The Juggernaut - Prime of the Warforged

[SSFWEl]

Very interesting.

I know one of the main points of this build is WF, but 1) I don't have WF 2) I hate the way they look and 3) I like playing haflings.

So can this be adapted to a fleshy? I would even be willing to go hElf (use the ranger version and take Pally dilly), but I can't bring myself to make a WF.

Or is the repair THAT much better than anything else I can use.

This build goes WF for quickened self reconstructs and the tactics. This ability is very important in the high level end game content that they are running. Not going WF kinda defeats the whole purpose of the build.

We over at Renowned have decided on a new name for this build from now on it will be referred to as the Faek as the creators toon is Haek. Think ill start posting screenies of faeks dying & being out killed and failing to preform to op standards!

I'll only approve of that after you've gotten a proper bow instead of the gimpy little stick you're using at the moment.

[Symerith]

This may be the self Sufficient melee I'm looking for.

I have a WF Ranger on the shelf that was my old Dual Wield Pick build.....

I've got a Deathnip, Min II, Triple Pos, plus a host of others already. I think maybe a TWF Dual Pick version could be fun. I've got a set of tome pages as well so I could pick up a new Deathnip as well.

very cool concept.

New deathnips are so hot!!! And the looks... I'm a fan.

I just can't wait to find a proper build to fit them in

Plenty of builds on the boards for those who want to go fleshie, particularly if willing to go HElf for AA. It seems that I can't take 2 steps before I run into a Monkcher with a Pinion in Eveningstar...

But yeah, this build is probably not the one you are looking for. Reconstructs are a major feature of the build.

I don't have monk, but interested in changing my melee soul into this build. Would this work, or no monk is a deal breaker?

The evasion is extremely nice, and this sucks down a prodigious amount of feats, monk helps with that too.

[Viisari]

I don't have monk, but interested in changing my melee soul into this build. Would this work, or no monk is a deal breaker?

After a quick scan I don't see any of the really important feats missing. You lose evasion but gain paladin saves which is almost as good.

You do also lose stunning blow which, while is nice to have, can be tough to get work well for EE's.

[Bacab]

New deathnips are so hot!!! And the looks... I'm a fan.

I love the LOOK of Deathnips too.

My question for anyone...

On this build, I have a set of tomes lying around...

It seems the easiest build to use TWF would be the RNG version because you can save feats.

Anyway, I think 2 Deathnips is kinda redundant.

But you would go with Imp Crit Piercing...

What other weapon would you use? I was thinking maybe the new "Treason" that is called.... Rebellion...
http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Rebellion


or Balizarde?

Anyway, what other nice "Piercing" weapons are out there?

[aristarchus1000]

Actually ranger gives you rapid shot and bow strength for free, and doesn't force you to take weapon focus, so you actually come out ahead in feats compared to the two you get as monk.

You lose evasion. You do get a few other benefits as well. Particularly if you are thinking of going twf like some people in this thread.

The two main builds are...

16Arty/2MNK/2PLD

or

16Arty/2MNK/2RNG

I suppose though...

16Arty/2PLD/2RNG

Gives you good saves and you kinda wedge those lost MNK feats. Obviously, you lose the evasion.

But 16Arty/2PLD/2RNG could work (just not as well as the build with 2 MNK)

Heck a 16Arty/2FTR/2RNG would work somewhat..give more feats...just lack evasion and Divine Grace.

2Ftr/2Rgr would lose a lot in saves vs. the Pal version. 2Monk/2Rgr is just about workable from a reflex save point of view, but 2Ftr tanks those saves. Lack of evasion notwithstanding, low reflex saves are going to get you a heap of damage that the build isn't well placed to take (due to tensers, you have to be able to survive twice as long between reconstructs).

I could definitely see the 2Pal/2Rgr version as an interesting variant however, particularly if you're able to slot in enough absorption gear to make the loss of evasion a non-issue. Usually if evasion isn't a concern, you'd look to equip heavy armor, but the big downside on a WF is that the adamantine body feat is terrible vs. heavy armors (particularly half-plate), so you lose out on either dodge % or on PRR (and even if you did get adamantine body, WF PRR is bugged to be BAB rather than BAB+6).

Was that a Skybreaker you were using in the end and if so how is it compared to other end game weapons?

I have a 3rd life monk that I was thinking of tr'ing into artificer, when I saw this build. I was wondering how viable an unarmed version would be. You'd get stunning fist instead of blow (which would have close to the same dc but a much shorter cool-down) and unarmed attack speed, but your base damage and crit profile would suffer. This would almost certainly have to be the ranger version for feats.

I was thinking something like this minus one feat. Can't decide which to drop:

bow strength (r)
rapid shot (r)
two weapon fighting (r)
improved two weapon fighting
greater two weapon fighting
stunning fist
point blank shot
manyshot
precise shot
improved precise shot
rapid reload (a)
improved critical: ranged
improved critical: blunt
power attack
cleave
great cleave
overwhelming critical
zen archery
toughness
quicken
