5-piece slaver set = +2 Artifact bonus to Con, +4 Artifact bonus to MRR/PRR, +4 Artifact bonus to Resistance, +4 Artifact Spell Saves

Dire charge is very useful when the cc fails. CC is never enough on reaper. Dire charge usually is at no fail DCs, and only a few mobs are immune to it, unlike traditional cc. Very useful feat.

Divine Righteousness
Channel Divinity: You gain temporary hit points equal your Charisma score and a 200% Sacred bonus to threat generation for 60 seconds. (Activation Cost: 1 use of Turn Undead. Cooldown: 6 seconds)

That makes the threat gen:

100% base
200% sacred
150% competence
150% commanding
60% countenance
45% enhancement
20% insight

725% threat generation

Plus another 400% IIRC on a successful intimidate with 80% uptime.

I guess the invulnerability clicky can be handy?

How much more HP can you gain if you go full retard Con instead of Cha?

1 point at start, level ups and enhancements swapped from CHA to CON would be 10 more CON
150 hp base, 216 after percentage increases
less than 10%

going dwarf would add ~130 hp potentially

but it can make intimidate unreliable i guess, and tactics will be lower

interesting. love how reaper has made full retard specialized builds a thing now. just shows how much room for builds is really in the game.

has anyone tried lgs eth 4pc bonus for 5.5 stacking incorp? How high could that bonus go, is 5.5 max? Thinking eth/esc set for dodge cap increase. 5 set should be (needs someone to verify) 5% max dodge and a healing proc :Your spells and attacks have a small [?%] chance to heal you and nearby allies for 10d20 hitpoints through Positive Energy. Has this healing proc been nerfed, is it good enough on party members even if self heal is lowered?

someone with duped lgs kindly test this. Or I can wait until lama again.

Yes, I think he wants to fill in DPS on this tank. Bastard sword/thf feats etc...

5 Foot Step wrote on Feb 9^th, 2017 at 11:05am:


Agreed.  If you aren't going to combine threat/DPS with Intim and just shield block and spam intim then you might be better off going Helf so that you have two intims that you can alternate to get better coverage of holding aggro.

I find this discussion interesting. 

So theory build 1:  PDK, combine both the Fighter and Pally defender trees, using the stances from Stalwart and the tier 5 from sacred. 

theory build 2:  wraith PM/EK/? to get wraith concealment, EK mage armor and PRR, mixed with one of the defender trees?  Is this an evasion/dodge kind of build or more of a heavy armor shield build?

What does theory build 2 look like?  I'd like to see more about that.
