Just a suggestion: subdivide Specialists into Bow, Thrower, Bow/Thrower hybrids (even if this repeats with Ranger and monk) along with other possible specialist divisions.

I would also add a 200 word description summarizing each build (I know that is a lot of work, but this looks like it will get pretty big).

Specialists is poorly named; those will be constrained builds like challenge farmers and dual-box openers.

Do you think I need more write-up than what's included in the Rangers post?

Not sure. Just seems like divisions based on class have been replaced by more generalized gameplay approaches like 'Thrower/Melee etc.'

Here is Jakeleela's Thrower:
Fury Stars: 12 Ranger/6 Monk/2 Fighter - Human
https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...Thrower-Builds
Variant under test is 14 monk/6 ranger

Those two splits are the best thrower builds right now. He also has some archived stuff a few posts down.

Rogue builds

For assassins, there is CThru's https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...san-s-Assassin
and Slarden's https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...Assassin-Build
Nokowi will probably update his builds soon
Slarden has some dex-based assassins too that use halfling dragonmarks. the idea is similar to Cthru's.


Mechanics are pretty cookie-cutter

Then there are technique threads for classes, like this one meant for assassins: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...ssin-Technique


Archived out-of-date builds:
My THUG build is really out of date as it will not survive in the toughest content:
https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...n%27s+assassin
But it is great for grinding out stuff in destinies if one runs dailies etc. But it is not top-notch.
Similarly, my Twilight Blade of the Dragonheirs is out of date.

I should have no real issues doing that build as a PDK, right? It just slightly shuffles the class order by having a fighter level at one, but the feats should still work out fine unless I'm missing something.

Hmmmm.

Well, I have the entire first page to work with. (20 posts.) I'm open to any ideas for a better way to organize things. Would fighting style be better? The concern is that I don't want any one post to have too many builds, but I recognize that very similar builds might have different primary classes and it might not make a ton of sense to split them into different posts.

Fighter levels are taken last in his setup--see link--you would miss out on a feat

In the end, I don't think it matters--this could be an awesome resource.

Is there community interest in assembling a library of builds? I'd be willing to maintain the lists, but would need people to point them out so I could add them.

Do you intend to sieve Sigtrent's and Kent's threads? At least for the highlights of 2015?

Possibly some, but I was more thinking of linking directly to those threads as a resource for requesting custom builds.

You might also want to consider earmarking new-player (28 pt/Drow) builds and also solo builds, which are sub-categories within all the above classes.

Edit: Actually, the variety of sub-categories listed here https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...ld-Get-a-Build show how many general groups could be needed. :/

Just a suggestion: subdivide Specialists into Bow, Thrower, Bow/Thrower hybrids (even if this repeats with Ranger and monk) along with other possible specialist divisions.

I would also add a 200 word description summarizing each build (I know that is a lot of work, but this looks like it will get pretty big).

200 words is a short essay - unnecessarily long and bulky imo. ~50 words should sum it up, and the user can compare details or ask in forums if they feel they need to.

And if someone wants a "ranged" build but are picky about the exact weapon, ~they~ can go to the trouble of sorting for exactly what they want.

That said, "ranged" (aka Archer) is a valid sub-category of many classes - ranger, rogue, cleric, druid, etc.

New Player builds get their own section inside each post.

[EllisDee37]

I'm slowly but surely adding builds, but it's not quick. The initial lists are still very much under construction. I'll make a post noting when I consider the first pass complete.

[EllisDee37]

Anyone know of a build thread for the barbarian Occult Slayer flavor build with super high spell resistance? I remember video of it soloing EE WGU, but that was before the barbarian pass, I think.

I will post links to my Barbarian, Ranger and Warlock build when I get them on the forums. I will start with my warlock build since their seems to be the biggest deficiency in that area. All my builds are new player friendly.

[EllisDee37]

Nice! The more builds the better.

Note that there's no real rhyme or reason to which builds I've added so far. I basically just started with builds I was familiar with, and now am starting at the beginning and adding any build with thousands of views that aren't more than a year or so old. (Cutoff verying based on when their class pass was, if they had one.)

So far I've "finished" the first pass for barbarians, bards and clerics. Everything else has what amounts to a random collection of builds. Warlock might end up being one of the biggest sections, akin to bards, for all I know. Just haven't gotten to it yet.

[Eclaveriia]

I think completionist builds should have their own subsection within each class.

As for cutoff, I think their enhancement pass or 1 year is a good start.

I don't think thousands of views should be a criteria for inclusion, but at the same time you can't be expected to look for every build that someone decided to post that got buried 6 pages back. Some builds may be good without having have been viewed a lot. I don't know how many posts I have seen about players looking for build advice when builds that were suited were buried 3 to 4 pages deep and they did not have the patience to look for that build and the search engine did not find them. But I also think that people who post builds that are intended to help others should try and post the links here to help make your work easier.

[EllisDee37]

It's not, it's just how I'm choosing builds for the initial pass when it comes to builds I'm not familiar with.

EDIT: I like the look of that Sacred Knight. Added!
