Ok first off this is just my first build i made... Its name is... Splash Fighter.

Everyone is wondering WHY OH WHY DID YOU PUT IN TWO LEVELS OF MONK. at lvl one and two i put in those levels of monk because at lvl 20 it makes a difference of 87 HP. cause of toughness. the rest is all fighter for the feats. it is mainly a tank i say. and the wep prof and specialization can be traded out for other things. but S&B is the main thing i focused on.

I didnt put in any armor or special wepons on this build "yet" you can add at your own discretion. "aka green steel. and figure up the HP in that. I havn't figured up the AC in this either.

Rate on first build i do Plz no flame just constructive criticism. Ill take it with a grain of salt/sand or what ever.

You might as well change those slashing feats to toughness too, because I doubt you'll be able to hit anything outside of the harbor.

[Aaxeyu]

What's the point of having that much HP?

The slashing stuff comes from the fighter feats. can't get toughness

[FaSo]

did i count 8 toughnesses?? might want to raise str a bit to hit stuff

[KoduOtaku]

I think its 9 toughnesses. one thing of dex and one thing of cha can also be taken away for STR and all thats not including any items that increase stats. only tomes. and i only added them to make even numbers at lvl 20

[lazyninja81]

From what I've heard, a +4 con tome or any +4 tome may be incredibly wishful thinking. Even +3 tomes require a bit of grinding I believe. Unless of course you already have these tomes, then grats.

Could be a pain to level though since you'll have a lower Str score (even at lvl 20) than my wizard (at lvl 1). But then I've never played a fighter so I don't really know.

Maybe switch this to a finess build. That will help with AC and give you fewer primary stats to worry about.

I would highly recomend dropinping con to 16 puting those points in to str, then maybe even some dex, kuz with fuyll plate at cap you can only get an armor bonus of about 4(thow dont hold me to this not 100% sure) and with a +2 tome +6 item you can get like +3, you will prolly want to put lvl ups in to str aswell as start it at the least 15

but thats imo

1. Yes +4 and 3 tomes can only come from 20th raid rewards, or the small chance they will drop in a raid chest, so if they dont drop in the chest it will take you about 60 days to get one(20 runs, 1 every 3 days due to timer)

2. I agree, it will be hard forh im to lvl with a low str score

3. If he does sswich to a finess build he will still need str to wory about damage, finess only gives him a better chance to hit(bonus to to-hit) not damage

[Shyver]

Ask yourself some questions:

1.) What is this build supposed to do?

2.) Can I hit no-fail intimidate checks?

3.) Can I "hate tank"?

4.) Will my AC be high enough to reduce incoming damage? What will it be?

5.) Will my DR be high enough to reduce incoming damage? What will it be?

6.) Do I really need this many hit points since I'm going to need a healer?

7.) What do I bring to the table that would make PUGs want me in their groups/raids?

8.) Do I have an alternative use (DPS mode, healer mode, ect), or am I a 1 trick pony?

9.) Would I be better off making a high HP barbarian?

[Bilger]

What in the world is the point of this build?

It can do nothing?

Not flaming just curious what the heck ya will do with no strength no dex and no wis = no ac and no dps. All it can do is stand and take damage and be a sponge.

Seriously I understand its your first so what is it this is supposed to do?

[lazyninja81]

3. If he does sswich to a finess build he will still need str to wory about damage, finess only gives him a better chance to hit(bonus to to-hit) not damage

Very true. Just looking for different options if the OP is going to stick with a low Str build. Agree that boosting Str is still the best option.

Never played a tank, but do you need that high of a Cha score to get intimidate high enough to hold aggro?

sponge is it's purpose. For a healer to only focus on one person and only having to heal that person occasionally a healer can also attack.

[Faent]

It's a common misconception that having high hitpoints yields a good tank. If you want to tank, you need to consider AC, DR and Healing Amplification. A high hitpoint low AC mana sponge is a total drain on party resources unless they have massive DR or massive Healing Amp. Why do you think you'll only need occasional heals?

[sweez]

So you're building a 28-point toon and are counting in +4 tomes? Good luck with that.

Indeed. If you can't mitigate alot of the damage anyways, it doesn't help very if it's directed at one player or spread out among the group. Defninatly not worth giving up all your DPS for.

It's also important to be able to take hold aggro in an efficient way, either through intimidate or hate tanking, or both.

[AylinIsAwesome]

I can honestly say I would never take this character in a raid. Not even Tempest Spine.
