Razebot - A build for people who want to see the whole game on a budget

[Xyfiel]

Min-maxers will prob never understand this build, they are going for top dps top heals top performance and that is what is fun to them(?)

Thanks for this build!

None of them are top anything builds. That is a melee/caster build for every caster class in the game, all with versatility. The difference, I didn't make a thread with a hard to play and gear build for new players and say it was new player friendly. It isn't.
Melee casters are one of the hardest builds to play efficiently.

I simply don't understand the mentality that says Stunning Blow is wasted unless it lands 95% of the time. Even if it lands 50% of the time you're disabling and killing a lot of monsters at a cost of nothing save the cost of the feat.

********************************************

I have fighter that has invested quite some into stunning blow, 1 feat, 3-4 dc worth enhancements, 40 strength, well guess what?

it is semi reliable in vale, but as much as i tried it in amarth, it did not land, only landed when mob rolled really low, hard to speculate, maybe less than 10 for sure

yes you can still land it with big luck, for the 'wooooah' effect, but do you expect it to happend? not really

basically according to my 'mentality' when something works less than half a times is that its not worth and i may just aswell stop mashing that button and find other way to occupy myself, you dont go around fingering things when success rate is some 30%, just cause 'you can get lucky and it works.'

thus being said, i dont regret investing into stunning blow, it works on trashmobs, gets em killed faster, plus adds makes me feel more constructive about my actions than just swinging

just saying that 50% reliability can quickly melt into nothing, and there isnt anything you can do about it

The "Raisebot" build won't have nearly the DC you do, and will get even less out of it.

I tried to read the whole thread, but got bogged down by the bickering.

Just wanted to say that Gemstone is the easiest, laziest build I have to play... and the most powerful one* as well.

None of my 20th level toons spend a lot of time in Epics (you can thank the gawd-awful grind for that), but if I had to bring one of my toons to a chaotic PUG in any content, it would be Gemstone.

By all means, though, continue to convince each other that it's a gimp build - I enjoy being unique**.


* Depends entirely on how you are defining powerful.
** My apologies to those who preceeded me in this build - I swear I thought I was being unique.
