1-30 Reaper Clonklock

[Yutaku]

Now with domains around, Animal one seems to be the way to go with this build.
I am currently playing a variant of the base, cle9/warlock5/monk 6 sun elf (sacrificed bit of warlock to get 9th level cleric domain feature), it absolutely rocks.

sadly tilo deleted all his builds before leaving (i would say he left, dunno the reason tho, but all the builds he deleted had an impact in DDO, his builds are original, different and look funny too play, nowadays most builders stick to the same t5 and cores and t4, he lookef for sinergy beyond the easy to see)

that said, we won't know his domain selection, which is sad, he could have taken another option getting bigger hits prolly, or changing the build from scratch, like he did transforming his shuri critzilla to electric critzilla

also i told him something "i like that build(electric critzilla) hope i manage to play it sometime, cause i've missed my chance in lots of nice and old builds", looks like i won't be able to play none of his builds

i'm fan of gimping myself, guess that's what leads me to avoid copying builds, but appreciate the ideas lol


TILO COME BAAAAAACK DDO NEEDS MORE PLAYERS LIKE YOUUUUUU

xD

1. Animal forms will now use the stats of the player's main hand weapon for melee attack purposes, such as Base Damage, Critical Multiplier, Critical Range, all Enchantments, Material traits, procs, etc. The issue with the power level of certain effects not scaling will be resolved by this as well.


Primal Avatar will be given some kind of damage boost to maintain its hard-hitting style with this change. It will also get Cleave animations to fix a bug with Cleave attacks caused by lack of animations.

Druid pass is going to change Avatar of Nature to use weapon damage die size, crit profile, and weapon cleaves. That is going to roughly 85% nerf monk AoN build in epics, from combined damage die and number of hits nerfs.

They won't be able to compensate AoN for monk builds with a 6x damage boost, because to do so would overpower barb tree builds, which are less affected due to using real weapons with higher damage die/crit already, and who lose less hits due to being uncentered for whirlwind attack.

So if you want to try out an AoN monk build, you have 6 months or so, before this build goes down forever. Math follows, for those that care.

--------------------------------------

Monk AoN builds use 2xkamas on live with CC/HAMP/defensive benefits which are 1d6 20x2.

The damage die reduction from 1d20 to 1d6 is going to remove 66% of their damage per hit.

-------------------------------------

The rotation is cleave, great cleave, WWA, auto attack at 50% double strike. Using live unarmed AoN hits 1xAoE, 2.3xAoE, 4.1xAoE, and 2.3xSingle Target, for a total of 7.4 hits AoE and 2.3 hits single target.

Weapon cleaves don't double strike, and weapon Whirlwind attack doesnt get an extra attck, so the proposed weapon rotation will be 1xAoE, 1xAoE, 1.5xAoE, and 1.5x single target, for a total 3.5 hits AoE and 1.5 hits single target.

The damage reduction from using unarmed to weapon cleaves is going to remove ~54% of the AoE hits.

What do you gear for on a Clonklock?

[Heathir]

Are you constantly dropping in and out off tree? seems like the tree form drops alot

[Tilomere]

From OP:

Heroic Gear: Handwrap monk gear with some light spell power

Epic Gear: Crowd control main hand kama (heroic GS radiance, blinding fear paralyzing tf, LGS Salt or freezing ice , paralyzing, meteoric, etc)
HAMP offhand kama (20/40/60 hamp heroic greensteel kama, 150 stacking positive spell power, 50/70 HAMP legendary affirmation legendary greensteel kama)
Lots of tanky gear with more stacking healing amp and positive spell power. Something with accuracy.

Yes. You can't stay in form. From OP:

Does any of the other gear even matter?

I never have made a gs item in 20 past loves lol. Paralyzing kamas are hard to come by in the 20s. I am using pro gloves for amp. But not sure what to do for the rest of the gear

Thank you and yeah it feels broken. Did lords of dust reaper 3 at if I 25 with no death and solo

In my trial I just used Celestia and an off hand Hamp Kama as suggested. All of my GS items I've made have come from my near daily clear of Devil Assault. If it doesn't drop a token it will drop either an energy cell (medium I think, uggh), or a Shard of Power of any level. So, ya, just run that besides which at e/e or r the Paralyzing...hmmm doesn't work so well. Celestia has two blinding effects. If you don't have Celestia...dunno, but I am not sure you need it anyway as obliterating things just happens, no real need for status effects, might as well use Forester's Brush Hook.

[Tilomere]

Tier 1 Thunder Forged Blinding Fear main hand / T1 TF or LGS devotion off hand works well too, and is very cheap. Then if you really like it and want to play build a lot, look at more invested options.

So I ITRed on Saturday morning into a Morninglord, I am at 17 now and wanted to hit 20 on Sunday but Sarlona took a dump. I Reaper okay in a group and can Reaper 2 but dang it's slow, I kind of suck, don't blame Tilo, and I frequently Leroy Jenkins TR without having gear first.

Will try to hit 20 tonight only 800,000 exp to go

So, I hit 30 with this build, it pretty much felt the same going up in level to 30 right from 20. At level 20 I got into an anniversary party group doing level 29, 20-24 group. I was able to solo two bosses before the rest of the group finished up the rest and the run. Then still level 20 I did into the mists on Legendary Elite, and ya, it was a bit slower, but dang, not hard.

I love this build interjected with 3 wiz lives (thanks Slarden), will probably Morninglord this again, maybe doing 3 Epic past lives before it all falls apart.

Edit, back to 18.5 on this which will be my last cleric (3rd) until maybe my final character, as I have two paladin lives to do (thanks Tilo), and then racials. Racials are because I want to play an elf with displacement on basically every character I play lol

I must say, the build is fine to 20, but it's tough knowing a Tree is in your future, I feel so wimpy compared to that.

[Tilomere]

Updated OP for Update 38, and for staying at cap with a sentient weapon. Changed it up to boost heroic rotation up a bit and due to HeM nerfs.

[Whitering]

Well, I played this in LH Shroud last night, and...they did something to cleaves, there's no animation per se, but a timing to it. I can get through cleave, great cleave and whirlwind, and by then cleave is off rotation. Prior to the patch I had time to do at least one regular attack, so overall it feels slower and the timing has changed, but the power hasn't changed a lot that I can see but now you have to actually watch your timings, it's annoying, I put that hotbar now right in the middle of the screen.

[LooniProject]

What Epic PL ya got to make this solo viable?

[Tilomere]

None are needed. I used this to get EPLs.

[TheAulldeath]

Im on a racial PL grind, and decided to give this a shot for a heroic life. Currently I'm level 12, and I just feel wimpy. My melee's aren't really on par, my eldritch blasts are weak. I have sonic/light sp items, and decent gear, but I just feel gimped in going either melee or working it like a 'lock. Any tips to make it work?
Ive gone through several different enhancement variants, and going with the OP of Burst/Blast/WWA just feels sub-par. Soloing in R1 at level, it takes several rotations to kill the group of mobs, that which a basic warlock could blow through in half a second.
