By request - Halfling Mech w/ Cleric @ 6

[C-Dog]

Nothing much new here - this build for a LR for a broken build, but have to move Cleric to 6 to accomodate. Also swapped in Barb (@ 8) vs. Fighter (@ 12) for better kiting. Losing Rapid Shot is a small loss in DPS (it does not improve fire rate as much as advertised), and "faster kiting" can be more of a life saver imo for a newer player.

(If I were using this from Level 1, I'd suggest Cleric at 2, Barb at 4, for earlier use of both. The 7 Barb skill points would go 3 into Jump, 2 into Heal, 2 into Spot.)

I held off on Open Lock in favor of keeping Heal as high as possible - swap out Heal points for OL if you're running in to trouble (but w/ good gear, you shouldn't, just might have to keep trying until you roll high-ish).


Note - I changed one important thing from the original. I hate the feeble starting Str of 8 on a Halfling for a new player, but that's what the original had. Makes a Strength item mandatory or you lose Evasion, can't pick up heavy loot (when every item is badly needed cash), etc. etc.

This build doesn't take IPS until Level 18 - so if you can get 1,750 Favor before then, you can drop Dex by 2 and increase Str by 4 (all the way up to 12!), and grab a +2 Dex Tome then to make up the diff. This change is recommended, but not mandatory.

The original* had starting Str 8, Dex 18, so didn't rely on the +2 stat tome. Ymmv.

@ T - Sketched the start of your enhancements here.Some changes, since no Fighter/Kensai. You want to beeline to the Mech Core 6 (for Int to Damage w/ crossbow), the Tier IV Legshot & Fletching, and then balance the rest of Tier 4 & the Halfling self-healing line. Bank some points for Mech Tier V just before you hit Rogue 12, or respec something to get the points there - your best return on investment.

(And I'll fill the rest of this in later - no time atm, sorry)
