I know the power of Beguile.  I specifically didn't mention it after testing it on Lamannia.

The cat is out of the bag with Beguile now.  It works on red named and some purple named like Truthful One and Gianthold Tor bosses.

When Iconics can be chosen for a TR race, the optimal version of this build will be Bladeforged.  6 AP for 25 SP Reconstruct is fucking amazing.


Fight club is hard...

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

It is fairly natural to assume that the fair price for the pot is the fair value of the resources I needed to make the pot plus the fair value of my labor.

It was even mentioned on lama...and I thought it was stated that the attack speed penalty was supposed to affect reds but not the movement speed...and neither was supposed to affect purple.

I.E.  They knew about it but didn't change it on initial release.  I know if it does get changed the only thing that will happen to my build is that I will reassign 4 ap.

Carp, just wondering. Would this be anything close to what you have in mind for when you TR to a Bladeforged?

Edit: Maybe swap out 2 toughness feats, Brutal Throw and Deflect arrows for the entire THF chain.

Glancing Blows are applied to cleaves, so you want the full THF line.  It's the reason for using Cleaver instead of Sireth.  Also, MOAR DAMAGE.

I'd rather have +2 damage per swing from Improved Power Attack than limited Smite enhancements.

I'd also spend 34 in Kensei and take Strength +1, ditching Reed in the Wind as a filler.  You can replace Strength +1 in LD for Crit Damage.

Interesting, will take this into account, thanks.

10 uses of 30% Doublestrike and Ram's Might are still good enough reasons to stick with Druid.

Two? Alignment tokens are double alignments - eg "alignment change - lawful goodness".

If you can see the token in the store without having the see all items box checked, you can use it.

The only problem should be if you're switching between mutually exclusive alignment classes, which would require 2 LRs (since you can't change alignment on the boat), not 2 alignment changes.

I made a similar version of this. I had HOrc instead of human (not by choice) and I splashed Cleric instead of druid.

Cleric gave me div might (+10 str bonus), +75% scroll mastery, 5min nightshield, and 5 min prot evil

what would you thoughts be on a PDK version of this build? I am still a noob when it comes to creating custome builds but I am trying to learn. I believe PDK has healing amp just like a human does. What would you say the reasons that bladeforged would be better than PDK. I'm not trying to question your thinking, I'm just trying to learn because as i said...im still kind of a noob when it comes to custom builds.

I have the build and its awesome. Total destruction even without blitz going. I have a hard time using up all the haste boosts as i have 22 of them.

Being HOrc the racial tree has nice dps boost so points are being hard to come by.

For this reason, im after drppping druid. Options
3 cleric = crappy healing spells, 75% scoll mastery (4 enh pts)
2 pally = nice bonus to saves
2. Extra monk = fast movement, extra feat (master forms)
2 rogue = 3d6 sneak (need inti tank to use this)

The core of the build is 8 Fighter for centered Cleaver and 9 Monk for Imp Evasion/Shadow Veil.  The remaining class split don't matter, though I highly recommend something that boosts Positive Spell Power (Ranger + Deepwood Sniper; any divine + Empower Heal Spell).  You could go the Bladeforged split: 8 Fighter/6 Monk/6 Paladin.  With meaningful saves, Evasion works fine.

Forgot that you need divine spells for emp healing.
I think ill do the cleric version for emp healing and 75% scroll mastery for heal scrolling.
This uses 4 aps in cleric tree which allows me to get powerattack and thw HOrc enh.

The thing is do i go 8/9/3 ftr/mnk/clr for 2nd lvl spells (prob never use them) or 10/9/1 ftr/mnk/clr for bonus fighter feat (quickdraw or stunning blow).

IMO the stuff from druid is better than the scroll mastery from cleric. I'd only consider cleric for Divine Might, but cleric Divine Might is really expensive at 15sp. I can see why most people seem to be going with paladin splashes.

Div might str bonus with 32 Cha gives +8str over +3 item = +4 modifier =+ 6 dmg.
HOrc enh = +3 thf +3 powerattack all the time.

What else do you get from druid over another 11x30% boosts?
