Fighter with High saves, and evaison? help to progress

[fatalshadow]

Hello fellow DDO'ers I was hoping to make myself a dps fighter with high saves and evaison. Is it too much? I dont know so i came to the experts of the forums . So down to the good stuff. So i want a fighter that can kill, and resist spells thrown at him, and evade those unwanted fire balls and traps.

This is what ive got so far.

2 rogue/ 3 fighter (drow)

Starting stats:

Str: 19 (23 current)
dex : 17 (22 current)
con:10
int:10
wis:8
cha:10

I know it doesnt look like much, but with the proper gear i can get my stats up pretty good. And I have a +4 cha item waiting for me. I was thinking of getting atleast 2 levels of pally in there to get devine grace which would get my saves up signifcantly.

Current feats are :

dodge
TWF
toughness
WF piercing

Now thats what ive got laid out right now. Ive liked it so far, but i want a little more out of this build and the saves boost would be a big upgrade. If its at all plausable please give some input and help a fellow player out. Constructive input please!

So basically you're looking for a 10F/2P/2Ro or 9/3/3 build, right?

[fatalshadow]

Yea that would be the goal

You may find you want more CON at Higher levels.

I have a 7Fig/3Pal/4Rog (4 rog to fix skill pt mix up) that I started with 11 Con. He is a heaps of fun to play but I wish I had more hp. I prop hp up with Stone skins scrolls.

I agree with the con issue, but ive got toughness, and at lvl 5 ive got 74 hp, thats not horrible.

Does anyone know at which lvls i should take the 2 pally?

Immediately. Also, a 3rd level of Paladin would get you +1 Ref/Will saves, +1 All saves via Aura Enhancement, +1 AC via Aura Enhancement, and Fear/Disease Immunity. Uhm...possibly stupid question here...you are Lawful Good, right?

At level 5 your hp will be fine. I didn't really notice a problem with hp til I started doing high level content, and I have toughness as well (with fighter toughness III). It's not a massive problem but if I built him again he would have more con.

What Gren meant to say is look at his Victorinox build for a DPS melee build with high saves and evasion. ;-)

I have a 15th level 28 point version of this build and it's survivability, ability to support the party, and deal a healty dose of DPS continues to be quite amazing. I can say this with the perspective of playing a 16th level high DPS barbarian. Re-tweak his feats for the Tempest Ranger line. I chose to go with the Oversized Two Weapon Fighting feat. Make sure you have the spell Ram's Might running. Current specs with my gear:

3Pal/12Rgr
365HP
30Str with Ram's Might
50AC self buffed (which is barely on the edge of useful)
28 minute 30 point resistances, 120point elemental protects, +5 barkskin, jump, etc
Evasion
Fortitude and Reflex saves in the low 30's with Greater Heroism, high 30's versus spells
Will saves in the high 20's
Immunity to fear, disease, blindness, poison
100% Fortification
10 attacks per round dual wielding dwarven axes with power attack on
Can use cure serious wands, lesser restore wands, etc
Two 60 point Lay on Hands
Can still ocassionally use a bow with a +28 to hit and a progressive attack bonus while standing still

The other day I took on the red named fire elemental in part 2 of the Shroud raid with only a (good) bard to support me. I quickly got him down to 10% health and then had to hold him there for the next 10-15 minutes while the party got the other three bosses down in health. And in fact the bard even left me on my own for about five minutes while he continually cast delayed blast fireballs at me. The ability to throw on the big DPS, cast fire resist and protection, use potions and cure serious wand, a good number of hit points and a 37 reflex allowed me to do this.

Thats not a "high saves" fighter, at least not until you add the paladin levels. hehe.

It looks like you have a good Reflex-Evasion Fighter. Thats a good concept I think. Evasion is uber if you have enough Reflex. Its useless if you don't.

Its ok to have some weaknesses as a fighter. Thats why you team up with people that can give you Greater Heroism and Recitation.

10 CON is at risk of not having enough hit points. You would be kinda a squishy fighter, especially if you were not to take Toughness feat. You can buy yourself 20 orchard Tapestries early on (for 400k!) and hope that helps but elves are puny enough compared to the dwarven folk! I have a starting CON 12 elf that seems to be doing OK with the Toughness feat, and no Toughness helm, yet... She will have Evasion and can Displacement herself 4 times a rest though, which is almost as good as having twice as many Hit Points, for a few battles.
