The Sacred Vengeful Toaster

[thesnoman]

Ok - I built this for a strange twist on my Toaster of Vengeance. I was playing with PRR/MRR builds for a Sorc and came up with this. It also keeps Divine Grace buffs high with 6 pally levels. It's not nearly as powerful (DPS Wise) as the Toaster of Vengeance, but **** is it near impossible to kill.

(For those that have followed my debate on PRR/MRR vs Dodge/Evasion, I think I found the tipping point - it's at about 85 PRR / 50 MRR with 85+AC)

I Give you the Sacred Vengeful Toaster
BLADEFORGED 12 Sorc / 6 Pally / 2 FvS

12 Sorc - For Reconstruct / Fire Savant
6 Pally - for Sacred Defender Stance and Divine Grace POST Nerf (Level * 3 + 2) gives all saves a +20
2 FvS - For AoV Infinite Mana Pool

It's a pretty Straightforward Build - I play with the Completionist Feat, but it isn't necessary. 36-point build basically is a necessity to get everything out of it.

What do you think of either sorc 14 / pal 4 / FvS 2 or sorc 12 / pal 4 / FvS 4? Your saves take a hit post-nerf; but your spellcasting should improve. Also: why no metamagics?

I've played with those ideas - here's what I've thought:

14 Sorc / 4 Pal / 2 FvS: You gain some extra spells - personally the one I miss from 14 Sorc is DBFB, but I'm not losing sleep over it. You don't gain much more spell power since the enhancements are what makes this build so **** indestructible. You gain caster levels, but not enough to make any substantial difference.

12 Sorc / 4 Pal / 4 FvS: Worse than the above since you are stuck with the same level 12 Sorc Spells and you still aren't gaining much due to the enhancements taken.

Post Divine Grace nerf (if it ever happens), saves would be max +14 with 4 Pally and Max +20 with 6 Pally. Currently my Charisma Bonus is 22 giving me that full +20 Divine Grace bonus. Not sure where the cutoff is for where increasing your saves no longer matters - would be helpful to know if there is such point.

If the Divine grace nerf gets taken off the table completely, I'll re-evaluate this build.

Metamagics - not worth the increase in SP cost when casting low level spells and relying on Shiradi.

For my play style, I prefer Combat Casting / Mobile Spellcasting. They're overlooked by many since jump-casting basically overcomes the need for these two feats, but I like the flavor of these two feats...been playing with them for a while now on my Sorc Builds and losing them is extremely frustrating. (once you get used to playing with them, it's hard to adjust back to not having them.)

As a side note, I'm currently playing this build and it's a lot of fun. I'm missing a few items to be fully geared - once I do have all of my gear I'll settle my augments and get it all posted up here. I did swap out the Great Charisma Feat for Force of Personality to bring my will save up.

Right now I', sitting on 438 Fire spell power and 387 Force Spell Power. 106 AC, 112 PRR, 86 MRR, and 8% dodge and 234% fortification. Saves are 81 Fortitude, 76 Reflex, and 85 Will. With Quickened Reconstruct, I'm breezing through most EE content...still working my way through all of the highest level content, but so far staying alive doesn't post much of an issue.
