Intro:


After playing with the new and much improved Whirlwind Attack I wanted to make a fun SWF build that would be nice for leveling to 1-30. Having usually done THF Paladins many times, this build was a welcome change for me and really gets the best of both worlds of high single target DPS and much needed AoE with WWA. WWA seems to really synergize with the SWF style the best because it only cares about your main hand and THF already has Strikethough.

I experimented with Sacred Fist which gets some extra WWA's which is nice, but honestly it is more of a gimmick. That class is just really bad and lacks so many nice things a classic Pally gets (where is Holy Retribution?!) so we are going a classic Pally KOTC here. This build is quite flexible and can be tweaked a lot , feel free to experiment.

We go Longswords which have some quite powerful and easy to get named options for newer players. We even get a "free" Knight's Training with our KOTC enhancement to further boost our swords. We specifically want the Night Forge Avenger Blade (https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Nightforge_Avenger_Blade) at level 8 and at 20 the Oathblade (https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Oathblade). Another route to go would be forgo Longswords and go Daggers with Vistani Knife Fighter. Both are viable and YMMV, but this is certainly a less new player friendly option. If you are interested in this option, I have a build (https://forums.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/535162-Holy-Vistani-Blender-a-max-DPS-SWF-Knife-Paladin) for that as well.

We are going the Human race because we really need the extra feat cause WWA is expensive (but much less so now with the buffs to it!).

Tomes aren't needed here as we start with a 14 DEX (only 13 is needed for dodge though, but we might as well take 14) to qualify for dodge, but if you have a DEX tome feel free to drop DEX as low as you can and add it to CON or CHA instead.

I can't comment on how it performs at the very end game, but for 1-30 this should be quite fun and powerful build. I would be very curious on how it preforms at endgame legendary levels, something I haven't touched yet. I'm sure a pure Paladin would be better for endgame raiding, but slower for leveling, lacking room for WWA and just being a totally different build entirely.

Build name immediately reminds me of this classic khopesh Tempest build: Divine Cuisinart () https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/465697-The-Divine-Cuisinart-A-dual-khopesh-wielding-pure-tempest-ranger-in-divine-crusader) (and similar builds it inspired)


We go Longswords which have some quite powerful and easy to get named options for newer players...

...maybe add it to STR for a nice max 18 starting STR...
I don't know favored weapons or monks as well as I might - can't get centered with Longswords as favored weapons for Cha to damage?

o https://ddowiki.com/page/Sacred_Fist#Level_6

Since you're not using Trip, I'd think that'd be better than Str for a Pali.

I think you are a bit confused here. We aren't a Sacred Fist here, but are a classic KOTC Paladin and we don't care about being centered. This build is going STR for max DPS and it will benefit Stunning Blow which we take later and also Improved Trip which we pick up in our FOTW destiny.

Sacred Fist just lacks many things and leveling to 6 is a slog as a CHA based build . This build is about going out of the gates swinging hard and is much more straight forward to level.

Guilty as charged! :o:rolleyes:

Well, you could go PDK for Cha to damage, they can use Longswords, and get that nifty Cha-based boost to DC's, all for only 3 AP into Racial. AND are "human" for the extra Feat you're looking for. (The Human Action boost is dealer's choice - use the spellpower for healing, whatever works).

And they jump right past 6, so Cha to damage from the start. Win. :cool:

That is definitely a solid variant if you wanna go PDK. I don't currently own PDK and I am using this build for 1-30 and grabbing racial PL's so it's a bit out of the scope for me now. I might give that a try with PDK later at some point when I pick that up though.

You're welcome. Honestly after taking a bit of a break from this game I was surprised with the WWA changes. That feat was so bad for many years and only worth taking on monks. It really is fun and works very well with SWF now!

If you play it I would be curious about your experience with it.

Well, from my own experience, whirlwind has been a pleasant surprise on my THF DB Paladin. I never used it before they fixed it and loosened up the feat reqs, but yes, it has definitely been a major surprise :)

Oh, question that just came to my mind - have you noticed if the whirlwind procs on Tier 4 of Fury actually work with WW? I am having trouble telling. :-/

We want 4 fighter as getting WWA is a very expensive feat (fortunately less so now with Spring Attack not being needed!)
Also dropped the Combat Expertise requirement, so WWA went from a 5-feat tax to a 3-feat one, plus you can dump-stat INT.

Totally forgot about CE for some reason... just a great change for WWA all around

Now for a progress report for this build. I hit level 10 and leveling has been a joy. We do lag a bit behind THF builds at least pre level 9 (fortunately WWA and our other 2 cleaves are a huge boon). However, at level 9 we get a huge boost of power because we get our Improved Crit and Knight's Training so we can really take advantage of our Night Forge blades now. I am cutting through mobs like butter and it's glorious.

Before level 9 I just used crafted a couple different versions of Good damage Long Swords with Bludgeoning damage with acid slotted at their respective levels. I'm not sure if there are any better options? Possibly a Vorpal Long Sword if you are lucky enough to have that.

For new players I believe the Nicked Longsword (https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Nicked_Longsword) would be a great option for the early levels.

Did some slight tweaking to the build, mainly just changed a couple of feats in Epics and some small changes with the Enhancements.

Now for another progress report for the build. I hit level 12 (been soloing R1 1-12) and am absolutely destroying stuff since I got GSWF and tier 5 Paladin goodness. Single target DPS is really good and AoE remains great with the WWA and Cleaves of course.

I'm really enjoying the build so far.

So, unfortunately after testing this out on my character after I hit level 32, I can confirm that the whirlwind proc does NOT work with Whirlwind itself. It works fine with improved trip.

Hopefully they can get this fixed or someone can let us know WHY it doesn't work. :(


EDIT: Forgot to mention, I have been playing with this build for a couple of days now using a 2 hander and some minor changes, but it's GREAT. I am starting to like it a lot more than Divine Crusader / Fate Singer / Unyielding. It takes a bit of getting used to mixing adrenaline in with attacks IMO but the survivability + the more consistent damage makes it not as necessary to have to rely upon Fate for CCing while soloing reaper. Heck, with sanctified fervor + adrenaline + divine might + divine favor + full stack of ascendency, I am seeing smite hit 20k, :D

Something else to play with and i like the idea of a PDK variant as well

glassesjr

Just another update, I am almost level 20 with the build. I have changed the build a bit in the initial post based on my leveling experience. I think I didn't take in account how annoying it is not having wait till level 19 to get Holy Sword on my 15/4/1 split. While my DPS hasn't been bad at all, definitely going through Sharn for example at 15+ without it sucked a bit cause of HP bloat. I think going 18/2 will be much smoother to level and you will gain another KOTC core which obviously will help with even more DPS and another Sacred Defender core which is nice too. You will lose a cleave, but meh, the EK cleave is on a 12 second cooldown anyway and doesn't attack 360 degrees.

I believe the VNF build (https://forums.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/535162-Holy-Vistani-Blender-a-max-DPS-SWF-Knife-Paladin) would be better to use for racials because you get your crit damage and threat range at 12 with VNF so it won't run into that Holy Sword problem and can play a lot with multi class splits. I will have to compare leveling speeds, but on paper it should level a lot faster and probably will be the build I stick with, for racials at least.

I also edited my second build in this thread and made a 18/2 PDK CHA based variant which could be an interesting build.

If you take a look at the Lam patch notes, it will be fixed in update 57. :D


And yes, thanks again for posting it.

Edit: Now that they have fixed it, I can say that this build is just amazing. I may try it again with SWF or some other approach, but it works amazingly well with a 2 hander.

Here's some other stuff I might throw in for good measure:

- I personally prefer going with a strength build on this one since you benefit from primal scream's strength bonus more. I also found it more difficult to meet the tactical dc's for sunder and trip when using a charisma build.

- When you have more DP, I really recommend getting "Shadow upon you" from the exalted angel tree. It gives Turn Undead some great late game usefulness since it works on everything (as far as I can tell, nothing is immune to it). It's a pretty nice debuff IMHO.

- I've found Feydark Illusionist can provide some significant survivability boosts for this build with its blur enhancement. Grab an epic Sapphire Studded Buckle from "Kinda A Big Deal" to give yourself a great shield clicky to enjoy the bonus PRR.

- Sonic spell power can really make Primal Scream into a powerful trash clearing / AOE attack. My personal preference is to get more sonic spell power from a Legendary Salt Pearl Ring.

Sorry, bit of a new player here, but do you change any of the feats or Enhancements when you use a 2-Hander?

I had no idea that SWF meant you couldn't use a shield, so it seems to me that if you get nothing in that off-hand, wouldn't TWF + a 2H be a better option?

Also, what kind of gear should I be using here? Normal Paladin build?

Thanks :)

This is an example build (I'm using my main for this, so keep in mind he has had a bit of work put into him; this is definitely only possible with time and ddo point investments. I don't think you need to follow this to a T though to realize most of the benefits.)

Also, I prefer end game to 1-20, so I have been focusing on epic reincarnations and have more DP than normal, so you may not have as much flexibility with your epic destinies:

I also haven't tried this build out with TWF, so I can't really comment on how that would play out. My suspicion is that if you were to go with TWF, you probably would want to use Quick Cutter instead of Adrenaline, but someone else here may be able to weigh in on that.

For gear, normal Paladin oriented gear is a pretty safe bet from what I have found. I've been doing well with combining the set items from dread and salt marsh. If you don't have those expansions, I may be able to offer suggestions. To ME the expansions are worth it though. I just wish Dread's music was less monotonous.... ;)

Hopefully this answered your questions, let me know if you have any others. I play on Khyber, so if you want, DM me in game if you play on that server as well. Last but not least I'm also on the same username on Reddit (Dragnilar) in case you want to hit me up on there.
