So I got this Idea while playing my 10 Fig / 8 Bard / 2 rouge with the bard freezing attacks and some one said who needs CC when we got you. While running the new u29 quest on hard with two lev 28 guildies and I was only lev 25 I was freezing everything in my path but found that there was still some cool down time in between the two freezes, lay waste, and stunning shield which did not always hit because I was a Cha build and used str for that to hit but when it did it worked because still gets cha for DC. Not only was I mostly stopping the mobs but was out DPSing the other party members because of the +100% damage I was getting (Helpless monsters take an extra 50% damage from all sources + Combat Brute: Passive Bonus: You gain +1[W] damage with melee weapons and deal +50% damage to helpless opponents while any Action Boost is active) with SB Double strike boost, LD Haste boost, LD Thick Skinned boost, and PDK Damage boost I almost always had one going. So thought I could make a build that had no time waiting for cool down and would get more then 1 or 2 guys with my lay waste.
I came up with this "The Tactical Master"

Notes:
I have a + 6 supreme tome that evens out the stats but it is not in the planer
Feats:
lev 14 Tactical Combatant {+4 Tactical DC's}
lev 20 Tactical Master {+6 Tactical DC's}
lev 29 Dire Charge
lev 30 Scion of the Astral Plane
DC's: Did the math with just a + 10 Item on relevant stat & Int for KTA mod, +10 Item and insightful + 5 could be better and will be but just so you can see a what the math looks like
stunning blow: base 10 + stat 15 + 10 Stunning item + insightful + 5 + 16 feats +7 Enh + 6 ED + 1 PL = 70
trip: bace 14 + stat 15 + 10 Vertigo item + insightful + 5 + 16 feats +7 Enh + 6 ED + 1 PL = 74
The Frozen Fury: base 10 + stat 15 + 10 Stunning item + insightful + 5 + 16 feats +7 Enh + 6 ED + 1 PL + 4 (1/2)bard lev = 69
Spinning Ice: base 14 + stat 15 + 10 Stunning item + insightful + 5 + 16 feats +7 Enh + 6 ED + 1 PL + 4 (1/2)bard lev = 73
Lay waste: base 10 + Character Level 28 + 15 Str mod = 43 (seems to work with a much lower DC so this should do good)
ED: Legendary Dreadnought
Twist:
- Rejuvenation Cocoon
- Legendary Shield Mastery
- Sense Weakness
Plz give me you thoughts on this, any incite as how I could make it better. or any other build to achieve my goals wile still keeping up the DPS. When I get it all worked out will post it on my tread "Kent's custom Character Builds"
