Cetus: The Supreme Bladeforged Fighter

[Cetus]

Cetus: Completionist Bladeforged 12 Fighter/6 Monk/2 Paladin

Note: This build is designed for advanced players who desire effectiveness in epic elite content. It is also centered around +5 tomes for the purposes of meeting stat requirements.


Class Progression: First, Second, and Sixth monk levels are the only important ones, since they receive feats at those levels.

Starting Stats: Strength: 18, Dexterity: 12, Constitution: 12, Intelligence: 8, Wisdom: 8, Charisma: 16

Feats

12 Fighter = 7 Feats. Bladeforged = 7 feats. 6 Monk = 3 Feats. Epic feats = 3 Feats. 7 + 7 + 3 + 3 = 20 Feats.

Add 2 Destiny feats + Paladin Deity + Monk light/dark path = 24 total feat decisions.

2. Weapon Focus: Ranged
3. Bow Strength
4. Manyshot (much later when +5 Dex tome kicks in)

9. Two Handed Fighting (Should be taken as Level 1 or 2 Monk Class feat)

22. Monk: Light Path
23. Level 26: Perfect Two handed fighting
24. Level 28: Perfect Two Weapon Fighting - 5% doublestrike for main hand weapon

Tunnel Vision
Dance of Flowers

Bane of Undeath

Enhancements:



*Divine Might: Everytime I use my power surge, damage boost, haste boost, I automatically hit divine might. When I had the second tier version of it, I ended up hitting it like every thirty seconds anyway just as part of the boost rotation. So, tier 2 is not needed - but I have a razr naga mouse that accommodates efficient boosting, if you don't then this decision might not be optimal for you.

Main Destiny Points:



Gear:

Necklace: EE Stolen Necklace w/ Insightful +2 Charisma Slotted, Charisma +10, and Accuracy +9 (This is useful for manyshotting, sometimes the bow grazes)
Helmet:: EE Black Dragon Helmet w/ +3 Insightful Constitution Yellow Slot: Globe of True Imperial Blood Green Slot: Good Luck +2
Goggles: Deadly X of Resistance +10
Armor: Flawless Black Dragonscale Docent: Slotted Wisdom +8 Epic Bladesmark Docent is also a powerful supplement Epic Mournlode Docent for Undead/Temple runs = 70% fort bypass between 15% grim precision, 35% TF weapon, and 20% weaken undead
Bracer: Dumathoin's Bracers: Dexterity +11, Natural Armor +10, Sheltering +30, Elemental Resistance +45, Blue Slot: Con +8

Red Named: Thunder-Forged Falchion: Tier 1: 1st Degree Burns, Tier 2: Armor Piercing 35%, Tier 3: Crippling Flames. Red Slot: Reconstruction 138, Orange Slot: Deconstructor, Colorless Slot: Repair +15 Augment

Boost Regenerating Weapon: Thunder-Forged Falchion with Draconic Reinvigoration Tier 3

Ranged: Longbow Versions of the three falchions above

Few metagame tricks:

1. Upon zoning into quest, wear Verik's necklace instead of EE Stolen necklace, Replace Adamantine cloak of the wolf with Charisma 10 cloak with slot, place +2 Insightful 2 Cha in slot (I have a cloak like this with accuracy 11 on the tail end)

Once 2 boosts are used, switch for Cloak of the wolf + Stolen Necklace.

2. When manyshotting, hit yourself with a reconstruct first, so that you get full 22% ranged alacrity (goatskin doesn't seem to give it right now)

Stunning Blow DC:

82 Str (without Store pot - screenshot has 85 with store pot) = 36 Modifier + Stunning +10 + Combat Mastery +5 + LD +6 + 10 Base + 3 Past lives + 4 Enhancement + 2 fearsome presence = 76
