Sadly I'm all done with my racial lives myself or I would absolutely give this a go. Going to slot a gem as-is because why the hell not? If I do any heroics/epics on my rogue it will be fun to mess with.


+200 SP is nice from ottos set also.

Still hoping someene will post 1-20 build and gear.. I don't run casters so this will be a new path for me.


You need a whole 1-20 set?

That's gonna be tough.

I think you want KotB gear to lvl 8, then Slavers 5 piece set + CC until your greensteels come out to play. Sharn kicks in at 15 and you're ready to kick everything's ass.
  

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.

Mostly just the build plan and types of items to equip

That's fairly basic: you have your primary stat + con. Up till lvl 8 you can wear Cannith Crafted crap that covers that maxed for slot(so far as I know nothing loot-gen or named has better stats that early). If you're feeling grindy you could go get the Fewild loot for lvl 5 and wear the appropriate set but frankly I'm not sure it's worth it.

Are you planning to go sorc or give higgildypiggildy suggestion a go and take lock?

For a fire sorc if you struggle at low levels - go for rapid shot feat and light crossbow inquisitive. Just 6 AP in EK tree for elemental damage till u get that fireball

Also my last month favourite 1-20 speedrun build:

Pure alchemist:
1-8 inquisitive (all the remaining AP) light xbow + Vile chemist (6AP just for poison dice), boosting poison (negative) spellpower items. Doubleslotted xbow with at-level augments for levels: 1,4 (and optionally 9) arborea, crafted good bludgeoning. Rapid shot (the only pro-xbow feat u take so u can use free respec on it).

Then at lvl 9 (or at 12 if you like the xbow moar or plan to kill fire immune mobs til lvl 12) respec to:

9-20 fire (primary) and acid bombardier (so the RL belt boosts both) using challenges cloak and boots. The only metamagic is quicken, then mana feats (mental, imp mental, sorc PL). After lvl 12 you can safely drop acid and go pure fire (may still want an extra spell to the cycle).

Comparing to fire sorc it's much better performing for lvl 1-5 (unless it's also xbow inq), then a bit slower at 6-9 (sorc gets fireball), then again it's better at 10-13, then stands with line for 14-17 (althou fire immunity is not a problem so it's better after all). After fire sorc gets meteor at 18 it's over till lvl 24 (+10 MCL on bombs).

This is quite an interesting notion - do you find Inquisitive actually kicks in early enough to be any good? Early heroics are kind of my least favorite thing ever, but I never tried inqu in there. Could you elaborate a bit more? Especially interested in the 4-8 regions.

I can vouch for this, inquis is much faster for low level Alch.  I can't remember if i switched at level 9 or 10

I did exactly as Oracler suggested.  Level 1, took a Crossbow, Inquisitive and Harpers trees.  Rapid Shot. 
It massively outpowers low level sorc, alchemist, warlock. 

Then swap the feat using the free respec from Lockania's quest.  At something like 6-9 depending on when you get some good spells. 

it's great.

Rapid Shot requires Point Blank as a pre-requisite.. did you mean Rapid Reload?

Instead of Harper I'm going to give Feydark Illusionist Tree a go for CHA to Hit/Dam.. less AP to worry about because I don't have any extra yet. Only 7 points instead of at least 12 in Harper.. and can pour everything into CHA

ah, yeah, Rapid Reload indeed.  70% on a heavy xbow I think from memory,  really big boost

Figured I would post what is essentially my 'tweaked' 1-20 build.. is definitely effective, and if you have to be doing it over and over and over again, far less complicated to do.

Class: 20 Warlock (Inquisitor)
Race:
Teifling
True Neutral

Lvl 0        @ 1(w/Racials & +8 Supreme Tome so far)
STR: 08         12      Lvl-up:CHA
DEX: 10         14      +3 Tome minimum      
CON: 16         22            
INT: 15         19            
WIS: 08         13            
CHA: 20    27            
----For Epics/Combat Archery----
Lvl 0        @ 1      Lvl-up - CHA
STR: 08                  
DEX: 14                  +8 Tome            
CON: 16                  
INT: 16                  
WIS: 08                  
CHA: 18

Skills: Bluff, Spellcraft, Diplomacy, Heal, then UMD, Jump

Spells:
Lvl1) Jump, Color Spray
Lvl2) Invis, Blur
Lvl3) DimDoor, Haste
Lvl4) Evards, Flesh to Stone
Lvl5) Tensers, FoD
Lvl6) Wail of the Banshee, Hold Mon-Mass


Level Class Feats
1 Standard: Rapid Reload
Pact: Warlock: Pact: Carceri Storm
3 Standard: Point Blank Shot
6 Standard: Rapid Shot
9 Standard: Precise Shot
12 Standard: Improved Critical: Ranged
15 Standard: Precision
18 Standard: Quicken Spell
------------------------------------
21 Epic Feat: Combat Archery
24 Epic Feat: Overwhelming Critical
26 Epic Destiny Feat: Holy Strike
27 Epic Feat: Insightful Reflexes
28 Epic Destiny Feat: Double Shot
29 Epic Destiny Feat: Embodiment of Law
30 Epic Feat: Force of Personality
Legendary: Scion of:Ethereal Plane

Destiny
Shiradi
*twists*
Sense Weakness (T4 Fury)
Gird Against Demons (T4 Fury) If enough points
Grim Precision (T3 Shadow)
Cocoon (T1 Primal)

Negotiators Spectacles – Blindness Immunity
Wallwatch Circlet – Heal+13
Family Recruit Sigil – Feather Falling
Planar Compass – Defense+20
Mantle of the Dwarven Commander – Protection +6
Bronze Dragonscale Belt – Resistance +7
Brazenband/Ring of Flickering Steel – Wisdom+8

Softsole Slippers – Good Luck +1
Ring of Nightfall – Dexterity +8
Aetherband – Charisma +8
Wildwood Vest - Spell Agility +10
Ratcatcher – Adamantine
Dynamistic Quiver



------------------

This lets me use CHA for Hit/Damage, Feydarks 'You've Got My Back' for extra 10 PRR/MRR when I scroll Shield and NightShield, and the fantastic One-Two punch of Evards and Color Spray. It's a fantastic Build for Reapers, where you may end up using scrolls to Heal a LOT (fellow crawlers REALLY appreciate you healing them after a classic New York pig fuck)

I would suggest you try a melee 2hf wizard. It seems like it will be faster clearing a room (at least in heroics)

Actually sounds interesting...

... but I really have no experience with casters. let alone a melee caster. I'm not willing or interested in spending time trying top figure out the actual stats, feats, spells, & gear for yet another build when I just want to do it quick and easy. I'll look around and see if anything is out there with SPECIFIC details (none of these '20 to INT, Illusion Focus.. profit'...) unhelpful posts

If I'm going to even CONSIDER a new style or setup, I want it worked out ahead of time rather then getting invested from the start and then going 'wait.. what about this... wut?'

In heroics melee spellcasters don't really "cast" per-se. Basically you are using palemaster for self-healing, so the only spell is lesser death aura + death aura. The rest is mainly buffs, displacement, etc. Optionally you can do some CC, but mostly you are just meleeing while your health goes up.

I can put together a build for you if you're interested. Don't wanna do all that typing though if not.
  

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.

Yes they do. So does the "Greater Death Aura" in the PM cap. Not that matters since you're just 1-20, but the great thing is the self-healing is still very good in low-skull reapers.

All right, give me some time to get my thoughts collected.

The short answer? No. That would take work and you know the Vault has rules. The long answer is "Maybe?".

Still fine-tuning but here's the start. Disclaimer: I have not actually leveled one of these in a while, this was based off experiments while ETRing last night. I can hopefully get a bit better in a few days when I have some time to dedicate:

Assuming +7 tomes or better:
16 STR
18 INT
Rest into CON

Lvl 1 TWF / Quicken
Lvl 3 Weapon Focus: Slashing
Lvl 5 (Class) Extend Spell
Lvl 6 Power Attack
Lvl 9 Power Critical
Lvl 10(class) Maximize
Lvl 12 Imp THF
Lvl 15 Cleave /(class) Maximize
Lvl 18 Great Cleave
Lvl 20 Mental Toughness or whatever

Spells:
I'm not going to go through every single spell you might want at every level, but here will be your most useful:
lvl2 - Lesser Death Aura/Fog Bank(for miss chance)
lvl3 - DISPLACEMENT!!!
lvl4 - Death Aura/Negative Energy Burst(Prioritize these), then Stoneskin, Wall of Fire, and Ice Storm (DDoor is also nice)

When you hit 4th lvl spells at lvl 7 is when the build really starts to work. With Extend and Quicken going, Death Aura and Lesser Death Aura active, the main spell you're going to cast is Negative Energy Burst for a quick self-heal. You mostly want buffs like stone skin, and area-effect spells like Wall of Fire, Acid Rain, Ice Storm, etc. Fog Bank and the various other "% miss chance" spells are fantastic for survivability.

Enhancements:
I can work up a more detailed breakdown time permitting, but 3 trees are key:

Harpers - Int-to-hit/Int-to-dmg, and that's it
Palemaster - some undead shroud to let heal from negative energy + more
Eldritch Knight - elemental damage + SLAs(Imp Mage Armor & Imp Shield)

Will continue to fine-tune as more time becomes available. The big problem is BAB, which badly gates the THF feats. If anyone has any suggestions I'm happy to workshop this.
