The Midget Hurler (THF halfling barb 18 / ftr 2 thrower)

[unbongwah]

No, not a hurler OF midgets (wise@$$es ), a midget who hurls things. It's based on a suggestion from Anneliese in this thread. So if you like it, thank her; and if you think it's LOLWUT, blame her, not me! The idea is to take advantage of halfling DEX (to get IPS) & throwing bonuses on a FB who can still put out decent THF melee DPS. Essentially it trades the THF feats for ranged feats instead; so this is obviously a novelty build for fun, not a minmaxed DPS build.

The feat order can be tweaked; e.g., swapping Cleave & Brutal Throw so you can take FB PrE a lot sooner. [My view is FB I is "meh" while FB II is "WOHOO!" thus why I delay it.] PBS is really only taken because it's a pre-req for Prec Shot, which in turn is a pre-req for IPS; so they could be delayed until much later. Basically, take your ftr 2 splash when you want those feats (+Haste Boost + 1 STR enh); I decided to take it ASAP. The final feat is also subject to debate; instead of Toughness, you could take Imp Crit Slash for better melee DPS, Rapid Shot for a faster throwing rate, or even Stunning Blow.

Had enough fun making the first build that I thought I would try one with a rogue splash for UMD & Evasion. I also tried to achieve better parity between melee & thrown DPS; can't decide if this makes it more well-rounded or just more gimped. Biggest drawback is this build doesn't take Brutal Throw until lvl 20 which I'm not happy about; but I can't decide what I'd be willing to delay to take it sooner. I'm basically hoping the high base DEX, halfling throwing enhs, and high BAB mean she won't have trouble hitting things, even w/out BT earlier, esp. when flanking.

You'll have more fun in the character planner than playing this character.

If you're playing a thrower or bow user as an FB3 barbarian, you just don't understand the class (or efficiency in DDO for that matter).

[unbongwah]

What part of "novelty build for fun" confused you?

[Fire_Godd]

I think you may have hurt Carpone's feeling by actually having fun in the game, whereas it seems he's a copyBuilder trying to keep up -_-.

I like the build. Very awesome to play, brings a lot of fun into the game and it definitely makes you think more strategically.

Good build, mate.

[unbongwah]

Holy $#!t - someone's actually using this crazy build?!

Err, I mean - I'm glad you like it!
