32 ppint Artificer

[troublegurl]

Im looking for a first life 32 point build Artificer either Human or Warforged no tomes

[unbongwah]

Melee, ranged, or caster?

[troublegurl]

Realized I forgot to add that i usually play melee Im hoping to get a toon past level 6 finally and thought an artificer I'm not sure which way to lean towards?

[SlowDM]

There are builds on the forum.
I play a ranged, so don't know much about melee. I see that most melee arti's are multi class. With the harper tree you get int to hit and damage. Warforged for self repair is a no brainer.
If you're struggling then i think that self healing/repair is your big problem. Arti's are a jack of all trades but do excel at being able to level pretty easily.
I hope someone posts a decent link for you.

Strimtom lists base stat options for everything from 28- to 36-pts. I would probably use warhammers + Knight's Training feat. So something like this:

WF Meleeficer (U41)
Artificer 20
True Neutral Warforged

I wanted the +15 Melee Power from the Warforged tree, but that doesn't leave enough for most tier-4 RMM enhancements. Alternatively, drop RMM APs down to Battlefist and use them for more Harper and/or WF.


Since you're asking about first-lifers, I'll presume you don't have much if any gear to start. So if you've got White Plume Mountain, farm yourself a heroic Whelm; if not, farm a Nightforge Hammer. They gain +1 crit range from Knight's Training, +1 from IC:Blunt feat, and +1 from Reconstructed Arms. In epics you'll gain another +1 from Pulverizer, though naturally I presume you'll have epic weapons by then.

Thank you so much I can't wait till I get homeat 11pm to try it out !

[Ogok]

Melee, ranged, or caster?

I wonder what a ranged arti build looks like, seen alot of them running around with dual xbows and the gauntlet thing on as well??

Dual crossbows is the Inquisitive universal enhancement tree. Many diff builds, some with more or less (or no) levels of Artificer, have been posted.

32 ppint Artificer

Must be a dwarf, or possibly a gnome or halfling - most others would balk at 32 pints.
