Advocatus Diaboli, a tank/healer/solo capable build.

[Xenostrata]

NOTE: This is the second version of this build, and I really like the improvements all the changes have made. The original was 12fvs/6mnk/2pal, and I'll list the pros/cons of the new build over the old one later.
NOTE#2: Any numbers here are working with the absolute minimum of gear, so don't take them at face value. Updated numbers will be posted later.

Advocatus Diaboli v2.0: 12FvS/6Mnk/2Rog Drow, Lawful Neutral

Starting Stats (30 points):
Str - 14

20. Rogue - 1 intimidate, 8 umd, 1 open lock

The following are stats/abilities assuming the BARE MINIMUM of gear/tomes. A separate post will show what a properly geared character can do.
Ending Stats:
Str - 14 base + 2 tome + 6 item = 22
Dex - 18 base + 2 tome + 3 enhancements + 6 item + 5 level ups = 34
Con - 12 base + 2 tome + 6 item = 20
Wis - 14 base + 2 tome + 2 enhancements + 6 item = 24
Int - 12 base + 2 tome = 14
Cha - 10 base + 2 tome + 2 enhancements + 6 item = 20

HP - 156 base + 20 Heroic Durability + 100 Con + 60 enhancements + 22 feat + 30 GFL + 45 GS + 10 Argo Favor + 20 toughness item = 463 Unbuffed HP.

AC - 10 base + 12 Dex + 7 Wis + 6 feats + 2 monk + 5 protection + 7 armor + 4 shield clicky + 1 alchemical dodge + 2 recitation + 1 stance = 57 self buffed
+ 1 haste + 5 aura + 5 bark + 4 song = 72, buffed by others. Assuming no halfling with Heroes Companion.
This is WITHOUT any hard to obtain gear (all this assumes you have is the +2 tomes for stats, +7 bracers, +5 protection item, and a couple of easily obtained collectibles, all of which require no grinding. Oh, also a korthos clicky/wand of shield). Don't be put off by these numbers, they will be updated in the gear post.

Enhancements:
At the choice of the player; however, the toughness, drow shortsword, and monk stance enhancements are critical. Also, all stat enhancements should be taken to ensure all stats are even. In the current 0 gear setup, that means all of them except for FvS charisma 3.

There will be two more foreseeable posts, one for pros/cons and one for gear and updated numbers.

It looks like a pretty solid build, however consider TR'ing or shelving him come U9 http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=308780 Not trying to Troll or anything

Hmmm. I looked at the description and actually thought it would work better with this build (sounds like it should stick to me almost regardless of score, with length of time for others to reestablish aggro dependant on my intimidate) so I'm hoping this is a bug. I'm sure the devs will post a reason for the problems or if it is WAI.

In the meantime, the high self buffed AC and saves, in addition to the self healing, still make this a very solo-friendly toon.

Of course it should be a bug, just giving you a heads up.

Thanks for the heads up then :P

Note: Added weapon finesse, forgot to include as 3rd level feat.

Link added to the Light version of this build, the Acta Sanctorum.

Edited out nonstacking deflection bonus from SoF

monk2 /18 fvs already has enough ac, and saves to tank anything ingame. you cannot get rid of that 5% fail.
so 2 pally wont be as usefull as it sounds in this build.
6 monk wont be as good as 14-> 18 fvs in SP, spells, etc.

why drow? 34 pt build? hmm so its an 3rd life?
id rather go for 36pt halfling, elf, or warforged.

dex is sufficient as 16 or 15(wf). as you only need 17 for greater 2 weapon fighting.
and gives enough ac to do whatever you want.

12 con is more then plenty.. if you have decent amount of ac. although this is going to kick you early on in the game.

If I was going to make 2mnk/18fvs, I wouldn't be posting it, there are already plenty on the forums.
Pally is also for complete access to the intimidate skill, which neither the monk or FvS get access to.
34 Points is a typo, the stats themselves use only 30 points.
I am thinking about throwing 2 points from dex into int to avoid that annoying +3 tome, plus opening up UMD for some access to RR items.
This is a Weapon Finesse build, needs the dex for attack and AC. Not going to skimp there.
Also, what is sufficient for endgame raids and quests now might not be in future updates. If new, more accurate monsters come out it will be nice to have the AC to ignore them (same is true for if new ways to boost AC - will want most possible to be able to tank epics).

Pros of v2.0:
Full UMD.
Access to shortswords at level 11 (when those twinked GS shortswords become available) instead of 16.
Access to Heal at level 19 instead of 20. Useful for that little chunk of time.
Better DPS through SA, which makes stealing aggro that much easier.
Cons:
Fewer HP.
Lower Saves.

Classes:
Stick with Paladin. It will boost saves, and rogue will be totally useless except for a 1d6 or if your planning to do traps. Open Lock wont do much since you wont be able to increase it as you level. Otherwise, evasion already comes with monk. Which type of monk are you going for? in update 9, i heard healing ki will be based off monk levels.

Skills:
UMD-its provided for rogue as a favored skill, but do you really need this part? you can already heal.
Balance-Since your intimitank, you should get balance, since certain mobs have trip and you wont be able to jump back up quickly and heal-A skill to consider.

Feats:
Feats look good except extend/Maximize-what would you use these for? Buffs wont much good.
Combat expertise vs power attack?-Defense vs Damage? your choice.

Overall, I love how you chose drows and shortswords:
Race bonus, FVS bonus, and Monk Bonus. The dps with those three bonuses will be impressive if you take power attack. I've seen the numbers with a elven kensai paladin using scimitars, 30 on regular, above 100 with dps bursts.

I like rogue more than pally because this class will suffer DPS wise, and an extra d6+enhancements of damage will be helpful for stealing aggro. Also, with my FvS+Monk levels and high dex score, my saves don't really need all that much help. Going for Dark monk, its the only way to get shortswords as ki weapons.

UMD will prove useful since this class will be very good at soloing, and access to arcane buffs will make that much easier. Balance is ok, but it is based on Dex and it seems like overkill to pump that skill when it gets a huge bonus already.

Extend and maximize are for playing spot healer and buffer. Extend will be almost exclusively used to keep recitation going, a short but essential buff that boosts AC. Maximize is for healing, and it is included for qualifying for the new PrE coming out, should someone want to take that.

Power attack might be worth trading in instead of Combat Expertise, but only if you have most or all of the gear on this list. The 90+ AC is overkill in most situations, but the +5 from CE will help you get up there when you aren't fully geared yet. If you play this toon to cap and manage to get all the best gear, then I would suggest using a free feat swap to grab power attack instead, since this build doesn't have the health to tank elite ToD, which is really the only place where the high AC is needed.
