Purpose built Earth Savant

[Jaid314]

this has been reported on the forums, but you should probably keep on bug reporting it until it gets fixed.

Go half-elf with paladin dilettante. Self heal with wands and healing amp, by level 13 if you have full human versatility enhancement you should have a decent ability to scroll heal (8 ranks + 12 (18 cha + 3 levels + 5 item + 4 APs + 2 tome + 2 ship buff) + 3 golden cartouche + 1 top hat + 4 GH + 1 Good luck + 5 human versatility = 34; 75% success rate, enough for heal scrolls). By level 20 you'll have 100% with no worries and then the +5 paladin saves will be very valuable. Starting with Favoured Soul Dilettante and swapping to Paladin later is an option too (75% UMD + 85% FvS caster level on heal scrolls = very small chance of failure).

that was actualy my first sorcerer try but he didn't survive that was just before the spell pass though so mebey i should reconsider my sorcerer is level 6 now so no big deal to reroll

I'm still waiting for other builds to catch up to me. Level 14 now and still when I went into tempest spine on elite, lordsmarch chain or whatever if I don't double the next players kills there's something wrong.

Starting with 18 con is pretty crucial. I'm pretty squishy as it is and this is one of the things that saves it. Minos, +5 con item, ship buff etc helps too. Don't have GFL yet, got to work out how to fit that in (261 HP at 14 with rage and ship buff).

Hey WoWo
thx for putting your Builds up,
helps a lot even when you already have some higher Chars

With the current 250tp code and sweet reduce to Charslots
Ive made a Earth Savant and lent some (most^^) of the build from you.
But i have some spots where i got no clue so hope u and other can help.

Str 11 / Dex 8 / Con 17 / Int 8 / Wis 8 / Cha 18 (<-all ups)
+2 Dex Tome (only tome i got atm)
Concentration & UMD

lvl 1 - norm - human / Maximize - Empower
lvl 3 - norm / Toughness
lvl 6 - norm / Spell Focus Conjuration
lvl 9 - norm / Heighten Spell
lvl 12 - norm / Skill Focus UMD
lvl 15 - norm / GSF Conjuration
lvl 18 - norm / Spell Penetration
lvl 21 - epic / Greater Spell Penetration
lvl 24 - epic / unlikely to reach first life

1st: Nightshield, Jump, Expeditious Retreat, Acid Spray
2nd: Web, Resist Energy, Scorching Ray? (Melf or Invisible), Knock
3rd: Acid Blast, Displacement, Haste, Rage
4th: Acid Rain, Firewall (Ice storm), Dimension Door, Burning Blood
5th: Protection from Elements, Niac's Biting Cold, Break Enchantment, Cloudkill
6th: Disintegrate, Flesh to Stone, Circle of Death
7th: Otto's Sphere of Dancing, Prismatic Spray, Finger of Death
8th: Trap the Soul , Polar Ray, Black Dragon Bolt (Otto's Irresistible Dance? Mass Charm Monster?)
9th: Meteor Swarm (Wail), Energy Drain, Power Word Kill


So now my questions are:

UMD:
I think about getting 1 lvl of Rogue for no Fail scrolls or even maybe 2 for evasion.
Is it worth to loose Capstone? how much damage is the capstone? maybe capstone is bugged like most other Capstones now?
I dont plan to stay at cap and i am sure i can get my Reflex safe good enough.
If i take the rogue lvl, i take them at lvl 11 & 12 to get niac before

Spells:
Scorching Ray?
even with Fire Spec it seems week to me when u consider Acid Ball.

Otto's Irresistible Dance?
whats the deal with it? i never considered it cause i got Ball with my wiz so single target seems useless to me. Does it have no Spell resistance check or why? Also BDB seems better choice considering u got only Niacs Planned.

Meteor Swarm?
Wouldnt be Wail better even with low DC u get at least the neg lvl.

Disintegrate?
seems also less usefull to me cause it has such a low damage cap.
reason for it?

plz keep in Mind i got no Epic Destinies and no Expansion content.

hope i didnt get everything to mixed up ^^
and as i wrote this i discovered that i really want to take the 2 rogue lvl.
hope its worth.

greetings Daemon

Stay pure less for the capstone and more for the spell slots, SP and spell penetration.

I wouldn't plan to play a character at level 20 without epic destinies (save your TP for this, not character slots!)

This is an old build before BDB possibly, BDB should definitely be included. OID is great as it has no save unlike ball.

Scorching Ray is a very handy nuke.

Make sure you get a +2 int time before level 8 and use the extra skill points to put 1 rank in tumble and the rest in balance, it'll save your life.

As for the rest of the spells, farm Gianthold Tor for dragonblood and try out different combinations and see what works for you, as mentioned this spell list is likely dated.

New slot was only 188tp with all the reduction and i needed a third to ease tp farming.
I plan on buying ED next well at least if the fix em if not ill get Shared bank.
Got no problem in Epic Hard with my PM so i thought sorc would be also good enough.
Is it harder with sorc?
