Hey, so ameliorating strike based barbarian turned to be pretty much fail as "final build for some time", I want something else, possibly to get last pally life + capped toon to play ( maybe for a month, maybe a year ).

Anyway, human 15 str,14 dex,16 con,10 int,8 wis ,16 char ( 4 tomes all, 5 char )
PA
Cleave
Great Cleave
twf ( from Ranger )
itwf
gtwf
IC blunt
point blank
Manyshot
Emp heal
Quicken
Dodge
Mobility ( or maybe imp crit Ranged, without IPS i feel I would get more use from better dodge  + MDB in Tempest maybe )
OC
Ptwf
Blind speed

Mornhs ( Mornh + TF at cap ) in LD mostly.
What you think ? Could awesome self healing ( got 2 past lives pally + human+ Kotc ), 36 Doublestrike ( 9 martial+12 belt+5 ptwf+10 Zeal ) and power of Mornhs in LD make up for shitty pally tree ? Maybe even can fit some weak ish stance, don't know yet.

Or maybe ideas for fleshy, even thf ? Possibly no ranger ( I have glorious Tempest already ) and don't give a fuck about BF anymore. Gear/ raid gear is no issue, just kinda running out of new ideas.

This is why I don't use MaddMatt builds.

There is 2 ways to keep 100% off hand strikes and a pally icon. First is your split. The second is 5+ monk in wind stance with Meditation of War.  But that requires the toon to be centered with its weapons. 

You can do without quicken if you have enough displace clickies, and/or Lore item. If you wanted more hp trade Manyshot line for epic toughness line. Blinding Speed can be replaced with Goatskin or Collar. You lose 1 dodge, 1 to saves, and 2% speed. Not sure why turbine didn't make them haste items in the first place. Maybe Force of Personality if your will saves need a boost.

4 dodge from monk
3 from ninja spy
3 from tempest
3 from dodge feat
2 from mobility
10 item.
= 25

Cheers.
I really love the Mornhs in LD so no way for centered without 8 fighter, that defeats the purpose of godly self healing.
Quicken non negotiable, I play my Tempest every day, it's a must. That's with 21 dodge, 70 saves and ~ 40 mins of Displace.
I guess I could ditch the Speed, I wanna kinda have eTorc permanently. We did Shadow after a little break, it was really shitty 90 mins completion, I must drank like 15 card pots on a Ranger. Wanna try Torc viability once again for the heck of it.
Manyshot is a must too.

Heh I guess not much to change, noone play pallies anymore ( I mean like normal toons, not some stupid tank ).

I havent taken quicken on my human melees in many, many lives. I dont need it, at all. I jump back if i have to cocoon anyway. Quicken doesnt help with the small 150 hp buffer. Once you get hit again, the cocoon healing tick stops anyhow. Jumping back is needed with or without quicken.

Then you are much better / cautious player than me and good folks I sometimes play with like Bigjunk or Eth ( and Eth is a fucking Korean crazy good, I'll tell you that lol ).
I would be dead in EE raids or higher levels quests without it.

I play a bit reckless I admit though.

Im not saying im better. Watched Eths vids he's beast. I just learned I didnt want quicken unless I had a very good spell for it like heal. I dont even take it on my Cetus because SLA cannot be interrupted.

I dont know, quicken depends on sources of healing and spells you have.
IF its only cocoon fk it skip on it.
IF its marks cocoon or some random slas n spells, then its quite nice to have.
At least i like BEING in melle while selfhealing and killing stuff, no matter the content.
I totaly hate jumping back and forth like a tard.
But i am playing a druid melle now that actually does some serious dps compared to cetus-es build, and that can soak up more damage considering im sitting at 80-100ish prr depending on quest.
Quicken on a only cocoon build? Waste of feat.
Cocoon on a build with multiple heals? Really good

You can try getting Crucible boots for Mobility. Since you only want the 2 dodge and cap. This way you keep Speed feat. And get Mobility benefits. Quicken does get a lot better with CSW and CCW. Torc for your neck slot. With a Con-Op item, and possibly Magical Training to replace Mobility.
It's for Echoes of Power, 5% crit, 80 sp.

Quicken = wasted feat

I don't care what your argument is. I solo healed every raid with a FVS without it, because it is a waste. Build your toon efficiently and you wont have to give a valuable feat on a starved class.

Cmon man, timing mass heals and standing back in Dragon or Tod in 2010 is different than meleeing+self healing today.

I have those boots rotting in a bank since epic GH, not a bad idea. Magical training is really cheap in AA tree, I might get Stun Blow after all ( it's such a bitch to have stupid Combat Mastery Dun Robar and 10 str somewhere on all the time ) or IC ranged.
I have nice 10 str/50 hp belt from Cetus life, there's Battlerager's Belt now though, so boots/belt for 10 str kinda sucks.
We really need better augments.

I will see maybe in 2 - 3 weeks to cap again.

My FVS was melee dps, and I had no problem solo healing that stupid lolth raid and bringing meaningful dps - all without quicken. The two new raids, well you dont even need a healer for them so they speak for themselves. There is no raid in this game you need quicken for, shockingly, not even on EE.

If you were a healer and stood in the back healing before epic levels came out, that speaks largely of your lack of skill in the game and explains much on your need for worthless "I only heal" builds. The game has not changed raid wise. You have hardly needed a healer since shroud came out.

melee fvs healer w/o quicken in EE raids??????????????/////////////////////////////////////////////////

Ssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  

Dear players,

The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means.

Love,

People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

I think lot of you forget how fucking gimp lolth is when it comes to attacking. Pro tip, you have enough time to cast a cure mass spell. Another pro tip, standing there spamming mass heal is the exact opposite of efficient.

Another pro tip, playing like a bitch, makes you a bitch.

Epoch sorry dude.
But quicken on  a melle fsoul is not a waste of feat if you solo ee content.
IF you are in group and such maybe it is, but not every single person has time or will to group with other people.
Try to understand, its a valuable feat for high end ee solo players or shortman players.
Maybe it isnt valuable if you enjoy being in a full raid and pike your way to completition but when you are solo, and all aggro is focused on you, you concentration check just wont cut it in ee, you will fail, fail alot, fail miserably, and die, die offten, die fast, die miserably.
You can do it with concentration and scrolls alone, but you need to have a considerably high mitigation in build mechanics and saves.
I mean not trying to disrespect you or anything, but on  a multi heal option melle in current ee content quicken is good
Not a must have, but it is a feat that isnt useless nor bad nor anything.
If you can spare feats for it, it will help in surival.
Since a failed check when a horns giant hits you for 500 damage could mean death.
And in breaking the ranks you fight hella lot of those

If you solo, you should have this anyways. This, really, should be on any build that is worth using.

Blade Barrier. Any divine should be auto specced for this amazing spell. Not doing so and you should go back to a fucking pally.

Piking is for bitches, unless it is a stupid ass event like Mabar.

I never said it wouldn't help, I just said it is not a need.

Soloing EE quests is different then grouping in raids and quests. Two different ball games. For shortmanning quests, it would depend on how short - 2man, 3man? EE sure I can buy that. 4? Yeah, now you are stretching it. I used to solo farm EE all the time with quicken, or small groups until doing so became entirely pointless - like it is today. This thread though, has no plan or real seeming interest in high end solo play on EE. For the topic of discussion here, it is entirely pointless and a waste of a feat. I used my fvs as an example as to why.
When the thread starter wants to start making his build viable for that - we can start talking about different types of builds and needed versatility.

Oh if its not focused for ee, then yea dont need quicken, concentration can cut it and you wont get that much damage to need emergency heals anyways.
Lay from palie can totaly cut it with some cures since its a 15 split, can get both zeal and cure.
