Just for "some" comparison, it takes 1 : 30 or 1 : 35 to kill Elder Seal Keeper on my gimpy  Elven Tempest.
Tier 3 TF rapier and Balizarde. Full Blitz, no special buffs or twists.
Haste boost only ( cuz Elf ) and only one Martial past life.

Probably not,... BUT every other crit range extender doubles with improved critical. Keen Edge, Holy Sword, Swashbuckling...it should be consistent if it's not going to stack.

Yea, problem is critical rage is a very very old enhancement, in fact the first ever to implement enhanced critical profile. I doubt you will ever see that changed or redone.

It's turbine,inconsistency is what they do best.

(That should be a 13-20x4 critical, but as noted before crit rage doesn't double with Improved Critical. Also important to note that Celestial Champion won't apply it's range increase unless you unequip and reequip your weapons in each new instance. So it's 19-20x4 at quest start, then 17-20x4 when you reequip, then 15-20x4 when you rage.)

Backup: 2x Mutineer's Blades, TF blunt, TF slashing

you might want to grab a couple of these for the road to the top

Highest DPS non-exploit build in the game. Also beats most exploit builds.

Managed to clear mine by crafting a bunch of GS and deconstruct OP weapons from 2 years back and i am ready to jump into action.
Thank you 5 foot step

Would this build still be viable if it were a THF instead of TWF? I'm assuming the DPS would be less but would it be majorly less?

I have an older melee toon that is a Cleaver build which i do enjoy but he is a bit stale and I really need to outfit him with newer gear since he's been on the shelf so long.

Blood Rage is a horrible enchantment on shitty gear.

Blood Strength appears to stack since I pretty much get full healed on every kill. I didn't specifically test it though.

Definitely viable. The AoE damage will be very nice if pain touch and vicious and the other shit are activating on every glance.

Wipe wrote on Dec 16^th, 2014 at 2:44pm:


Why would you want to run that shitty raid on ee?
You zerg it on en and call quits on it.
To build a character based on 1 raid?

Tree builds for example, are flawless builds that suck in that raid, so you would call all tree builds sucky because they dont steamroll in the most horrofic and boring raid in existence of ddo?

I dont see logic in that, if i was to play ddo i would first build a build based on content that wont make me want to kill myself

Also, might try this version of barb, just because its a barb and seems ultra fun xD

How is selfheal with ravager if you tested?
Saw them say they will change it to 20 scaled by melle power

Also i will most prolly drop ring of shadows for ee consuming and keep knosts for amp
