Dwarven Battle Mage

[wiglin]

I have had this character capped for a while. It has been a fun build to play. I have soloed tanked the reaver on elite, played firewall magnet in Temple of Vol (also unlocking the extra chest room), and kept up in the kill count on madstone elite with a critical raging barbarian. Very versatile, great survivability. (Just remember to hot key those divine power clickies)

5 Weapon
2 Enhancement
=29 Regular Mobs
=30 vs orcs and goblins

+6 with Divine Power clicky
-5 Power Attack
=30 Bosses
=31 If boss is an orc or goblin

This build really needs one more level to shine. (3rd ray for scorching ray, 30-point resists)
The key to making this work is hot keying divine power clickies to keep you BAB = to a fighter.

The idea is to stand in your own firewall or cloud kill while dishing out damage.

Pros:
+You can umd heal scrolls on a 5 or better
+Wand Mastery II boosts your CSW wands
+AC is respectable
+Evasion with a reflex save high enough to matter
+Raise Dead scrolls without failure,
+You can spam yourself (and the party) with stoneskin, blur, displacement, haste, GH (via scrolls
until level cap increase), false life, rage, and resists.
+84 hp LOH for that uh-oh moment
+300 hp's with buffs
+1100 sp on a mellee dps

Cons:
-Relying on Divine Power clickies for hard to hit mobs
-Pugging
