Hi,

Well done, this is pretty goddamn funny.

Thanks.

Nice but what do you do when you have to kill the red named

[unbongwah]

Setting aside that I still believe AA imbues applying to non-arrows is a bug and therefore this build is only a patch away from being nerfed into oblivion...

Plus since our instant kill is a vorpal weapon effect and not a spell or SLA, I think we get to totally bypass all spell resistance and epic resilience, which gives EE mobs +6 all saves while at full health. Maybe. I'm going to add this +6 save bypass into the DC as a bonus so you can compare it to a standard Necro.

That's a fairly optimistic prediction, IMO, since the Terror Arrows description simply says, "On Vorpal: Target is subject to a Phantasmal Killer effect." So it might simply be the regular spell, which means it can be Deathblocked. For that matter, the description doesn't explicitly mention that the PK DC is based on the same formula as the other AA effects and...well, this is DDO. Never presume things work like you think they ought to work until you test it for yourself.

The idea I had been toying with was a build with Paralyzing Arrows + ranged Coup de Grace (which doesn't rely on Swashbuckling): immobilize then instakill. More reliable than relying on vorpal effects, IMHO, if you can get your DCs high enough...that's a very big if, though.

Nice!

Turbine: we can't fix our code, so it's a "lore thing."

Well, all I can say is good luck and please don't delete this thread when imbues are fixed. I like being able to look up crazy build experiments!
