WF'ed no DC's Nuker

[vVAnjilaVv]

Just wondering if this looks ok...seems viable to me.....looking for anything I may have overlooked.

Focus is on holding own in melee and being able to damage with all types of non DC damage spells.

I kind of figured critting more often would be better than critting less often harder...not sure if I should re-arrange my lineage and damage multipliers some....I can always change that later...more concerned with the stuff that would require feat changes or reincs if I messed up.

Thanks for any replies.

nothing wrong with your spell dc and you have 2x spell penetration, take atleast finger, its still useful, if you really wanna melee, id consider toughness feat and 1-2 levels of multiclass, but as i said your spell dc and penetration is just fine for wf sorcerer, no need to switch off dc based spells

if you really wanna melee, focus more on it, i wouldnt go with masters touch, 0 ac and no toughness

resolution: if you only want tiny bit of a melee, then its fine, if you want more, drop spell penetrations and take toughness, maybe proficenty in weapon of your choice

but idk you can melee in gianthold, vale, but mobs ahead have way too many hps to even bother with such build so if i were building such char, id keep spellpenetrations and only settle with killing real trash.

you may want to look around in forums, think iv seen more promising melee wf sorc builds to grab ideas from

Why have you taken spell penn?

If you are going for a pure nuker you will not need it.

Saves 2 feats and 12 ap. or so.

Well really what I was trying to do was make something that can do effective melee and spell damage without having to worry about DC's.

Energy Drain and Otto's Irresistable are both very nice and have no DC check just the spell pen check......for tougher monsters or in a pinch an Energy Drain here or there is appealing, so is stopping a monster dead in it's tracks with Otto's.

I took toughness, it should be in my build unless I messed that up, should be my level 3 feat. I'm considering dropping CHA a little more and increasing my STR and/or CON.

I redid the Character Planner and dropped CHA to base 10 and increased CON to 17 and STR to 18...this almost seems like it would be better. Since DC's won't matter all I really have to worry about is my UMD a bit and having CHA high enough to be able to cast all my spells.

Caster Focused w/solid melee
http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=181901

I'v played both and they are both very solid Battlemage builds. The first can do some solid firewall damage+scorching ray but thats about it for the casting other then heals/buffs. The second Can do some really good nuking with non-dc based spells and even some dc based nukes, along with having a solid melee with divine power clickies.
