HORC Fighter minimal Kensai?

[Fedora]

I hope this hasn't been covered before, I didn't see much on the half-orc in the threads.

I was kind of playing around with the CharGen today and wanted to see if a half orc fighter with only Kensai I was viable if he spent all his other enhancements/feat toward Two-Handed fighting and critical bonuses?

I'm no expert, just a casual solo-er. I played for a few months back in 2010 and then just started back up a couple weeks ago. I was hoping someone with more experience could offer an opinion. Any thoughts, ideas, opinions, hints and feedback appreciated, even negative feedback. Thanks!

[Fedora]

After looking over the build a little, I decided to eliminate Fighter Toughness 4 . This way I can work in Kensai 2. I just need to go back and select the enhancements at the most advantageous levels.

Can any experienced players give me some advice?

Thanks.

if you're going pure fighter there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't take all three ranks of your prestige... If you really want help, try posting the build so far, I bet people will be willing to chime in and tell you what enhancements to drop.

You haven't really given any info on the build, click the forum export button and copy paste it.

Thanks Raw, here is the build (please ignore the levels where the enhancements were selected, I did some changes after hitting level 20). No equipment or tomes were included.

drop orcish extra action boost II and III, along with fighter extra action boost II, that'll free up 7 points.
The two tier one action boost enhancements along with kensai 1,2 and 3 will give you 10 action boosts per rest. That's 10 minuttes of continous use of power surge.


On a different note, there's really no need to take 4 toughness feats or spending level up points in con... Pick up cleave and greatcleave. Not only are they fun and powerful, but they also open up for the epic feat overwhelming critical wich adds +1 to your crit multiplier on a roll of 19-20 (that's 4x regular damage with an axe on crits!)
Also consider improved sunder. It's pretty underwhelming in lvl 1-20 content, but it's one of the best DPS increasing abilities in epic raids and would be great as your level 18 feat instead of point blank shot.

*Edit* Just noticed that you picked up 3 fighter weapon specialization enhancements. There's really no need for all 3... You loose a lot by not using your kensei specialized weapon, so just stick to that. If you find an upgrade you can always respec your enhancements for a nominal fee (free at 20+). Also drop AC boost III for strength III. If you're still missing points consider dropping the AC boost completely.

[unbongwah]

If you're going pure ftr DPS, there's absolutely no good reason not to go Kensai III + capstone; you're just needlessly gimping yourself - and for what? AC Boost?

I also don't understand why you spread your stat pts between CON & STR; maybe if you were an SD build going for epic Toughness I'd understand, but for a Kensai, max STR all the way! I think you also went overboard on the extra Toughnesses; I'd rather squeeze in a couple more tactics feats.

I don't see the point in Brutal Throw + PBS; but it would make more sense to take Quick Draw instead of PBS, because not only does that up your throwing speed, it reduces the delay in your action boosts.

[Fedora]

Thanks for both replies, I really really appreciate it!

I'm essentially a noob, I only have about 6 months play time total.

@Rawrargh:
I see what you're saying with Orc extra action boost vs. Kensai3.
Re: Toughness vs Cleave & GCleave - I've never used them before, I will give them a try. Do they work well with TH fighting?
Re: Imp Sunder - I agree its a bit underwhelming in my exp (my highest level I ever reached was 10 on a Pally). Maybe I can make that one of the last picks?
Re: Weapon Specializations - My thoughts were to be able to use whatever uber TH weapon I came across, but you're absolutley right I can respec if needed.
Re: AC3 vs STR3 - my thinking was that I always seemed to have trouble getting good AC and the +15 just looked awesome to me. My lack of playing experience beyond L10 may be to blame for my choice here.


@unbongwah:
Is 3 levels of Fighter Toughness still too much?
I understand STR all the way, thanks!
Brutal Throw and PBS didn't make sense to me either and I knew it was screwed up, but by the time I selected these Fighter bonus feats it was all that was left. I will definately make the changes to select BT and QD.

Thanks again, added rep to you both! :thumb:
EDIT - Forgot to mention, you guys rock!

As I said you can take improved sunder at level 18, that way you'll have it when you start doing raids where the bosses have fortification and the rest of the melee's in the group will love you (if they notice).
About the cleave and greater cleave - YES they work best with a twohander, especially with something like an epic antique great axe where you'll be getting 4d20 on great cleave(!!!)

[Fedora]

Thanks!

Here is Version II of my Half Orc using much of the input you gave. If you have time, once again I'd appreciate input. Also, regarding the skills, (obviously limited for a fighter with low INT) was I okay in maxing UMD every time, increasing jump for a few points, and the remaining going to balance? (I hate getting knocked down).

Building a THF Kensai is usually pretty simple.

Stats: max STR. Dump WIS & CHA. DEX is a dump stat unless you want Precision or Dodge, in which case you need to hit 13 w/tome (e.g., base 11 + 2 tome). Likewise, INT is a dump stat unless you want extra skill pts or Combat Expertise + Imp Trip (INT 13). Everything else goes into CON.

Feats: you need the Kensai pre-reqs (WF/WS/GWS/GWF/SWF) and really want the THF chain, Power Atk, Imp Crit, Cleave/GC/Overwhelming Crit. That leaves about 5 feats left over; I usually add Toughness, a couple of tactics feats, and maybe Power Crit & Quick Draw.

Here's a pretty basic build:

Thank you again for the input. I am learning.

Building a THF Kensai is usually pretty simple.

Stats: max STR. Dump WIS & CHA. DEX is a dump stat unless you want Precision or Dodge, in which case you need to hit 13 w/tome (e.g., base 11 + 2 tome). Likewise, INT is a dump stat unless you want extra skill pts or Combat Expertise + Imp Trip (INT 13). Everything else goes into CON.

Feats: you need the Kensai pre-reqs (WF/WS/GWS/GWF/SWF) and really want the THF chain, Power Atk, Imp Crit, Cleave/GC/Overwhelming Crit. That leaves about 5 feats left over; I usually add Toughness, a couple of tactics feats, and maybe Power Crit & Quick Draw.

Here's a pretty basic build:

Yep, that pretty much sums it up... Lemme give you an HP breakdown to "prove" that one toughness feat is plenty :P

20 Heroic durability
200 Level 20 fighter
50 Epic levels
125 From 20 con
50 Legendary dreadnought
23 Toughness (is it 28 at level 25?)
30 Toughness enhancements
50 Epic toughness

548 HP naked

Add in a +7 con item, +2 insightful con from PDK gloves and helm, a greater false life item, and a toughness item.

125 From +5 con modifier
30 From GFL
20 Toughness item

723 Wich can be boosted by 45 from a greensteel HP item and +10 from superior false life for a standing 778 unbuffed.

With buffs:

25 Rage spell
50 Madstone rage
25 Ship buff

Total of 879 with sustainable buffs (assuming you get a pair of madstone boots).

[Fedora]

Thanks for the breakdown Raw.

548 HP naked

its 22hp from toughness at level 20 and 27hp at level 25
reason: 3@level 1 and 19/24 levels after that give 1hp each
just for future reference
