Cetus: The Supreme Bladeforged Fighter

[LotM]

I know it must be somewhere, but all I se in the latest build on first page is the Haste Guard from Black Dragon armor? Is that it for attack speed?

One would assume haste pots, haste clickies, etc...

Sounds extremely tedious.

Goatskin boots ?

[Takllin]

Goatskin boots ?

Aye that's where it is.

[Eth]

Aye that's where it is.

OP disagrees though:
Boots: Ogre Power +10 Boots of False Life +50

Hitting reconstruct every 30 seconds also equals permahaste

Ahhh I am mistaken then. I know at one point he was using Goatskin Boots.

Also I thought the speed boost was only 15 seconds? Haven't used Recon in a while though.

[depositbox]

30 seconds.

from wiki:

granting it an increase in attack speed for a short time (30 seconds).
Note: The attack speed granted by this spell stacks with Haste.

By the way, is it worth taking poison exploit/deadly exploit ?

ps. Of course for Boss fights only

When I last played this build it stacked up to an extra 100 damage a tick so Id say so.

Not to mention being increased by first degree burns.

I just got around to building my 1st Cetus on my 11th life; I lack 3 classes toward completionist. So, questions are that I didn't get in GoFs feat. Are all the feats listed as best choices? If not, I'll maul back over planner to see where I screwed up again.

When I take Divine Might and the extra turns I am not receiving any uses for Divine Might. Is this something I am missing from EDs to obtain?

Could you please help me out with these questions? I really like the build.

You need to twist Bane of Undeath from the Divine Crusader ED. It is a tier one ability. It has been asked/answered a few different times by posters in this thread.

Thanks for taking the time to clear this up for me. I just wanted to make sure what I read was what it meant. I've played a FvS life, but haven't played a paladin or cleric, yet. This is the first time I've MC'd pally levels in to my build as well.

You would need 4 Pally levels to get the Turn Undead feat to power your Divine Mights if you didn't use the Twist of Fate.

Anyone running this changing their build post U23?

Anyone running this changing their build post U23?

yes to some/any heavy armor build because i like that flavor better, and have always disliked the low prr that this build brings to the table.

more importantly its time to change race.

Yup - switched to https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...-Pal12-Ra3-Fi2

Only done to level 23 but so far it is very good - I don't have comparatives yet so I can't see if it is stronger than other builds but it already feels stronger than the Cetus aaaaand has better self heals.

Even Cetus has moved on from this build.
Don't know why this thread is even still going.

Cetus should end this thread and post his Paladin one so we can criticize him on that one... or just criticize him for being a paladin.. or just criticize him for being Cetus..

Yep, still running 12 Fighter/6 Monk/2 Paladin, not sure why everyone is in a race to give up on the build. I personally prefer Miss Chance to higher PR. I mean why would I give up:

1200+ HP
30% Dodge (75% Miss Chance with Shadow Veil and Displacement Clickies)
106 PR
30%/40% Standing Double Strike (Depending on Stance)
Evasion (85 Reflex, no fail on 1)
80+ Stunning Blow
700+ non-critical Recon

And this is coming from someone that played a Paladin for a VERY LONG time before this build.
