Looking for a Vistani Build

[SpartanKiller13]

I agree with this. Working on getting Dust now (Just need one more large stone)

This is also correct. All kinds of options if you go with Vistani capstone. Then you can play around with types of different class splits. Again, single-target/boss DPS is very good with Vistani capstone. But AOE is weak... And that makes it harder to solo.

AoE is why Dance of Death is so nice :/ but then you end up with some gish build or a 41/39 VKF/Tempest so you can get VKF Capstone & Dance of Death lol.

Occult slayer also adds Force damage

You're in OS for the 1d20 every 1s? Scaling with 200% MP, so being generous if you have 300 MP you're getting ~7d20 = 73.5 damage every second from this? With ~1.5 attacks/second, 100% offhand and 60% DS (15% offhand) and a 1.6 crit multiplier, and using the same 300 MP, that's equivalent to +2.8 damage. Assuming no Reaper penalties etc, or Haste Boost, or AS bonuses etc etc.

The build has raw 500 hp as first lifer;without items or any other boost or Destinies.

Assuming you mean level 20 then:

• 25 Heroic Durability
• 15 Improved Heroic Durability
• 180 Class Levels
• 20 Airship (Hag Apothecary)
• 10 Draconic Vitality (GH free)
• 40 Occult Slayer Core 3
• 12 Stalwart Defender

290 total

And as for multipliers:

• 25% Epic Defensive Fighting

So 377 assuming no gear or Con. With 20 Con you break 500 HP?

The build certainly does not have 6 AC nor 10 AC. It is over 70 with simple random loot. Additionally AC is only one of those layers of defense.(Prr/Mrr,Dodge,Evasion,Saves,Scroll and Wand effects) AC is not the main focus. It is not an AC tank. Nor a pure tank.

AC tanks have 4-500 AC lol. AC can be worth a minor investment yes, but probably a little more than 70 if you're melee. My aim is 120 for low-investment, or 180 if I'm an off-tank. Granted I recently finished my third Martial EPL so I have +9 AC at cap, but that's not make-or-break anywhere here.

I'm just impressed you are able to solo endgame Reaper etc good on you!

I asked something similar a year ago, and ended up settling on a pure FvS Blood of Vol Vistani, WIS-based. Haven't rolled one up yet, but will as soon as I'm done favor-farming for 5k.

The beautiful thing is that Lammania with its dojo is available now when they have Sharn previews, so you can take the chance to test some builds.

For example, I've mused about a bard splashed FvS Vistani, but after testing, I liked the pure better. Keep in mind that Vistani tree has lots of cool things in it that also don't stack with other trees. For example, One with Blades doesn't stack with Swashbuckling, as both are competence bonuses.

However, with ICrit the Swashbuckling threat range bonus is doubled, so having Swashbuckling will still add +1 threat range over plain Vistani.

Nice information there Spartan.


Thanks. I appreciate all that.


I really enjoy the core of the build thats why I shared. Best or worst I dont care really.


Stalward, Occult and Mechanic were allready my favorite trees before and I started using Vistani.So...



Now a much more fun build but I doubt it is more survivable without balancing Dodge and Prr/Mrr




The MRR cap is still there. And restrictions about armor vs Evasion has no doubt.



About Reaper r3+ (after many TRs,Epic destinies picked)


Higher Reaper being much better with Heavier armor and Pure critical/fort bypass build.But even tanks need CC ?

Can devs gives non-full tank of builds better chances at low reaper solo or small teams at Higher reaper ?

Does non heavy armor builds have to be CCer type even if not frontline tank builds ?




Btw I wish to make a parody out of forum talk. Ofcourse I dont mean anyone here but just to make silly jokes.




' My build is the best. No wait ! I am the best ! So why do you even play for ?' :P
