Sorc/Monk/Pally

[Ragnarg]

Looking at making a Sorc(16)/Monk(2)/Pally(2) and just worndering if I am missing something:

Pros :
AC 30+ in cloth at level 4
LoH for emergency heals
CHR bonus on all saves + evasion for Ref
Ability to use most wands

Cons:
No level 9 spells
Smaller mana pool
No capstone

My highest character is only 10 so I haven't seen any high level content and doubt if I will grind all the way to 20, but was looking for constructive advice. I rolled it as a veteran at 1/2/1 and seems to be working, just wanted to know if I'm seriously messing up here.

I introduce you to the

Tukaw Build

similar, but different.

enjoy!

Id personally make wf wiz18/rog2 rather. It will have decent saves, wont need all those wands anyway, and all its heals are 2x better than pally 'emergency heals'. About ac, maybe someone thinks differently, but i dont think you get ac high enough for it to matter, atleast not without usinng equipment slots that are typically holding caster equipment.

What race is it? despite the -2 to charisma (your primary casting stat) WF is generally your best bet for the additional immunities plus self-healing from repair spells, especially Reconstruct which also adds a haste effect.

As for the overall concept, i've seen one played a few times back on Devourer & it appeared to be very effective - HUGE saves, a large mana pool for nuking & some buffs & good melee capabilities (think the guy probably had a divine power clicky but still) - the only problem i can see with this build is that with less sorcerer levels you wont have the maximum save DC on your spells & your spell penetration will be a little less.

yeah the AC doesnt matter...

BUT!

If you make it a WF you get a Docent of Defiance going and a SKyvault Shield and you can turtle up with nice DR. I have seen it work extremely well. Seems like a silly build...and not a Min/Max build...but looks super fun and useful.

Also if you wanna take this to end game (lvl 20 not Epic) you could work on Torc from DQ and Concordant Op and you can stand in your firewalls and get your SP back. Its a neat build. Absolutely build it and have fun with it.
