Kensai Build Help

[Sehenry03]

Ok there are SO many different builds and i am not good at searching on these forums...

Could some give me a decent breakdown on a good kensai build based on DPS primary with good resists and possibly a respectful AC?

I prefer Humans generally cause of the bonuses you get but any race would be considered if they can truly be a more viable version.

I don't care how many lvls of multiclass he has and if he is Dex based I would be wanting evasion...BUT if he is dex based is he truly gonna have as much DPS as a Str based Khopesh version? I want DPS to be the primary concern. I really don't want to have to depend on WoP weapons

I do think I would like to go for Kensai 3 although Kensai 2 would be enough again if someone could really show it would be better

Gear isn't to big of an issue and starting stats could include +2 tomes if needed and +1 tomes VERY easily

I'm taking Kensai II and Defender of Siberys I on Elrikk my ancient Drow Batman-Intimibuild.

12 Fighter, 6 Paladin and 2 Rogue Makes for very nice Build, another variation would be to try and squeeze in TWF by going Monk 2 for Evasion. (No Intimidate nor UMD jumpstart but those were not on your list)


Hope this helps.

I thought I read somewhere you couldn't take more then 1 specialty enhancement line or are the 2 you listed not a specialty?

UMD would be nice to have I am not to big on intimidate with this build

You can do two specialties, so long as they are not from the same class....

Hmmmm. I have been working on a 12/6/2 pally fighter rogue build, planned on KotC II and Kensai I. Do you think I am wasting my time?

Here is two kensai II /tempest I builds.
The Monster. Decent AC, superb DPS, high saves, evasion. A really strong build that I really recommend.

Here is a more AC/survival specced one:

High AC, high DPS, high saves, good self healing, evasion.

I recommend the latter only if you want to be more self sufficient, it's overall a "better" build, but the incredible DPS of The Monster, combined with more than decent survivability is just awesome.
Make a Monster and I promise that you won't regret it.

I like the Monster build a lot but I just kinda hesitate with WF...I have a Barb WF I really love but I just really prefer human. Would going Human change a whole lot? I know about the WF Immunities which is nice but at the same times humans get there own bonuses like extra feat which is always good...can get 1 more pt of str and dex which WF can only get Con...extra skills which is always nice.

Paladin 12 Fighter 6 Rogue 2 is nice also.

S&B I assume?

And no IMO you are not wasting your time, KOTC is nice but DOS is nicer IMO. You can always try both and see what suits you.
