Soulrazor

[ClanBastage]

Your build isn't diverse, it's deficient. Adding 2 monk levels just to add 2 monk levels doesn't make it interesting and chomping at the bit to use Knight's Training like everyone else doesn't exactly give you hipster status.

You do you, like everyone else. But I don't see a reason get salty about people offering suggestions that are better than what was presented. That kind of goes along with posting a build if it's not optimized.

I am not adding the monk levels just to add them...they give me feats, access to 1.5W from a twist, access to the stances, which allow me to get to standing dodge at 48% (deficient I think not...) I know the build is not "optimized" as far as DPS is concerned but I hold my own in any party I am in and its not just some cookie cutter build that everyone else is running. When I mentioned diversity, I mean the fact that DDO, unlike most other similar games, offers literally millions of different combinations of character creations...some fantastic and other not so, but it is that diversity that keeps players here and interested. Also, not looking for hipster status...just like the idea of running around in my cosmetic ninja suit with dual cosmetic Siroccos (which kinda look like katanas), and using longswords...its pretty fun....after all isn't that what this is all about??

Frankenstein cleric build
Reminds me of Tilo
Not pretty, but pretty good

But I've already explained my reasons
But here's some more
I've been running elf ranger monk last two lives
Want to see it to epics
Don't really need either ranger or cleric past live
But I'd like to run a scourge
And I'd like to get a soulrazor
And this fits with what I'm aiming for
I want to see the stats on it
Is it optimized? Pretty close
It's not a tempest dex scimi build, but I don't want one of those
I want to see the stats on the ranger monk
Of course there are better builds
But it's got to fit my theme for what I'm going for

And I have lotta reservations
Bringing a cleric icon to a raid brings certain expectations
Usually tanking or healing, not dps
And I'm interested in the elegance of the build
I have a melee cleric, vish my guild leader
I know how it plays
No quicken, no extend on Frankenstein
You have to cast to keep your buffs up
And in melee that's a chore
I prefer self sufficient builds
With the ranger I can just melee and not worry the cast
And I'll be accepted to raids for my dps
So it just works out better from my point of view

I play for fun
I was more excited by clans posting since he had words of encouragement,
And was actually running the build
Jacking the thread with Frankenstein better build,
When that's not what I'm looking for
Kinda a turn off

I suggest to hjarki or emerge that you run the cleric build,
And post stats on it

Notes
Took a week to do 15-21, but we had that 3 day layoff there
Still need to do coin lord favor for 2 bag slots
But very happy with the build so far
Got to 21, put on the cc gear. Crafted melee alacrity 15 on the goggles, that's such a sweet fit for what I run.
Picked up 2 oath blades. Sentient the main with 5pc prowess. Still have 3 slots open. But they're both 14-20. So super amount of crits. X4 or x5 19-20. So super dps. Ran some r1 von1-4 when 20, seeing great damage. But monsters went up to 10k, so it still takes some chopping. Oh ya 4w with dance. So excellent low epic dps.
But numbers are looking good. 69 wis. I'm still wearing chieftain, all I'm getting out of it is qual wis and some saves. Will prob drop it and put on pinnacle, for crowd control. But got pretty max gear at 21. This is a sweet spot. Pretty much what I'll wear to 29, then ravenloft gear. May test out a tf or LGS in the off hand, see if it's any better.
Hp 1600, AC 130 dodge 42. Good defenses, bookoo hp. I think something not right on the dodge tho. By my calcs, I should be at 44 mdb. So I'm short 2 somewhere. Either fencing master or mobility isn't applying? Idk when I redid ships buffs, I saw fencing master raise it 2. So makes me wonder if mobility doesn't grant 2 mdb? That would require feat swaps to check. Def will not mess with that just to find out. But it would match a top 48 mdb that clan bastage was reporting, if he went the full 41 points into grim at 30. I guess I'll find out.
Prr is good at 140, mrr maxed. Doublestrike ok at 25, melee alacrity maxed? At 15. That was so sweet I could craft that on cc21 goggles. Don't have to rely the boots now. Saves are good. Around 60. Tho I have been getting danced a couple times. Melee power is kinda low static at 46, but I got epic moment to boost 50, plus melee power boost for 30 and prowess boost for 50. So 176 tops. I'd rather more, but I'm not running in ld. Plan on getting a divine pl out of this. Doublestrike to 75 too, so there's that. I should get it higher at 30. I have molten, but I'm gonna wear crumbling.
The ap broke out just as expected. I was thinking of trading the mdb in ninja for melee power, but not yet. It's only a 2 twist, and this is same thing I did on my monk. Was twist in from ld. For 16 ap for 2 monk is pretty sweet return. As well as the 23 for killer instinct. 41 maxxed me. I should break it down, but I do like some mystery. Basically I took the dodge mobility line, and left the dex gains and the electrical damage behind. I'm getting 4 wis out of my 12 dire, getting my hp out of grim, and picking up a little with dread. I'm imagining I'll get my wings about same time I get racial completionist. Still got 10 lives to do. Ok 13 with tie fling. Sigh. Sometime this year.
It's weird. I haven't done an iconic in super long time. It was strange building and playing it from 15-20. ?*I just finished a 15-20 on my last tr so it was like stepping into endgame. So much stuff that I missed, but I'll get good first time bonuses this life. Will prob make for a fast level. I may have to juke some low level stuff, since I completely skipped iq, and that's mostly coin lord. But I don't really need the bag space yet anyhow. If I have quests left over, like elites and hard, I may etr at 30 for even another divine. Will have to see how easy this goes. But it was pretty boss killer in heroics, and so far in reaper1 I'm hanging just fine.
The only real diff between this and the elf build is displacement. But since I wasn't running extend, and I had only four charges, and my defenses were gravy anyways, the bestest is healing hands. Such a life saver. It's like I'm a mini cleric. I always like having healing on my builds, ESP melee, and the Csw and Cmw with a huge spell pool make me backup healer. Or the cleric healer. Oh ya, more gravy. I have consecration on this build. So stand and fight healing with sacred ground for 10% dps boost. Overall very satisfied. Very good synergy. And that 4w at 14-20 is ungodly. So yes, monsteritus. Oh ya and hamp of 115 is cherry on top. Lots of cherries on this cake. A cherry cake
Ok that's notes for now. Will post if I swap gear or add stuff.

Oh one last thing. Even tho I have full attribute modifier on off hand, it doesn't show same in the inventory box. My weapons damage is 60 main, 45 off hand. Is that just display error?

[Thrudh]

SoulrazorMass frog and ein, and about a 96 wisdom?

Can you break down your 96 wisdom?

[Vish]

Can you break down your 96 wisdom?

Here was my breakdown from my 101 monk,
In theory crafting the celestial monk, in monk

Wisdom breakdown
20 starting aasimar
7 level ups
20 necklace
7 insightful, goggles
4 qual, ring
2 bird man
2 aasimar
2 racial past life human aasimar
6 gmof
2 festive wisdom
6 tomes, +7 wisdom
1 exceptional from globe
2 completionist
4 Grandmaster of water
2 profane disciple
4 reaper
2 Shintao
94
Short 6?


Missing
2 reaper helm...
2 racial completionist
1 8 tomes
? Filagree
1 more reaper tree
2 slavers sorc

Notes
Not sure why I'm short 7 points. That's everything off top of my head. Because I have 97 standing, 100 in reaper. I'll have to doublecheck everything.

Edit
Have a +7 wis tome. So 94. Still short 6. Checked everything. What I listed seems to be it. Haven't taken off all gear and rechecked. That's last thing to check.


Thruhd notes
I recall I forgot the capstone, which is +4 wisdom.
But I had a 101 on that monk build,
So basically I assumed 100, less the monk capstone,
For a 96

I think I was running a +1 wisdom filagree?
Sorry it's been some months since I ran that build
Difference is now I also got +8 tomes, so another +1

But there is a missing +2 in there somewhere, ie I'm short 2 from my calcs
I don't have racial completionist either yet, so it's not that
But that would add another +2
So I could see a 103 or 104

Oh ya and maybe only a 94, since I won't have a +2 from Shintao
But clan bastage said he pulled a 96, but I think he's racial completionist,
Which would make up the diff
I'm assuming with gear loadout same as my monk,
I should hit a 94 then

Doublecheck the monk thread, I think I said some other stuff too

[Vish]

Level 24
La de da. Destroying r1. So this life it's my intention to run all reaper. Other than dailys. But all quest chains will try to be bb with r1. I usually take what I can get when I'm pugging, but it seems the population can handle r1. And of course those I lead will be r1.
24 holding 25. Have run von1-4, c1c2 motu some hit and miss misc r4 with the knights. I don't really care for anything over r3 for melee, but the knights are a vet group. It just takes longer. And higher skulls is really where this build shines. Outstanding dps, great defense, cure spells and healing hands. Make for a very good melee support toon, specially since they don't have a dedicated cleric or healer. Just like arti or bard for support. But in the higher skulls, I've been saving asses with healing hands. I'm sure this will play at cap just like my aasimar monk. Can self heal even in high reaper.
That's the benefit of doing wisdom on a ranger, you get a maxxed spell pool. And Csw and Cmw are so cheap it's like an endless supply.
Otherwise, tearing it up. Only changes I made was to swap chieftain for pinnacle, so I have some cc. Seeing it proc some of the time.
Oh ya dps. So my avg hits are like 100-120. Pushing up to over 200 when using zeal and mp boost. Crits are 600-800 avg and happen a lot. So most of my dps is coming off the crit profile. Seeing crits over 1000 on some hits. So good dps. With high attack rate.
Hp re around 1750, wis is pushing 70.
No real changes until 28 with some slavers gear. Ravenloft at 29.

[Vish]

Level 28/29
Was 26 yesterday. So much easier leveling with first time bonuses. I'll def have to do some planning with the rest of my iconics. Like deep gnome to get wiz lives, and maybe more scourge to do some fighter or pally lives. Because I've been making great time on this build. All I did in heroics was gh and wheloon, so everything else is first time bonuses. Running reaper = bookoo xp.
Got to 28 yesterday. Put on the slavers gear. Which was swap to legendary executioners, the con necklace, wis ring and slavers trinket. Ran some EE dailys and got first time that was big xp gain. I think I'm going to sit on the divine 6m for when I roll my monk thru Sharn. Thought I get a divine pl out of it, but this is iconic, so get the scourge and a ranger. Oh well I wanted to see this build.
Well I was 26 holding 27, and I wanted to do gh on r1. But got in with group of 30s running EE, so I lost bb? But maybe not since I did it in heroics? Ya. So got first time EE. And did crucible. Never do that unless there's a swimmer in the group. Then did big run of EE dailys, and had enough to take 27, then 28. Then did gh, and ran some more dailys this morning to get to 29.
29 put on the ravenloft gear. Fleetwood neck, cloak of Strahd, crumbling gloves, braided cutcord, legendary disciple for silent avenger, bracers that give the prr. Oh ya also at 28, legendary prowess. And then flightfoot boots, and slavers con qual wis ring. So I'm still missing 2 pieces at 30. Goggles and trinket. But that should be today. Need to flag ravenloft at r1. That will be all first time. And flag 2 for shroud. And I want to do a EE chrono scope to finish my coin lord favor. Sitting 149 out of 150 needed. Doh. Can also do storm horns for first time. And grim chain. Prob do those mid reapers.
So some numbers. I have 1700 hp, around 2250 reaper. 196 AC, still 41 dodge. I'm running CE. Also, when I put on the 30 gear, I'll put on lpinnacle and that'll give me adherents. Was at 180 prr. So 200, or 220 if I twist improved CE. Also astral will give me 4 more dodge, and I'll reset my grim for max mdb. I think mobility only gives mdb to light, not no armor. So off 2 there. But 41+4+1 more reaper should see 46. And wis is at 85. Got the 20 got the qual, got +4 on the goggles as is. Will get 3 more at 30 and 3 reaper and 2 festive. So 93. Will likely slot a +1 wis in sentient to even it for raids.
Weapons. Ran c1 rl with a group earlier level, grabbed the longsword. Then bought another. Bought 10 more toolkits, had 5 needed 6, so swapped out gem and prowess. Still have 3 slots. Could get 15 more mp? A 2 set and a 5 rare? Ya anyway, mp was at 80 something. Sitting. That's with 8 from prowess ring. Will lose that tho. So close to 200 mp boosted. Will have to do. And swords are at 6.5w. So my base dps should go up. Dont know the crit profile didn't look it.
Picked up CE, frog and dire charge. Charge should be around 120 boosted. Sitting at a little over 100 right now. And frog doesn't show dc. But it should be good enough for r1 baba. Will get astral and precision at 30. So it's building pretty similar stats to my monk. I'm pretty happy.
Only question is how long to stay at cap? I don't know when Sharn will drop, sometime April? They haven't done loot or quests yet on lamannia, and prob get the preorder end of this month. I'm sitting at 59 reaper with about 50k to next point. Could do some high reaper runs and get in some raids. Maybe a week or so? I had a dwarf ek sitting on the docket, so I get could get another +1 con. That would take prob 10 days. But I also want to reroll into aasimar monk for Sharn, so that's like 2 weeks. So maybe a week at cap here, raid some, burn some timers, and get another rxp, and then reroll into monk. I want to farm for the belt out of wrath, and a couple scimis from toxic treatment. For an eventually pure ranger tempest. So I got a few things to run. I'll have to see how this build performs mid reaper. And see when Sharn drops. So max couple weeks likely. After tie fling, I will still have 13 lives to go for racial, that's still another six months. But I'll prob stay on monk at cap for Sharn for couple months, and farm that. So that's my plan.
Ok enough for now, will post stats at 30.

10 action boosts. Haste, mp, and run speed. Also 5 killer instinct and 4 reaper doublestrike.
Melee power max is 83+50+50+30 or 213
Doublestrike max is over 100 for 30 sec.
Dodge is gravy at 48. Prr is gravy at 237. AC is good at 212.
Dps. Didn't get real numbers on this yet. But it's good.
Was 29. Ran a da and an en von3 and ate about 4k gem to cap. Early in day I ran c2-3 ravenloft and that took me almost to 30.
Put on the goggles and trinket.
Stepped into r1 mist to record the stats.
Then a lfm came up for r6 curse the sky. Had 10k fvs. A finger warlock, a monk, and a first lifer fighter and rogue. Most stuff was instakill, went pretty smooth. Only died once by a 1 save on a wail. Kited malicia while they cleared the room, and then tanked her with healing support. Was impressed at defense on this build. Dps wasn't best but it was r6. Cycled boosts and sacred ground, stood there had aggro and took her down. Excellent healing, didn't die.
Then ran slime kobold quest too at r6. Again I tanked the demon and end boss kobold. Didn't die once. Pulled like 5k rxp each with first time bonus. Flagged for shroud. Used duality for the slimes. 10w.
built out exactly as planned. 64 dex 64 con 94 wisdom. Good stats. Good saves. Reset grim and took capstone.
Only thing I'm missing is feather fall. Will buy a gem and slot in cloak.
Definately a killer build.

[Vish]

Update raids
Ok this build is performing.
Getting down the cycles of epic moment and boosts.
Basically learning to keep doublestrike maxxed out all the time. I get 50 from zeal, 30 from thousand cuts and 30 from reaper boost. So working on a rotation.
Ran some r5 c2/c3. Did pretty good. As always most stuff handled by the instakillers. Mostly just there for reapers and boss. Don't really think this is better dps over my monk build, but I'm not running raid weapons. May be more time than I can spare to e er see even one soulrazor. And then I'm not sure I'd go for it. But if I did it would be on this build.
Ran a EE chrono. Too easy. Got my coin lord favor. Inventory to 8 slots.
Then ran some raids this morning.
LH baba. Can frog totems and scarecrows just fine with standing 91 wisdom. Will yet test in r1.
Then a r1 tempest. A LH hound and a r1 DOJ. Still need a killing time and Strahd. But I'm just running with what's being pugged.
The tempest went smooth. Got blown off twice, but on the second time I got tossed same as the barb, and we landed together. Thought we have to fight our way back. But surprise, he had ddoor. I have 10 scrolls of ddoor. Never really thought to carry them, but maybe now I will. Oh ya pulled the archer armor. Think I already have a set. But we were stragglers, so no one to pass to. I haven't even looked them yet.
Then a LH hound, went smooth. Got some more runes.
Then a r1 DOJ. Very easy with vet group. Everybody had dps and hit points. I was covering with a 20 ranger scorge using maces. He did fine. Ya actually r1 all I would run this on if I could, but like I said we had vets, and this was at 9am in the morn. So varied times to get your raids in. Was looking for a fell blade but it didn't drop. Saw visions drop, but they were passed to someone else without a roll. Not that I would really use them, as it screws up my gear, but maybe I could recraft a new trinket. But they'd be nice to have.
So ya, I'll try to get in a killing time. Saw one yesterday, but ln. I mean that's all you'll get from pug on Sarlona. Even tho vets hang, you gotta have roles covered with anything over normal. Healers and tanks. And they gotta be independent. Actually a kiter too for those demons. So it takes a half guild to just set it up. But I'll see what comes.
Same with Strahd. Needs coordination. But I might get lucky and run it early morning with the Chinese, I've done that before. They can door the card room.
So overall, back at cap running mid reaper and raiding. This build performs quite well, so I'll be able to hang. And I'm known for dps, so it's covered.

Other notes
Reaper to 60
Guild to 78

In other notes
This last Friday I rolled a 100 for my weekly. Got a 10k gem a lesser heart and a scarecrow. Was weirded out for a couple days, since I looked my inventory and couldn't find the heart. Also couldn't find what I thought was a 15k gem. So I put a ticket in. Then I looked again this morning and found it. Idk it's weird how you miss things like that. Coulda swore I looked like 3 times. But I cancelled the ticket before they could respond. I thought I suffered a rollback or something. You don't forget the 100s.


Thread notes
So I've been in heroics since last 3-4 months. Since they rolled out threads. So I got my first threads today. Woppee, 19 for a LH baba. But gotta start somewhere. So after the raid I clicked on them to see what kinda rewards. Filagree and tomes. For like 500 and 1000. Man that is serious grindosis. For such marginal gains. But it's a carrot I guess some will chase. Also some upgrades to weapons, mythics. But for the most part it looked like forever land to me, as I'm not in a raiding guild. Nothing in there I can ever even reach within months. Not with 20 drops a time. So generally pretty worthless. Maybe if I'm playing this game in a couple years kinda turn on. Or if I go on discord and get into raids. Carrots at the end of a long stick. Oh well, I'll be back to raiding on my monk when Sharn drops. Prob stay there for couple months. See what it brings.

[Vish]

Update
Ok gonna retire this build
Gonna get ready for Sharn and rebuild my monk
Figured if I'm gonna stay at cap, it should be on a build I enjoy.
Not that I didn't enjoy this build. Just that I'm a monk, and I'd rather be monking. If I had a soulrazor maybe I test it some more, but as it was I didn't get in either a killing time or a Strahd. So that longsword is forever away. Maybe come back to it some time down the road.
But it performed just fine, it just doesn't have the cc I'm used to on my monk. Prob about same damage, since I was just using poor mans longswords. But I learned a few things. Ran some r4 raven door today, and was frogging scarecrows. Ya that's a sweet spot on this build, it has a spell pool. So it can endless frog and endless heal. So it's got versatility that the monk doesn't have. The monk has no spell pool, so froggin is sparse. But both have hands, and that's really the critical heals.
Farming wise I got a scimi, but still don't have the belt. That's fine, I'll farm on the monk. Oh ya, also learned about mdb. I can get 3 more top dodge out of grim in reaper. So this build had a 48, best I've ever had. On my monk, old dodge was 42, so I should see 45 now. Little gains. I also pulled some other loot I didnt have, like legendary acolytes goggles. Those are bis for a wiz. So eventually for when I do some wizzy deep gnome lives. Pulled a bunch of gem food too, put in bank and gave to vish so he could level his gem.
But I guess I'm not a sword user at cap. I enjoyed this build, it performed as I expected generally. I thought I would get higher crits, but I wasn't running ld and I didn't have soulrazor, so I guess that makes the diff. Ya need to farm another scimi and then I'll test a dex ranger to cap. This will give me a ranger life, so that's 2. Have one to give. Tho I may likely run other splits on my future scourge builds. Like fighter or pally, since I think I only have 1 of each, and I'd really like the hamp.
What else I learned. Iconics great for reaper xp. Since if you don't do it in heroic, you get full first time bonuses in legendary. So like 5k a pop in like r4 or r5. I'll definately keep this more in mind for my future iconics. Plus it makes leveling regular chains so much faster. I didn't use any slayer areas, or hardly did dailys at all, the xp from normal questing was so gravy.
So overall I was very happy with this build, and it would be my goto for a longsword build.

[Hobgoblin]

interesting build - looking at doing something similar - 1 monk 1 fighter 12 ranger then work from there.

im not a power gamer, but i have some gear, so it might work.

i remember you were saying no to pure ranger, but drama insued, would that not be more damage?

sigh edit the third.

so it comes down to 3 builds/ pure 18/2 or big split for heroics whats your take on that

Well, it depends whether youre going to cap or just a heroic tr

For cap, pure is recommended, for the capstone
But if you go dex, you gotta use scimis, and I didn't have them
Or if you go str, then you can use khopesh ie calamity
But I didn't have either those, so I split 18/2 ranger monk and went longsword

For heroics, I've been running ranger splits lately
Always in heroics I splash rogue for trapping
And I think at 14 or 16 you get Csw
So I ran a str dual khopesh build
That had a cleric splash for divine might too
Then I ran a monk splash using longswords, and going wisdom
In heroics it's pretty much a wash
You can look at the builds I ran in Vishs book of the dead, in custom builds
I really liked the 17/2/1 ranger monk rogue build because I like wisdom builds
For heroics, if you get 12 levels ranger you'll be good, maybe 14 for Csw
On that cleric splash I went /2 using str domain to get the +2 str
But on the monk builds you get extra AC due to wisdom
Either way, they are basically boss builds
Great dps for heroics
And you can range too so some archery draw of mobs
The only thing lacking is cc on the build, tho I think the str build had stunning blow
But in heroics, you mostly kill everything fast, unless high reaper
But I don't usually go over 3 reaper in heroics, because loss of dps
So it depends your gear, and what kinda weapons you have
Khopesh and longsword are both about equivalent now
I haven't tried scimis, but I will run a pure dex ranger eventually. I've been farming the scimis out of disciple of rage, ie toxic treatment
Good luck

Also, I saw 15/4/1 ranger fighter rogue for heroics
You can go /3 ftr and get the stalwart d
Remember, you lose 2 levels 19-20
So it be at best like a 14/3/1
But it'd have some higher defenses
But trick of the build is dps
And I found my AC and dodge we're good enough to hang r3 no problem
