Cetus: Supreme Bladeforged Fighter Reborn

[Mast3rR0b]

Are you switching to PDK in preparation for Reaper mode eventually? It seems to be a pretty big disadvantage unless you are running in a group of 6 bladeforged.

That's an interesting thought, actually..

Alright, these recent changes are very interesting.

I'm currently experimenting with the idea of building a 12 fighter 6 paladin 2 monk maul-wielder with the new deity bonus feat at level 6 pally. Using divine might would make gearing easier as insightful strength will no longer be needed.

I'll post my thoughts once I had sufficient time playing with the build.

EDIT: Nevermind, I guess bladeforged are getting discriminated here.

You may want to drop Bladeforged for party healing in Reaper mode anyways.

Have you considered 8 fighter/6 paladin/6 monk? You'd only lose 1 feat over Fighter, and while losing the Psionic clicky would suck, you'd gain more Melee power from Henshin, a second minor heal from Harmonious path (plus anti stun combo), and either Heal Amp + PRR + Jade Strike from Shintao or Shadow Veil + SA from Ninja Spy.

To lazy to type it all out, but a quick example AP split:

PDK: 1 AP (damage boost)
Henshin: 11 AP (30 Melee power and Quick Draw for action boosts)
Knight of the Chalice: 13 AP (3[w] cleave, 2 tiers of Divine Might, Ghost Touch)
Sacred Defender: 6 AP (25 PRR/MRR stance)
Shintao: 14 AP (20 PRR, 30 Heal Amp, Jade Strike)
Kensai: 35 AP (just what you have - 2 cores)


Though you would be on a pretty MAD character, wanting STR for DPS, WIS for DCs (and Will saves), CHA for DPS and saves, DEX for AC and saves (would drop Insightful as you're dropping INT and KtA), and CON for obvious reasons. There are a few points you could shuffle around to get another Ki strike or more Heal Amp from PDK... but between comparable Melee Power, stronger crit profile, 10% damage and -25% fort from Jade Strike, and a stronger cleave for trash, this build may out perform your current.

Hey Cetus, did pure for a while, went back to TWF ranger, and now I'm getting around to trying 18/2 monk centered kensei. Did you mess around with TWF or SWF? Other than farming Epic Riftmaker, I don't feel like farming out a tier3 TH TF weapon. I assume SWF crits will be close to THF vs. more hits from TWF. Was thinking before making it of going 12 ftr, 2 paladin, 6 monk, but that +1 crit multiplier was just to much to give up to squeeze in 10 melee power and quickdraw.

I am going through your equipment and I cant see any investment into charisma. How did you reach, I assume, no-fail UMD for tensers, GH etc.? thank you

Well, I guess this build is now retired. I attached a kobold beatdown video to the OP for the record.

sick time. I think you could get a faster time with twf set up. vacuum + toee set probably best. either way this is, i think, the fastest non exploit time on melee i have seen. monk wolves could potentially beat 20second mark. but it's a cheaty face wolf, so....

for overall fastest pure ranger fury shot should do around 10 seconds.
