Jaerlach's time progression

[drwranck]

By popular demand, here is a thread dedicated to the progression of the "Jaerlach build" by Junts. This is by no mean my work, and all credits goes to Junts for his hard work and dedication.


I will start by quoting Junts himself.
"This isn't a guide. The paladin guide is a guide. This is a build thread, so I try to reflect what it's got. I do have a few paragraphs on initial stat distribution for new players, though. In general, a new player can do alright with this build as long as they spend their early time prioritizing the dps and let the ac come later instead of vice-versa.'

"This isn't a build for 99.9% of players on here. This is the character I actually play. It's posted to provide ideas and information to people with similar characters, even those lacking some of the equipment, as you can see from Sephi's post. The OP makes it pretty clear you can't just roll this up and play it anymore"

[drwranck]

Now updated for Update 1, the infinite self healing tank

In addition to the elite-quality armor class and ability to intimidate if necessary, the build now incorporate the torc and self-cast healing (150-210 points for cure serious wounds) to function as a mana battery: capable of soloing shavarath quests on elite and self-healing throught Abbot infernos. Grazing hits proc the torc and concordant opposition, so the mana keeps pouring in even when mobs can't break the armor class.

You'll find things in the following order: basic stats, feats, skills, enhancements, equipment, and ac/sckill breakdowns

[drwranck]

This is the first update to this build post in quite a while, because I've been really, really lazy. The changes are fairly significant to what had been in this thread previously, primarily due to the lesser reincarnation to a straight 20 paladin build. However, the build maintains its same functionality: It threat tanks, it's still specced to heal itself, and it's traded what had been a mediocre intimidate for a fairly worthwhile DPS mode.

Without Denieth marks and enhancements and no fighter enhancements, a low 60s intimidate was fairly irrelevant, and I used threat for pretty much every situation that wasn't groups of trash mobs. With a mid-40s intimidate now, I can still do that and have improved the threat tanking (via capstone and divine sacrifice 3) and dps output considerably. Outside of not evading, this is a really flexible build, and I've enjoyed doing some things on it I hadn't really intended when I planned it out: like thf hate tanking at 70 ac with power attack in easier raids or when faced with really significant DPS characters. Using thf and divine sacrifice, I've been able to out-threat the very best damage dealers in my guild without any kind of head start. I'm still not using my best threat weaponry, either (No shards for epic sos or epic xuum yet), so this's only going to improve going forward.

This remains a 32 pt build because it is a record of the character I am playing. It could easily be improved as a 34 or 36 pt character, and the statistic layout would certainly be different for other players. However, with a full suite of +3/4 tomes on the character, the benefit of upgrading to a 36 pt build would actually be a statistical loss for 300+ raids. If I were ever to acquire spare tomes of +3 or better in every statistic where I benefit, I would tr twice to a 36 pt character and use them again. However, barring acquiring a whole set from shroud 20s and tod 40ths and the like, I will be staying 32.

People interested in making this build should consult the very bottom of the post, where I'll discuss what statistical layouts are appropriate for someone who isn't building their statistics around +3 and +4 tomes (especially the +4 charisma tome). I've also chosen not to take divine might 4: I'd need to drop a strength bracket to get it, and I'd rather have 1 hit, 1 damage and spend 0 AP than get 0 hit, 2 damage and spend 4 action points. It simply improves the build more, especially for epic quests, where I'm pretty much able to never turn off power attack. With the change to epic mob to hit, it's also pretty easy to become unhittable for epic trash, though I rarely find this necessary in a good group; its easier to two-hand and kill the held stuff. It is, however, a nice option if something's going badly.

Bracers: Chaosgarde (dodge +2), Epic Bracers of the Hunter (sneak attack +5)
Ring1: Band of Siberys (6 strength, 1 charisma, healing amplification, 2 ac set bonus)

Trinket: Epic Bloodstone

Armor: Epic Red Dragonplate: Socketed Greater Nimbleness, +6 charisma

Shield: Epic Kundarak Warding Shield, socketed +7 ac and Good Luck, Epic Shield of the Scorpion (for gtr spearblock)

Weaponry:

Mineral 2 Khopesh: Insight 4
Lightning 2 Khopesh: Insight 4

Epic Sword of Shadows, silvered: main DPS weapon
Epic Xuum, cold iron: Because making two epic SoS is indulgent, even for a build planning to use like 20 epic items. And a better weapon for fire-vuln mobs.

Because I don't wish to make a 2handed dual shard weapon that would be replaced by my epic weapons, right now I'm using an epic antique greataxe: Its roughly the same damage output as a mineral2 greataxe vs things that have acid resistance, due to its very high base damage.

I'll also be making some epic weaponry that isn't essential. I'll make my first epic chaosblade here as a vorpal/high end ac-mode dps weapon for soloing, and I'll probably make an epic dynastic falcata to make it cold iron and have something for tharakk hounds or demons i want to be in ac mode against.

The helms are interchangable: The shining crest is Minos Legens on steroids, providing greater lore for my healing as well as toughness and a free deathblock. Putting +1 str on the helm of the red dragon means its +2 str to wear it in dps situations, meaning that in straight DPS gear I'll run 40 strength before titan's grip with full sneak attack, seeker, and an epic SoS/xuum that break all raid boss DR. Its not quite the same as the same build as a KOTC, but for a character who's DPS mode is their 3rd priority, it's incredibly good. Its also more flexible than KOTC dps builds against non-outsider damage, making it a more flexible damage-dealer for epic content. Big Top provides a UMD bonus to help make up for the UMD I've shed through giving up Command and my old skill focus: UMD. Chimaera's Crown lets me max out my ac in a rangerless party for nothing but the loss of my toughness, which is rarely required anyway. I have some free colorless slots on a couple helms: I'd probably put +1 wis in them for a few bonus SP, as nothing else seems even a tiny bit useful.

Especially in tank mode, the saves on this build are incredibly high, well into the range of being meaningless numbers (the buffed numbers are over 40 in every category).

The AC and skill breakdowns will follow the enhancement layout for those interested in the specifics.

New Character advice

A gear layout that's more modest, especially one that isn't based on the red plate, is a lot easier to do: only 20 dex, not 22, is necessary for even the other epic armors. This makes it easier to go 12 dex and drop to 16 strength to bring charisma to 16 for a new build. It'll also be necessary for those players to find one more point for intelligence, so it might be easier to go to 15 str and keep the 13 dex: then you can hit 20 with regular spectral gloves before you get your epics, too. A 15/13/14/11/8/16 build is probably the way to go for a new 32 pt build.

If you are a 34 or 36 pointer, you should spend those points bringing back strength. A 16 str is very good (a 34 pt) so that you are back at a bracket with just a +2 tome (putting you 1 tome, 1 base behind me, so just 2 points).This is the kind of build that benefits a lot from doing a lesser reincarnation after you've raided a while and really started to tome twink, since almost everything is based on a minimum-required statistic (dex, int, cha).

I have no commentary on your action points. Action points are variable and easy to reset. What's best for you will depend on particulars of your equipment and exactly what you're doing at a given time. You need to learn to figure that stuff out yourself. With a character like this, you'll adjust all your AP every time you get a new item or tome to take advantage of AP savings offered by human stat enhancements.

I have no comments on other racial variants. I think the human healing amplification and feat are very important to doing this particular build. I would not want to make the commitment to 12 con for a drow build. I don't think
the elven falchion advantage is significant either, since both it and drow bonuses cost a lot of AP that you simply do not have. Human healing amp I + 1 feat + better stat enhancements = win.

Updated: 17 Dec 2010.

This build is now updated to current, reflecting changes in equipment, paladin access to intimidate, and the transition to a 36 point build.

Weaponry:

Mineral 2 Khopesh: Insight 4
Lightning 2 Khopesh: Insight 4

Epic Sword of Shadows, silvered: main DPS weapon

Epic Chaosblade, silvered: Main threat-tanking weapon

Major gear swaps:

Sevenfingered+epic big top is 39 UMD. Ravager ring+belt and ring of venom provide DPS mode, along with Claw Bracers+gloves. In tanking mode, the epic gem of many facets allows continued completion of the claw set bonus (4 damage, 20% threat) as well as completion of the epic Siren's set, providing insight 4 when using either the epic sword of shadow or the epic chaosblade. The chaosblade is, accordingly, a better threat weapon than the mineral2 khopesh by a fair margin. These combine to significantly improve threat-tanking ability. Hyena claw provides intimidate and toughness and can be socketed +1 con to provide 20 additional hit points.

The helms are interchangable: The shining crest is Minos Legens on steroids, providing greater lore for my healing as well as toughness and a free deathblock. Putting +1 str on the helm of the red dragon means its +2 str to wear it in dps situations, meaning that in straight DPS gear I'll run 40+ strength before titan's grip with full sneak attack, seeker, and an epic SoS that break all raid boss DR. Its not quite the same as the same build as a KOTC, but for a character who's DPS mode is their 3rd priority, it's incredibly good. Its also more flexible than KOTC dps builds against non-outsider damage, making it a more flexible damage-dealer for epic content. Big Top provides a UMD bonus to help make up for the UMD I've shed through giving up Command and my old skill focus: UMD.

Especially in tank mode, the saves on this build are incredibly high, well into the range of being meaningless numbers (the buffed numbers are over 40 in every category).

In addition to covering the armor class and damage, the healing amplification is also extremely high: 20% from human, 30% from claw, 20% more from tod ring, 5% from paladin and 10% from the airship buff create 216% healing amplification. With a +2 str ring instead of the healing amp ring, it's a mere 180%. Combining the 85-90 armor class with healing amplification on that level ensures that the waves of exhaustion fix does not make tanking overly difficult.
