Ok, I've used the search feature a small amount, but I'm going to post this to see if I can get any help faster. What is the best build for Saves? I tried making a decent toon for it (42 60 42 at lvl 15 so far) But I'm convinced they can go much higher. I'm wondering if anyone can point me in a decent general direction.

Because you should be very well off with what you have now.

I'd think Paladin 2 (charisma bonus to all, strong Fort), Monk 18 for the highest general saves. I think Pal 3/Monk 17 give the same saves.
If you want to push Reflex slightly higher at the expense of Will you could take 1 level of Ranger instead of Monk18 or Pal 3.
No real analysis... just my off-the-cuff reading.

Agreed with Post number 2.
You will do fine with those saves at end game, if it is just a flavor build wanting to see how high you can get your saves, post 3 will most likely help you.

Probably something like this would be the max. I didn't fill out the skills. 38/38/41 naked and unbuffed, with an extra +4 vs poison and +3 vs fear, +4 to all saves whenever Resilience is active. Then add on all your equipment, buffs, action boost, stand by a high lvl pally who doesn't know how to spend his action points wisely, etc.

18 paladin/1monk/1fvs with the same stats/feats would be higher. The 12/6/2 does have higher base saves (16/13/13), but while the 18/1/1 would only be 15/10/10, it also gets +6 from pali aura and +3 from defensive stance. Originally Posted by Stanley_Nicholas

Hmm, good point. I forgot defender stance gives a bonus to saves. The aura bonus could come from a pocket pally though, haha. And the loss of 2 monk feats would mean dropping Resist Poison and something else, probably Bullheaded (the horror!). An 18/1/1 would still just eke out a couple extra points on his saves under ideal conditions. Originally Posted by Monkey_Archer

I have a 43/41/51 2 monk/2 paladin/16 sorc with a +5 item and gh for +4 more. FOP of course. CHA comes to 36.
The build should be pretty obvious, so posting it is kinda pointless.
Lots more to go once cha is capped.Last edited by LordTigerDawn; 08-05-2011 at 08:54 PM.

Don't forget Walk of the Sun and Halfling Hero's Companion, while we're adding in buffs from other sources.

I'm not doing it for bragging rights so much as I just don't like being hit. Those saves are with self buffs, gh, holy aura, haste, and another couple. My toon is going to finish out at 12 Rogue/4 monk/4 pally. I'm doing the build for fun, to see what I can create with what knowledge I have of the game. Without those spell buffs, she can hit 36 47 37 standing, before I use either the +10 Madness effects (would only give me +7 to either will or reflex do to the Icy Raiment, and only one or the other. But, it's still +7) I have not tried using a full ships buffs plus full raid spell buffs to see what I will hit, but judging from the general reaction, what I can accomplish now is more than enough. Now, to work on AC for trash protection and DPS for....well DPS. I crit for 90+ right now in wind stance (I feel this sucks hard) at lvl 16 (just hit 17, havent tested) and do between 30-60 normally per hit if I get sneak. I also use the Charged gauntlets, so this is added to that crit number. I have whirling steel strike and weapon finesse, but I think I'm going to get 2 sunblades and just not be centered when I fight with them, until I can get 2 GS blades. I love my toon, but I need to LR her when I hit 20 and tweak some minor things, mostly feat list. She is really good at being a rogue, has 22 cha so LoH goes for 92, which i use up real fast only having 2. But, it is enough to get out of a tight spot and run. She is a good solo toon, and is good at trash cleanup (I use Unstable Handwraps and a +2 Paralyzing Handwraps of Deception with Festival Icy Burst on them depending on the quest) I appreciate the feedback, thank you

I like having very high reflex saves. Super high will and fort probably isnt very useful.
Wherever you went - here you are.
