My Precious TR Plan

[Phidius]

Posting this build here because I play on 2 different computers, and want to have access to my official plan as I level him up.

Hoping to get a +3 Int tome on his 80th Shroud, but I've put the extra skill points in Gold in the plan below, 'cause I don't really expect to get one. Edit: Didn't get it

This post is not to be interpreted as a guide or recomendation for other players... especially new ones.

Gimp.......

[Phidius]

You're telling me

By the way, thanks to you guys for dragging Gemstone through the speed ToD - always a pleasure.

Those extra trophies are going to Precious

[Jakarr]

I know ya didnt say any suggestions but I'm partial to 17wiz/2monk/1rogue, Still have to use Masters Touch to use Martials, but 1 Extra feat and with the new patch you can take TWF with yer monk lvls also didnt see Toughness on the feats so with the other Monk lvl you can get it for a extra 73 Hp( 4 Racial, 1 Monk tough).

Just my 2 cents

[aradelothion]

I know you said it's not for new players, but I was wondering how you'd allocate the stats on a 32pt build? Also, how does it play at end game? How much of this build's capabilities are dependent on the gear? In any case, thanks for sharing this

1. I'd drop the wisdom down to 6. It sucks in the low levels, but I'm used to that Besides, I don't plan on hanging around there for long.

2. It's hard to say how it does in the end game, as the current version of Precious is a Weapon Finesse build (shudder). He does OK now, but I've been uninspired to play him much ever since I leveled up Gemstone.

3. Most of his capabilities revolve around his gear (Napkin, Torc, Bracers, Docent of Defiance, DT Docent, etc...). However, this is the kind of build I use when I start up a new toon on a new server, as it's much easier to get the good gear with a WF Wiz/Rog. Even without the gear to make them perfect, WF Wiz/Rogs are very powerful (IMHO)

I've got a copy of Precious (named Precocious) that is his identical twin. I'm going to change him into a 17 Wiz/2 Monk/1 Rog, and not worry about traps.

The thing about Master's Touch is that it's bugged, and is prone to being dispelled.

TWF won't be an option for this version of Precious, as I'm done with Weapon Finesse. I wanna see big numbers, the biggest I can get!

Toughness is there at the first level... I figured there's not a whole lot of traps to worry about, so left Insightful Reflexes for level 6. I might switch that around with the Past Life feat, though... we'll see how it goes.

[Kriogen]

Pfft, you can't be Pale Master III

It is for new players. Just not for those that want quick and instant results with no learning. Many times this type of build is hard-mode. But at the same time it's also much more fun. Hard at start, but with some practice/knowladge it's a very fun and powerfull build.

32 points: dump Wis from 8 to 6
28 points: lower Str to 14

At high levels, many times, mobs are super resistant/immune vs spells. Devs are also nonstop finding ways to nerf casters. So lots of times an arcane caster is just a fency "haste potions". OPs build has Haste. At the same time those same mobs are not resistant/immune vs "sword". OPs build has Sword.

Build like this has spells and they work. Not as good as if you'd be pure lvl 20 wizard, but they do work Good Enough(tm). There are cases where spells don't work and for those cases this type of build has Sword.

Gear dependant? As much as any other build.

Deep down, I agree with you. A new player can take a build like this, and take some time to grow into it. Just because you can disable traps doesn't mean you have to, and just because you can cast Web/Hold Monster Mass/Waves of Exhaustion while intimidating and scrolling Heals doesn't mean you have to do it on day 1.

Edit: Upon investigation, I found out that Precious on Cannith has a 14 Con and 15 Str. No biggie...

Kinda the reason I wanted to TR Precious... he'll be one point of SR less than a pure non-TR'ed Wiz, and that's it.

As long as Turbine doesn't start releasing content that presumes everyone has a TR'ed wizard, he should be just fine.

[Phidius]

Gave in to the peer pressure and converted Precious to an enchantment-specced archmage.

I wanted to TR him to get the extra +2 to spell pen, but the loss of +3 tomes already consumed and the horribly un-fun XP grind convinced me to just LR to get a monk level to fit the necessary Toughness in.

Thankfully, Master's Touch is much improved...

I was also thinking to LR my Wiz17/Rog2/Fighter1, but into Wizard17/Monk2/Rogue1. Same feat list as yours, but with Power Attack (monk2).

I was also thinking to LR my Wiz17/Rog2/Fighter1, but into Wizard17/Monk2/Rogue1. Same feat list as yours, but with Power Attack (monk2).

I considered 2 monk for power attack, but decided that I enjoyed the full ranks in UMD/Intimidate more.

Power Attack works very well with a high Enchantment DC for Hold Monster, though.

[Phidius]

Right before Update 9 came out, I burned a heart to respec Precious as an Enchantment Archmage. I got to have fun with it before they nerfed the Enchantment side, but now I want to learn from my mistakes.

1. Get on the bandwagon early - if you wait, you won't be able to enjoy it before it gets nerfed.
2. Flexibility has a power all it's own - specifically, dodging nerfs.

Pale Masters have been OP for quite a while now, so it's too late to get on the bandwagon early. However, for me early is relative - my apologies in advance if they decide to nerf PM right away. Just in case they do, I've included the ability to switch back to Archmage.

I thought about TRing for the extra spell penetration, but I'm pretty close to the end of my rope with DDO so I'm just going to use the last of the Hearts I've been hoarding.
