The elusive 10/10 Caster

[ThePrincipal]

With all the changes to enhancements and EDs, is it yet feasible to have a playable 10arcane/10divine build?

Nooope, Chuck Testa.

Ultimately, you could play one. But I don't think it is an edn-game combo.

In short: No.
It would still be a poor choice for a caster build.

If you were making an alternative melee / range character, you might consider something like that.

You could do a bladeforged: pally/sorc and use the sorc for eldritch knight. However, you would be an alternate melee with lots of self healing instead of a good caster.

About as close as you could get would be a Cleric X / Wizard X Shiradai build.

It uses SLA and Magic Missles to trigger Shiradai procs.


Ineffective as a raid healer, ineffective in crowd control other than nerve venom.

You could have built a Cleric 14 / Monk 6, used the Pinion from your raider's box and done better.

The only way a 10 / 10 caster would be effective would be is Mystic Theurge prestige class appears.
This prestige class allowed you to progress in both classes at character level minus several levels.

I recall a dev post stating that feats doubling up class levels into caster levels was definitely (in their opinion) never coming to ddo.
So don't expect this to happen.



However, Wizard/Sorcerer 18 with Favored Soul 2 is popular atm.

Search for Wizard 12 / Cleric 8 Shiradai whatamacallit build.
A friend of mine built one, some are pondering it.
Have no idea how its works.

13/7 shiradi builds are quite viable, but no abilities fall on 10 so 10/10 doesn't make sense.

I suppose you could go 10arti, 10 whatever. I don't know if arti is technically a 'caster' class. But there are many builds that deep splash it.
