Stupid build idea #673(That I actually tried to make happen last night):

5 Wizard/5 Fighter/10 Monk(only 5 at the moment, character is lvl 15)
Bladeforged Iconic

Idea: centered while wielding a bastard sword(SWF) and perma-tensered.

I think this plan fell apart when I realized the thing that lets you be centered with a bastard sword(One with the Blade?) is also a tier 5 ability.

Yeah, so far this is not working great for me. But I believe with a few(more) feat swaps(Ugh, why did I burn the free one so stupidly?!) I can make him ever so slightly less stupid and wield longswords. Of course, then, what good are 5 fighter levels?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Hmmm, that actually sounds like it might be a lot of fun. Still have to do a few feat swaps, may haps have to burn a lesser heart. Still, would be entertaining.

I am guessing you were looking at 5 Wiz mainly for the T5 EK perma tensors option for the BAB and stat boost?  If so, it would be of minimal advantage over a fighter/monk build.

Unless you're just doing it for flavor, you would likely be better off going 12 fighter, 8 monk.  18 fighter, 2 monk is probably even better. 

Or just pure 20 fighter if you're not planning on using unarmed/handwraps.  The lvl 12, 18 and 20 Kensai cores are much better than the monk cores.

The main weakness of a pure fighter is healing which is covered by reconstruct on a Bladeforged.

I was a decision brought on primarily by being awake late at night and tripping on ambien(should have been in bed asleep by the time I made up my mind to try this). So, while I am by no means claiming this was a GOOD decision, it is still one I am more or less stuck with Tongue

Yes, the idea was to be perma-tensered and centered while carrying 1 bastard sword. I am not sure where this idea came from besides "drugs" and I am not really willing to blow a second +20 heart to fix it.

The story goes that I tRed this guy from a pure human monk(whom I hated because he had dick-all for self-healing) into an iconic 1 paladin/14 monk, then last night while literally hallucinating(I actually do not use ambien recreation ally, but if you've ever had it things get a bit weird when you refuse to actually climb into bed) last night, I thought "Hey, I liked the perma-tensers thing! What if I could be centered while fighting with a bastard sword and perma-tensers? How cool would THAT be!"

And things just kind of fell apart from there.

If he's serious, he's a complete idiot.  If he's trolling, he's a fucking genius!

cocoon + consecrated ground + small silver flame pots is much more than enough,

That's good info.  At least there's hope for non-robot fighters.

On a side note, I've been pretty impressed by a fighter icon build one of my guildies has been running since the Kensai revamp.  It is a beast and seems to be doing far more DPS than a first glance at the Kensai changes would have indicated.  There is definitely some great potential with fighter builds/splashes now.

Perma Tenser's is never worth 31 points in EK. I would stick with t5 Kensei and grab some DPS in NS (Sneak attack, Fists of Iron, Sting of the Ninja). FoI is really nice with the big [W] and crit profile you can get on a sword. Sting is pretty valuable with a wide crit range as well.

He's a wiz, he can just cast it. As the ultimate ability of the EK trees, that's sorta hilarious.
