Notable Equipment (Same for both builds)
White Dragonplate Armor
Natural Armor Bonus +3 Bracers of Dodge Bonus +2
Health +6 Ring of the Archmagi
Feather Falling Boots of Reflex Save +5
Ogre Power +6 Gloves of Fortitude Save +5
Dexterous +6 Ring of Spell Resistance (20)
Disease Immunity Belt of Will Save +4
Cloak of the Zephyr
Shimmering Arrowhead
Finger Necklace
Shining Crest of St. Markus
Intricate Field Optics
+5 Shocking Burst Scimitar of Maiming
+5 Life Shield Darkwood Heavy Wooden Shield of Greater False Life

[Lauf]

after a glance, some things you might want to take into consideration:

resistance bonuses do not stack, so all these items

Natural Armor Bonus +3 Bracers of Resistance +5
Feather Falling Boots of Resistance +5
Disease Immunity Belt of Reflex Save +5
Unbalancing Cloak of Resistance +5
Spectacular Optics (+4 reflex saves)

are redundant.


same goes for spell point items, so
+5 Thorn Guard Darkleaf Leather Armor of Power X
Health +6 Ring of the Archmagi

would only count as the greater of the two (archmagi), making the power X pointless.

hope this helps

You may want to look at getting to level 15 with the Druid. It will give you Heal as a spell.

I myself am going Druid 16/Monk 2/Fighter 2. If you want more details on my build, let me know and I will share.

[unbongwah]

+6 (Ogre Power Gloves)
+6 (Bulls Strength and Rams Might)

Ogre Power & Bull's STR will not stack; same thing with +6 CON item and Bear's Endurance and +WIS item & Owl's WIS later in your build. OTOH, barb Rage and Rage spell will stack, so that's another +2 STR & CON.

Maximum dex would always be 8 (Saw no reason to raise it)

You may want to crunch the AC numbers; it's possible in heavy Dragonplate (which is non-metal AFAIK and therefore druid-viable) it might be worthwhile to pump up DEX a little. Especially since I'm not sure why you put so many pts into WIS for what's not an offensive caster.

I don't see the Natural Fighting feat; this will boost your wolf/bear DPS and can be taken up to 3 times. Also, I believe natural attacks count as unarmed, which means you want the Blunt feats not the Slashing ones; but definitely double-check that - don't take my word for it.

[Doomwafflez]

Unbongwah-
Thank you for telling me about the buffs and the items not stacking

I figured they would stack -shrugs-

As for natural fighting, It wouldn't let me take it twice in the planner, Ill try to find away around it and fit the natural fighting x3 in there

And i will research on the Blunt/Slashing thing, I went slashing cause I'm using a scimmy

And what would you recommend for stats?
---------------------
Jortann-

I will definitely have to take that into consideration,
Heal can definitely come in handy alot.
---------------------
Lauf-
Yeah i did have a rather poor gear choice now that i look at it, ill be changing it, thank you for pointing out that they don't stack, ill also be fixing my kinda random enhancements up a bit,
---------------------

Any recommendations to make the build better?
Should i keep the barb lvl at the end, or is just being able to rage once pretty useless, or should i instead get rid of the fighter lvls and replace them with barb levels, Gimmeh all yer suggestions people ^_^

[jortann]

I would say barbarian is not worth it for the mini-rages. I am sure others would argue this but it really comes down to play style and how much button mashing you like to do.

As for my build, if you are looking for other ideas, I skipped the animal forms and I am Two-Weapon Fighting in Fire Elemental form. If you are looking for some type of Battle-Mage this might be the route to go. If you are set on wolf form, I don't have much help for you as I did not go that route.

[unbongwah]

Thank you for telling me about the buffs and the items not stacking

In general, same-type bonuses do not stack; only the highest applies. There are all kinds of different bonuses in DDO - enhancement, morale, luck, profane, guild, etc. - so you have to pay attention. Making matters worse, the enhancement bonuses from items & spells (which won't stack) are not the same as the bonuses from class & racial Enhancements (which will stack). Turbine continues the grand D&D tradition of overloading the vocabulary.

As for natural fighting, It wouldn't let me take it twice in the planner, Ill try to find away around it and fit the natural fighting x3 in there

You're not allowed to take Natural Fighting until druid lvl 9; that may mess up your feat progression.

And i will research on the Blunt/Slashing thing, I went slashing cause I'm using a scimmy

In wolf/bear form, your melee weapons are replaced with your natural attacks; any magical effects from your weapons are transferred over, but the base dmg type etc. is based on your animal form. Also the PRR & double-strike bonuses from Shield Mastery feats will transfer over.

Note:
The damage effects are from your main weapon only. Other non-damaging effects from your shield can apply (ie spell power/ DR/ resistance).
Your natural attacks are considered blunt attacks.

[Doomwafflez]

So would kensei help me do more dmg?
Or is it useless since all my attacks are converted to natural?

[Doomwafflez]

By the way i updated the original build and made a barbarian version. So check em out, Gimme feedback
