Due to my current work and triathlon training schedule, I have much less time to play each day than I would like. So in an effort to streamline my time spent in game I am creating a road-map for character progression.

I'm currently a heroic completionist grinding through all the 3x iconic reincarnations. So far I've completed PDK, Shadar Kai, and am finishing up my 3rd Bladeforged life. For the next 9 iconic lives, I'm hoping to build one set of gear that'll let me zerg through everything as quick as possible.

The iconic lives I need are: 3x gnome, 3x sun-elf, 3x new iconic race.

The class PLs I want are: 1x paladin, 2x cleric, 2x monk, 2x ranger, 2x barbarian

Those are the only real parameters. Play style and groundwork required are totally flexible. Are you guys aware of a build (builds?) that'd let me spam these iconic lives easily? I have 350 in Cannith Crafting and a bunch of Cannith Challenge items created already, so I can build all the gear I need prior to make it work.

Is faceroll warlock the way to go? I've never done a ranged build before but the idea of an arcane archer/monkcher has appeal if it can kill things fast enough.

Plan so far
Sun-Elf 1 (Paladin): 18 paladin/2 cleric THF (I already have a bunch of THF gear)
Sun-Elf 2&3 (Cleric): 5 foot step's Fire Domain Cleric or Death Domain DC Cleric

10 iconic base/ 10 warlock?
radiance, radiance lore, hp, sheltering, etc.

There isn't really a single gearset for five different classes.

I learned this life that the importance of self-healing is not to be underestimated, but neither is a cleric hireling.

Slavers constitution 5/ quality con 1/ resistance/ whatever item has helped me with survivability.



also, what revaulting said. half the fun in this game is from theory crafting and having different playstyles each life. take it slow, take it easy.

You can melee all of those lives. You just need different weapons. Wraps for monk, TWF for ranger, and the other three can be THF or whatever.
