maxing intimi gear

[hockeyrama]

I see alot of explanations of intimi gear on different builds but they are mixed in with AC and I get a bit confused.

I was thinking of a couple fo good items. Best way is to be setup for wep and tower shield.

So I have a dwarf one but it does not matter as my question is about the gear choices.

I use a planar gird for GH.
I am not high enough yet to know which plate is best and which shield but will get the ones I need later.

I was using the shroud crafter and saw that I can make a wep with +6 cha, +1 except char, and +2 except char, so +9 charisma on a lightning 2 which can cause added lightning damage.

I also figured my GS item (not sure where best to place it) would have an air guard, with +1, +2, +3 exceptional charisma skills (so that would be +6 to umd, and intimi) and knocks down some people attacking you.

I also saw that you can get a +15 intimi headgear.

Ok so here is the breakdown as I see it and need advice on how to get it higher:

23 points from intiimi during leveling
+3 from skill focus intimidate
+4 intimi skill enhancement
+6 from being a stalwart defender 3
+7 from base 12 char, and +3 tome to get 15 cha +9 from GS wep for cha gives 24 cha
+6 GS item for skills
+15 intimi helm
+4 GH from gird

so that gives me
68

NOw I am not sure what else to add for self buff and making it as high as needed.
the 68 is with just a helm, wep and gs item and the gird can cast GH then be taken off, so only 3 items to get that high.

I can focus on other items for AC and dps but was wondering if I am missing some stuff that is fairly easy to get his intimi higher. I figure if I can get it high enough and use only a few gear to do it is easier to switch from DPS to intimitank when needed.

+2 Good Luck (luck bonus)
+2 Command (competance bonus)
+3 Persuasion (enhancement bonus)
+2 Bullheaded (feat)
+5 Epic Gloves of the claw (Enhancement)

there's a few off the top of my head

sorry was a little tired when i wrote this. you want examples

for specific items with these bonuses, check here http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=249178, feats of course you know where to go for those. only other thing i can think of off the top of my head is the +2 good luck which comes on the "Head of Good Fortune" from the reaver, it also comes as a blue (green, violet) upgrade on an epic item.

+2 Command (competance bonus)
+3 Persuasion (enhancement bonus)

Persuasion is +3 competance bonus and both command and persuasion do not stack with +15 items (which are also competance bonuses). However, Good luck, bull headed, and gloves of the claw (also epic brawn's sprirts) are great choices for more intim. Rolling human lets you get intimidate by taking dragonmark feats and the figher and barbarian past lives both give +2 intim. The new guild augment crystals can give a potential of +4 guild bonus to intim on a shield or armor.

+1: essence of seduction from yugoloth favor patron (+2 stacking CHA)
+1: potion of influence from house d collector (+2/+3 alchemical CHA bonus)
+3: potion of eagles skill from house d collector (+3 alchemical CHA skills bonus)
+2: student of the sword - purchasable fighter past life feat

well HOGF gets you a +2 to luck,also past life fighter +2 ,but if you want to get max intimi(which I dont on my intimi cuz abou 75 (buffed) is good enough) you should go human +2 on some dragonmark skill & you get some intimi in enhancement

With Update 7 you will get a feat with +2 intim/diplo for getting 400 Coin Lord favor.

A free feat like draconic vitality?

[hockeyrama]

If they give a feat it will be like that which will be sweet for all the tanks out there.

I like dwarf better then human for the con, giant dodge bonus, and dwarven axe when going sword & board.

So not going to go human for the extra intim but was just trying to find out a list of all the things that stack. Would also be good to do this for ac as well.

If u are going AC at all insight AC 4 and light strike is nice. Lose 3 points in cha which is 2 Inim. But if you draw it up and that 2 isn't needed it Might be better. And for armor kds is nice on dwarf intim as far as armor goes that you can wear for a while. Although human ftr tr is nice too

You can still get intimidate from other sources although these sources aren't going to be available to all builds

2 past life fighter active feat
2 past life barbarian active feat
2 per dragonmark if you are human

_________
up to 95 if you have these options

2 future coin lord favor bonus
4 large guild augment to a shield or armor
1 lesser charisma shrine (+2 cha)
_________
100+ intimidate possible. 81 is the highest currently neccessary for Elite HOX. This list should cover pretty much all sources of intimidate currently in game and soon to be in game. Before you say how unrealistic some of these things are take this list with a grain of salt. It's a comprehensive list and really the only way to get everthing on this list is to roll human and be in a lvl 70 guild (and own a time machine as you cant get the +2 from coin lord favor yet).
