Lancelot, the Doombringer

[Atheok]

Hi all!
My first thought when creating this build was to make an end game high CHA pally tank, using this ability for attack and damage out of the PDK race enhancements. As my all time favorite ED is LD, I added that to my primal objectives. Although it might sound insane and stupid at first, a blitzing pally with bastard sword and tower shield in Combat Expertise, I had all my focus into achieving that goal. It came to me that I could benefit from a high CHA, into twisting energy burst to support my blitz, as long as that element has a decent spell power. And if that's not enough, why not add Ruin and Hellball as well? But before even starting let me say this build is a very expensive one. Weather its great or not, I'll leave that to you, but it's definitely a build that will consume all your SP pots you had saved all these lives. Hitting lvl 20, after a boring run through heroics, one of the worst builds to play those quests, made me realize my initial thought blitzing with shield and bastard sword is indeed crazy. Not dumb, as I managed to solo ee lords of dust without dying, but i lost my blitz through half the hp of the first end boss. 1h in lords of dust and I was asking for smokes. And then I changed ED to DC. And never changed back.

Pros:
High PRR, AC and Saves
Good Heal Amp, self healing even without heal spell
Great AOE damage using Consecration, Energy Burst, Hellball, Celestial Bombardment, and 3 cleaves
Best support for blitzers
Incredible tanking in Sentinel ED

Cons:
No evasion, build was focused on maxing the AC
Low SP bar, consumes lots of SP pots

Have in mind that the starting stats might differ from 1 char to other, as well as the ability raises. Depending on each and everyone's tomes, 23 STR is needed at lvl 21 for overwhelming crit that's why I had 2 points into STR, and 13 INT at lvl 20 for Combat Expertise. Rest of the points should go into CHA. DEX or INT at your will. I haven't tried the INT version, but it looks nice as well, more skill points, higher Spellcraft.
Why the 6 levels of wiz and not sorc? Free metamagics. Displacement and nightshield (arcane failure), as well as the EK tree can be accessed by both classes. While sorc would give u more SP, and CHA to some offensive spells, the arcane failure is way too high to be able to rely on those in epics. And the loss of the 2 metamagics. Which could be fit in. Atheok's lvl 24 feat Greater CHA is taken to even his number. While Dodge could be replaced with something else as well. This ain't a dodging build.
Primary skills to level: heal and spellcraft, secondary: balance, jump, tumble, UMD, intimidate.

I'm aware of this. Although they seem to work fine for me, I'm working on it.

Edit: I think the issue with the videos was they were private. They should work now.
