Shadovar Infiltrator

[Andoris]

I decided to post the 18 wizard / 2 fighter variant in its own thread as it is different enough from the original version posted here.

If you are still grinding out xp and you don't have a trapper in your typical groups I would still recommend this version (30% bonus xp is hard to pass up); however, if you don't need or care about trapping; the 2 fighter version is superior in my opinion.

Nullification Spell power: ~427 || Lich neg damage avg/swing: 29 (5.5 * 5.27 spell power)

Hey guys, nice build. I just ETR'd into it a couple of days ago, still getting the hang of it.

My question is: my neg damage on hit from Lich form is not applying spellpower. I have ~300 neg spell power, but i only see 2-9 neg damage on hits. Is this WAI or should I bug report it. Thanks for your time

Something changed and it is bugged. Lich form and spell sword were applying spell power in the past. See my response from the other thread below:

It looks like something changed. I just did a couple quick tests to see and it looks like it is no longer adding spell power to Spellsword or Lich form.

I should have some old videos laying around that show this working, i'll look for them when I get home. I did extensive testing when I set the build up to ensure it was getting the full spell power on both lich and spellsword toggles.

Looks like it is time to submit a bug report and hope that it gets fixed someday. Its quite annoying as that bug results in about a 8% drop in melee dps.

Thanks for the response! Pitty is not working correctly

What else does 2 rogue give other than evasion and trap skills? shadowdancer gives evasion and you could theoretically run a 20wizard in shadowdancer, have evasion and capstones.

Isn't that enough? As the original poster said:

...xp is king.. and after Turbine doubled the trap bonus it is hard to pass that up.

What gear would you recommend for this character as a first lifer? What about replacement feats? How do things change for someone who has a +7 Supreme Tome? How would going Warforged/Bladeforged notably change everything?

What is 'MoD Setup?'

I was considering going TN Warforged Rogue1/Wizard10/Rogue+1/Wizard+8. I like Warforged for the immunities, though going Drow is helpful for starting at level 1 and wearing the Shroud of the Abbot. I have a +7 Supreme Tome.

I recently acquired the Harper tree.

I find levelling my Paletrapper in the early levels running elite bravery streak quite tough. SP is very tight. I have +2 tomes for all and +3INT typically use Drow am on my 3rd wizard life.

I tried using rogue crossbow which is good for killing from afar and means I can save my SP but you are limited by only have 1 rogue level plus AP points are tight.

I wandered with combo of harper and EK

would this be viable using augment summon plus the Harper +6 ability to summons/hirelings.
Would summon monster and skele be sufficiently buffed to be useful assistants to killing then I can web/firewall swing at whats left?

Once PM has the AoE instakills it tends to be a lot easier but it is really limited with named mobs and things that are resistant to fire/cold.

If one kept the feats wizard related, taking Heighten early for the webs can use 1AP to get archmage web for free Heighten. use wizard buffs and persistent damage spell effects. obviously the trapper skills which I find is definitely the thing that kills me in elites.

it also seems like every low level caster mob fires out light based spells so death form is not as straightforward as it used to be.

level 10 on my current life, so just playing around with enhancements to see if it produces anything. Have stored up lots of siberys shards so can do lots of low level feat swaps
