The goal of this build is to make a warforged that greatly specializes in repairing other warforged. It's a tough character, with a lot of spell points, and the ability to stay effectively hidden while landing some powerful repair spells. In addition to its repairer role, it of course also has access to buffing and damage spells, and is umd capable.
I went with a level of bard for various reasons:
-The extra skill points at level 2 allows the character to put those points into the stealth skill as class skills and boost those skill up some more. The result of that is the same as if going pure sorc but having a 14 dex score. The 3 points for hide and move silently come from the level of bard instead of dex.
-The bard level works in a way with the cha score to give the character more spell points overall.
-Gives access to healing wands for naive fleshlings who accidentally wander into all wf parties.
2232 Total SP at lvl cap with archmagi (387 sp for a sorc 16/bard 1) item and +6 cha item. Shroud items would boost that some more.
272 unbuffed HP (214 + 10 gianthold + 30 GFL + 18 Minos)
Max Reconstruct with superior repair lore and superior potency/reconstruction 6: 547hp
***correction***
When I did the percentages, I got 547. But when I actually tested it in game with the said enhancements and gear, I get 783.

A forum post should be like a skirt - long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

P.S.
For people building with 28 pts, I recommend dropping the con score by 2 points to 16.My Videos Shadow Mage (ok, it's a build now)

Max and empower dont work on reconstruction IIRC. I know they dont affect the heal spell. They do however affect repair crit/serious type spells
Edit:
Im writing about your line "Max reconstruct with XXXX=547hp". Read that to be a maximized reconstruct, rather than maximum potential.Last edited by Lithic; 05-19-2008 at 05:59 PM.

No, that is a crit. .40 from enhancements, .50 from recon item. On 18% crit chance start with 2.25 base crit, another .5 from superior repair lore, add the non crit item and enhancement bonuses for a crit multiplier of 3.65. That times the base 150 = 547.5.

Non crit reconstructs would be 285.Last edited by Ghoste; 05-19-2008 at 06:59 PM.

any particular reason why not shocking grasp instead of niacs? I find at low levels, with just one ap in the enhancement for electricity it does a lot of damage as there is no save for it...works great against the end bosses in stk and sc...whereas niac's frequently they save

No particular reason. I try to design builds in a way that allow the player to easily change what they want to. For example, with this one you can easily change the spells and enhancements around to get a stealthy/umd nuker. Originally Posted by Dozen_Black_Roses

Don't think you really need those Force Enhancements.
Simply Reconstruct + Sup.Potency6 gives around 240~250 HP already.
I might use those points into some Fire/Cold/Electricity
Also don't need much crits on repairing IMO.
Unless it's a Barb, 250HP is just enought to top any WF when he/she's at 50%
(Chance to see a WF tank is below 50/50, and even lower in case of WF Barb)
Basicaaly once you have Reconstruct as a spell (not the scroll),
any WF Wiz/Sor can be a nice Repairer.
So I would use my action points into another DPS ability.
Other than that, sice we don't have S.Potency 8, it's always good to split 1 or 2 levels
