Warforged is no more a race than Pontiac.

I pasted a Teth death in my bio from a time I pugged with him. I can't even remember the circumstances. But, it was notable.

Why would anyone consider a multiclass barb a top build when the capstone adds 100+ damage per swing?

monkcher can still kill cabal red named in 3 seconds. burst dps is amazing still.

This, capstone is no brainer. I tried the 18/1/1 splash and oh boy what a mistake...

Shuriken build to end all Shuriken builds:

13 Rogue/3Monk/4Ranger (or fighter for feats and add 2 more Rogue, basically a toss up)

ToEE set, max SA damage, 176 Ranged Power in LD, T5 Mech, Halfing for Crit Range, etc. This is my build on Live on my main and it is preposterous. I like to take Halfling Healing Mark since you're deep in Half trree anyway, ups survivability a bit and allows you mostly to not twist cocoon except for some raids (Abbot water is a bitch). Run in DC or LD, both are excellent. Dont forget Imp SA epic feat, it's eqv to like 12 SA dice now with 150% RP scaling to SA dice

Alternative that is roughly similar but trades massive RP enhanced SA damage for raw physical damage is:
10 Rogue/8Bard/2Fighter (I like the bard casting, but you only need 3/4 Bard levels for Swash and some nice T4 damage. So you could up the Rogue or swap out fighter completely for something you like better). DC is the most DPS in my calcs for this build, as the threat range is a bigger boost to builds with higher crit multi's (x3 from Swash). You cannot use the new Set Bonus for this build which is sadface but it's still tops DPS.

Both of the builds, to the best of my calculations on a giant spreadsheet are significantly more DPS than any form of 20 Monk pure thrower.

The best form of 20 Monk thrower however would use the ToEE set, need at least 42 Wisdom, and run in Divine Crusader. LD would be better but the 20 Monk just doesn't have enough SA dice or the x3 Crit to make the 70RP from Blitz supercede 10% Damage Bonus in Consecrate or whatever +the crit range.

DC is by far the best destiny for the Bard version of thrower because Doubleshot is much more crucial without the Monk extra shuri proc and lack of 10K debuff, and the clicky in DC + the 10%  Enchantment Doubleshot is about 31% Average fulltime Doubleshot.

Thanks. So to check thinking I could swap it out to 10Rog/6Bbn/4Brd or 10Rog/9Brd/1Bbn and be viable? That's tempting for a 3rd life on my chucker.

Feats will be your biggest problem. You need halfling for Dex to Damage with Shurikens, Which means you need to take both Shuriken Prof and Shuriken Expertise.

Without the fighter, feats get uglier (like you have to drop metamagics probs), which is fine if you're only 3/4 bard

harharharhar wrote on May 7^th, 2015 at 4:32pm:

Hmm, good point. I'll look at the feats but yeah I could drop some and not lose sleep over them being absent - the base will be plenty good enough damage for my needs anyway.

The latter build with the 9 Bard & 1 Barb is for run speed flavour (I'll miss Monk levels) so I don't mind pewpewing a bit as I enjoy the whizzing around. More Bard might be a nice change of pace too. Hmm.

Am thinking shadar-kai. What do you think of sniper-shot in lieu of the halfling crit enhancements?

Teth wrote on May 9^th, 2015 at 11:10am:








A guildie of mine and I talked about that a bunch, and it became an inside joke.

We'd say stuff like, "ooh, you died!? Teth wouldn't have died there." Etc. Or, "even Teth wouldn't have been able to handle all that aggro."

We are dumb.

So I randomly tried barb/bard assling shuri this life on my experimental thrower. Crit rage and blood strength definitely work - mostly doing it for a barb life. Interesting build, not bad, would be amazing if warchanter rage would trigger the barb enhancements, but it doesn't. I would not recommend this build - rage of course gets in the way of all the scrolls and what not.
