need some warforged help!

[Doomblade976]

I am in a bit of a pickle. I have been playing ddo for about 3 months, pnp for alot longer.

I have rogue toon @ lvl 15 and a Fvs toon @ lvl 12

Neither of my other toons are uber, in fact i am sure they are gimped.

I want to roll a WF toon, with decent dps and the ability to take care of himself HP wise. Doesnt have to be a caster
but able to heal himself in betwix fights at least.

I have been searching to boards for about a week, and found some builds that i think might work.

Unfort below those builds are 5 pages of reasons why the build is not up to par, or terrible.

I am just getting comfortable with the game, soloed alot at first, but realized i loved playing in partys much more.

Any help would be much appreciated. I want to be able to take care of myself when i roam around explorer areas and solo the occasional dungeon, but i also want to be an asset to the party that i am in.

I know i cant max dps this way melee or caster

i would prefer melee dps , suvivabilty and to be able to take care of myself.

Thanks again guys

WF Pure FvS

Stats something like

16 str
8 dex
18 con
12 int
6 wis
10 cha

Skill pnts into Con and Balance

Stat points dump into str every 4 lvls

Use 2 handed fighting and grab the Feats and Toughness and a few Megamagics like empowerment healing.

Now you wont beable to CC/Nuke but you can Buff/heal like mad and with with Adam armor and Damage Redu enhancements and maybe feats, and a lil help from the capstone you can hit 15+ Damage Redu. Also this build you will be using Greatswords b/c of the WF FvS Bonus with em.

Not to hijack the OP, but I actually like this idea, but I have 3 questions;

1. If you take the same build with 32 points, where would you put the other 4?
2. If you are only taking 1 level of Wiz, why the extend feat?
3. Toughness twice? Is this going to be that squishy?

[Doomblade976]

i tried that out and could not cast any spells, thanks for the try though!

You can take it more than once?

It really is a play style but try a battle caster tukaw who I know has his build posted is just awesome dps and casting wise. Solo is great grouping is great to. Oddlive not sure if posted but you can go melée or high hp evasion caster for that one.

2rog 2pally 16sorc- Good dps,saves,evasion,skills,great caster,self buff/heal,great surviability, can be done with out a ton of gear but to max out it's real power you should get (torc,minII greataxe,conc. Opp.,gaurds)

2rog 1barb 17wiz- caster vers:great spell damage,saves,trap skills,ton of hp, self heal, surviability
melée vers: all of above with dps but less caster. Oddlive perfected it so I can't say that to much.



Also a few more builds are


2rog 6rngr 12fighter-twf
2monk 6rngr 12fighter-twf
2pally 6rngr 12fighter-twf
20monk-handwraps
20barb-thf
2rog 18barb-thf
20fvs-thf
2fighter 18barb-thf
20sorc

And there are many more... Now some of those self heal,wand heal, or yell at clerics all are great fun and dps

You need to get a +1 Cha item or the +1 cha enchancement to cast lvl 1 spells, then as you lvl just find more +cha items and get the +Cha Enchancements and you can cast all your spells.

Yes , you can take toughness feat several times really.

On another note, this is a build concept I've been toying with...

The build should be a fair caster, able to melee and work around most traps in game (for those no rogue situations). It is based on a 32 pt build though (just FYI).
