yeah the tree build thread is super interesting but definitely a little hard to wade through and get an actual build recommendation from it. That might be partially intentional.

Make a druid wolf build (again).

http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1430127586 covers it.

Melee:
15 Bard 3 Fighter 2 Rogue
20 Paladin (Vanguard or KotC)
20 Barbarian

Caster:
20 Warlock

Unless I'm missing something, you are 1 arti life from completionist feat.  I'd do that first, then look for an EE soloer build.  Just about any EE solo build will benefit from completionist.

I solo EE's all day long on:

Halfling 11 Rogue/6Ranger/3 Monk Shuriken throwers. Especially now that DWS is much improved.

9Rog/8Ran/3Mnk us also good for Emp Heal, another FE, and only moderately less damage.

And of course, a pure 20 Monk (Drow or pref. Human for dual boosts) with a Shadowstar and/or Min 2 GS in Divine Crusader will rip very hard with basically autocrits. You can also do this to very slightly less effect with the ranger/rogue splits as well. (crit on a 7 instead of a 5).

Personally I like the pure class the least because it has the least "active" and "burst" options that ranger/rogue splits have which when used properly with IPS and boosts make an insane amount of difference in DPS output. Specifically, Sniper Shot, Merciful Shot, and Headshot. Head shot and Sniper shot means you basically will always have Sneak Attack damage, and Merciful shot with it's new scaling and under 50% health requirement means it's basically around 3000-4000 damage (average 3 projectiles per click, 500 damage scaled with about 150 Ranged Power). Before someone comes and argues about 10k being burst, With DWS changes it is now simple to have:

3x ePL Doubleshot: 9%
Epic Feat: 10%
DWS T5: 20%
Quiver: 8% or Divine Crusader: 10%
That's a standing 47%-49% DS, with Killer (much improved with a slower timer though only when trash is around to kill) boosting that up to 67%-69% for 90% of 100% of quests.

So while you get more stars during 10k, over 1 minute it's totally moot, and over more minutes probably a net DPS loss.

focus on healing, displace/ghostly/lesser displ/dodge, prr/mrr, dr, and saves.

get immunity like fom, death ward, gh for fear, augment for blind imm, harper pin, fire/ice shield, nightshield/shield, spell absorption items, poison pots for poison damage mobs.

these pay off more than heroic lives. aside for dc from sorc/clr/ftr and active feats like wiz/bard past life. nothing else really compares with 36 prr, 145 hp and elemental absorption + whatever else each stance grants.

it is very good. 3 monk + ranger are great. I still think getting epic completionist, fate points, and stacked passives with 4 epic stances beats out heroic lives.

Blagh. I was thinking of doing ETR + HTR each life. I still like running heroic content, but I guess it makes more sense to do the ETR interspersed with ITR thing I've seen floating around (something somehing maximizing xp from sagas).

EDIT: Thinking about it, fuck it, I'll probably just carry on playing whatever I like. It's not like I have an end goal in mind or anything.

EDIT EDIT: Apart from eventually having a viable monk again

Maybe the recent scaling changes? I've noticed a difference in both EH & EE.

Jake,  Do you have the 11/6/3 build written up anywhere on the forums with feats and gear by chance?  Also are the T5 DWS enhancements really outshinig the extra throw chance on T5 Mechanic?  Currently running a 13/4/3 halfling mechanic.  harharharhar wrote on Oct 5^th, 2015 at 5:45pm:
