*UPDATE* A dance with flowers now works while centered using ki weapons. That means your stout oak stick is going to do 4[2d6] weapon damage when you use a dance with flowers (twisted) and improved power attack. Now X5 that damage by adding overwhelming critical and devestating critical. Include 5d6 +9 + dex bonus sneak attack damage. Add 1 to the threat range with pulverizer. Adept of wind gives 10% attack speed and 5% double strike chance PLUS stack on a 10% competence bonus from Acrobat I. This is all on top of the high str HO THF dps and using Lay Waste, Momentum Swing, Whirlwind Attack, Great Cleave, Cleave and Stunning Blow. Can you say excellent dps from a stick build? P.S. let's not forget the awesome KD effect of the stout oak stick as well. Time to start putting some more effort in leveling this build.
ESOS + imp power attack =
Damage: (16-46) 3[2d6] +10
Critical Roll: (15%/48-138) 18-20 / x3
Stout Oak Stick + a dance with flowers + imp power attack + pulverizer =
Damage: (14-54) 4[2d6] +6
Critical Roll: (15%/42-162) 18-20 / x3
I wanted to create a THF build that would include Whirlwind Attack, Great Cleave, and Cleave creating a lot of AOE dps. I needed lots of feats to do this so naturally monk and fighter levels are taken. Also decided to be centered to take advantage of air stance for the 5% to doublestrike so the build uses a quarterstaff. Since it will be using a quarterstaff, I went with rogue levels and acrobat I. I find the build very interesting. Let me know what you think and also if anything in this build is currently broken in game. More detail is below.
Half Orc: High Str 46 (31 + 1 [lvl24 ap] + 1 [lvl24 great str epic feat] + 7 item +3 insight +1 exc + 2 ship buff), Orc Melee Damage II, Orc Str II, Orc PA III, Great Weapon Aptitude III, extra action boost I.
Rogue 7: Thief Acrobat I (dex bonus to sneak attack damage, 10% competence bonus [stacks with haste, melee alacrity, air stance] to attack speed with a staff), 4d6 +9 sneak attack damage, Haste Boost III, Rog Dex II, Uncanny Dodge, passive dodge bonus, trap skills, UMD, evasion.
Monk 6: Extra Feats, Ninja Spy I (Shadow fade, additional 1d6 sneak attack damage), Adept of Air (5% doublestrike, 10% enhancement to attack speed), evasion, disease immunity, run speed, passive dodge bonus, saves.
