DoomSong Build

[totabc]

Been getting a lot of questions about my main character's build "Iplaye" so I figured instead of retyping everything every time to just post it.
First to start, the base for this build was given to me by Sergod. I have just changed it a little and made it my own.
Please keep in mind this is meant for a 36 point build with Wizard and Bard past lives.

Goals
-Epic crowd control capability
With this build I've solo CCed: eDA, eDeeps, eTTT, etc. *Note* Without using mana pots.
-Decent Dps
Dps wise your not going to be top dps but getting as much as you can helps your usefulness.
-Epic healing capability
I've also solo healed Shroud, eDA, eTTT, etc. But keep in mind you are probably not going to do this very often and I wouldn't recommend it unless you know your group well and they have the proper self sufficiency/healing amp. *Note* Again without using mana pots.

I've such a hard on for your build.

Tring nairs nao!

I've such a hard on for your build.

Tring nairs nao!

dont you think you should finish your other 3 trs first?

[qc_sebyos]

I like the CC and healing, I'm just worried about buffs without inspired damage 3 ans at least inspired attack 2. It seems to me like song of courage is the core of the bard and a raid with a pure healer and a bard with almost maxed courage that drops a few cure medium mass is gonna help the raid so much more. After all, inspire courage with maxed damage and uped attack totally changes a raid.

That being said, being able to be the CC and the Healer must be really nice in epic dungeons so i kind of see this as a great epic dungeon build, but not an optimal raid build.

very true, but dps is dps

[Lavek]

I love having iplaye in my groups

does dips and does cc in every content we run
jack of all trades yo!

[Teharahma]

I would swap the +2 Good luck on cloak to the Boots, and the Toughness to cloak.
ToD etc.

[wax_on_wax_off]

Suggestions:
Drop:
Improved Recovery I/II (6)
Energy of Music IV (4)

Take:
Inspired Attack I (2)(if you're in melee then you won't be hitting on a 2)
Inspired Damage II (2)
Song Magic IV (4)
Lyric of Incredible Song I (1)

Try to fit in:
Inspired Attack III (10) (this is the single biggest DPS increase in many groups in challenging content)
Inspired Damage III (3) (this is good when you're hitting anyway)
Lyric of Incredible Song II (2) (4/2/2 is a sweet spot for investments and it will help your healing)

Gear:
Swap to Epic Bracers/Gloves of the Claw (same HP but 30% heal amp to make up for no improved recovery).

Spell penetration looks really low.

[Aashrym]

Suggestions:
Drop:
Improved Recovery I/II (6)
Energy of Music III/IV (7)
Improved Concentration II (2)

Take:
Inspired Attack II (6)(if you're in melee then you won't be hitting on a 2)
Inspired Damage II (2)
Song Magic IV (4)
Lyric of Incredible Song II (3)

Gear:
Swap to Epic Bracers/Gloves of the Claw (same HP but 30% heal amp to make up for no improved recovery).

Spell penetration looks really low.

Concentration II and Energy of the Music III are PrE req's for spellsinger. Freeing up 10 AP just on those extra song enhancements when they are not getting MotD or MotM for him might be an idea to fit in more IC enhancements.

EDIT; second quick glance and the build is a bit low on spell penetration.
