Kent's custom Character Builds

[Kentpb]

Hey kent, I actually do have a question: It looks like the build you posted doesn't put any points into balance, but don't I need to put 7 in for the SWF line?
I'm also seeing on the wiki that you can't take SWF and THF on the same char, is that no longer the case?

Other than that I think I will have a lot of fun with it, I might just change alignment to true neutral for Fiend pact instead of fey.

Sorry must of been 1/2 asleep when I did that I know that they are exclusive don't know what i was thinking if fixed the build and edited it.
Ya I would not go fay even if misty is nice and it is but Sonic spell power is derived from the perform skill not Spellcraft and with out bard you can't max it out In this build i was thinking Great old one but Fiend would be fine

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to update it. Looks pretty sweet, force of personality is definitely a good fit with the feats freed up by nixing THF.

EDIT: This is the updated version of the original build. I'll post the tweaked version for your stat tomes in the morning when I'm slightly more awake.

Strike Down
Twists of Fate (22 fate points)
Sense Weakness (Tier 4 Fury)
Lithe (Tier 2 Shadowdancer)
Rejuvenation Cocoon (Tier 1 Primal)
Radiant Power (Tier 1 Exalted)

Currently it is running in Divine Crusader, and between aura of purification, critical hits, and the eldritch aura, purification stacks up very quickly, and Castigation adds a nice amount of additional damage to your passive AoE damage.
However it also runs very well in LD and Fury (in fact it was originally built with Fury in mind).
I currently have 1 heroic life (Sorcerer) and 5 EPLs (3 divine, 1 primal, 1 martial).
Before buffs and metamagics, light spell power sits at around 450 (at level 30). This could certainly be improved with some feat tweaks, additional past lives and some adjusted AP, but the build performs very well as it is.
In most epic quests I can keep full or nearly full stacks of both Arcane Warrior buffs, Empyrian Magic and Celestial Champion just from my aura, normal melee combat, and the two warlock cleaves.

In terms of weapons, I use shortswords, but any swashbuckler weapon would be fine. Spell powers to concentrate on are light, sonic and positive. Lantern Ring and Epic Blasting Chime are both good gear choices for this build.

A few ?'s first is the first build 28 or 32 point build and the 2nd build what pass lives do you have you said he has +2 tomes across the board so I figure at lest one.

[garzan123]

32 point build..and the toon is 7 the lvl and has a few hearts to use..used the tomes already..right now is a rogue 7th lvl..hang been played in 2 years

if the plane is to use a heart then need your race you can not change that or your alignment barring the use of a alignment tome.
Working on the first build now.

Ty..great build..I will def keep u updated..can't wait to see the next build

[FlowingSnake]

Hi Kent,
First I love the creativity of your builds.
I am looking for a classic witch build. Based on the hermit Witch in the Wild (woods, cave etc), into herbalisim, poisons and ritual magic. I would like it to be a caster, but I leave the creativity up to you. My only real req is that can solo. I have access to 32pt buld and all races and classes.

[DocTom]

Hi, Kent!

I wish I had found this thread when I started playing DDO. Not only do your builds look airtight, I particularly like the guidance you offer with respect to play-style and, sometimes, equipment. I am writing for your help. I unlocked BF and went with an 18/2 (sorc/paly). I almost always play alone, but sometimes play with two or three other friends. I just passed my first epic level (Draconic Incarnation) but I feel like I am missing something. This combo should have good synergy and survivability but, particularly in epic content, I find myself with lackluster damage and many up-close views of the dungeon floor (death). My gear is ok, but I'm not a skilled crafter that can make ultimate stuff. It's a first lifer that was a Fire Savant, but everything seems to be immune to fire in epic.

Could I humbly ask for a build (and whatever suggestions that you are kindly inclined to offer!) for this 18/2 bladeforged so that I can start swapping feats/enhancements/gear? As I said, I mostly solo but would like to contribute "sorcerer-like" damage when I group with my friends. (They're great guys, but I'm growing tired of hearing "Don't you have an incandescent version of the LED meteor swarm you're casting?" or, "Hey, look! My wizard can shoot a bow for more damage than Tom's robot!"

Please help! THANKS!!!!!!

Hi Kent,
First I love the creativity of your builds.
I am looking for a classic witch build. Based on the hermit Witch in the Wild (woods, cave etc), into herbalism, poisons and ritual magic. I would like it to be a caster, but I leave the creativity up to you. My only real req is that can solo. I have access to 32pt build and all races and classes.

Okay this one had me going around the house going "classic witch... classic witch" I read a lot of books and I mean a lot mostly fantasy and witches come in many many flavors so started with some key words you gave "into herbalism, poisons and ritual magic", "caster", "solo", and through out the idea that a witch is just a female Warlock. A Witch in my experience is not just a caster of spells but entreating the forces in the world to bend to her will and setting up her foe for the kill be it poisons to slow and weaken or a trap to get them where she wants them for the final blow not always a spell but sometimes likes to get up close and draw blood, and feed them to her dark familiar. Above all she must have a Crystal Ball.
So with all that in mind here is the " Hermit Witch"

Notes:
So with spells like Entangle, Takedown, Sleet Storm, Snare, Sunburst, and the best Earthquake you can stop, slow, and blind your foes
With your lighting, fire, and cold spells you can kill or grievously wound you foes
And when they are wounded or stopped, slowed, and or blinded you can come in and finish them with your blade be it your flame blade Conjured with you magic (works off wis mod for dam & hit) or if foe resistant to fire your sword both coated in poison
Not only will you have a crystal ball but you will draw more magic from it then it would normally give (Human - Traditionalist Caster +9% spell power)


P.S. Hope this is what you where looking for if not or if you have any ? feel free to ask, and i will see what else I can do to make it the build you want.

So with all that in mind here is the " Hermit Witch"

Once again I live your builds and am glad it got you thinking. It looks just what I was after.

Again thanks.

So the best fix is if you have one of those free +5 hearts they gave out or willing to use at lest a +2 to get 2 levs of Fav to go with the "BF Blaster (Shiradi Caster) : 2 Pal / 16 Sorc / 2 Fav" on page 5 if not give me your tomes if any and tell me when you take your 2nd pal lev and will post a build with out the Fav levs. will get you in to heavy armor and going Shiradi Caster gets you lots of spell damage that is not just fire which helps with all those fire resesance mob and gets a lot more damage/SP spent

[DocTom]

Thanks, Kent! I really appreciate your quick reply! I loved that build when I was reading through the pages leading up to my request, but was (and am) unclear about these Hearts of Wood and rebirthing in general. Is it different for iconics? And why would I need a +5 if I only need to acquire two FvS levels? (I hope you'll please pardon the noob questions. I've played the table-top version almost since its creation - 35+ years? - and I joined the DDO community in 2010, but I haven't really had the chance to play regularly until recently.) Also, how does one get to the Shiradi Champion tree? It looks like I have to hop through a few other trees to get there. Is there an easier way? D'oh, one more question! Sorry! Are the FvS levels just for getting a supply of spell points? I'll miss those last sorc spells!

I have a VIP account with Bladeforged, Drow, and FvS unlocked. My present 1st life Bladeforged (18 sorc / 2 paly / 1 epic) has the max on stat tomes for all stats. I have fumbled through Draconic Incarnation selections but will try to figure out how to move trees (destinies).

Again, I appreciate the time you take to do this! Your creativity and knowledge are apparent!

Good to help a fellow PnP gamer you got me beat there I only DMed D&D for 25 years on and off started with the old red box with the paper back books and my favorite setting was Spell Jammer because anything could happen in that one even converted it to 3.5 when my play group made the switch. I have been playing DDO for 9 years. To answer your question I only mentioned the +5 heart because they gave 2 out for free recently if you have to buy one a +2 will do. as far as lesser reincarnating goes it works the same for iconics the True reincarnating is the one that is different for them in that you have to go to max lev to do it and not 20. As to the Fav levs it is not just for the SPs you get for crit you also get 41 spell power, +4% to crit, and with that build in Shiradi i would never cast Meteor Swarm when you will get more damage with MM. That being said I am up dating that build post for lev 30 now but if you want me to do the same kind of thing with out the fav levs let me know
One more thing yes getting through the other ED trees will suck but the pay off will be worth it.

I posted this build on another thread for someone looking for spell or spell like damage added to TWF damage but like to keep all my builds together so here is the Wardrake

Well met, Kent! I started with the Chainmail, Greyhawk, etc. set. Good times! Now that I think of it, there was a "Kent" in our notefile game back in the day. Probably from U Maryland iirc.

Anyway, thanks yet again for the sage advice. I have read some more this afternoon and I have a tentative plan - a plan that will follow your build to the letter - but if you have time to entertain a few more clarification questions... 1) Is there a specific reason that you chose the Fire Savant enhancements as opposed to any other Savant? We're getting damage from missiles in the this plan, right? 2) Extend spell feat? 3) Since I'm in the Draconic destiny now, will I have the chance to select Fatesinger after I reincarnate? will I have any points to spend in the tree or are they zeroed out? 4) Should I pick up impulse-enhancing gear or does that matter since the damage is coming from procs?

Here's the plan: 1) +2 heart and build as you suggest. 2) Select Fatespinner and use a "key" to hop over to Shadow Dancer, go up three levels. 3) Hop to Legendary Dreadnought, go up four levels. 4) Open Shiradi Champion.

Very Gratefully Yours,
Tom

PS: I'll follow your build exactly. I'm a shrink in RL. When people who make questionable decisions come to me to learn how to make better decisions and then turn around and make the same bad decisions, it's always a head-scratcher! (Especially with how much I charge!) LOL I've gone to a pro - I'll use the pro's advice!

1. Yes it synergises with the fav levs as Angel of Vengeance boost fire and force & yes we get lots of proc damage from MM,CM but your fire still plays a big part in your DPS not everything is resistant.
2. Dam was supposed to be enlarge miss click. I fixed it should be ashamed I do quality control in RL
3. You will only be able to go to Fatesinger if you are now at least level 3 Draconic Incarnation you keep all you XP in Epic Destinies when you LR and TR in your next life when you hit 20 you still have access you all you unlocked in previous lives which is nice you will need those Destinie levs for fate points (1/3 levs) so you can twist in powers
4. Yes you will be throwing a lot of it so it is nice if it can add to the damage but most important is the crit chance for SP recoop

P.S. Maybe I should charge so people think my advice is worth listening to

[DocTom]

You da man! Thanks! OK - I'm building it in another screen and... At level 1, I can't select the feat "Spell Focus: Evocation". Should I take first level in Sorc? *ugh*!

Thanks for any help!

Gratefully,
Tom
