First off, I'm barely a premier account, with a few purchased low level quests. And I have all races/classes except Half Orc, Favored Soul, and no 32 point builds.
I've been playing D&D PnP & computer games since 1984, and DDO off & on for a year and a half.
I've tried several dozen combinations of races and classes, but haven't found a combination I like, even on the forums.
As to the things I'd like in a build:
1. Self-healing on the fly.
--I really hate potions-never seem to have enough, or the money for them.
--Wands are nice, but not during a battle.
2. High DPS
--Prefer two handed weapons. The Great Axe/Sword are my current favorites.
3. High(ish) Hit Points
--I've had problems with builds that had fewer than 80 hp at level 4.
---I sometimes lose track of hp during battles.
4. Finding Hidden Doors!
--To much content gets lost if you can't get past a hidden door, including shrines.
5. Balance
--Can't tell you how many builds I've made that suffered from low balance!
6. Tumble
--Can't tell you how much I love not having to use a feather fall item! (except in special cases)
7. Soloability
--Never have enough play time to find a party to do the quest I want to do
Things that would be nice, but not to die for:
1. Summoned help-for emergencies
2. Find/disable traps.
3. Unlock doors/chests.
Notes:
My almost level 7 Rogue wields a great axe, sneaks, finds-unlocks-disables things just fine, seldom gets knocked down, and rarely needs her feather fall clicky, but she goes through potions so fast she keeps me broke! (Her UMD only alows her to effectively use a Cure Light Wounds wand, but it takes forever to use.)
I recently built a wizard/cleric who's wizard skills are limited to finding hidden doors, knock, feather fall, summon monster 2, etc, while the cleric side is wearing full plate, wielding a great sword, and heals. Down side? Only 65 hp at level 4, and not sure how long she'll last.
I prefer the drow race, loved them since I first saw them in the "Eye of the Beholder" series, but any that works, and I have, is fine.
If you have, or know of a build that fits my needs, fantastic, I haven't been able to find/recognize one on the forums.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
