Battlemage build

[Elidan123456]

hi, this is my first build, the purpose of this built is to be able to deal some heavy damage while being able to remain alive in solo, the purpose is also to have fun, because spamming the left mouse button can get annoying on pure melee classes and for some people it's just not fun standing in the sidelines casting spells, not getting in on any of the action, so if I accomplished my goal then this is a build for a character that will do a high amount of damage, be self sufficient, and have fun. keep in mind this is my first build, in the beginning I totally forgot about enhancements so I only spent the points later on, try to ignore the sloppy order and look at the final product, when I actually make this character the order is going to be slightly different. also I would love it if some of the experts here could tell me what I could improve to make this build batter designed for its purpose.

oh and i forgot to mention, it's probably obvious from the build but i will tell you anyway, by the time the character get's about halfway into the game he/she should be able to use medium armor with no prob, the character uses greatswords for melee and most spells are instant cast damaging spells, there is however some things like confusion and fear and a couple summon monster spells

look at the spellsinger build in my thread

[Elidan123456]

my bad, i just noticed i posted this in the wrong thread

[captain1z]

***Disclaimer***


Im not knocking your build at all but mearly trying to dispel an illusion

*** end disclaimer***


A full wizard can melee just fine on his own without the need to splash any classes

edit...sorry boss came in


so yeah, with points in his primary melee attribute (dex or str...Id go str) and some con a buffed wizard is not hurting to hit anything. Also with 5 free feats granted a wiz can use his others to play around.

My wiz has 22 str 30 int 22 con and power attack, 2handed fighting and improved 2 handed fighting plus all the great feats that make a great wizard.


a 10 10 mix fighter wiz may be fun but will scare other ppl but I can tell u from experience that a wizard carrying a great axe is gonna scare em anyway.

look at the spellsinger build in my thread

would that be the elven bladeslinger ?

[Elidan123456]

the benefits of the fighter class are great but i am not 100% sure they are worth the loss of half the sorcerer levels, i wish i could test this first but i think it will turn out well. also i have a question, i spent lots of points on concentration but i think it might be totally useless, pretty much all of my spells are instant cast so is there any other use for consentration or should i just get rid of it?
