[masterblaster-1]

So.... thinking of trying this epic thing and going past level 20. I have two builds that I feel are ready for the next step but have no clue what feats, epic destinies, etc, etc, etc.... so, please some specific advice on what to take at each level from 21 to 30 for these two builds:

This is your typical pally with sword and bard. Likes to stun w/shield. Have divine vengeance longsword I use with this guy. No tomes used, but I can buy some if needed.

That pally should read "sword and board"..........

[unbongwah]

This is your typical pally with sword and bard.

So, what, you strap a gnome bard to your left arm to bash people with? Finally a use for one of those little guys!

That pally should read "sword and board"..........

Oh. Well, that's less fun, but okay then.

What, no love for those little mischief makers? Ok... OK... yes... I do have a back-up gnome shield for fighting really annoying DM narrators.

Hi all


I am thinking about building a monk, and I saw in the forum a clonk build (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...onkey-now-Heal).

Is it possible to get healing aura (tier 5 radiant servant), and deathward mass for a clonk build????


Thx in advance

[scipiojedi]

So I'm currently working on a 1st life halfling tempest at level 10 am still pure ranger, but am wondering how good are the defenses of a pure tempest? I was planning on going 12 Ranger/5 Paladin/3 Fighter and investing in charisma and taking sacred defender stance to boost my PRR and MRR, get extra saves from charisma, plus get a few extra dodge and action boost from kensai.

I've been reading and all I see when people compare tempest builds is the DPS, but I'm under the impression that once you have 12 ranger and have DoD and the crit range and multiplier that the extra doublestrike from the tier 18 and capstone is just icing. But does that doublestrike really matter if you keep dying? Can anyone speak to the defense of a pure tempest? I haven't played a tempest since the pass and never stay long in epics because I keep dying, so that's why I'm focusing more on the defense than dps right now.

[SpartanKiller13]

Yum!

Nice! I'd probably swap the AP's around (I don't need to be quite that tanky lol) but definitely a good build even if it's not quite my goal. Thanks though

You are not allowed to have two sets of tier-5 abilities; so taking T5 ES for Shining Thru would lock you out of T5 Ravager (Crit Rage + Blood Strength), which is where a lot of power in majority-barb builds.

I guess I'm not sure how extended displacement (and shining through) stack up vs Crit Rage & Blood Strength. I imagine this build has enough temps to not really need Blood Strength, but Crit Rage vs displacement? Also if I can blast while raged that's rather appealing.

You can't use spells or SLAs while Raged, so might as well just build around UMD to provide your between-combat heals, which is easy enough to max out.

Good point, especially with warlock.

As SLAs, I don't think they can be used while Raged; recommend you test it yourself on an alt first. Also a number of people who have done melee ES builds complain about the lag time between using the ES bursts and being able to swing a weapon again, although apparently Quick Draw reduces the delay a bit.

I'll do that lol. If not, I'll swap into PA-Cleave-GC instead of Max-Empower. Also quicken doesn't seem to speed them up, despite being toggleable; I'll try quick draw as well, if I can.
Does Supreme Cleave cancel the lag? I know a lot of actives let you skip animations.

That's not really a barb build, though; it's a warlock-based tree build which takes a barb 3 splash for Supreme Cleave. Not saying it's a bad build; just saying it's not what they're asking for.

Yeah. Mostly I figured Brilliance would be awesome on a barbarian, and went from there. That build focuses more on blast/aura damage, by the look of it. Not bad, just not really my goal.

Thank you for your comments though! I'll do some testing later.

[AleisterFlagg]

Hey there master builders,

I'm returning after a while away and was hoping someone could help me with a build request. I've noticed quite a bit has changed as tier 5 enhancements go, and it's throwing my earlier build into a bit of disarray with newer options.

I'm currently playing a Level 28 Bladeforged based entirely off of the "Toaster of Vengeance" build by thesnoman. Found here:https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...=1#post5482419 It is a fire-aspected, 14 Sorcerer, 4 Exalted Angel, 2 Monk.

I will likely be sending him back for a true iconic reincarnation soon, but a minor revamp to his levels and enhancements to get him through to the end would be greatly appreciated. Also cool to toss a +1, +5, or other heart at him to make any necessary class changes, if the entire class setup is borked as it stands.

Much obliged in advance, if any of you clever builders out there can assist.

Newish Player - Self-Sustaining Melee Caster Build? Hey guys. I haven't played in forever, don't know much about any of the new stuff. Looking for the build in the title, some stuff I have unlocked is: 32-pt build, FVS, Monk, Warforged, and Half-Elf.

Mostly, I want to play melee but don't want it to be as simple as just spamming left click. I'd prefer not having to have expensive items to heal or followers or whatever. If I can't do a battlemage with these limitations, melee healer (cleric or whatever) is fine too. Maybe an arcane archer mix or something with ranged potential could be cool too. Thanks.

[masterblaster-1]

So..... any help on how to build epic portion for my pally and my warlock? I don't know which epic feats, or epic destinies to use.

[adrian69]

So..... any help on how to build epic portion for my pally and my warlock? I don't know which epic feats, or epic destinies to use.

Not sure what type of Lock or Pally you're running, but

Warlock with traditionally want

Wellspring of Power
Epic Eldritch Pact Die
The Second Epic Pact Die
Arcane Pulse.
Scion of Fire

Would need to know more about to advise you to take ruin, gruin, hellball, more spell power, or something different, but those are all decent choices.



Paladin

Overwhelming Critical
Perfect TWF
Dire Charge
Scion of Aborreah (20 melee power +2 Enhancement), Earth (+20 PRR +100-150 acid damage on hit), Fey (+20 Hamp +100-120ish Sonic Damage on Hit), or Water (+20 MRR +100-150 Cold Damage on hit).

Again, would need to know more about your build. I always prefer Elusive Target on most builds no matter what instead of picking up Epic Damage Reduction, but I hit 150+ PRR easily without it, and could probably hit 200+ without on a paladin.

Battlemages are expensive and require tomes, PLs, and gear. I wouldn't suggest it.

Some ideas would be a Bard Swashbuckler, like Count of Monte Cristo by Cthruthego
https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...e-swashbuckler

Human Warlock, with SWF feats, Precision, IC, Empower, Max, and Quicken.
https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...7-Hulluukolock

PDK 14 Paladin 6 fighter with a maul and silvanus. These are pretty powerful and survivable atm.

These are all over the forums.

Anything like this interest you? If you have something specific or more focused, maybe someone can help build it to see how it looks on paper. I'd personally go for a Silvanuus build to get rebroken back into the game. Human Barbarians are beast and are great for soloing. Past level 12 the only cost is rage pots. Kensei has best burst melee DPS atm. Ranger is best single target.

[unbongwah]

Is it possible to get healing aura (tier 5 radiant servant), and deathward mass for a clonk build????

Sure it's possible, but Mass Death Ward is a lvl 8 spell, which means you need at least 15 cleric lvls, which means giving up access to lvl 6 monk core abilities like Shadow Veil and +10 Melee Power from Henshin. So how badly did you want Mass DW?

Also going T5 Radiant Servant means you can't take one of the monk T5s, although the build you cited doesn't take any T5 due to AP shortage, I'm guessing.

So..... any help on how to build epic portion for my pally and my warlock? I don't know which epic feats, or epic destinies to use.

Honestly, I find the output of that builder almost unreadable these days. But pure warlocks and paladins are pretty well documented already; so I'll just point you to the Build Repository.

[TDarkchylde]

Anyone got something in the way of a TR build frame that'll allow for full trapskills with 13 levels of a divine class? It doesn't need to be specced for DC casting, as I'd prefer to go THF melee (bonus points for synergy with quarterstaves) or AA/repeater ranged. Evasion also isn't mandatory, so Arti for trapskills works as well as Rogue.

The character this build/frame will be used for has access to Completionist, +3 tomes in DEX, INT, WIS, and CHA, all non-Iconic races, and the Harper tree.

[TDarkchylde]

Could be interesting, but I don't see starting stats listed in the thread.

Can be adapted to any race (as long as you have Harper), although PDK or BF would require an LR +1. Would also work well with druid since hardly spend anything on caster PrEs: grab Fatal Harrier instead of Radiant Burst.

[TDarkchylde]

Oh, that monk-splashed one ought to be sick with Aureon as a faith.

[Horani]

Hi guys.
Returning player, haven´t been ingame since u24.
Looking to bang out a few more lives on my completionist, and am running the Pale Drawlock as the current one.

I´m looking for a TR-shell that works well nowadays.
Will most likely go for the remaining casterlives (3) followed by rogue and ranger in whatever order after that.

Does Warlock/Whatever 10/10 work well for the casterlives and what are the important stats etc for it?
Looking primarily to go for HTR´s, but I wouldnt mind blasting the lives to 30 for the ETR at the same time.

I don´t mind different playstyles and current play/have recently played ranged, kiter and melee.
I just want speed-tr's with a no-nonsense approach..
Don't we all?

Hi, folks. I've been playing table-top DnD since Chainmail and, after years of playing online multi-player games, I have made a home here in DDO with 3-4 friends who also played in 70's. While I was good at table-top, I'm not very good at all with the online games despite (too much) practice! I am grateful that Unbongwah's skills were so immense, that he was able to adapt a THF Bladeforged (pure) Paladin build that allowed me to stay alive while my friends killed stuff in the quests and raids. I could even solo stuff at my level to kill time when nobody else was on.

Here's the deal. I am level 30 now and am about to close out a whole ED sphere (Divine). I have been encouraged to reincarnate and use the 6 million points to shoot back up to level 20. I realize that I have to stay melee-based because I'm too stupid and slow to play anything fun but, I would like to kill things too. (The paladin survives just fine, but my friends time my kills with a calendar...) I have +6 tomes and access to every class/race, 32-point builds, etc. Is there something survivable that has good damage output? Most of my time is spent soloing and I take a rogue hireling for locks and traps, etc., so I don't need rogue levels to solo (but if they help with some other aspect of playing, then I won't turn it down!). To give an idea or two... I saw a neat build that was a TWF bard/lock/fighter (? rogue? monk?). It would run around and gather up the mobs, fascinate them and then kill them. It was a clever build description with lots of "Soul" references... I played something like that in another game and it was awesome! The DDO build was dated so I'm not sure it's still valid/useful. Another idea was something like a barbarian with some kind of twist to make it a little more interesting/useful. I've grown used to Bladeforged immunities and such, but I can pick up a water-breathing clickie or something if fleshie is the way to go. Playing an undead seems useful but complicated (I fight a lot of undead after level 20 and don't want to heal them by mistake).

So... simple, survivable, 2nd life, any class/race, any tomes, melee with some razzle dazzle. (And better dps than my sturdy pally!)

Thanks so much!!!
