I will be making builds like this for some time. If you have a desire to see a specific build stat sheet, simply ask and I will, in time, go about making one.
Donations for the best items are welcome. And IF more than one person has a desire, money donated (In Game) will inlfuence such decisions.
NOTICE- This is not Gold Spamming. Any and all who send ANY ammount of gold do this by their own free will. If you DO NOT wish to, and find the entire Idea stupid, then I would ask that you say nothing at all. As well, any that have capped toons holding older and useless items that they feel may be useful to any of the listed characters below, I thank you.
This is a charity. I take all that is given, to give others a better understanding. Thankyou.

Characters:
Alpemael: Lvl 12 Micro Managed Pure Bred Trap Monkey.

Thank you.

posting a build.give it up everyone can use char generator.your time would be spent wiser if you actually lvled a toon to 20 and then telling people how great it is.

[Sandpredator]

Wouldn't it just be easier and quicker to just say "I am broke and need plat" instead of rambling on about a level 8 build??

If you need something then just ask. A lot of us vets have tons of items and plat laying around.

Edit: If you need help with the build this is the best thing for ya.

[Flasharte]

how much gold do you want to post a breakdown of a fighter/barbarian/ranger build?

Im curious how to get the most from those three classes into one build.

[Scythera]

This build was not made with character Generator. I find the generator, though helpful with actually CREATING the character, rather useless. Maybe it is simply me not able to use it well, maybe not. This character was built through personally using it, finding the kinks, and progressing. I know I am still a noob. But the simple fact that you simply bash me, when you have been playing for lord knows how long, is a fault on your behalf, not mine. If you do not have anything nice to say, please, say nothing at all.
True, it is only lvl 8, but it has taken out many at a higher lvl in PvP arenas.


As to the plat, yes, I would love as much money and items that people are willing to give. For I am sure many are getting tired of making Mules to keep items they don't quite want to just sell. I am open to all charity, but I will not beg for it. I have asked those I have grouped with that have higher toons for help, and I have received generous donations, all of which were used wisely.
If you wish to donate/give me something, I thank you.


As for the money for a build, I don't ask for money to build it, but I desire/want/need money to make it shine to its full potential. You would be surprised how much money is spent on the Reset Enhancements option. x.x
Most money that is given, will go to bettering my Builds, unless otherwise specified for a specific one, where I will then re-edit my initial post saying how much was given to that SPECIFIC character, as well as an over all donations number with the General Donations # (Money given for me to allocate to my desired toon.)

[Quikster]

huh?

What exactly are you looking for? Help with the build? Plat? Items? To make builds for others? Im confused.

Nobody has bashed you yet, so best take the free advice for what its worth so far.

[ArichValtrahn]

What exactly are you looking for? Help with the build?

Maybe Im just missing something here, but the thread title suggests they would like their build reviewed.

Not sure why its in a world forum and not the pally forums, though.

yeah I read it. That's why I'm confused. Did you read it?

there is a lvl 8 build there, followed by a bunch of garbage. That's why I'm confused.

Get rid of all the garbage and post in either the paly forums or build forums. OR keep the garbage and dump the build and put it here. But as it sits?

[Original]

Even Butter is confused here?

If your asking for gear or plat... earn it like everyone else did.

EDIT:

Looks like some sucker gave you +5 mfp... took me 3 years before I actually pulled a set.
Kids these days... they want an easy button for everything.

[LargeMarge]

Word Up Butter! Word Up!

Kids these days!

[Scythera]

Excuse me, I was not aware there were other places to post stuff as specific as this. I am new to the forums. My apologies.

My build set is here, and I guess it should be elsewhere. Thankyou for letting me know.
I am not asking for help, simply advice. I am fully aware that I may get nothing from anyone in anyway, and fully prepared to go on without help from others.
And yes, someone was bashing me. The VERY first post after my original.
Also, No One Game Me the +5 Mithril Full Plate. I pulled it from a chest with my lvl 12 Trap Monkey using a loot stone in Gianthold, Mission: A Cabal for One.

Excuse me if I am upsetting others. I am doing what I do. I earn what I get, and I go about my business, but I also will not turn down help.

As well, I am offering a simple service. Making builds for other people, and giving a detailed summary of what seems to work best. It takes time, time I am willing to spend, while others may not with a possible failure combo in mind.
My original idea was to see what others thought of the build, and to see if they could offer anything to improve, be it verbal or physical. ORIGINALLY, I was going to simply post this Build In my Bio on the character on DDO. But it would not fit.

Once more, I apologize for the irationality all seem to exude, and for placing this post in the wrong thread.

OMG... they let you out of prison?
I hope your not running your gimped cleric!

I was also confused by what you were looking for when I read this post earlier in the day and I'm still confused. If you're looking for advice on the build, could you list your questions so that we can answer them directly. If you're not looking for advice, then it seems that you're offering to make builds for people for profit which is fine is they want to pay you for it, I guess.

oh, nice pull on the MFP btw. I took me 3 years to get a set and that was only after Dragontouched armor came out and I didn't need it anymore!

Thanks for the Gratz, I was JUST looking at overly priced MFP that VERY day. I was ecstatic.

As for the build, I don't know what to say. It is working GREAT so far right now. And I have faced many that are a lvl or two above me and stood at the end of the fight. But, alas, I know that I have only played for a little less then two months, with only one character over ten. I know I am missing stuff, so I took the time to post every little thing (except feats) on here.
I found that I posted in the wrong place, and then went and looked at the right place. (Juntz seems like a god right now.) But this is my forum, and I can keep track of it better. So here, I am doing THIS right now:::

First and formost, I am asking, from what you can tell (From the stats and the stated desired use of the character) what the faults, or lacking areas, or messed up things. I know they are there, I know it. But so far, I can not see it. I have wondered about some of my buffs, for some do not show any effect like I know they should. Perhaps I have ones that don't stack. Which would be a waste of Action Points.

Second, yes, I am offering a service, one that may have already been offered. Because, despite how easy some can get from 1-9, or even 4-9, it still takes time, and why waste time on an experimental build that may fail. Money is asked for this task, for the simple fact that many things are very gold-consuming. But it is not DEMANDED. IF, and only IF, I have multiple people asking, Gold Given will influence who goes first and what not.
My highest character is lvl 12. 50k Plat is still god money to me. The MOST I have ever had at one time, was 25k plat, which was given to me by my Guild so that I could get a weapon that would help perfect my Trap Monkey. Then, later, another 15k plat was acquired for a second one, making a pair of Paralyzing Daggers so that I may help, IN SOME WAY, in fights.

What I hate, though, is, where some lvl 20s or those who own MULTIPLE high lvl characters say, "Just ask, many are very willing to help a lower lvl, knowing what it was like to just start out." Others say, "Shut your bit***** mouth, and work for it like we all did..."
I have NO problem going on my own, with no help from any. I accept all charity, and, in trades, I ask once if they are sure, then take what is given. But I do not, and will not beg. I am no gold spammer, and I make sure others no this.
For the Toon-experiments, yes, some gold is asked as a courtesy. I am taking MY time to do this, though willing, it does take money to adaquately outfit and do other things. But I am provifing a product; knowledge.

[Sandpredator]

So you are saying this is a waste of time but you are willing to have others pay you to waste your own time instead of theirs??

Anyone else confused??

[Scythera]

There are many who play this game to be the best, and have the best. I play to have fun. Take the man above. He asked about a build with Fighter, Barbarian, and Ranger in it. He wants a good stat sheet.
I am looking to better my knowledge. A lvl 20, from what I heard, can make 1mil GP in an hour. And when you think about it, a character, moving from lvl 1-10 will have most likely spent about 500k on weapons, items, repairs, scrolls, feat changes, reset enhancements, etc etc etc.
I do not think it is a waste of time to learn. This is a simple service I am offering. I am going to start small, one person, or two people. See if this even works. There are those out there who are focusing on their lvl 15-20, getting them ready to re-incarnate, who aren't going to waste their time on a build they think will fail, no matter how intriguing it could be.
So I will do it.......

[Sandpredator]

So I will do it.......

More power to ya!!

But not to be rude by any means, why would someone take advice from a guy that has his highest level character only to level 12?? We all have been there, rolled characters to that range and rerolled. If I am wanting advice on building a character, I will want one with end game stats because you don't stop leveling at 8 or 12. 20 is the cap and thats where the planner really helps people plan for the long haul, not just the short sprint. If you are needing help ask anytime, just don't offer advice (especially if it is incomplete).

[Scythera]

Yeah yeah, my highest character is lvl 12, I understand I don't have the knowledge to FULLY explain everything in the game. But, as I said, most would not waste their time. AS WELL, I understand what is needed up to the level I am at. Take Gianthold for example. That is about the time where any build that isn't efficiant.... you'll know by then.
Knowing the end game Isn't REQUIRED to do what I am saying. I am not giving advice, I am not critiquing anyone. One thing most in this game that people lack, is common sense. I may not have end game experience, I admit this, but, at my characters, at their lvls, their is almost none better thus far. I have done jobs required by my class better then Reincarnate supposed-God multi classes.
But yes, that is a flaw. I have not been through end game. But I soon will be. I take the knowledge from those around me, and I am already preparing my character's for End Game, despite their levels.

I am not promising God Characters, I am promising Trial and Error results until a build is working. If you have something you want try, but don't know if it will work efficiently, tell me, give me, what would be considered chump change to do it, and I will do it. It is that simple. If you want to use YOUR time, which could be better spent, then be my guest. I can't force, nor convince.
Faith is a strong thing. And if someone were to show faith, I can guarantee the results.
I haven't been to end game, but let me say this: I have been from lvl 1-10 as many times as someone who has played 3 years. I know what is needed, I know what works with what. I know the ropes already.

But hey, proof is what you need. Then amuse yourself, and try it. Give me a build you have always thought about. And spare some change, and I will make it work.

[ArloOne]

I have a horribly slow character. He just doesn't run fast. Please send me plat so I can buy some haste pots. He will then run faster, so I can see if he was worth building soon.
Thanks in advance.

[Quikster]

Honestly, i just dont know how to respond to the stuff in this thread
