So I'm actually looking at the undead 12/7/1. Obv enhancements have to change for undead form, but I guess just take the basic ones for zombie?

Yea, just take some from air savant and move them over for zombie I guess. I played with someone with that split and they were rocking.

You have to drop your ASF down  to heal as a wiz.

What would you even take in Air savant with 1 level of sorc?

You are really going to base the strength of a toon on a chain of quests that has already been said on the mother boards is waaay to easy on LE 

LE quests are not the benchmark for good builds...the only benchmark is Legendary Elite Shroud, maybe, maybe Legendary Elite Tempest spine, but spine is way easy even on LE...

Again, not hating the build it is cleverly thought out and all, but how does it deal with LE raid mobs? How long does it take to down a LE raid mob, from 1st contact?

The new quests are indeed very easy, when I did for the first time I was shocked and was checking the xp log to see if I really was on elite. But while I agree it's not a good benchmark, I belive LE quests solo can be reasonable, but there is an if:

If the time is good. Because a crap build like a past life/warlock 10 can solo any LE quest just as well, so time is what really matters. Unless we are talking about a build designed for a specific role like tanking, in this case you can except a somewhat worse time, but on the other hand it would have to proof it's capacity to play the specific role.

If you want to see the performace of this build check this channel out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqXl4hCSPECrFyeA8B5HVKw

The guy is a flower sniffer so you can't judge it for the crazy completion times, just focus on the performance. It's worse than a pure sorc. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULo43_9FBIU

At 15:45 he starts beating boss. Ok boss lost some hp while he was clearing the trash but let's give that to him. So, boss has 115k. Boss dies at 17:15, that's a minute and half. That's 1227 damage per second at lv 26 (he said he was lv 26). Don't think it gets that much better to 30.

That's an arcane blast using build without MoK and 15 Arti/5 wiz levels. But you probably didn't notice that. 

It's not the same class split, enhancement setup, feat setup, or ED setup as the build above.  It's another test build for MoK vs no MoK and arcane blast vs. repeater use to see what is going on.

It will still come together though. Just have a little faith.

Last time I actually made such a build to ranged gib anything in the game and posted screenshot proof it got nuked from orbit.

Turbine is fine with troll builds floating around. When they become promoted reality though, they tend to nerfhammer first, ask questions later.

So what if you dropped WW for the BFT build? It seems that a couple of AOE attacks every 12 seconds on an already massively AOE capable build is overkill. If you took the full TWF feat line, IC:B and a.n.other you lose the WW but gain 60% offhand single target DPS on every hit and GC.

Plus go light armour and take evasion at T6?

I have faith... waiting to se you post the performance at cap. I'm not impressed yet.

More excuses, so many excuses.... nobody is going to nuke you out of the orbit in the Vault because of exploits, that's why we post here.

Like you tend to do in all your builds, you have to include crazy math on it: trading weapons to get holy sword. It's as dumb as putting vulnerability stacks in the calc. Of course you were nuked out of the orbit to write that: not because it's a feature, but because that's just dumb.

And no, Turbine didn't nerf Holy Sword because of your post.

my dc on electric loop from wiz was 69 i only had 4 lvs wiz so thats pretty damn good imo. a little work and i coulda got higher

Fire is crit multiplier, so you take it on every caster regardless of what type of damage you deal.

You also want non-air for repeater use on lightning immunes between hellballs.

Not me, but someone else having fun with build, no raid gear, has reconstruct SLA and more tankyness so fewer dps enhancements.

1 Sorc gives 10 spell power from air savant core 1, and you don't lose a caster level on arti abilities because it also gives a caster level back.

It also gives 2% crit, and 25 more spell power from electrocution.

35 spell power and 2% crit without losing any caster levels is basically a freebie.

The 7 wiz and 5 caster levels from ED is 12 total, so it will be at the even # break point for negative energy aura, so you don't lose aura healing from it either.

So the 1 sorc is just for free damage.

The level 20 ap spread is given in a picture in post 6. Your build will be close to it. Just sorta wing it since you have a different split.

Aside from repeater, there is also the ED choice. I changed to make the build draconic 20-24, and said try magistar at 24, so you can take energy vortex and dragon breaths of non-lightning, and swap to magistar when you no longer need draconic damage. I leveled as magistar, but others testing the build found what I realized which was draconic is stronger at low levels.

This gives you huge DCs and damage from some other element based on int whenever you need it. The build used to be pure magistar, but draconic with try magistar to see if it works is better.

Making a non-dire charge build is heresy.

At 27 you can get MoK and use arcane blast and bolt.

Sorc slas suck, just don't use them, regardless of caster level.

If it doesn't work out, just find solace in how cool of a build you are making. You are starting as a drow, transforming into a robot, transforming back to drow, and finally ending up as a zombie!
