For whatever reason I feel like playing Druid again.

Basically been running a Favored Soul Blade Barrier shitter for the last 9 iconic lives and it's getting boring.

Mentionned Shardar-Kai so that means rogue levels because I won't LR out of them.

Anything that would be decent with shit gear (basically gearing myself with cheap AH stuff). I'm really behind the curve on character building.

Nah, not much chaining, just trying to have a bit more fun after all those FVS lives, it's my last iconic so there won't be other ones.

Well, there will be epics, but I'll think about that later. I haven't been playing a whole lot so this one might actually last more than a week. Build would be likely to change anyway without the forced rogue level, as I am likely to go human after iconics.

As for the build focus, I tend to just plow through EH whenever I'm soloing. It would be nice if it could be worth something in EEs though as that's what we tend to run in guild groups on the weekends. FVS definitely had trouble there with sub-par DCs due to average gear and it really sucked to feel almost useless.

I wouldn't be opposed to a caster build either, if those are actually viable and kill fast enough. Have no idea if they can manage that since I haven't played one since new enhancements and most caster builds I see are just CCing.

And thanks Mo.

This one pls.

Lelo, Munk, I, and some others posted few builds on it here http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1404996614/0#0

The best dps build would be something that Munk suggested with 9 drd 9 ftr 2 rng or 10 drd 6 ftr 4 rng(maybe?). You give up Evasion, but you get oc line, Gswf, G2wf, shield mastery line, huge hp pool, hgih prr.

I went with 9rng 9 drd 2 ftr for ranger pl and evasion. Build posted there. Have guildie who went 15 drd 3rgr 2 mnk. the benefit of heal spell. also posted there. all of these have nat fighting feats as well.

Lelo started the thread posting his 8 drd 6 mnk 6 rgr for stances, shadow fade, prr, evasion. But gives up nat fighting.


In your situation probably 9 drd 6 ranger 5 rogue

EH high offense, no defense:

1 rogue

• Natural fighting

2-10 Druid

• 3 power attack, 6 cleave, 9 great cleave

11-16 : ranger

• 12 Icrit, 15 Iswf

17-20 Rogue

• 18 Gswf

21 Gtwf
24 Ocrit
27 Blinding speed

No room for natural fighting feats, empower heal or completionist, none of that will matter on EH.
Still have 9 druid levels because 6th getting the third core abilities from rogue 6 is not as useful imo as druids 5th level spells (death ward, cure crit)
I considered squeezing in natural fighting, by giving up powerattack, cleaves & OC. It's a poor trade I'd rather have cleaves I assume you do to.

I can't help but feel that a bard/rogue/fighter is also a viable candidate for this life.

I wouldn't do it without 2 ranger levels.

it is granting 30% attack speeds. can be verified on character sheet. Keep in mind you still have to have one handed weapon and empty or orb off hand. it is not giving the 200% to damage mod.

Heh, i did the same forgot to pick it up from fighter/LD tree and thought i wasnt getting 75%.

Munk claims to not play anymore...

Besides, have you ever heard of a bard-monk multiclass build?

You lnked to a three month old thread, could you be more specific did you mean the 13rog/5bard/2ftr?

You have to 'fess up and just say that you still play.

Sorry should have been more clear. There is monk's build in there as well. 7/7/6.
