2nd life for Llogi

[FranOhmsford]

1st Life Halfling Pure Arti - Managed somehow to get to 30 and ER, Now I'm TRing {Not going to 30 a second time this life - No way!}.
Arcane Sphere - Done - Past Life: Enchant Weapon
Shadowdancer - Done
In Grandmaster

2nd Life?

What would be my best option?
Ranger Past Life?
Rogue Past Life?
Multiclass Wizard/Rogue/Arti?

I need a Build preferably for Svirfneblin so I can do some Destiny Farming - I will Iconic TR to 3rd Life immediately upon hitting 30 and having enough Seeds.


P.S. Maybe this should have gone in Arti Class Forum but what if I end up going with a Build that has no Arti in it - Ranger/Rogue/Wizard for example?

[FranOhmsford]

Anyone?

Are you going for completionist? Or are you going for a specific type of build?

Past lives have different priorities depending on what you want to do with it.

If you're trying to run a ranged build, take Ranger for past lives.

If you want to run a caster life, run a wizard/rogue.

If you want to run a melee, run rogue, because I don't actually think past lives mean anything for a melee.

In my opinion the most generaly useful past life/lives are pdk pali. Sprint boost prr and heal amp help every class. Since you have arti gear maybe pdk pali 10/ fighter 8/ rogue 2. Int based since you have some nice int gear probably. Playing as a crossbow kensai and as a pali. you will be able to make some use out of all the divine spheres and legendary dreadnought even get shiradi and fury leveled usefully if you want. I would shoot for 38 points in kensai. 12 points in harper. 24 points in sacred defender 1 in mech rogue. 5 free to put where ever.

Well I eventually went with this build Unbongwah gave me in the Builds thread...

Taking a stab at this and incorporating Tilomere's idea of using Color Spray SLA + light repeaters:

Which I of course immediately went and messed up by forgetting to put the extra point in Dex at Lvl 12 {so no Imp Precise Shot yet}.










Seems good so far if a little slow - Loving Colour Spray and my Paralyzing Light Repeater.

[FranOhmsford]

Taken 16 now and got that extra point in Dex, Been to Fred and swapped out Dodge for Imp. Precise Shot.

Ran Foundation, Cry, Lordsmarch I+II, Mired, Memoirs, Trial of the Archons, Relic and Made to Order in Groups, the only other quest Soloed {with Tempys} so far is the Lvl 12 {so no BB}:
