Bladeforged Self-Healing Evasionist DPS Tank

[WWen077]

This build, although different from Ancient's Nova-Soul Build, takes much inspiration from there (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...can-raid-heal?).

Without Ancient's post, I would not have thought of such a build. This build aims to increase Sorc survivability whilst maintaining as much of the Sorc firepower as possible, it ends up exchanging a little firepower for a massive increase in survivability so the benefits outweighs the costs. It also allows the use of the Iconics Bladeforged so you don't have to grind out lvs 1-15.....

Gear wise I am too lazy to repeat everything, Ancient gives some great advice in his Nova-Shiradi build threads, especially his idea of using the Skyvault Shield, it gives a massive bonus!

Have fun and enjoy!

I think the trading heavy armor for evasion is a bad idea, unless you have another way to make up for the loss of prr. I tried a similar evasion build long ago, but it paled in comparison to the build I ended up staying with for many years.

Thank you Ghwyn, I completely forgot evasion doesn't work with heavy armor and tower shields... lol. I was imagining the build to have both evasion and prr and that is not possible.

I think you saved me from a catastrophe there, I was gonna TR into this build and find that out the hard way lol
