Top Shroud Elite DPS builds

[Thrudh]

How you guys manage to do these pretty graphs with so many variables?

Sign my pally up plz: Zweihaender, Paladin 20

30str unbuffed (32 with +4 tome)
WF THF Greensteel Greatsword MinIII
Divine sacrifice III +9d6 radiant every 6 secs, +1 crit threat range and multiplier
Divine Favor
KotC III
Bloodstone
12 Exalted Smite evils IV,+1 every 90 secs (portals take smite damage too, dont forget to multiply crits on trash and on Harry, i get around 434 base dmg on some of those)
2m24s Bladesworn Transformation
Divine might I
Count madstone (dont have it yet but will get it eventually)
Warforged Great Weapon Enhancements III
Warforged PA I
+1 to hit wit Greatsword
+2 to hit from ethereal gloves

Edit: Btw i intend to use the Sword of Shadows on trash mobs to improve my smites (if i ever manage to lay my hands on it), dont count smites for trash on part 4 though (i save those for Harry)

THF is good DPS, but for top honors, you gotta go with TWF 20 Paladin with a high base charisma for Divine Might IV (probably drow - since base 20 CHA might cost other races too much)

[KKDragonLord]

I don't care for top honors, this is my current character, i just want to see the numbers she would get.
WF have things drow dont have, especially for THF on mod 9.

[Yargore]

Link to the numbers is in the OP...Its my most recent dps calculator i put together.
its read only, but if there is enough interest i might consider allowing ppl to download it

No offense, but it's pretty hard to follow.


Me and A-O have made our DPS calc as userfriendly as possible and we'll upload it as soon as we find a good place to upload it on

Might as well try Impaqt's almost-a-joke ultra-DPS build: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=192698

yeah this one needs a spot imo. also the t-devil and maybe a tempest kotc with zeal too

[Aeneas]

Might i suggest a strength build WF rogue 12 (assassin)/6ranger(tempest)/2barb with full PA enhancements (4) using TWF and khopeshes. Or even the 13/6/1 mix which trades some hp's and rage time for an extra backstab die and rogue feat.

For DPS calc's sake, my strength at 20 should be

16 base + 5 levels + 4 tome + 6 item + 3 shroud enh +2 rage + 4 barb rage +2 madstone = 42

FE's are construct and EO and the rogue wrack construct enhancements are in play.

Here is the Colossus build I posted Fighter 12/Barbarian 8, should be similiar to that Archon build I guess, although it is TWF and Khopesh.

Does anyone know the exact extra % chance of adding magical effects to glancing blows for following abilities:
Base = ?
FB Rank I-III = ?
Kensai rank I-III = ?
Warforged THF Aptitude Rank I-III = ?
Barb Capstone = ?
Any other ability I missed = ?

No offense taken... yes I admit it is complicated, and alot of the fields could be consolidated into one... but i did it that way for debugging purposes..

Its not easy to include every game mechanic possible (AC, fortification, damage reduction, 5 separate attack animations, late chain to hit bonuses, crit confirmation rolls, differnt fighting styles, differnt glancing blow proc rates, etc... the list goes on and on.. )

Hehe. Yea it is a bit hard to include all the different abilities.
I'm working on THF now for our calc. After that we've got everything except AC included. **** "advanced" by now and very userfriendly. Only have to edit like 10-20 fields and you've got a comparisson between two completely different builds VS any fort / resistance / DR.
Or if you just want to compare the difference between two weapons (khopesh vs scimitar for example) all you have to do is type "Scimitar" instead of "Khopesh" under one field and everything is automatically updated.

[Monkey_Archer]

BTW..

all the blue fields are calculated (so you can ignore them)

Yellow/grey fields are where you input

Orange/red are calculated dps

[Monkey_Archer]

1: Drow TWF KOTC
2: WF THF KOTC
3: Exploiter 18/1/1
4: TWF Dwarf Barb
5: Colossus TWF Khopesh

Shrug, Monkey you have always put too much weight on the thf attack cheating later motions really little point whenever you compare the thf and twf styles because I and others will always disagree with one of your base assumptions.

At least I am now also considering the -4 to hit penalty in my calculations for such an attack style

[Absolute-Omniscience]

Anyone caring about DPS and using THF will twitch. It's not hard, and boosts the performance by too much to be ignored.

[cforce]

Also, I'd recommend getting WF Kensai 20 into the mix -- that build scored pretty high (the highest?) on gfunk's chart.

Working on round 2 atm... will definately put a good kensai build into round 3

Here is the highest dps for shorud elite

Not only does he have high dps on his own he adds ton dps to the other players in his group = way higher dps then rest can possible every do. Ofcourse im assuming the others are not soloing the elite shroud either.

Yeah sorry but if you switch that to Halfling with Khopesh it is higher, plus who needs a silly AC song you should go 14/4/2 instead for super uber MAX dps .

Edit:
Though it might actually be pretty close on Elite Shroud due to fortification and those pesky portals.

That not a bad build at all. I like 15/3/2 better but still nice build for higher dps. Little low on hp for elite raiding.
