the thought kind of just struck me (i already had good wraps), greensteel lit 2 kama and a greensteel con op weapon could be pretty damn good.

Unfortunately no wretched twilight and no level 16 mabar cloak so no ghostly for me. I'll miss having that extra miss chance next life but I don't see me getting flagged for abbot and farming it before I TR this time around. I've got plenty of ways to get ghostly at cap (have a level 20 mabar cloak, epic ring of the stalker, etc) but not while leveling.

Looking like I'll have to do this first life sans con-opp/torc. Just haven't been running shrouds (doing mostly FoT/CitW on my capped guy for comm's) and don't have the mats for any items. I think you're dead on about the lit2+con-opp kamas though. Would probably beat anything you could get in handwraps given the level split and the way wolf form works. I'll have to get farming on my capped toon for this toon's next life. I can deal with the earthgrab hp boots + air guard cloak - the build's good enough that even w/o con-opp I should be able to roll over things.

I'll have to play with the numbers to see if I can get both stuns working well wis-based. Looking at the druid wolf-form spells closer though I can definitely see where wisdom would trump strength there. I'll just have to check and see if Stunning Blow will still be worth it.

Ah, the wiki didn't list either of those on the ghostly page. Don't think I want to hold off long enough to redo the greensteel items I have but I'd definitely consider building around those if I stick with this build multiple lives. The level 14 ghost waking is especially strong since it covers enough resist to get by and maxes out charisma for pre-20 items.

Not a big fan of vampiric shards, not since they raised the ML of them way up early on. If you want vampirism you're better off with Vampiric Stonedust.

Wow...seriously, wolf form overrides the requirement for no weapons for stunning fist? That's going to force some serious gear thought now. Probably not the first life since I'm kinda strapped and trying to just figure out a way to fit in a con-opp item but that's some serious craziness available there. I might have to bust out this build for some pl's on my caster toon - I've got con-opp kama's built already for both charisma +9 and int +9, both with +6 str on them to boot. I knew making those as kama's would pay off eventually

Thinking this may have to be a 'cap ED's' life based on the time-frame for the update (I really don't want to be capping ED's when they go to level 28 max). Just looking at the build it looks like it would hold up really well running EH's and could probably even muddle through some EE's solo but just wanted to ask whether you've tried it out at 25 and whether it worked well for you.

It depends on what the other 9x was.  with ranger i felt a bit lacking.  With rogue and fighter it was pretty good.

And that's a wrap for tonight at level 5. Now it gets stupid easy for awhile

First of all, holding 12 now and rolling. This build is really outstanding!

Had a question that will help make some gear/enhancement choices - is Reaving Roar effected by gear or enhancements either one? At least through level 10 epics Reaving Roar is what makes things so easy. Between that and the cleaves I almost feel like Ice Storm is superfluous.

That's kind of what I figured but wanted to make sure. No reason to go all-out on lightning/sonic then.

i've made,

lit II
str/20/30 conop

at 18, i replaced the lit II with an air/air kama.

You'll notice that only defensive procs / abilities apply for your off hand animal form weapon.

Just took 15...close to holding 16. TR's don't normally go this fast for me...this is just crazy easy.

Just got done with a Vol zerg with an all TR group. Highlight of the night was the one run where misadventure was the top killer in the quest.

I don't think it's going to be as strong at cap...might even go with Fatal Harrier later on as my main stance...but for getting to cap there really isn't anything quite like Reaving Roar
