Feedback on stun-based build
Nov 18th, 2010 at 3:22pm
Print Post  
Please give feedback on ways to improve this, as I threw it together quick, but I am not generally really good at making builds. Smiley

note: it includes no gear, and no buffs. i.e. its really the raw build, although I did add some basic gear in spots to get an idea of gear.

Thanks.

I've played two pure 20 fighters to endgame as a stunning build.  The dwarf TWF was much better than the THF, so that part works. 

I question the monk splash though.  The reason is the DC of the stun.  Is that the only reason for the splash, or were you picking up something else with it?  I was about 80% vs ToD orthons with a DC in the mid 40's.  Sure, I could stun trash but that was the difference between 2 swings and 4 to 5.  Stunning high hp mobs was where the build shined -- and that required a huge investment in a high DC.

Well, I was thinking that having a 2nd-chance stun if the first missed, plus if its "tainted" that jade prison thingy from Shintao.  And Rogue was just... I don't know, cause I needed F 12 and Monk 6, so had 2 leftover. Smiley lol

The best stunning build? Shintao Light  monk.

You can get both of the DCs up into the high 30's low 40's.

You also get a range stun which I believe is will based.  So, that is three stuns.  One is str based, one is wisdom based, and the ranged is charisma based.  Two fort save, one will save.  Pretty nice.

Kensai fighter can't quit match up to that, no offense to those of you that masturbate to your fighters day in and day out.

Charisma save?

That is what I meant by will based, a will based save.

Unless you mean the stat modifier that boosts it, it might be charisma.  I just logged in to check it out, then haven't touched the game in the last 2 weeks or so.

If it is, let me know, I will alter my original post.

Yes, that's what I mean I misread what you were saying.

Shintao Monk: Kukan-Do

You lock gazes with an enemy, stunning them for a short period of time on a failed Will save. (DC = 10 + Charisma Modifier + your monk level.) Any effects that modify your Stunning Blow or Stunning Fist DC's also affect this ability. Sightless creatures are unaffected by this ability.

My WF kensai stunner

Stun DC
10 base
10 weapon
12 (34 str conservatively)
3 kensai
7 enhancements
42 base
4 Kensai powersurge
2 madstoned
2 raged
1 Exc str
49 without trying real hard

This guy's a TR of a fighter, so a 50 DC is very attainable with kensai (WF or dwarf)  add in 10% doublestrike and 80% offhand attacks for additional stunning blow chances.  Other viable variants have slashing for DPS(dwarf axe or khopesh)

I was going to point out Kensei based tactical builds generally have some of the highest DC's ... on a tactical is hit without any real effort towards it... The shear factor being they the feating and because they run off str which is the highest buffable stat in the game. 34 str fighter is a conservative one ... many a level 20 kensei stand at liesure at 38 to 40 before kensei boosts or buff.

Just as another data point, I came up with this build which has a standing stunning blow DC of 41, that gets up to 52 with normal buffs.

At a high level, it is a Half-Orc 12 ftr/6 barb/2 rogue.  The thing I like most about it is that the majority of the stun power comes from high strength.  So, your DPS will be higher (especially in an auto-crit environment) than a standard WF/dwarf that gets it's high DC from Tactics.

/shrug just something to consider.

At a high level, it is a Half-Orc 12 ftr/6 barb/2 rogue.  The thing I like most about it is that the majority of the stun power comes from high strength.  So, your DPS will be higher (especially in an auto-crit environment) than a standard WF/dwarf that gets it's high DC from Tactics.

/shrug just something to consider.


You could replace Rogue with Monk, and swap over to using Handwraps.  Makes it easier gear-wise since you only need 1 set of good wraps.  Still get evasion, an extra toughness or two, and slightly better saves.   You could gear out with Icy Raiments, et al for AC if needed, but I expect AC isn't a concern for this build anyway, so who cares if you wear some robes instead of armor, right?

I agree it would be cool (and probably better), but the alignment restrictions prevent you from combining monk and barb.

would be similar to my stafftact build
quarterstaff wielding 12/6/2 Fighter/Paladin/Monk
gets a small boost with monk stance
quite high saves compared to pure fighter
planned barbarian past life feat for rage ability for further bonus
paladin for bladesworn and LoH + some bonus damage via smites
