(Was supposed to be titled BUILDS THAT DID and DID NOT WORK OUT FOR ME)

(note: only the WIZ/MNK and DRU/ROG have past lives, and the DRU/ROG is the only completionist.)

18 WIZ/2 MNK PM/EK (Half-Elf) -- DID. Some would say no, especially in groups of hardcore completionists, where my kill count stays in the single digits. BUT I DON'T DIE. This cloth wearing build can solo low reapers and has a PRR MRR of 180/50. Super fun to play. 1700HP.
18 WRK/2 MNK ES (Bladeforged) -- DID NOT. Its neat to see a monk with AoE supplemental damage, but in the end, my DPS is poor all around. PRR in the low 200s--1200HP.
20 WIZ (Shadar-Kai) -- DID. While the chain isn't nearly as devastating as a sneak attack chain, the full spellsword die and spellpower of 590 makes the chain attacks incredibly potent in large groups. A very fun SWF build with sickle, swords to plowshares and IC;slashing. Offhand versatility REALLY makes the Death Aura of this build SHINE, even in mid tier reaper content.
20 WIZ (Razorclaw Shifter) -- DID. Dude. Just dude. This was an attempt to make my 18 WIZ/2 MNK in a better form, and boy did it deliver! Full EK tree + 4 ranks of PM -- HE IS A MELEE MONSTER. PRR/MRR 202/100. Would recommend. Best handwrap combatant I have ever made.
20 WRK (Razorclaw Shifter) -- DID(?) Hmm. Melee crits up to 1.1k damage, and aoe damage totaling low to mid 1ks, PRR 186 1.4khp and up to 2k temporary hp. Very survivable but when running reapers with veterans, only has a handful of kills usually.
20 FVs (Dragonborn) -- DID!. Straight up NUKER. 0sp searing light can crit for up to 9k. Nevermind the two breath weapon attacks, the 0sp one doing 6-7k AoE and the Draconic Incarnation critting in the low 20k range. Has ruin and greater ruin to SMOKE those stubborn targets.1.4k hp 220PRR/100MRR
18 WZ/2 DRU (Sun Elf) -- DID NOT. Not a surprising answer. Just wanted to make a wolf that constantly breathed fire in a cone. Worked great visually. DPS is meh. She's a party favor.
20 DRU (Shadar-Kai) -- DID NOT. Chainwolf looks cool, but that's it. Nothing to write home about.
18/2 DRU/ROG (Human) -- DID. My only completionist and trap specialist. ALL trap skills in upper 110s or lower 120s. I know, overkill. For now. Great direct damage--improved evasion and epic reflexes. Saves in the upper 80s. 950HP. A very fun, utilitarian build. PRR 140 or so MRR 50.

I'm still playing mine. 716 Acid Spellpower, 710 Negative Spellpower, 534 Force Spellpower, and 519 Spellpower in all the rest of the Elements.

Pretty happy with the damage I do as well as the defenses - 216 PRR, 107 MRR.

The 112 Negative healing amp is a bit weak, though.

Overall, I'm quite happy with it.

Sounds interesting. Is it wiz 18/2monk or 20 wiz? Handwraps EK undead rager with acid specs?

20 Wiz EK/PM Razorclaw with Handwraps of the Hound.

I want a pair of those for my Razorclaw. For now, I'm using Legendary Crocodile Maw.
