it is more than 2 seeker. the set up of cloak + ring gives 17 total. goggles are 12.


I hear you, but I'm going with the hamp cloak. Hadn't heard about it yet when I replied to Hater. 

Wolf cloak nets 3 seeker, but what am I going to swap in for goggles? Glimpse for will save, true seeing and slots is ok, but mostly situational. Greensteel could bump up my saves. Either way I'm losing my dex item if I swap out Mentau.

i use ring of stalker and thunderstruck on my pswf toons. swapping them on/off on immune mobs for consuming darkness and wolf cloak.


I totally use stalker for levelling...but at 27+ the only thing it's giving is manslayer which is +5 per swing vs certain mobs...thunderstruck is 4.75 per swing vs everything. I would go skirmisher full time.

Yes. Last time I was at 20 I was leading kills by far running EEs with competent people. While swinging a freaking letter opener.

I borrowed some stuff from you and some fron zoda.
I plan to run dual feats on my alt.
2handed and 2 weapon line.
Plan is to abuse 2 weapons cap proc rate for boss dps and 2 handed trash clear.
Prolly hammers tho since no feat for piercing criti

Lv 30 feat gonna help with picks crit or quickdraw on such a setup
Think that is best dps setup currently attainable.
If i could drop 1 feat for 2nd impr criti to use kopeshes or picks i would be happy.
But dont think hammers are so much behind in dps compared to 2handed since you get benefits from dreadnought anyways for threat range

It is an interesting idea. I'd have to drop Toughness, Epic Toughness, Heavy Proficiency, Epic DR, (and trade Elusive Target for PTHF) if I were to try it though, because I wouldn't be willing to drop the picks,... they are significantly more dps in DC than warhammers are in LD because of the extra mutiplier. Not having Balanced Attacks is a huge DPS loss on trash...losing Aura and Consecration damage as well on those tight mob groupings is probably too much...

Let me know how it works out for you.

Full tilt DPS, no compromises.

I did the math and figured out that spending 2 feats on power critical is significantly more DPS than 2x Great Strength with my crit profile. Swapped Elusive Target for First Blood and squeezed in Cleave. Also decided to keep Hvy armor, since it still gives the +10 MRR over medium.

Of course, if you are not uber-completionist, then the previous build will be more user-friendly. (Toughness, Epic Toughness, Elusive Target, Brace For Impact, Epic DR)

Simple fix but hail of blows is listed as tier 1 when it's tier 2.  Also, if you are going max dps drop the epic ethereal and pick up skirmisher bracers.  I don't see a doublestrike item listed and 8% is a good bump over epic ethereal which are basically giving you slots, ff, and saves.

Epic Litany doesn't give 8% DoubleStrike. The Epic Quiver of Alacrity gives 8% DoubleShot though. Maybe Lelouch was thinking of that?

Anyway, Skirmisher's Bracers gives 8% to BOTH.

no clue but prolly bug since with dstrike it becomes one of the best melee items in game. free dstrike and sneak attack slot.

Doublestrike isn't an issue because of the quiver. Ethereals are still mostly overlapping, I'll probably swap them out for convalescent of parrying if I don't need the slots once my gages are actually farmed out.

I'm up to level 17. I am using a build that is a hybrid between Zod's and 5 foots because I have a huge collection of great axes that I built up over the years for all the different levels of level progression. For me THF was easier than farming more gear. This way I can go with what I already have and slowly collect of weapons for a future life along the way.

I have to say, Blood Strength....OMG! Awesome....simply awesome. I just unlocked it a few days ago and I have maybe used 5 pots max over that time.

Even THF, this build tears through mobs and bosses. I did servants of the Overlord Elite and nothing slowed me down. Even the Hezro and Drow Princess red names at the end were destroyed in what seemed to be about a minute. I am basically only using supreme cleave as my main attack....when I'm fully raged and using the damage and melee power boosts I'm seeing crits of 500-800 at level 17.

I do have a question about playing this build in epic levels. Running in DC can you use consecration while raged? Or do you use consecration, then rage? Or do you skip consecration all together and just get the benefits of blood strength and no remorse from the DC destiny?
