weapons used? abilities used? class breakdown?

My guess is a build built around Legendary Stormreach Guardian's Axe and the set bonus possibly EK for the 1s no save knockdown which works on nearly everything.

You can click on the person and see which buffs they have up. Sometimes, that enough to figure stuff out.

Also curious to get a PM if you are in the know

My guess as well. The axes.

Why not 12 Arti/4 Ftr/4 wiz ? Renegade MM

Renegade MM- 32AP Tier 5 for Racial HP etc
EK- 24AP Goodies + Int to hit
Stalwart Defender- 23 AP Prr/saves Comp bonus to HP, extra con etc

Can cast insightful damage, Tensers

Lose Deadly Weapons

Must Feats- fill in other necessary ones
Swf line
Insightful Reflexes
Construct Essence
Improved construct Essence
Improved critical Slashing

With EK you get full BAB, prr, int to hit

With this build you can go any race if you have +1 lesser and tweak it with Aasimar if you have the racial AP to support it.

Thoughts? What am I missing? Considering doing this, but I haven’t played a lot lately so I’m not as ingame informed as much as others.

I'm looking this split over.

I assume Wiz levels because of the re-worked Eldritch Knight tree. Tell me, what is so compelling about the first 2 cores and first four tiers that would make you go that deeply into it?

Tier 3 has the +INT to hit so that's nice but nothing in Tier 4 is jumping out at me. Is Knight's Transformation really that good?

Maybe a 13 Arti/Ftr 4/Wiz 3 split makes more sense?

Just Tr’d currently 12 arti 3 ftr. Haven’t decided which way to go?

Why did you previously recommend 15 arti? What was your thought process. Thought I’d see how this goes. Did a racial into this. Not sure how I’m gonna proceed.

The 15/4/1 split was the in vogue build before the update to EK.

The more I look at it, it looks like the 12/4/4 split is better.

I don't like losing out on either the +6 to CON or the +20% HP from the Stalwart Defender tree so 4 Ftr levels seems pretty set.

Looking at replacing the 4 Ftr with 4 Pal, though. It will depend on how badly I need the feats vs. how much I can improve my Saves. Preliminarily, I'm thinking it won't be worth it as I'll be a Dwarf.

Decided against the Paladin split. I needed the feats.

Going Dwarven 12Arti/4Ftr/4Wiz

SWFing with Whelm and an Orb. The orb will be Cannith Crafted with Reconstruction 159 and Insightful Reconstruction 79 on it. Not sure what I'll put in the third CC slot - probably some Insightful Elemental Resistance 28, maybe Electricity Resistance. If I add Insightful Sonic Resistance instead, I could forego putting a Sonic Resistance Topaz in an Augment Slot on another piece of gear.

With PSWF, the Vorpal Stuff on the Reflection of Whelm (including a Ruby of the Endless Night), and the MASSIVE Lightning damage from the Stormreaver's Thunderclap power on the Gauntlets of the Stormreaver, I'll be doing some pretty awesome damage, especially on rolls of 19-20.

Unfortunately, I'm 2 Schisms short of being able upgrade my Echo of Whelm to the Reflection of Whelm and about 400 Time Runes short of being able to get the Gauntlets. But, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I'm still chasing it myself, I've got a long weekend coming up and I plan on TR'ing. Most of my friends are getting tired of me pestering them, and I've joined more blind reaper pugs in the last two weeks than I did all last year trying to catch the conductors of the last train.
