Arti/Rog past life build

[Heathir]

Howdy yall,

So i did it! Maxed out my shadar kai and so its time to start farming gear and working on my main toon. I would love to pick your brains. Here is what i am trying to find:

I read a few threads (cant find them anymore) that an easy framework for TRing is 6arti/6rog/8 pl class
-----What is the level progression for the base 12
-----what would be the feat progression
-----stat layout
-----I assume Warforged?


With that layout (assuming i can farm up leveling items)
----What gear to look for at lvl 4
----Level 7
----Level 12
----Level 16


No toon would stay at level 20 before TR

I would be looking to get 3 arti, 3 ranger, 3 rogue, 3 barb
---What order to take the classess in?


I know its alot to ask and i appreciate any help;-)

This is my build and I've done probably 10 lives with it (currently finishing life number 22):

Helf with Cleric Dillie, if you can hold off on heal scrolls and use pots/hires until you have UMD high enough then go Paladin Dillie (I use Paladin Dillie now, I like the saves and the extra Charisma helps with UMD to boot )

Str 8
Dex 16 - you'll need at least a +3 Dex Tome
Con 16
Int 16 - all level ups in Int
Wis 8 or 14 - 8 if Paladin Dillie
Cha 8 or 14 - 8 if Cleric Dillie

1. Rogue - PBS
2. Arti
3. Arti - Completionist (Toughness maybe if you don't have Completionist yet or Skill Focus UMD if going Paladin Dillie)
4. Arti
5. Arti - Rapid Shot
6. Arti - Precise Shot
7. Arti
8. Rogue
9. Rogue - Precision
10. Rogue
11. Rogue
12. Rogue - Insightful Reflexes
13. Target Life
14. Target Life
15. Target Life - *Improved Crit Ranged
16. Target Life
17. Target Life
18. Target Life - *Improved Precise Shot
19. Target Life
20. Target Life

* If BAB is 11 @ lvl 15, take Improved Precise Shot

Mix in whatever gear you like, this is just what I use the most of.
I do use mostly crafted gear with guild slots but you can use colored slots or new random drops also.
3 Large Guild Slot Repeaters no + enhancements (Screaming of Bleed, Ghost Touch or Undead Bane, and a Holy of Undead Bane)
Have 2 Greensteel Repeaters, Radiance and a Earth
Hand of Tombs, Tira's Splendor - whatever else you like for situtaions. I pretty much use Tira's Splendor from 13 on
Greensteel Cloak with HP, Greensteel Goggles with Smoke/Displacement
+6 Int, +6 Charisma of Persuasion, +6 Con, Greater False Life, Giantcrafted or Parasitic (with +10 reflex), Minos, Tharnes Goggles, Levic's Bracers, and Spectral Gloves

I have other stuff I carry/use but that's the important stuff and makes for fun, fast lives.

It's a shame the Repeater isn't as OP in Epic as it is in Heroic, I really like this playstyle and have had a ton of fun doing past lives with it.

I'm currently playing around with a caster/repeater build and so far is fun, I'll know more next life (sorc umber 2 )

Have fun with it, I know I do

and order of lives:

Ranger for the ranged damage first
either Arti for the UMD or Rogue next, flip flop with what's more important
Barb last

How about enhancements? And the order that you generally take them? Thank you.

How about enhancements? And the order that you generally take them? Thank you.

Arti Battle Engineer to get to Endless Fusilade and the +1 Int's
Rouge Mechanic for the Int for Damage 3rd Core (you can use your Arti buff until you get 6 Rouge levels, also situationally use Flame Turret) and the +1 Int's
Racial to get to at least the 1st Pallie Saves, I usually stop at the 2nd Tier, and the +1 Int, and the 3rd Core Damage Boost

Racial Damage Boost works with Endless Fusilade, the Class Damage Boosts do not, keep that in mind.

It's all about getting your max xbow damage as soon as possible, gear swaps make traps easy enough. After Endless Fusilade and 3rd Core in Mechanic and Helf, it's whatever floats your boat.

I think I will give this a try. I have a bard that I am TRing as Bard just is not as fun with the change to song of capering. So I am going to TR him until I decide on his final life. and this looks like a good frame work to use. I love rogue and have not tried Arti yet.
