Celcia – The “Impossible” Dream

Build

First Life
32 Point Build
H/Elf 20 Fighter 8 Epic TN

This is a work in progress AC intimitank build. First of before getting flamed I know this build is not finished and needs more work but its an idea for making a first life EE viable tank. With the healing amp and incite from items and enhancements mean its fairly easy to heal and with the AC HP pool and PRR mean you don’t take huge amounts of damage as well as nice saves.

The character would obviously improve with tr, past life’s temp buffs like yugo pots, GS HP item, etc but not really necessary. The DPS isnt on par with a pure DPS toon ….its a tank :P holding agro hasn't been an issue and with being a half elf the twin intimidates are nice to have in emergency, also the cleave and G cleave are very useful for increasing damage output and damaging mobs in aoe to assist tanking.

The amount of toughness included in the build can be reduced but was in a HP arms race with another guildie .

My Crafter - Celeia - regularly gets mistaken for Celcia.

Let me just say that it's great to finally see Celcia's build posted in all it's glory.


P.S. Nice Trolling Smurf

Well, it's a nice tin can... but looking at the build I would bet she can't fight her way out of a wet paper bag (though I'm sure the bag will be very angry at you when you intimidate).

well when they put a EE wet paper bag Boss in raid it should be very worried :P

however it can tank quite well in EE and raids self healing needs work but with holding agro the only thing that seems to take it of her is the fury , add rush, multi shot, slaying agro which is quickly fixed with intim :P

but have run many EE and had no issue with holding agro and the same with most raids in the game to date

but yeh DAM THOSE PAPER BAGS :P

Storm Reaver, and Truthful are ficking hard paper bags and yes they were VERY angry, they still couldn't take Celcia down.

What weapon are you using ? Are you S&B ?
In the picture it looks like you are S&B but the picture seems to show some two handed (greatswords) in you hot bars also.

2: Toughness
14: Toughness
16: CON, Toughness

Toughness isn't a ftr bonus feat.

[FranOhmsford]

Toughness isn't a ftr bonus feat.

The Lvl 2 Toughness is simple enough - Just swap it with Cleave at Lvl 1

Weapon Spec at Lvl 12 can also be safely swapped with Toughness at 14

and I believe that Leaves Mobility at Lvl 9 to swap with the Lvl 16 Toughness.

Valic was on a lvl 28 Character and trying to work out when he took all those Toughness Feats - I'm not surprised he got the Lvls mixed up tbh.

[unbongwah]

Just pointing out OP needs to clean up his feat order.

Which reminds me: ISM req's BAB 8, so can't be taken before lvl 8; it's listed @ lvl 6.

Swap it with Dodge then.

Hello Valicathion! I admire what you are attempting to do here with a level 20 human fighter and I have one myself that I'm working on as well. My AC numbers aren't nearly anywhere near where yours are though, so do you think it would be possible to get a break down, bit by bit, on how you achieved 180 AC? Would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Ring: +10 con 20 tumble ring

Is this for tumbling faster when you twist in Unearthly Reactions?

Just curious.

[Blackheartox]

Hmm question, what do you bring to a party full of monkchers/fury centerd builds, shiradis as a con based tank without con to damage?

In current selfhealing meta endgame, without a sp item even with reworked sentinel, best tanks i saw /if they are of use but dunno/ had around 1400 hp tops to be effective at holding aggro.
Urthor from ordo is a realy nice example or kratebane from hella.
Otherwise when i see something above 1500 hp its guarantedd not to be able to hold aggro, how did you do that on your build?
Just wondering since those folks are completionists, play the game as tanks for years /since the days when it was useful/ and they still tell me its extremely hard to hold aggro from a proper monkchery furyshot.

Or is this thread a troll thread and i failed every possible will save to realize that?
