Considering enhancements, would be worth to put some points in the Human racial tree? Where?

Action boosts, +1 INT, possibly the fighting style bonuses: Great Weapon Aptitude if using THF / 2h weapons, Traditionalist Caster if using SWF (+10 Spellpower w/orb).

I see that Human and EK both gives us access to Spellpower boost - does it stack? Should I pick both, none or only one?

Action boosts don't stack but you can have multiple boosts available. I would take Damage Boost first.

Would be a good idea to put some points in Efficient Metamagic? Which one and how many points?

Up to you: like I said, you should have 16 APs to play around with. If I take one, I will take Efficient Maximize first because that provides the biggest SP savings.

Rogue Question: with only 2 levels will I be able to find and disarm traps efficiently?

Yes though it takes some effort. Search and Disable are INT-based skills and you're playing an INT-based class. Wizards get Heroism / Greater Heroism spells which are important skill bonuses. You'll have access to Enhancements like Skill Boost and Mechanics.

The main downside to splashing is you delay your wizard levels and lose the Eldritch Knight capstone, so your DPS suffers a bit.

Edit: I see in the build an enhancement called Bone Armor that I can't find anywhere, not even in the wiki. Guessing it was removed from the game or changed name? Also, Cloak of Night only goes to level 1, another change?

Yes, the Pale Master tree was revised last year so older builds like mine need updating.

Ok, thanks a lot Unbongwah, really helpful.

I am working on my fighter life now, when that's done I'll just need a sorc life for comp.

I'm greedy, and like to play trapper as much as possible. I'm perfectly okay with a 12/8 sorc/rogue or sorc/arty split - but also open to a splash build. I have all non-iconic classes available, as well as Shadar-Kai, Bladeforged, and Deep Gnome. Please let me know what information you need.

Thank you in advance,

The obvious question: do you have Inquisitive? If so, you could run something like Warforged Artificer 8 / sorcerer 12 and GUN FINGERS! your way to 20.

It not: you could do WF sorc 12 / fighter 6 / rog or Arty 2. Works for melee or ranged.

Failing that, just pure sorc with rog or arty splash as a standard caster DPS toon.

[Nytemeir]

Yes! I do have the inquisitive!

And sorry I don't know all DDO lingo... what do you mean by "gun fingers," and how should I distribute my stats?

(I haven't used the inquisitive tree yet but been wanting to)

I know I ask for a lot of specifics, but I'd like to get a build right for a change.

[unbongwah]

And sorry I don't know all DDO lingo... what do you mean by "gun fingers," and how should I distribute my stats?

Sorry, that's just me trying to be funny. Ya know, dual-wielding crossbows like...gun fingers?

Anyway I'm not an expert when it comes to Inquisitives but it seems like Artificer 8 / <TR class> 12 is a pretty simple template for running past lives. Warforged so you can self-repair plus usual immunities. Since you want trap skills too, you should probably stagger out the Artificer levels to spread out the skill points.

Will do, and seems like a solid plan. Thanks for your help.

Do you have a good build for a SWF or favored weapon and shield battlecleric?

[unbongwah]

Do you have a good build for a SWF or favored weapon and shield battlecleric?

I posted a THF battlecleric here. Converting to SWF means swapping the THF feats for SWF of course. That also means you should probably start with higher INT because you need 7 ranks of Balance to take GSWF. Presuming you're using either Sovereign Host (longswords) or Onatar (warhammers), you'll want the Knight's Training feat at level 6, which means dropping either Power Attack or a metamagic.

S&B cleric is not recommended because the melee DPS will be the lowest of all the battleclerics while the survivability benefits are modest.

So THF is the way to go? How’s TWF on a battlecleric?

[unbongwah]

Update 45 greatly improved 2H weapons and the THF feats. Strikethrough is a lot better than glancing blows used to be.

TWF is best from rangers, rogues, and Vistani Knife Fighter builds. You could dust off my Tempest Warpriest if you want a TWF cleric, but it's obsolete and not something I would recommend to newer players.

Thanks for the info! Now I need to decide between THF paladin and THF battlecleric. I’m assuming the paladin dps is much higher leading to an easier time leveling, how hard will it be to solo level as a THF battlecleric?

It's pretty survivable and has insane sustain, but you'll definitely be going slower. You just don't get as many damage features, so it's mostly just base damage and a little bit here and there. A good race will help quite a bit as well (like HOrc gives some nice THF bonuses). Also, you're not quite as survivable as a Paladin - oneshot or burst DPS can kill you quite a bit more easily, as you'll have lower saves, HP, and general resistances. You definitely out-sustain most everything in DDO though, so if you can make it through whatever damage you can easily heal it up.

T3 Magical Backlash is super helpful, but your main early powerspike is ~level 7 when you grab Ameliorating Strike (and 10% Doublestrike).

I don't think it'll be a slog/struggle solo leveling a THF battlecleric, but it'll be appreciably harder than a THF Paladin.

[unbongwah]

Also, you're not quite as survivable as a Paladin - oneshot or burst DPS can kill you quite a bit more easily, as you'll have lower saves, HP, and general resistances.

The flip side to that is you'll have a lot more healing and access to divine buffs either a lot sooner than a paladin (e.g., Resist Energy at level 3, Death Ward at level 7) or which paladins don't get at all (e.g., Freedom of Movement, Protection from Energy).

You could try to split the difference by running e.g. cleric 17 / paladin 3: that paladin splash provides a nice boost to saves, access to defensive stance (13 APs buys you +25 PRR/MRR and +6 STR), and up to tier-3 KotC bonuses to DPS (e.g., Imp Second Strikes, Exalted Cleave). I've even considered pal 5-6 / cleric 14-15 as a Divine Champion analogue to complement my War Shaman: tier-5 KotC, tier-4 Warpriest, tier-3 Sacred Defender, Holy Sword from War domain. But I didn't want to overwhelm the newbies with too many options.

The Divine Champion has better DPS? No downside to heals from the cleric?

[unbongwah]

There's a continuum between pure paladin focused on DPS and pure cleric focused on healing. The Divine Champion tries to split the difference evenly: tier-5 KotC + Holy Sword for DPS, Radiant Servant + level 8 cleric spells (Mass CCW etc.) for healing and party support, Sacred Defender for survivability bonuses (can't heal others when you're a soulstone after all). The drawback is the meta game encourages specialization in the long term; most players would rather be excellent at one thing rather than merely decent at two things. But I don't sweat the meta on a first-life build, particularly if you're still learning the ropes and haven't decided what your long-term goals are yet.

I'm thinking of playing Drow, as they are one of my favorite races in D&D. Are there any good classes for Drow? I was wondering if a Drow ranged Artificer would be viable, but I'm open for other ideas
