The Monster. 12 Fighter / 6 ranger / 2 monk

[Madchicken]

Hey ive thought up a very very similar build but the strength is a 53-56 depending on gear and tomes. The only difference is that intead of the ranger you go 6 Barbarian. Then with watever splash you want seems to mean that for a wf wizard seems best just for low lvl soloing/survivablity and for any other race rogue just for evasion. So far it seems pretty sweet just untill lvl 14-16 is where u really see it jumping ahead of all those 14-16 barbarians and fighters.

I've made this build to lvl 20 at last... Here i have to thank you for making this awesome build... Only barbs can hit higher and even with em in team i can over aggro boss sometimes... I even can't imagine what this baby can do as totally equipped... ;] And its not a such training practice sandbag like other builds or pure lvl chars... Of course this border vanish at hardest instances - mobs almost always score but i got low AC still due to not best items...
I'll just summarize by saying its very comfortable build - you just sit and everything dies not only coz vorpals but even due to pure dps...

I am here to point few mistakes spotted during acquiring lvls as written here:
http://community.codemasters.com/for...8-post188.html

1) Tomes +2 can be eaten at lvl 7th...
2) (1 point) Enhancement: Wind Stance I <- cant be taken coz: its not at list and got it already as a monk stance...
...soo 1 spare point - any suggestions from any other Monster build users how to spend that last free point ???

[Blank_Zero]

got this build and turned it Human with a little more AC emphasis...
STR 17
DEX 15
CON 13
INT 8
WIS 14
CHA 8

gotten +2 tomes on all but CHA, and lesser reincarnated twice so far, messing with different skill layouts.

Also, with Human, you get Human Versatility, giving you Haste Boosts AND damage boosts, or to-hit boosts, or AC Boosts, etc.

Currently using Intim a LOT in groups (got a +5 Mithral Tower Shield for DR mode), and I scare people with how much DPS I'm doing. Just did a Vale Slayer run at lvl 15 and got quite a few praises for how fast things were dying when I got on them, even before the Haste/Damage boosts.

All in all, a VERY awesome build, even tweaked as I have it.

Thanks for the inspiration! +1 rep

Edit: This build just gets better and better in a group. Ran flagging for the Shroud. Easy as all get out. Held top kills every time =)

Why not go 18-14-14-11-9-6 instead of 18-14-15-8-10-6 and use a +2 int tome and take combat expertise instead of lightning reflexes, stunning blow or quickdraw for situational +5 AC?

[southpole420]

can anyone suply me with a elf or a human male TR version of this build?

You'll want a 15 Dex so you can use a +2 dex tome and qualify for GTWF.

[Gelandor]

I just wanted to add to this that at Level 18 you take GWS: Slashing, but you cant actually take this until 20 because it requires fighter level 12. You may want to swap quick draw and GWS: Slashing.

i got this build to 20th a month or so. she was a halfling.

i wasnt really impressed, so i TR'd into 12 fighter 6 barb 2 rogue.

i may have to build another, seeing all the positive feedback though

[visionary1977]

I rolled my first Half Orc last night and have gone for this build, I previously had a WF version and found it awesome.. so for an experiment I am following this build, obviously I have had to make some alterations as the WF enhancements are not applicable.

Currently I am lvl 6, have 24 str with rams, I am going to chomp a +2 con tome to sort that out in 1 lvls time.

I will post the build once I have capped it.. in a couple of weeks.

Loving this build though

i have a WF/monster/every bit of gear but 1 TOD ring. i keep trying to figure out a better DPS build (with evasion) and this build keeps coming up in my top 3 every time. its this or an 18 fighter/2 rogue, but that sacrifices some of the possible AC - and being horc you could throw the chattering ring + icy rainment at him and regain that. or go pure HP/some healing capability... gah.. what to do..

Since I don't have a password to codemaster forums and nobody seems to have posted a half orc version in this thread I'm going to post what I'll probably be using.

Took out Lightning Reflexes as it's kinda meh. Replaced with a second toughness. Took stunning blow earlier. Only needs a +1 tome for GTWF. The Stunning Blow IV is probably not necessary, and I may drop it down a bit for more toughness, but I'm not sure. I figure with quick draw you can have your Stunning +10 wep on and then stun and then switch to khopeshes and obliterate it pretty easily, but I may be wrong as I'm not familiar with weapon swapping for stuns. Any C&C on the enhancements I'd appreciate..I think I did well considering there isn't much to choose from after the essentials are taken.

18 +5lvls +5enhance +2tome +6item +3exceptional +1litany = 40 STR possible before buffs. If you wanted to tweak dex/con a little so that you could get 20 STR starting it'd be 42 STR unbuffed..pretty beastly w/ h-orc. With stunning blow 4 enhancement, and a +10 maul your stunning blow DC would be 39, 40 if starting with 20 str. Buffs from kensei/rage/etc would raise this to a pretty much auto stun DC in epics. Definitely could take down the stunning blow APs if you wanted.

Anyone have any tips for level this build? I am currently level 5, and my damage is sub par for most builds at this level. Should I run around unarmored, and focus on being more monk like?

Equip the best two handed weapon you can, preferably a Carnifex and go to town.

Or reroll into a more up to date DPS build.

HL Pure Rogue Assasssin?

[sidgarret]

Here is my current version im playing. He is a former 3 life Monster WF that i converted to Halforc. A few modifications has been done to feats - took a little more toughness feat to compensate for the +2 con from WF i lost but he is working good.

I dont have much to loose since i now have the old monster build from Europe on Ghallanda hehe.

I enjoy it and i have all the gear except the TOD rings. Since the crafting and the gear been aquired over a long time im sure its not optimal but i have been playing the monster since shortly after the guys put it up in Europe and loved it all the way.
