    Default looking for a non-wf twf build

    The title essentially says it all. Sort of sick of warforged characters, so I'd like one of pretty much any other race.

    Some things I'd like out of the build:
    Pretty good trap saves, my latency can get pretty bad, and I can take some pretty serious trap damage at times.
    Max DPS is not a requirement, trading 10% dps for 15% surviveability is a sacrifice I'm willing to make, just so long as I'm not entirely gimp.
    I find buffing to be rather fun, whether that means I take a buff class splash or I get some UMD, it doesn't matter.
    I'd also like a class that performs fairly well between the levels of 4 and 10 (obviously, all the way to 20, but I find that many builds just let themselves be bad in this range)
    That's really about it. I understand that's a bit complicated, so all requests don't have to be met, but I'd like most of them to be, if possible. Thanks!

    Sounds like a perfect candidate for a THF bard, maybe with 2 rogue splash for evasion. I'd make a build but can't here at work, maybe someone else will be so kind..

    My original plan was twf, but a THF bard doesn't sount miserable either, I've got a carni-thing from Delera's sitting around that I can use.

    If there's any way that anyone could come up with a TWF bard that'd rock as well, though I imagine the THF may be strapped for just about everything anyway.

    I just have several warforged characters already, as I explained. The TWF part is just a flavor that I like, I'm unsure why it's suspicious that I'd want one. As far as I know TWF is getting a nerf pretty soon, so it's not like I'm FOTM-ing it.

    Heh I mis-read the OP. I thought you said NOT TWF. THF bard is still pretty easy, but you gotta spread around the feats and stats a bit more. Although you will get better mileage out of TWF because of the song bonus applying to both weapons.

    I assume you mean TWF bard is still pretty easy, if so I think I'd rather go that route. The rogue splash sounds pretty sweet, as I do enjoy trapmonkey and evasion is pretty sick.

    I guess I worded the title kind of funny, a bit misleading. x.x;

    Haha, understood. So, you seem to be about the only person poppin in here, and I understand you can't make a build for me. But is there a build you know of that you can provide a link for, or even a name that I might google?

    http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=245084 - It's 17/2/1 bard/rog/barbarian, seems pretty solid.

    I read up on it, it does seem like a fairly solid build, however it looks pretty expensive as well, requiring a +2 tome for every, or nearly every stat. I may give this a shot, but I'd just like everyone to know that I am still looking around

    How about this one?

    You just need a +1 tome for DEX (lvl 7), and maybe a +2 for STR and CHR at a later stage. It has good saves, dps and buffs.

    I am currently leveling one up and it is a blast to play.

    You, my friend, are incredible. This is exactly what I was looking for, dead on. Thank you!
