I'd probably not roll this as tempest but as arcane archer and also consider dropping warchanter in favor of virtuoso because you won't reach the top buff levels anyways.

True. Virtuoso is a nice Bard PrE. Its an economically strong and viable route, but I really like Warchanter PrE since it brings the magic number +4 hit /+6 Damage for the whole group so I'd be less piking and more spanking Originally Posted by supp3nhuhn
Plus I'll be going elf, just playing around with human or dwarf to have time to post a build reference.
Though I am going for the AA route as you mentioned, after realizing the tempest I is kinda lame.. :| Originally Posted by TitoJ

Played around with the class combo a bit and it doesn't look that horrible really.

A tad on the squishier side but still nothing too low, especially while raging.
Warchanter buffs and almost 7 minutes of rage, drop wand mastery 2 and you can scracth on the 9 minutes.
Doesn't look that bad at all imo.Last edited by supp3nhuhn; 09-18-2010 at 05:24 PM.

As a side note: The commnity of the trading card game Magic: The Gathering loosely classifies three archetypes of players: The Timmy, The Johnny, and The Spike. Originally Posted by AltheaSteelrain

Spike is the guy who likes to play the most streamlined and effective way; a DDO equivalent might be a guy who always find a particular character build which does just a tad more dps than the last flavor of the month buid.
Timmy is the guy who is impressed by huge numbers and effects. Keep it simple, but make it supersize. Sorcs and Barbs, as well as THF Pallys should appeal to the DDO equivalent of a Timmy.
A Johnny is the guy who likes to find and play interesting synergies between different cards. Not the most elegant ones, but those which are neat. People who play 4 PrE toons give some room to their inner Johnny, I guess.
TL; DR: You Sir, are a Johnny, not a gimp. :PToons on Orien: Meinir // Flodur // Twiddler // Thorkar // Impetor // Juliacantor // Minor all Soko Irrlicht

You could drop both wand masteries and get favored damage 1 and 2 instead. Originally Posted by AltheaSteelrain

That would give you 2 more damage per hit bringing the total adders to:
6 favored
1 rage spell
3 rage
3 rams might
1 frenzy
6 song
7 power attack
2 weapon enhancement
-------
29 extra damage plus base strength bonus
As comparison a max strength kensai gets 19.5 damage bonus which already includes his higher starting strength, so against favored enemies you should end up pretty much on par with one.Last edited by supp3nhuhn; 09-18-2010 at 06:42 PM.
