Solo build for returning / relearning player to get q few past lives

Im getting back to the game i took a break for a long time and also trying to show the game for a few friends.

My last interact with ddo was when o bought Menace of Underdark, and if im not wrong, the "epic things" were implemented.....so i dndt even touch epic or all the things since "epic" came to the game, and all seems new to me.

So i got a monk that is on a 2life with a +2 tome on every stat if i remember well that i went pure cause of survivality and self healing and now im thinking about to TR to learn all the game again from the beginning with a friend.

Theres some mechanic that i dont even know how it works heheheheeeheh (Enhancement, etc...), and i will show some SS from my char situation

Also i got all the content that was on promo sale this mounth for 99 DDOpoints and the freecode (dungeoncrawl), so i assume the only content i dont have is saltmarsh, the isle of dread and Feywild. I also saved some ddopoint saved if it help(1,5k i think).

Doing some reading on forum, i saw some ppl talking about get thw paladin past life at least 2x, cause its good and helps for future TRs, but i dont really know, just got this info ramdnly on the forum....

Could u guys help me with a build that can help me? Maybe with some trapskills and self healing/sustain?

So here we go. Thats what i got after trying to use the planner and after a few talks in discord.

I will say I've run 18Pal/2Rog on multiple Hardcore Seasons solo and its great for fast leveling and survivability, HOWEVER the Sacred Fist Pally is actually better for survivability and utility. You can focus mainly on Charisma since it's your hit/dmg stat as a Sacred Fist which frees up more points for your other stats since Strength isn't needed. Your single-target DPS is way higher and the Radiant Servant Tree turns your Turns into full cleanse (blindness, curse) and gives poison/disease immunity vs. the pally disease restore. Also the Radiant Servant Healing (Cure Moderate SLA and Divine Healing) Personally I'm not a huge fan of the Ki system but ****, SF's Ki Wave is a huge cone attack that does incredible damage.
All that said, THF Pally with the way Strikethrough works with Smite (and especially Exalted Smite) being able to hit 3+ enemies for several hundred damage starting at lvl 8 or so is impressive too.

Thanks!

I don't have an elaborate spreadsheet but I can write the basics of it. How you spend your Stat points are up to you but what you want for sure is:

16 INT
16-17 DEX
14+ CHA
The reason for 16 Int is the 5 Skill Points per level, 2 for Disable Device, 2 for Search and 1 for Concentration (you can do 1 DD and 1 Search now and then and put 2 to Heal if you want)
The reason for 17 Dex is to qualify for Two Weapon Fighting feats (since it applies to handwraps)

With Dark Hunter getting 1 BAB at the start with DD/OL as class skills you can actually get your 2nd TWF Feat at lvl 6 instead of waiting to lvl 9 (if you picked rogue) because of BAB restriction

Now you can do 16 DEX and use your lvl 4 Stat point to bring it to 17 if thats easier for Stat Cost at Character Creation (however ALL future Stat Points should go to CHA)
8 Wisdom is fine since by the time you can cast spells you can find +Wis items that bring it high enough to cast that rank

You might as well leave WIS low because you'll be taking Force of Personality almost for sure at lvl 1 or 3 (Lvl 1 if you start rogue and lvl 3 if you start Dark Hunter)

By Level 12 your 5 Feats (unless you pick Human) most likely will be:
Two Weapon Fighting
Force of Personality
Improved Two Weapon Fighting
Swords to Plowshares
Greater Two Weapon Fighting

I will add that I'm Premium but have been F2P for the past 15+ Years so I don't have any special races other than Warforged and I don't include Tomes and whatnot in my builds because most players don't have access to them.

My Current 1Rog/12SF is able to solo Ravenloft "Invitation to Dinner" Elite (no wands or clickies) and pretty much anything that is At Level on Hard (IE, quest is lvl 10 on Hard and I'm lvl 10) because of Radiant Servant survivability and Sacred Fist defense options (High AC, Dodge% ect).

ONE big warning tho is that Low Strength can lead to a really bad time if you get hit with Enfeeblement because not only are you "helpless" if it hits 0, if you're ever Encumbered beyond Light you lose Centered and most of your bonuses

There have been several opinions on "What makes the best SF?" Some prefer quarterstaff, some go fists, some more martial weapons. Some go pure, some splash and dip (some more than 2 levels!). Many builds take 1 (or more!) Monk for the Stances, and/or 1 Favored Soul for the Trance (short-duration 1/2 Wis modifier to Damage).

For my money, the Whirlwind multi-class (last listed below) seems solid. If you're only going to 20, I think most any of them will work well (and I haven't run them all to compare them). However, if you want to mix in Trapping (as suggested above), that's a diff angle again. Ymmv.

Here are some threads w builds and/or discussions:

o Latest: Jan 23 SF multi Stunning Fist + staff https://forums.ddo.com/forums/showth...=1#post6566206

o Strimtom https://forums.ddo.com/forums/showth...=1#post6538315

o SF 18/1 Monk/1 FvS Whirlwind Attack "spin and win" (sketch) https://forums.ddo.com/forums/showth...=1#post6570919

Note that SF doesn't get "Wisdom to Damage" until SF Level 6, so until then it relies on whatever Str you have. Can be a slow start, but then it's all good, so tough it out and play the long game.

For the level 18 feat i got some choices, but i dont know wich is a good one
(quicken spell, diehard, power attack, two weapon defense, weapon focus: blud, or maybe lowering some con to rise wis and get stunning fist)

I will say I'm trying a THF Quarterstaff Sacred Fist with 1 Lvl Rogue but its only working as a Human since the build requires a extra feat to get Quarterstaves (Follower of Aureon) as your Favored Weapon since Sacred Fist has to take Handwraps by Default as their Favored.

Feats:
LVL 1: THF and Follower of Aureon
LVL 3: Power Attack
LVL 6: Swords to Plowshares
LVL 9: Improved THF
LVL 12: Greater THF
LVL 15: Force of Personality
LVL 18: Improved Critical (I believe this stacks with Swords to Plowshares because StP stacks with Impact/Keen)

You get the added bonus of 15% Attack Speed with Rogue's Thief Acrobat, 25% Doublestrike from Tier 2 Ability "Quick Strike" and the 3 Imbue Dice for Assassin Tier 2.
Human also gets Strikethrough 20% which is nice because there's no Strikethru on Sacred Fist like there is from Knight of the Chalice

Now you COULD take a 3rd Level of Rogue to get Core 2 Thief Acrobat to get Swords to Plowshares but losing the Core 5 SF Ability that generates lots of extra Ki doesn't seem worth it
