Kent's custom Character Builds

[Silverleafeon]

I'd like to see a Challenge Farmer for a F2P/Premium account, one that's not dependent on bought classes/races (if that's even possible?).

My main account has what it needs np, but my alt account is bare bones, and that crafter could use some Cannith love, and I bet lots are in that position, or close to.

What would be best? GXB Rogue w/ Mark of Passage? Sorcie w/ Barb 1 splash? Something more creatively MC'd? :/

Well, I am leaning towards Wizard atm.

You have:

Skeleton to post for guarding places you aren't.

Unlimited DD spells (as the kobolds can use them too).

Decent DPS and defense

Haste & Expedious Retreat

Negative Aura for healing

Possible SLAs from Archamage

CC for protecting Kobolds picking up Colossal Crystal

Knock for Rushmore

Hi Kent. Thanks for making this thread. Looks like you've helped a lot of players, hopefully I can get a build too. I've played DDO for a long time, but I don't really know how to work the system for the best effect.

I play solo (with hirelings), but I don't need this character to be awesome. I'm not looking to do Reaper difficulty, or even end-game quests on Elite. I just need to be able to work my way through most stuff.

I'd like to use two-weapon fighting (preferably rapiers or shortswords) as well as a bow (not crossbow) on occasion (mostly to do some damage before getting into melee, or if I need to kite something to stay alive).
I need to be able to do rogue stuff; locks & traps mostly, but if you can work in some stealth I wouldn't mind.
I would also like to use arcane spells purely for buffing. I'm not trying to affect monsters in any way so I don't care what my DC would be.
I'll have to rely on potions/hireling for healing I guess, can't spread myself too thin.

It has to be human, I really don't like the models/animations for most other races.
I have Past Lives: Fighter and Ranger, and just finishing off Bard.
I also have +3 tomes for all stats, but I can increase those a bit if needed for the build.
It would be a 34pt build, I guess...haven't made a new character in a while, but that sounds right.

Let me know what you think.

First sorry for taking so long to answer went on vacation and a little sunburnt now
You should look here Balanced is key (TWF/Bow mix) for Arenthian. That build is petty much what your are looking for and would be easy to make it human with short swords you would even get 1 more feat and some more skill points. I only went elf for him for cheaper Dex as he was first life no tomes.
Let me know if this works for you or if you have any ? and I will post quickly.

Arenthian is an old crotchety grandpa who can't handle the beauty of your builds. Help his number one son, me, with my build instead

I also haven't played for several years, and am coming back from playing mostly Pathfinder RPG so my grasp of 3.0 and 3.5 D&D builds and rules has slipped a bit. I am trying to create a barbarian (cleric/flavored soul), but can't find the feel for it. I know you can't cast spells while raging, so mostly cleric would be for buffs and out of combat healing, though dropping rage and stepping back to heal when necessary and negate negative effects.

Any advice on a viable build, or is the concept too messy to be effective?

First sorry for taking so long to answer went on vacation and a little sunburnt now
Okay this can be done but I need to know how much healer you want to be say like do you need to be able to cast "heal" and no fail scroll raise dead or just CSW the more Cle your are the less ragging matters you can get a lot out of Barb with out it. Weather you go ragging or not the coming domains for Cle has one that will let you cast wile ragging so you got that to look forward to

[Kentpb]

thank for this. I am excited to get started in this in a few levels. So should I gear up armor wise like a monk? What should I focus on?

First sorry for taking so long to answer went on vacation and a little sunburnt now
yes you must stay centered, and like I said "Combat mastery and insightful Combat mastery are your friends"

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually did look at that build before making my post, but it doesn't have any rogue skills (disable device / open locks) and those are a necessity for me. As you said, with a Human I'd get a few more skill points, but I don't know how much I need to put into DD/OL for it to be viable at high levels, without going over what's reasonably needed. Also, I assume it would rely on scrolls using UMD for buffs, since a level 12 ranger isn't going to be doing much in that regard. Is scrolls/UMD more efficient than taking sorc/wiz levels?

Okay so sorry for the woefully incomplete explanation of where I was going with the build for you. By saying you would get 1 more feat meant to make up for the one lost by adding 2 rog and losing 2 fighter and the more skills you would get would facilitate getting all of your rouge skills. that being said this build is just that same build with full rogue skills the feat order is close but with some change do to the rogue level at start the only difference is as you don't get level 8 fighter so you can't get "Greater Weapon Focus" so you get "Two Weapon Defense"(+1 bonus to your AC and 5 Physical Resistance Rating when you wield two weapons){quicken could go here as well for no fail healing in epics} instead which slightly changes some Kensei AP placement. As you also get full umd Scrolling or wands for things like blur stone skin eta... should be no problem. As far as your question if adding sorc/wiz levels would be better here well problem is to be good at ranged & melee it takes Feats and pulling fighter or ranger for a caster class would leave you vary short of what you need, not to mention the loss of one of the builds main Enh trees.

Balanced is key (TWF/Bow mix) With traps for Hasaki

Thanks Kent, it looks good. I still have to get my current (horrible) build up to 20 (I'm at 17 now), but with this to look forward to, it should help me get there.

[ccd1977]

Welcome back Kent! I like this build also. As I am about to HTR, I was thinking, could we somehow make this a dwarf variant with a focus on Con and TYWA? Would I be losing anything?

As to what you will lose well it cost 18 AP for TYWA so some stuff in Stalwart Defender mainly +6 Con but you will still have more Con then before and you go from 5 sec cooldown to 8 sec on Spirit blast or you could do 6 Sec but then lose power surge. You also will lose +'s Dam on your shield as TYWA will not work on it but on the up side lots and lots more HP and a better + to dam on your Warhammer

ED: Legendary Dreadnought(Divine Crusader, & Unyielding Sentinel will work well too all depending on how tanky you need to be)Twist:- Sense Weakness- Legendary Shield Mastery- Radiant power- Rejuvenation CocoonAs to what you will lose well it cost 18 AP for TYWA so some stuff in Stalwart Defender mainly +6 Con but you will still have more Con then before and you go from 5 sec cooldown to 8 sec on Spirit blast or you could do 6 Sec but then lose power surge. You also will lose +'s Dam on your shield as TYWA will not work on it but on the up side lots and lots more HP and a better + to dam on your Warhammer

So awesome! So how fast is my aura ticking at this time? I do like the idea of this dwarf build. To have the tankiness, with an aura that will make the enemies hate life is my goal with this build.

well yah it is that other build with TYWA like you asked for but if you where looking for faster aurs ticking to "make the enemies hate life" as your goal and not "S&D fighter/warlock build? Just DPS and tankness? maybe enough for shining through?" but with TYWA I would go with something more like this

[scipiojedi]

So I want to play an Air sorc - will be halfling because I'm in a halfling guild
I don't like pure builds so was toying with 14 Sorc/4 Druid/2 Bard or 2 Artificer. Will have a lot of spell critical and electric spellpower, but worried that with only 14 levels in sorc that my CL and DCs won't work. Also would be awesome if call lighting SLA from Druid would work but I think I'll need to max my wis for that, right?

Going 2/3 bard would give me higher evocation Dcs but going Artificer will give me higher critical chance and electric spell power and electric vulnerability.

These are just a list of some good things to work towards as a first life use what you can when you can.
Notes: SWF is better for first life with mixed goles that with PDK gets all your casting and melee working off Cha

Thank you for posting this. I'm really interested in trying this out and have a couple of questions. I hear you on PDK and Chr to hit. But, I like playing elves. So, I was thinking of going Fighter 2 / Bard 5/ Sorc 13. I'm wondering if the Tier 5 Bard abilities will help the melee? 2 Fighter gets an extra feat. And 13 sorc, keeps the most important SLAs. I'm not too worried about my to-hit, so not missing the Chr to hit from PDK. I'd plan to use some combination of electric loop and sonic blast sla's to stun while I mow them down.

Thoughts?

[Kentpb]

So I want to play an Air sorc - will be halfling because I'm in a halfling guild
I don't like pure builds so was toying with 14 Sorc/4 Druid/2 Bard or 2 Artificer. Will have a lot of spell critical and electric spellpower, but worried that with only 14 levels in sorc that my CL and DCs won't work. Also would be awesome if call lighting SLA from Druid would work but I think I'll need to max my wis for that, right?

Going 2/3 bard would give me higher evocation Dcs but going Artificer will give me higher critical chance and electric spell power and electric vulnerability.

ok will do but first some ?'s what if any past lives do you have & what if any tomes on this guy

[scipiojedi]

1 Sorc past life, so will be a 34 pt build. No tomes right now. Only at 800 favor and level 14, so doubtful i will get to 1750 before I TR.

Well going any less then 14 sorc you lose lev 7 spell which in and of itself would be no big deal nothing to important there but then your electric loop and sonic blast sla when heightened would lose out and not taking tier 5 Air you will miss Lightning Bolt SLA big lose there. that is posted for Osama91 as a first life no tome build I liked the idea so much I did one for me but as i had all +6 tomes (need at least + 4 str tome to get to 13 str by lev 15 without actually investing in str more then 1 point for PA) and 3rd life I went 14 sorc / 4 bard / 2 fig and slipped in PA & cleave love to run in LD.
As to going elf well ya you could still get cha to dam from Swash but if you run he & ee you are going to see a big loss in DPS for melee from glancing blows .
I use electric loop, and sonic blast to daze not a true stun as you don't get the extra dam form helpless and they come to on first hit still good to slow the mob, but I do use Soundburst heightened so cast as a lev 7 spell and that is a true stun with all the nice helpless +'s to dam and they don't wake up when you hit them so nice even twisted in the epic one so I got it going off more often love it.
that all said elf could be worked around accuracy items will be your friend
Tell me what you think about what I said here and I will work one up with your past life list and tomes if any. elf or PDK after you think it over


P.S. as this is my 2nd time through with this build ( yah loved it ) and had 1 sorc life already so my Envo DC's look nicer then a first life so my view of the build might be different then a first life would be and I am thinking of playing around with the AP to get Armorer (Gain Medium Armor Proficiency and the ability to cast arcane spells in medium armor without arcane spell failure) for better AC and prr but did not on my first time through and it was fine but some thing to think about

Thank you for the quick reply and help!

I have 3 sorc, 3 wiz, 3 fvs, 2 cleric past lives and completionist. I also have the full set of +7 tomes and epic completionist--this is my main character I've been playing since I started DDO. I've always been partial to elf; so, I mostly play Drow for a casters due to the stat bonuses. I've wanted to try a bladesinger build with some effective casting. I've always been partial to electricity. So, this seems like a perfect build.

You mention glancing blows, but are running SWF. Is that from cleave? The only reason I was thinking Bard 5 was for the instakill with all that stunning and the improved crit to help with melee. You're feeling the lightning bolt SLA is worth it? I never used Lightning bolt that much. Electric Loop and Chain lightning were my favorites when running a pure Air Sorc.

Thanks again!

Notes:
So with this build you will be able to cast in heavy armor with a Sapphire of Spell Agility +15 in end game you will appreciate that. (I run a Shiradi caster in full plate and the tower shield Skyvault Shield no ASF on that one) I think 4 bard was the way to go the 4 druid levels are IMO a waste as you say call lighting needs wis to work , not worth the loss of sorc levels and the 4 bard levs get you soundburst & Sonic Blast SLA when heightened is a good source of CC it also gets you Cure Moderate Wounds and that maxed and or heightened should help keep you up (yes expensive to do but i have done it) & with the +2 to envo DC's it is like only 2 less sorc lev as far as envo goes and DC's IMO are more important as mobs that save only take 1/2 damage. This is my take on what you asked for if you want to see it go another way let me know and I will redo as you ask or if you like it but still have any ?'s feel free to ask
one more thing remember when things just won;t take Electric damage with all that Sonic spell power you get with Air Savant shout and G shout can be a good option that's why I got all that perform skill

Notes:
So with this build you will be able to cast in heavy armor with a Sapphire of Spell Agility +15 in end game you will appreciate that. (I run a Shiradi caster in full plate and the tower shield Skyvault Shield no ASF on that one) I think 4 bard was the way to go the 4 druid levels are IMO a waste as you say call lighting needs wis to work , not worth the loss of sorc levels and the 4 bard levs get you soundburst & Sonic Blast SLA when heightened is a good source of CC it also gets you Cure Moderate Wounds and that maxed and or heightened should help keep you up (yes expensive to do but i have done it) & with the +2 to envo DC's it is like only 2 less sorc lev as far as envo goes and DC's IMO are more important as mobs that save only take 1/2 damage. This is my take on what you asked for if you want to see it go another way let me know and I will redo as you ask or if you like it but still have any ?'s feel free to ask
one more thing remember when things just won;t take Electric damage with all that Sonic spell power you get with Air Savant shout and G shout can be a good option that's why I got all that perform skill

Was planning on going to cap and farming for Legendary Bolt Sphere - so is using that orb a bad idea? It looked amazing to me and then getting a caster stick from LGS (although I don't really understand LGS crafting). Will my enchant DCs be useful or should I not even try?
Curious why take extend feat instead of Greater Spell Focus Evocation? Assume I need all the evocation DCs I can get.

Well first no use the Legendary Bolt Sphere when you can it is amazing was just pointing out the Skyvault Shield as you can get one in your hands sa low as lev 12 and it gets better up to lev 25 to help defence as you level and it has no ASF.
As far as extend feat when I first did the build I did have Greater Spell Focus Evocation in that slot but was thinking of the hassle of casting displacement and Tenser's Transformation all the time with their short Duration and their great importance if all the recasting does not bother you then yha Greater Spell Focus Evocation
