Zerjmoar - 18/2 Fighter/Monk Helf Pal Dille Stalwart Tank

[LolWutRoflstomped]

The changes to Stalwart and the increased need for solid tanks combined with my boredom has finally pushed me to make a new character. I looked at 12/6/2 Fight/Pal/Rog or Monk or 18/2 Fight/Pal for the longest time then suddenly today 18/2 Fighter/Monk Helf Pally Dille popped into my head as the perfect fit (you were right Volthar!).
Yes I do plan to buy 5 +3 Tomes for this character. No this thread is not for the discussion of purchase of +3 tomes. The name is simply my characters name. Feel free to make any comments you feel like as long as it doesn't pertain to buying +3 tomes.

[Arshan]

Thazok's next life. Let's go grind fer eChimera

Just got shard silly :P

[rest]

I had this idea weeks ago!


LMK when you're doing eSmall Problem. I need to come steal your brawns and grims seals for Krombie. You wont need em for a while you're on your first life still

I'd take imp sunder over stunning blow. If you were going to take either of them. Could probably drop bullheaded for it. Isn't 79 enough intimi for anything?

Whatcha gonna slot in Grim's?

Imp Sunder! Good call knew I was forgetting something! LOB is higher than 80 on higher difficulty's I believe... I need Grims seal still silly :P Dropped Skill Focus Intim for Imp Sunder as it wasn't even listed in the 81 intim and I value 1 will save over 1 intim. If necessary will swap Bullheaded for SF Intim for higher difficulty raids.

[Jahmin]

As discussed:

PL is ml3, so swap FoP & Barb PL
Bullheaded is not a Ftr Bonus, so swap with Shield Mastery (which is a Ftr feat) @ same lvl

Go with a Maul for your 3xPos = gDisruption and becomes your Undead Weapon (and Raise Clickie)

Consider THF line (tight squeeze I know)


Otherwise, an outstanding build. Very solid.

[LolWutRoflstomped]

Fixed some numerical errors. Thanks Volthar.

[MyHumps]

silly!

[LolWutRoflstomped]

silly!

ur silly

[rest]

Oh. Get 400 coin lord favor for +2 more intim.

[Royalties]

hi

[LolWutRoflstomped]

Oh. Get 400 coin lord favor for +2 more intim.

O ya thanks.

[MyHumps]

duuuuuuuh

[LolWutRoflstomped]

Added THF AC and changed gear a tiny bit. Also added THF AC mode gear swaps. Interestingly enough by adding except wisdom and conc opp and swapping to Icy and Siren's Belt while THF I only lose 2 AC THFing.

So then why not just stay thf the whole time?

[Arshan]

You dont slot + 1 exc CON ? (already slotted on my baphomet you know... i'm cheap on tokens too as far as most of my gear is already slotted)

No need to

EDIT

Changed gear after relooking at AP and stats etc. Will need to slot excep con instead of excep cha and take helf paladin cha enhancement.

Would love feedback/ideas from people besides in game friends who were linked the build :P

You dont have SUPER, UBER or ULTIMATE in your thread name, your build can't be good... (caps-lock is important too).
