there's many possible ways to make this work, both for enhancements and level split ... if you already settled on pdk and thf, should go for maul and silvanus prly.
im currently puzzling around with this myself for one of my alts. atm he is 2nd life on same split with 12 fvs and has the tier5 in kensei for more dps. kinda wanna go back to the aura next life though and have it a bit sturdier. some of the choices I made in twists and feats could be changed for more dps. also considering a variation with stunning blow and dire charge

[Raiztlin75]

looks good i but dont have the tomes thats looking for

[unbongwah]

https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...ns-of-Silvanus

I'd probably go with the cleric 13 / ftr 6 / barb 1 split: Radiant Aura, Kensei DPS bonuses, Tenacious Defense, +10% run speed & +6 dmg from barb splash. Biggest downside is saves are relatively poor, but...well, that's why you have all that self-healing and buff spells in the first place.

[Eryhn]

looks good i but dont have the tomes thats looking for

well, you didn't state what life and tome base you are working with so i just copy pasted my current work in progress for my onw toon's next life. if you are 28, 32 or 34p build, no big deal, can adjust stats accordingly. as for INT and skills, that is something to consider, too but intimidate for one isn't a must.

which way you intend to play it is also a good question:

as for my above posted, it will be run weekly in a mixed strength raid group running usually peaks and deathwyrm on EH, defiler, shroud and sometimes hound just normal, and tempest spine on hard or norm if shortmanned when we arent full yet. it's intended to be a 2ndry healer to the melee around me with aura and consecration aboard that can contribute some dps on trash in LD while we have a proper cleric in group, while later during the eve when the main cleric went to sleep i want to be able to either heal wyrm and peaks a bit in exalted angel or tank an EH dragon in unyielding without having to bother with grabbing a shield depending on whatever the group happens to need most.
once i got him capped at 3rd life and got the destinies and EPLs i might feel like adding (like 3x divine for +30 pos and +9PRR) i will let him sit there as a well rounded alt for non high difficulty raids.

hence, in that scope, i like the +8 to saves from pally, and I'll invest in stuff like INT to level intim and umd to be able to scroll tensers and fireshield cold/hot amongst others, as well as some feats for more PRR and better/no fail saves over stunning blow/dire charge.

so, how u would like to play, what content and difficulty you aim for, how many starting ability points and tomes if any do you have?

P.S. the above link by unbongwah has lots and lots of nice silvanus builds. and he prly meant 13/6/1 split XD

[Tlorrd]

i would ditch pally levels ... cleric/fighter split ... dwarf, con based, maul wielding crusher with consecration.

[Raiztlin75]

12 cleric 8 fighter or 12 fvs 8 fighter melee maul pdk what would be more survivable and decent dps for soloing content i made one using the build that ubungowah has but dont have the stuff like i have on my main who will be going to his 4th life

[Vish]

PDK thf
I would go pally
Like a 15/4/1 classic battlecleric, just PDK
Have charisma higher than strength and you get dire charge adds
So put adds into charisma, and u get good saves, maybe 5 pally

Otherwise I would try twf bastardswords
Maybe 14/6 cleric fighter
Using the PDK theme

Haven't done a maul, u could give that a try,

[Raiztlin75]

i like the split i have of 12/8 if the build can not be done just say so and i will find another option to do what i am trying to accomplish

something like this

When exporting a build for posting on the forums, make sure you use the "Code Tags" format option; makes your posts much more readable.

AFAICT your build is identical to my FvS 12 / ftr 8 Champion of Silvanus linked upthread; or if it isn't, everything I had to say about the split is in that thread already.

[Raiztlin75]

unbongwah it is in fact your build but i was pointing out that i wanted something similar and i keep getting told to add pally which is not what i want to do
