Build to survive and do dps in Epic Elite Content

[rockingsuphastar]

Hi can anyone give me some idea of build or link which can do well in Epic Elites do dps and survive

[lifestaker]

There are several good versions of bard, pally, druid, and barb that I like on EE content.

Are you looking for a nice ranged, melee, or caster build?

Higher in dps or long lasting?

Speed runs or just getting it done?

Party or solo?

There is not a set win button for build, mostly depends on what you are looking for in the long run.

Its melee forum, so I'd assume he asks for melee build


Anyway, simpliest builds would be a bladeforged paladin with racial recon, or con based dwarven barb with TYWA (that would be less DPS, much easy to survive with low experience on EEs).

This is a great entry-level EE build. You don't need any raid gear and it's fairly easy to play. To make this really well you want at least a +3 dex tome so you you don't need to set your starting dex really high. This is 34 pt build, you can drop 2 from cha if a 32 pt build.

Epic Destiny: Divine Crusader

Twists: Gird of Demons, Grim Precisions, Rejuvanation Cocoon

Gear
helmet: epic emerald gaze
necklace: epic lion's mane
trinket: epic eagle's eye
cloak: greensteel blur/displacment - make as many of these as you can up to maybe 5 max for displacement clickies - swap with mysterious cloak or hide of the fallen
belt: epic belt of thoughtful remembrance
ring 1: epic ivy helix
gloves: iron mitts
boots: epic ship kickers
ring 2: epic laurel helix
bracers; epic barbette's bracers
armor: heavy shadowscale armor with shadow guadian or TOEE heayy armor
goggles: deadly 10 resistance 10 (best #s you can get 9s are fine)

weapons: TOEE Khopesh - element of your choice and bleeding edge (or swap bleeding edge for thunderforged)

You get good from blessed blades in divine crusader, silver strikes from your level 28 feat and cold iron from the gird of demons twists. So that gives you dr-breaking for almost everything except the boss at the end of archon's trial. You can use greensteel or any evil weapon for that.

It's fairly easy to gear up and several item can have melee power or prr boosts with mythic bonuses. You are missing speed from gear which you can get from a leel 27 feats. You are missing doublestrike from gear, but that is the only major thing missing and it's not a deal breaker.

Gear can be upgraded, but this gear is easy to get and you can run EE with this character to upgrade to the top mythic tier eventually. I am running this build with a character without past lifes or gear and he does fine running the new ee chain, ee Amarath and TOEE ee.

the build I listed can solo whelloon and stormhorns without all the past lifes and with significant gear changes i just listed some easier stuff to get. At lower epic levels you can swap out gird of demons for sense weakness or balanced attacks. The level 20 house C challenge khopeshes are decent level 20 weapons - or greensteel.

Its melee forum, so I'd assume he asks for melee build


Anyway, simpliest builds would be a bladeforged paladin with racial recon, or con based dwarven barb with TYWA (that would be less DPS, much easy to survive with low experience on EEs).

Yeah a bit out of it when I asked.

Bladeforged pally works fine, with very little investment. The recon and loh make it good for even a bad build. been hearing good things about the ranger pally, though I have yet to see one that I would call good. Make the investment into con...

Personally I like the swashbuckler dwarven bard for a good melee build, but that is a specialist, not a melee. Outside that I would say twf barbarian.

[BankCoffer]

Displace clickies? If not then go bard. either a freezing build with cha main, pdk race. or any swash combo with at least 7 bard levels. You could also do a vanguard and have 210+ prr along with dr 30 armor. I would rather displace tbh and bard offers fascinate and a bunch of other cc options.
