Before level 10 or so, Power Attack is better than Precision. Much past that and Precision is better, to a pretty significant point by epics. I'd definitely be taking one of them before level 24 though lol, and if you're going for 30 IMO it should be Precision.

Aasimar - Points spent: 24
Knight of the Chalice - Points spent: 41
Vistani Knife Fighter - Points spent: 15

Paladin without Sacred Defender seems a bit dubious to me? YMMV of course, but I struggle to imagine skipping it entirely. +3 LoH, 25 PRR/MRR, & 20% HP (or +6 Con in epics) is a lot of survivability for 13 AP lol. You can 41/31/8 and grab Haste Boost still if that's a concern (getting Core 5 from SaD and +6 Str on the way) but rule one of dealing DPS is being alive lol.

Str Mod(32)

74 Strength seems a bit low? With like 40 from gear and 30 from base + tomes + levelups I feel like you should easily be in the 90's at least.

Equipped Gear Set

Your original goal was a build to "carry you to cap" so I'd worry more about heroic gear. Probably a ML15 set (mostly Sharn) because that'll get you all the way to 29?

Power Attack and Precision are both offensive stances, so you can only use one at a time. It can be worth having both to swap between, but Precision is really solid to just leave on (given there's a lot of enemies with high Fort like undead, constructs, and Reapers). Personally I'd grab Epic Toughness over Power Attack. You could also quite reasonably grab Quicken, Extend, or even just deity feats for +damage.

Force of Personality boosts your Will saves an insane amount, but you already get Divine Grace boosting all your saves by your Cha bonus so you might be fine without it? See what your expected Will saves are

Legendary Dreadnought

I'd recommend trying both LD and Fatesinger. LD is really solid if you can maintain Blitz, but that can be hard depending on the quest etc. Fatesinger is generally really good for Paladins and melees, and definitely better if you can't maintain Blitz.

Thanks SpartanK

I didnt notice that blitz was a 5 min cool down..YIKES
I worked up Fatesinger and it is better as you pointed out.

Fellow Spart

Blitz is pretty awesome for continuous fighting where you can maintain stacks - you can get 100% uptime in specific scenarios and in those LD is king. 88 MP, 30 PRR, and spammable action boosts is a great combo. That said, there's a lot of content where that 5 minute CD hurts and if you can't maintain stacks you're at 18 MP and are sad lol. Action Hero is still really good with Prowess, and LD is ok, but Fatesinger gets 60 MP constantly and free Martial Hymn for another 10 MP - and the Epic Moment is just awesome. Also singing for a bit of extra free damage

Perfect TWF at 28 is for the 5% Doublestrike which applies to all combat styles. Not sure why you'd take base TWF at 18? I feel like I've missed something, sorry.

[Sparty]

My oversight with twf at 18, I wasn't paying attention
I had force of personality (FoP) at Lvl 18 and it was pointed out that it was overkill.
My will saves are adequate (76) and unchanged with FoP so out it went.
I put in Stunning Blow instead.

Have I missed anything else?

Totally fair, just figured I'd ask.

Otherwise looks good to me! And if not send me an angry PM in a month

THF Paladin's in a really good spot right now though so I'd be surprised if you do.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. This life me and my buddy having been playing together, and he fulfills the tank role as a pure paladin while I fulfill the trapper role as a pure rogue.

Next life he wants to play as a Sorcerer caster and while a pure rogue is capable of fulfilling the trapper role they can't do the tank one.

I love playing as melee, so I was wondering if it would be possible to make a character that could do the trapper role as well as a tank role?

I don't have any tomes but I will have access to a 34 point build when I reincarnate next life. Is it possible to do this with melee or is this trying to fulfill too many roles at once?

Thank you in advance for your suggestions and help

Do you own Artificer? Seems like the easiest solution. Artificer can do traps natively, and one of the Artificer trees - Renegade Mastermaker, is literally a melee/tank tree. You're pretty well stuck to SWF with a runearm, but that's pretty fine

Ideally you can double down and go Warforged, but if you don't own that you can do pretty well with Construct Essence instead to allow you to repair yourself. Also if your buddy is running a Sorc they'll be able to heal you as needed (mostly like if you get cc'ed or for Reaper).

If you don't own Artificer but want to, consider Secrets of the Artificer pack; for 650 DDO points if you can Elite those quests you can unlock Artificer for that character a bit cheaper than the account-wide purchase of the class (995 points). Otherwise you can farm out the challenges and get in on some LN raids to unlock it for free (note that section predates Legendary Lord of Blades/Master Artificer so it's doable without the pack now), but that would probably require you to get close to level 30 (which I'd also recommend if you own Epic Destinies, Epic Reincarnation + Heroic Reincarnation is really nice).

If that's not interesting or available you're then left with some tanky build that has /2+ Rogue and enough Int/skill points to afford trap skills. Followed up by: do you own Harper Agent? If so, you can run nearly any melee/ranged and Int-max using Harper to get to-hit and damage. If not, it gets a lot more difficult to manage gear/build choices to still be able to trap while having viable tankiness and DPS. Maybe a Pale Master Wizard/Rogue?

If you're close to it, I'd highly recommend farming out 1750 favor before reincarnating. This gives a free +2 tome of your choice which adds up pretty fast across a few lives (and once you're mostly running Elite on a 3+ life toon you'll probably be in the ~1400 favor range by level 20 anyway).

I'll be happy to detail any of these or other options a bit more once I hear back from ya.

Interesting. I have the harper tree since I am VIP. Would it be possible to do a Fighter 18/Rogue 2 with a focus on the Stalwart Defender and Vanguard trees? Of course I'd put points needed into harper agent for Int to hit and damage. I like the idea of using a bastard sword/dwarven war axe and shield while being able to do traps.

TYWA Eldritch Knight

Dwarf, 1 rogue 1 fighter 18 wizard // ideally you'd want wizard 20, but since you need trapping...
Stats: CON primary, INT secondary.

18 AP in Dwarf, grab 5% HP and TYWA (CON to damage).
14+ AP in Palemaster for undead form, negative heal amp. Skeleton Knight can off-tank as well
4 ap in Kensei for Haste Boost
40+ AP in Eldritch Knight. Grab INT to hit, Knight's Transformation, 5 cores, all of T5

1) SWF
3) insightful reflexes
6) Toughness

21) GSWF
24) Epic Toughness
26) PSWF

30) Overwhelming Critical, Scion of Earth

start with rogue level, go wizard until you hit 7 BAB, then take fighter level and Offhand Versatility (requires 8 BAB)

armor: heavy as soon as you get fighter level

Weapon: dwarven war axe for some strikethrough, or battleaxe for better dps vs single target (with Knight's Training feat)
Offhand: orb or nothing

TYWA Swashbuckler:
Dwarf, 12 bard, 6 fighter, 2 rogue

Stats: Con primary, int secondary. 13 dex for Precision.

AP (80): 18 Dwarf, 34 Swashbuckler (Needle, Exploit Weakness), 11 kensai (crit multi), 13 Stalwart (+6 con in stance), 3 Harper (int to hit), 1 Vanguard or Warchanter (+1 con)


gear: Light armor, buckler, handaxe

Sure, that would work pretty well, but it'll be a lot easier if you can pick up a favor tome for Strength. Bsword/DAxe builds want to use THF line, which requires 17 Strength (includes tomes) for all the feats. Otherwise you mostly want to max Con and Int, with level-ups into either as desired (or start 16 Str and put one level-up there to save build points). You could also pretty reasonably go Strength-max (better Stunning Blow mostly) but you'd need to itemize a lot more carefully and/or swap Int items on for trapping; also skill points are tighter if Str-max over Int.

As a mainly Fighter build you get approximately one billion feats, but here's ones I'd be looking for:

EWP: Bastard Sword, Two Hand Fighting x3, Improved Shield Bash, Shield Mastery x3, Insightful Reflexes, ICritical: Slashing, ICritical: Bludgeoning, Magical Training, Power Attack, Stunning Blow, and Heavy Armor & Tactics feats.

I'd recommend taking Rogue at levels 1 & 8 or so; you get 4x skill points at level 1, so by taking Rogue at first level you get an extra 18 skill points - and the skills you want aren't cross-class. Rogue 2 is just to re-fill out skills and grab Evasion (try to get Insightful Reflexes around this time).

AP wise probably into Vanguard a bit, then Stalwart for 25 PRR/MRR and 20% HP, then into Harper for Int-to-stuff and KtA. Make sure you pick up +Spell Points in Harper, so you can keep KtA up longer for damage and stun DC's

Cool. The thing is I would prefer to focus on intelligence instead of con for trapping purposes. Also, it would take 28 AP (16 in Dwarf and 12 in EK) to get my to-hit and damage for stats, which would make leveling really hard. So basically take this build but with a focus purely on INT with points in Harper Agent instead. I think I would go with battle axe since I get a cleave from Eldricth knight and don't have the Strength for THF.

Thank you so much

These are great options too. I'll probably get a +2 tome from favor (I'm at level 15 now so this is still a ways off) so that would cover the Strength for THF and then I would just focus on INT. You and magaiti have both given me a lot of options, so thank you so much for all your help

Yo! So, I heard rumors of it, but wanted to see if there was some sort of Paladin/Monk build going around?

Also, I recently unlocked Bladeforged and want to do some sort of mash up to get said Paladin/Monk/etc. going on there. I find the concept interesting, exciting, and want to see if I can make it where I can go around greatswording stuff with one. Anyone able to help on this?

If you want greatswording, paladin 20 works best.

There's 14pal/6monk build, but it's dual-wielding longswords. Pretty much flavor build, but works reasonably well as leveling build (if you like twf), due to easily obtainable leveling longswords with enhanced critical profiles (Nightforge Avenger Blade, Oathblade / Drow Longsword of the Weapon Master)

Well, I haven't heard any of the rumors, so do ya have some more details on those; like what sort of Paladin/Monk split and what's the theory? TWF with Whirling Steel Strike is the only Paladin/Monk build I can find recently (16 months old). THF stick build? Why that split though?

Is this a build for leveling? Endgame? For endgame it's a lot harder to give up the KotC capstone and the option for Greater Defender stance. For leveling maybe a THF quarterstaff build? Monk for the bonus feat and stance options vs Rogue for cheap Haste Boost and the same Quick Strike?

Bladeforged locks you into an epics build (since 15-30), but later on your low MRR will start to hurt (since you can't take any body feats without uncentering and are thus capped at 50). Evasion will help somewhat as long as you keep your Cha up, but without Dex investment (or Int with Insightful Reflexes) you'll probably be failing a lot of Reflex saves endgame which hurts really bad with 50 MRR. You could have pretty crazy sustain overall though, but there's a bit of overlap between Reconstruct and LoH, depending on your Cha stat.

14/6 Paladin/Monk THF? Using Henshin T5 and Zeal from Paladin? You get a lot of free party sustain from Shadows, and Void Strike is fun with Strikethrough. Not sure it wouldn't be better with KotC T5 though, unless party sustain is the goal.

Last time I went for a Monk splash was back when Henshin gave 10 MP per core lol.

Greatswording on a Monk split requires 5+ Fighter and T5 Kensei enhancement: One with the Blade otherwise you'd be stuck uncentered which confuses me even more

And then what's the point of Monk?

I thought of running this as a Bladeforged with Spear of the Mournlands, mostly for flavour. probably a 14/5/1 split with rogue for 15% attack speed. Or something else.

Greatswording on a Monk split requires 5+ Fighter and T5 Kensei enhancement

Crazy idea is using https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Mirana_of_the_Flame as a wood elf. Probably 18/2 in this case, the flame vuln is Henshin works with Mirana.
