability.

For a build that is solely concerned with repeater dps, a splash with rogue mechanic, or a rogue mechanic with an arti splash, is probably optimal these days. But I don't know anything about those so I'll leave that to others if that's what you're interested in.

Regarding traps, no rogue splash is needed. A pure arti can handle the vast majority of traps. You won't have evasion though, so it does require some Mario skills to get to those trap boxes that are on the other side of the trap. I personally found this aspect of the build fun. There are also a couple of traps where you literally have to stand in the trap to disable it, which means you won't be able to on your arti because the damage will disrupt your disabling. The only place that comes to mind with those kind of traps is Cabal for One in Gianthold.

Cool, thanks. I'll take a look at your build, as I'm not tied to repeater damage over all, it just seemed to be the most mentioned kind of build for an arty. Might wait to create him to see if any interesting rog/arty builds pop up :)

you may want to think about adding 5 levels of rogue to it.

bolo? why do you take arti so early?

wouldn't it make more sense to wait til later when you can grab ic or ips with an arti feat?

I end up with all the feats I need and I wanted to use rune arms and summon bolts as soon as possible

Bladeforgered Arty.

That one level of required paladin grants bow proficiency. You will take all the same ranged feats as an arty, but add Manyshot at some point. You can then alternate your Needle and Pinion later on. While Manyshot is on cool down you can get off 2 Endless Fuselodges during the cool down. Both work great with Fury of the Wild.

Also from BF you get the nice Repair SLA, Communion of Scribing: Spell Like Ability: Reconstruct. (Cooldown: 30/15/6 seconds. Cost: 35/30/25 SP). Communion of Scribing pairs great with a Ring of Master Artificer.

I use the Harper Enhacement tree to get INT to hit and INT to damage

I'm finishing my last ER in the Arcane sphere ATM

Couple of nice ones there. I may be trying a couple arty builds before I choose the one I like best. Thanks. :)

wow why is ur int score so low? I have a capped arti and he has a 68 int , 72 with pots. My build is close to the double o seven build , except i run in shadowdancer for evasion and int. Less dps without blitz but i prefer it hands down.
