    Get a power II item. The discarded ring may also help. You'll also need a WIS +1 item to be able to cast at all, but that should be easy obtainable for at most 100pp from AH. Or found someplace etc.

    With that and archivist's necklace, you can keep yourself Ram'sMighted for about 20 minutes, at level 4.

    If your power II item is a weapon, it'll take some juggling, but with the help from the ring it is workable.

    If you can't get a power II item at all, just the discarded ring will be enough to cast 1 spell. Total of three with archivist's necklace.

    OP states at the beginning that enhancements are the choice of the player as to when they should be taken. You can put the builds in a file and print them as you need. I did. : )

    With each level you reach, you will possibly spend more time at that level than at level 4. In the end, you will hopefully spend more time being level 20 than being level 4. Then the question is: What will give you a bigger benefit? Some more points in wisdom or 20 HP/+1 damage and +1 to hit?
    The answer is in most cases: One of the latter two. This is a good thing, because it means that you can focus your build points and invest them into 3 key stats (Dex, Con, Str) and you do not need to spread those stats over 4 or even 5 stats, like monks or paladins have to.

    Please note that 10 Wis is already considered to be a new-player-friendly stat choice. Most Rangers and Paladins even start with 8 wis (paladins have a similar spell progression as rangers, with the same 2 sp at level 4. those should be actually 5, but they never bothered to fix that.)

    There are several possibilities to enhance your SP pool:
    - a + X Wisdom item. (you will need a +1 wis item to cast level 1 spells, a +2 item for level 2 and so on. Usually, you should be able to get a +6 item around level 15.) The higher your wisdom, the more spell points you will get per level.
    - a Power/Wizardry item. This adds a flat amount of SP.
    - the mental toughness feat. This adds +5 to your SP and additional +5 for each level. You will pick up the feat at level 6, resulting in an immediate boost of +35 SP.

    So, yes, this build was made not to cast spells right away, but you will soon be able to.
    Thanks, I'm beginning to understand it now. I guess it was abit of a shock to hit level 4, get ready to be able to casts spells and then to only get 2 spell points. Perhaps a note to that effect could be put in the build, so people aren't caught unaware.

These Green Steel items are not lootable like in other quests, but the you can get crafting materials in the quests which can be combined to a huge array of weapons and other items. The "min 2 weapon" is one popular crafting recipe from the shroud.

    Tomes have no downside, besides being costly (TP/cash or plat). If you use a tome, only the highest value in each stat will be applied, i.e. a +1 tome combined with a +2 tome will only yield +2.

    Again, thank you for the info

    Yes, it's a lot of extra work to go through all races in the character planner. I might do it once I have nothing more left to do (and my to-do list is quite big -- I'm doing very slow progress due to not having much time to work on this).
    If someone wants to do it and post the character planner outputs for some builds, I'll link them

    You're right, I should add a tip about this. Added to my to-do, thanks!

    Hi,
    I hope this topic is quite good for my request, if not please let me know where is a right one.

    I would like to create Holly Arrow - Cleric with a bow, mainy using Zen Archery for synergy.
    I even tried it with a Human, Cl 1/Ran 2/ (rest planned as cleric).
    The stats are Wis maxed, some const, some str.
    The trick which i like to make is combine zen archery, 'free' power bow, and rapid shot.
    I even tried it till level 3, however found that it was more effective to swing the great axe, since bow was quite slow even with rapid shot.

    So here is my question: Have anybody tried, or it is possible to create a build with ok cleric abilities (healing, casting) and doing some dps with a bow?


    Or maybe it will work better if i switch to throwing weapons and mighly blow?

    The reason of bows to wish to stay at distance, so be able to watch over battlefield and easier switch to casting if needed.
    Thx for help.

    Might have more luck in the cleric forum, but here's my opinion on this:

    This kind of build is tricky, mostly due to the lack of feats. I actually have such a build, it's an Elf Cleric 17/Ranger 2/Wizard 1 (currently at 13th level). Unfortunately you must be Elf to get Arcane Archer (disclaimer: I'm clueless about Half-Elf, maybe they get it too -- EDIT: someone told me Half-Elves could go AA as well), because AA is a must to have decent ranged DPS, so you can't take advantage of the Human bonus feat. My feats are:
    Weapon Focus / PBS / Empower Heal / Quicken / Manyshot / IC / PS / IPS
    and I don't see how I could live without one of these... this build was made before Zen Archery was added, so I didn't have to worry about it, but even if I were to re-do it now, I'd probably still do the same and go Dex-based instead of Wis-based (saves the feat and higher to-hit -- my offensive spells will suck anyway with only 17 levels of Cleric, no spell pen and no maximize).
    Prepare for people to believe you are totally clueless when they see your build too
    So far the build's been ok, although it's definitely less powerful than a normal cleric at mid-levels due to the lack of offensive spellpower. I'm looking forward to the higher level AA goodies.

    I would NOT recommend this for a new player.

    I wrote a bit of a rant about Divine (Cleric or Favoured Soul) Arcane Archers over here: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=285430.

    Tihocan is right about the feats, there is a lot of critical feats that are absolute must haves, almost too many do actually do the build.

    Being wisdom based on a cleric is the way to go, imo, to get the SP pool up enough to raid heal well (without having to rely on gear), 2 monk and zen archery works well with this (monk stance, evasion etc) however you can't fit improved precise shot in very well.

    Favoured Soul is better for this build imo due to the leniency that the larger SP pool gives.

    Half-elf is a great race choice for the build, much superior to elf. Human versatility gives burst damage that blends very well with manyshot and the healing/shooting style of play that works best. Dilettante feat brings a free feat (bow strength) or 3d6 sneak attack (and other possibilities). Healing amp and adaptability (+1 wisdom) round it of nicely along with the extra HP.

    Default Necromancer Build

    I rolled an alt for the Necromancer and ran it through the character planner to have available for level ups and enhancement selection. I noticed that for this build, using a +2 sup tome at level 7, the HP are at 222 at level 20. Is this normal? Did I miss something somewhere?

    HPs in the planner don't take gear into account. You can easily add:
    - +6 Con (+60 HPs)
    - Greater False Life (+30 HPs)
    - Toughnes (on item like the Minos Helm) (+20 HPs)
    - Argo favor (+10 HPs)
    --
    +120 HPs easy to get

    A bit more difficult to obtain : +45 HPs from Shroud crafted item, Yugo favor pots, up to +3 exc. Con, +7 Con item instead of +6, ship buffs, ...

    I'm not sure if the planner takes the Racial Toughness enhancements into account too (it probably does, but I never paid attention).

    Talking RE: Necromancer Build

    Thank you for getting back to me. : )

    When I run alts through the planner, I only put in a +2 Supreme tome at level 7 because I know I can get that. I have no real idea of what else is available to boost stats, other than certain items (necklaces and such.) Is there any place that I can find a listing of the things I could use to boost an alt's abilities, how to get them, and stackability?

    Looking back at this alt, she is a Drow. That is a 6 Con to start. Probably why her HP are so low.

    Ah, tihocan,

    I'd been curious to see what you think of the Necromancer's improved survivability and was curious to see if the stats you have for difficulty have changed from the old values (more difficult to solo as non-warforged than others) or not. I'd been reading that the PM prestige class forms can greatly help surviviability and makes a well set up PM a solid soloist option, but this is reading once every blue moon (been offline a bit thanks to RL stuff, so I'm not remotely near up on what's up with the PrC since they introduced the death auras.)

    Thanks for pointing this out, I forgot to update the soloability rating of the Necromancer build now that Pale Master is out.
    WF will still be easier because you can still heal yourself more efficiently, but I'll definitely need to improve the other races ratings.

    Keep in mind these ratings are very approximate too

    You might want to include a disclaimer for this format, as the displayed hit points usually do not include GFL (+30), +6 Con Item (+60), Argo Favor (+10), Toughness Item (+20), and not-so-easily accessible things such as +2 tomes (+20) and GS HP items (+45), not to speak of exotic bonuses such as SFL, Exceptional Con and higher tomes. (Toughness feat and 2 toughness enhancements are included in the total above already.)

    All in all, the reader is on the safe side to add about 120 to 185 HP to every build listed in this format.

    The main goal of this format is to make it even more newbie-friendly by providing a plan one can follow without even thinking about it (= same as the paths in game), not to show off the build stats.

    That being said, you're right that I should probably add such a disclaimer to clarify this. Point taken, thanks (added to TODO list with low priority ).

    Yeah, all what I wanted to say is that the builder produces somewhat misleading HP scores. Just wrote down the numbers because I was interested myself how much the builder misses.
