The Fantastic Four

There are 4 Classes that have such excellent teleport options that completely avoiding them is detrimental. These are also the classes that if you want to build a teleporter, you invariably need to Hybrid or at least Multiclass into one of these classes, there is but one exception that will be discussed later. Needless to say, combining any 2 of these will create a very impressive teleporter.

Assassin (Dex, Cha/Con) – Yup, the oAssassin is actually good at something! Shadow Step is quite good with decent range for most combats; the class also has several good teleport + hide IA Utilities. It’s rather ironic that such a bad striker class is a really good choice for other strikers to MC (For both Shadow Step, and Ki Focus use)

Bard (Cha, Con/Int) – Even though seemingly light in the teleportation department, with only a handful of powers that teleport allies and 2 feats, those feats are fantastically concept changing. Bards are also the Ultimate Multiclassers and make excellent Hybrids as well.

Swordmage (Int, Con/Str) – Probably the most iconic teleporters in D&D, it’s entirely possible to build a good character only taking teleport powers, even if that is a bit overkill. Swordmages Hybrid very well, and are fairly stat independent thanks to the nature of their Mark and many Stance powers.

Warlock (Cha/Con, Con/Int) – Cutting to the chase, U10 Ethereal Sidestep is an at-will teleport, and Fey Pact lets you teleport as your boon. The real strength of Warlock teleporting comes from their Paragon Paths however. And thanks to the class’s overall feat support, they also Hybrid and can be MC’d well (are you seeing the trend?).

And the Power Cosmic!...

Avenger (Wis, Dex/Int) – For some odd reason, the Avenger has the most powers with the Teleportation Keyword of any class.

Battlemind (Con, Wis/Cha) – Persistent Harrier is a cornerstone of the class, and they have a good deal of Swordmage-esque powers for battlefield repositioning. Blurred Step can also be turned into a teleport, giving you a massive boost in being able to trap someone trying to get away from you. Being Con/Cha doesn’t hurt either, since that opens up both Warlock and Bard for Power Swapping.

Sorcerer (Cha, Str/Dex) – While best known for being worse Blasters than a highly optimized Wizard, Sorcerer’s bring a good deal of offensive teleporting that allows them to set up their bursts easier. Wild Sorcerer’s especially like teleporting thanks to a particular combination of feats with MC Bard.

Warlord (Str, Int/Cha/Wis) – Despite not having a single teleportation power (though there is a PP), the strength of teleportation for battlefield control lends itself well to Warlords. And Warlords can Hybrid well with any other class thanks to lazy powers and their multiple secondaries.

Eternals

Eladrin (Int, Dex/Cha) – Fey Step is a nice long teleport, with gobs of feat (and PP) support including the ability to use it at-will and multiple ways of recharging it beyond that. Eladrin have a lot of support for just about every class, but specifically of the TP classes, they make very good Bards, Swordmages, Warlocks, and Warlords.

Revenant (Dex, Cha/Con) – Revenant can be any other race, so … yeah.

Shadar-Kai (Dex, Int/Wis) – Shadow Jaunt, while not as long distance as Fey Step, gives the nice bonus of insubstantial; unfortunately the most useful support doesn’t involve the teleport, only the insubstantial. They make good Assassins, Swordmages, and Avengers of the TP classes, but also have decent support to be Rangers, Rogues, Wizards, and even Clerics Templars.

Shardmind (Int, Wis/Cha) – Shard Swarm is a fantastic power that scales with both your Speed and Teleport boosters, and hey, free CA. They’ve got some support (but could really use a Winning Races article) that seems to indicate they’re designed for both Psionic Classes and Leaders; for our purposes, they’ll make decent Bards, Shaman, Warlocks, and of course Warlords.

Tiefling (Cha, Int/Con) – While technically not a race with natural teleporting, not only do they make superb Bards, Warlocks, Warlords, and Sorcerers, they get a special mention because of Secrets of Belial allowing them to steal a Utility from any other class (like Ethereal Sidestep - Warlock 10, the only power that lets you reliably teleport at-will)

Wilden (Wis, Dex/Con) – One of their aspects lets you teleport, but of the 3, it’s the weakest really, so we’ll just move on.

"Invokers are probably better round after round but Wizard dailies are devastating. Actually, devastating is too light a word. Wizard daily powers are soul crushing, encounter ending, havoc causing pieces of awesome." -AirPower25 Sear the Flesh, Purify the Soul; Harden the Heart, and Improve the Mind; Born of Blood, but Forged by Fire; The MECH warrior reaches perfection.

Noble Phantasms

Gear falls into 6 categories, items that allow you to teleport yourself, allies, or enemies, items that increase your teleport distance (and may also grant teleports) – Boosters, items that prevent teleportation, and ways to prevent blindness.

As a note, I fully intend on leaving the slots with no items listed in there, I think it helps with item planning (and design space, hint writers!)

Keywords
EoE – Until the End of the Encounter
EoT – Until the End of your/its Turn
EonT – Until the End of your/its Next Turn
SonT – Until the Start of your/its Next Turn
X – Enhancement bonus of the item

Self

To be honest, most of these are pretty much crap, unless you desperately want to teleport and lack other options in other slots you should be choosing things that have other desirable effects if it’s a daily power (or at least be a Minor Action).

Allies

Because positioning is such a major factor of being a Leader, some of these are absolutely fantastic, especially the Rod, Rubicant Blade, and the Armor (which is great for negating a PC start box). It’s important to note with these items and similar powers exactly who is doing the teleporting, you or the ally, in order to determine the teleport distance and Line of Sight to the destination square (The Summoning Bullet, for example, lets the ally do the teleporting)

Enemies

There’s two things of note when teleporting enemies. First, teleporting is not forced movement, so it’s the easiest way to both get around dwarf and giant sturdiness. Second, teleporting a creature into the air does grant them a save to negate the teleport completely.

Boosters

These are probably the most misunderstood piece of the Teleporter’s build. Just looking at those 3 weapons, they each apply differently; A “Teleportation Power” is different from a “Power that allows you to Teleport” is different from a “Teleport you make”. Fey Step is all 3 of these, Feywild Advance turns Blurred Step into the later 2 (because adding a teleport to a power doesn’t give it the Teleportation keyword, so it’s not a Teleportation Power), Fey Charge is an example of a Teleport you make (you are not actually using Fey Step, and Charge itself is not a power either) unless you are using a power in order to charge (ex. Swift Charge and Hurling Charge).

There is also a distinction between “you can Teleport” and “a Teleport you make”, which is that the former only applies to your own personal teleporting and not when you teleport allies or other creatures. I’m sure there’s some debate over this somewhere, but that’s the simplest, most logical interpretation. Unfortunately, CB lacks the ability to track your teleport distances, so that’s a lot of bookkeeping you have to do.

I also (apparently) have to mention that these things boost Range, not Distance. If you’re using a Teleport Swap (ex. Dimension Swap), a Pursuit Teleport (Relentless Stride), or a Triggered Teleport (Robe of Bloodwalking’s Encounter Power) teleport boosters are generally of no use – they don’t increase the range of a power, and you still have to meet the conditions of where your teleports destination is, where applicable.

Works with all teleports: Mithrendain Steel Weapon (+1), Eladrin Armor (+1/2/3), Eladrin Ring of Passage (+1), Ring of Dimensional Escape (+1), Eladrin Boots (+2), Arcane Wisp/Dimensional Pet Familiar (+1)

Works with powers that let you teleport: Rubicant Blade (+1)

Themes

Fey Beast Tamer - The Blink Dog companion has an aura which allows it and its allies (including you) to teleport to another square in the aura. Not particularly good for distance, but for effect purposes (and the near constant CA) it's pretty good.

Iliyanbruen Guardian - Eladrin Only. You can take another ally with you when you Fey Step (for a total of 5 allies if you're a Bard|Warlord/Student of the Plague). And you can Fey Step as a minor, which certainly has its uses for hit-and-run.

Order Adept - The level 5 feature gives you access to Wizard Utility powers (if you aren't a Wizard), which opens up some decent Teleportation powers (and other powers which might be really good).

Scion of Shadow - Optional level 10 utility lets you teleport 3 into dim/dark areas for 1 encounter/day.

Spellscarred Harbinger - Option of a Minor Action TP 2 every encounter, this is generally a better theme than the Eladrin one (even for Eladrin, since it's not using up Fey Step) since it has other options and a daily daze.

Powers

Yeah right, like I’m actually going to go through all 400+ teleport powers. Class guides will generaly rate a power accurately, even if you have significant teleport boosters or things that trigger off teleports, a power that sucks is still generally going to be a power that sucks even with your bonuses.

There are only a couple powers that I’m going to bother mentioning, 2 of those are Ethereal Sidestep (Warlock Utility 10) which lets you TP 1 as a move action, and Queen’s Clemency (Bard Utility 22) which lets you TP an ally 1 as a minor action. If I had to give things ratings, ES is Sky Blue in general and QC is Gold for a leader and Sky Blue for everyone else. The final power I’ll mention is Aegis of Assault, it’s not generally as well liked as other mark punishments because Swordmages have crappy MBAs, and it only triggers on a hit, but I personally feel that’s justifiable given the SMs capacity for multi-marking and its large range. Regardless, it’s very useful for setting up Catch-22s when you hybrid with a class that has a good MBA.

Builds

As with powers, the possibilities are far too great for me to list anything specific; while I could post a build that can teleport hundreds (probably even thousands of squares) per turn, I’ll leave that sort of level 30 nonsense to other people (and then link it here). I think it’s far more useful for me to just outline the common methods, provide guidelines if you will.

Concepts:

Nightcrawler: The key here is the Staff of the Traveler. There’s a multitude of ways to shift as part of every action on your turn. Considering I made a build that could go over 100 squares when Initiative was rolled + 1 Move action, and Mellored has one that can do 98 per round, there is massive design room while still being really freaking good.

The Bard Taxi: There’s dozens of variants of this build, but the core concept is based around the Level 16 Feature of Evermeet Warlock which allows you to take an adjacent ally with you every time you teleport 10 or fewer squares. Why is this Bard Taxi instead of Warlock Taxi? I really don’t know, probably because positioning allies is really a leader-ish thing and 2 feats make this PP just silly for a bard: Bardic Wayfarer (TP as a Free Action when you TP an ally, and TP instead of Slide on your Majestic Word) and Walk Among the Fey (TP things instead of Sliding). Suggested Item: Planestrider Boots, lets you split the teleport, because it’s trivial to get a single teleport over 10 squares, they also let you “drop” an ally in a location and you can retreat or continue into a flank with that same ally. Because Incisive Dagger doesn’t work with Teleports that used to be Slides because it requires powers with the teleportation keyword, I recommend the Rubicant Blade (unless you don't need to be holding an implement, or can use any Blade implement), at least until 22nd, but that’s personal preference.

Swordmages: You’re a defender whose best powers are teleport powers, even if you aren’t MC/Hybrid Warlock for Ethereal Sidestep, you want to teleport because your mark works best when you aren’t adjacent to the target. Take TP powers and “Get a Cloak of Translocation already!”

Eladrin Knight: Even though this build's existance offends many, I'm obligated to include it as the only teleport focused Fighter. Feywild Guardian and Glimmering Blade allow for highly reliable teleportation. It's personal PP isn't bad either (and gets the Taxi ability earlier). A shame Hybrid Knight doesn't exist yet, Eladrin Knight|Swordmage would be absurdly iconic.

Eladrin Telepult: Fey Tactics, Fey Step Trailblazer, and Planar Blurring combine with Spiral Tactician (optional: Student of the Plague or MC Bard and Walk Among the Fey). Go first, get allies to their targets, and enjoy an appletini. Similar to the Taxi, but less taxing.

Sample Builds:

Taxis:
The original Taxi a Monk|Bard by Thaldryn

Winning Init, getting your allies into position, adding some buffs, and enabling ... Shows how easy it is. Proof that you don't need to be optimized to optimize (I mean really, Hybrid Monk and no Staff of the Traveller?)

Dead Kobold Transita Revenant Psionic?/Rogue/Evermeet Warlock/Master of Moments concept by Mellored.

Combines Kobold's Shifty with extra actions in Epic (Revenant and Master of Moments) and teleport boosters to be able to go 98 squares every round, only (lol) able to Taxi an ally 80 squares.

Defenders:
Invisible Stalker a Battlemind|Swordmage/Evermeet Warlock By Mommy_was_an_Orc.

Teleports with Blurred Step, Aegis of Assault, 2x Fey Step, and Daily TP Stances to maintain Invisiblity to multiple enemies thanks to Evermeet Warlock and thus encourage them to provoke/trigger mark.

Psilent Guardiana Kobold Battlemind/Evermeet Warlock by Mellored (Half-Elf varient by jmcmmin).

Shift as a Minor becomes Teleport as a Minor thanks to Staff of the Traveler, which results in Invisibility to multiple enemies, again with Evermeet Warlock, High Stealth to remain hidden against anyone without Tremorsense or True Sight.

Evermeet Knight an Eladrin Knight/Evermeet Warlock by monkeygentleman.

Really, who didn't see this coming? Teleport when you hit them, Teleport when they provoke and then hit them (and then Teleport). Knight version of the Battleminds above.

Problem Ruleslawyers?

Teleportation is Instantaneous, yet somehow it takes just as long to teleport 1 square as it does to walk 6. I guess it takes all that time to concentrate on teleporting or something.

You have to teleport to an unoccupied space. That is, unless you’re using a Swap power, because otherwise they wouldn’t work.

Targets can save to not be teleported into Hindering Terrain or into a square where they’d fall; but NOT an allies damaging zone, difficult terrain, or a trapped square.

If you teleport while prone, you don’t stop being prone, except if you teleport into the air and make an acrobatics (requires training) check to avoid taking falling damage. Let’s face it, if you were knocked prone, and then pushed off a cliff, you’d be able to do the same thing. This is cheesy as all hell, but only because WotC made Teleporting such a trivial thing to obtain.

Teleporting doesn’t require Line of Effect, this is even in the rules.

Teleporting doesn’t provoke Opportunity actions that are triggered by movement. This includes Polearm Gamble (which is triggered by entering a square), but not Repel Charge (which is triggered by the Charge Attack, if you somehow are teleporting with a charge)

Teleporting breaks Immobilized, or Restrained conditions if those conditions are caused by a physical restraint or some other effect that is located in a specific space. This means it breaks Grabs even if you don’t manage to escape the reach of the grab.

Teleportation isn’t Forced Movement, suck it dwarves.

Walk Among the Fey states that the teleport “remains subject to any restrictions on the original slide.” This means no teleporting into the air (unless the creature has flight (hover) but then why would you do that?). Some people also believe this means the teleport is restricted to the distance of the original slide, regardless of TP Boosters.

There is a difference between teleporting a creature and letting a creature teleport. This is important for determining LoS and what Boosters apply.

There is a difference between a Teleportation Power and a Power that lets you Teleport (and a Teleport you create), not all of your Boosters always apply.

“When you Teleport” stuff only applies to when you teleport yourself, not when you teleport another creature, not all your Boosters always apply.

Well, that only took me 3 months from the time I said I’d do it. And of course there’s new content that I already need to update.

Something I didn't see mentioned- the Offerings of Celestian item set benefit for having 4+ items from the set lets you teleport a number of adjacent allies equal to the number of items from the set each time you teleport; they just have to end adjacent to you. So it's possible to do a Taxi build based on that rather than Evermeet Warlock.

I always like to see guides with more narrow foci than the class guides; thanks for putting this together.

Awesome, stuff, Zathris.

Blind doesn’t stop teleportation. Teleporting requires LoS to the destination (214). Blind causes all your targets to have total concealment (229). Total Concealment counts as within LoS, just partially blocked (107)

Could you verify this? Line of sight requires "unblocked vision", which I think is negated by blinded's "you can't see" phrase.

This means it breaks Grabs even if you don’t manage to escape the reach of the grab.

I'm not sure about this. The rules say: "Immobilized or Restrained: Being immobilized or restrained doesn’t prevent a target from teleporting. If a target teleports away from a physical restraint, a monster’s grasp, or some other immobilizing effect that is located in a specific space, the target is no longer immobilized or restrained. Otherwise, the target teleports but is still immobilized or restrained when it reaches the destination space."

Teleporting "away from a monster's grasp" implies leaving its reach.

Don't forget the two Arcane Familiars (Dimensional Pet and Arcane Wisp, both Paragon tier) which grant +1 distance to all teleports. The former also has a neat teleport-denial power, but sucky movement, the latter has better movement, but less-useful power.

Also, the Eladrin Knight/Eldritch Knight is probably worth mentioning. It's quite good at this. Which reminds me, I really, really must get round to posting a build.

Also also, Eladrin Armour being Chain-only sucks. My Knight is either in Hide, or Plate, chain would be gimping him quite nastily. Cloak of Translocation offsets that somewhat, but...

It might also be worth noting just how good Staff of the Traveller can be - it turns every shift into a teleport of the same distance, as a property, which is then boostable. Everyone proficient with Staff as an implement immediately gains Ethereal Sidestep + some extras if you can pick up shifting powers, which isn't nearly as tough as teleporting ones, and you can then boost the teleport you've gained. On that note, making a little bit more of Ethereal Sidestep is probably also good - it's the only at-will self-teleport power in the game AFAIK (apart from boots of Teleportation?), and thus, is the only at-will that is affected by all of the teleport boosters, many of which require powers to work.

Great guide =)

Could you verify this? Line of sight requires "unblocked vision", which I think is negated by blinded's "you can't see" phrase.

LoS p106-107: To determine whether a power's user can see a target, pick a corner of the user's space and trace an imaginary line from that corner to any part of the target's space. The user can see the target if at least one line doesn't pass through or touch an object or an effect - such as a stone wall, a thick curtain, or a cloud of fog - that blocks the user's vision.
Even if a power's user can see a target, objects and effects can still partially block its view. If the user can see a target but at least one line passes through an obstruction, the target has cover or concealment.
Concealment p220-221: Total Concealment is listed under "Degrees of Concealment" as: An attack takes a -5 penalty to melee and ranged attack rolls against a target that has total concealment. The attacer can't see the target: It is invisible, in a totally obscured square, or in a heavily obscured square and not adjacent to the attacker.

LoS is really just line tracing to check for obstructions, but anyone who uses this tactic should be ashamed of themselves, seriously, don't do it.

This means it breaks Grabs even if you don’t manage to escape the reach of the grab.

I'm not sure about this. The rules say: "Immobilized or Restrained: Being immobilized or restrained doesn’t prevent a target from teleporting. If a target teleports away from a physical restraint, a monster’s grasp, or some other immobilizing effect that is located in a specific space, the target is no longer immobilized or restrained.

Teleporting "away from a monster's grasp" implies leaving its reach.

Teleportation p214: Immobilized or Restrained: Being immobilized or restrained doesn't prevent a target from teleporting. If a target teleports away from a physical restraint, a monster's grasp, or some other immobilizing effect that is located in a specific space, the target is no longer immobilized or restrained...

It can certainly be argued both ways what "teleports away from ... a monster's grasp" means, but given the instantaneous nature of teleporting, the RaI edges the argument in favor of teleportation breaking a grab.

Further, Grabbed p231: Other common tactics for escaping a grab are to teleport away or to be pulled, pushed, or slid out of the grabber's reach.

"teleport away" here is clearly separate from the "(forced movement) out of the grabber's reach" grammatically speaking.

I included both of the pets in the Feats section, though I suppose I should have put the feat in the paragon section...

Not sure how I can emphasize Ethereal Stride or the Staff of Travel more than I have (they are mentioned in 4 different sections)

Thanks, I also forgot my own set, the Eldritch Panoply.

When I was first doing this, the online compendium's search was just horrid, it somehow missed around 40 PPs that involve teleporting, and several EDs as well; and this is on top of the difference in searching for "Teleport" "Teleportation" and "Teleported"

So yeah, if I missed something useful, let me know.

LoS is really just line tracing to check for obstructions, but anyone who uses this tactic should be ashamed of themselves, seriously, don't do it.

Again, I'm emphasizing the see and vision components of both rulebooks.

It's like trying to argue that you can still read a book when blinded, but you just take a -10 penalty to your perception check. The rules say "You can't see" when blinded (and then go on to explain what the mechanical benefits of this are, but it doesn't change the fact you can't see), and Line of Sight rules establish, quote, "What you can see".

The RAW seems pretty cut and dry on this. Might be worth asking CustServ if you have LoS to anything when blinded.

I'm not sure about this. The rules say: "Immobilized or Restrained: Being immobilized or restrained doesn’t prevent a target from teleporting. If a target teleports away from a physical restraint, a monster’s grasp, or some other immobilizing effect that is located in a specific space, the target is no longer immobilized or restrained. Otherwise, the target teleports but is still immobilized or restrained when it reaches the destination space."

It can certainly be argued both ways what "teleports away from ... a monster's grasp" means, but given the instantaneous nature of teleporting, the RaI edges the argument in favor of teleportation breaking a grab.

The key factor is teleport away, alongside the following rules that if you are still within the area of a physical restraint after teleporting, the restraint remains. Especially when combined with the escape from grab rule talking about needing to leave the attacker's reach in order to break a grab.

The restraint was a grab targeting you in that square. You are no longer in the square where you were grabbed. The reach is irrelevant because the only thing mentioned regarding the reach is forced movement, which teleportation is not. Monsters aren't masses of grabby tentacles (well, most monsters aren't) there's nothing in the rules or logic that suggest a grab would be maintained after a teleport, you're just applying legacy rules.

I think it's reasonable to apply the "zone of restraint" to the monster's reach, since the monster's reach is established as being the area within which you can move with forced movement and still be grabbed.

That section also talks about "teleporting away", not "teleporting next to" a monster. =)

It's worth a CS request, too. I just put in one for the blind LoS question.

Some notes:
Teleportation powers' rating is very build dependent - the average teleportation power isn't that good - but if you're equipped for it, then they're much better.

I think the guide needs a bit more focus on what's dark blue/sky blue/gold for varying reasons and tossing away the black/purple/red stuff. There's a lot of chaff in the guide that is just distracting from the valuable information that you spent so much time putting together.

Invisible Stalker in my sig is a Battlemind|Swordmage teleporter.

Blinded specifically says you can't see. Line of Sight says essentially some powers require you to be able to see your target. I think getting into that argument is never going to end well. However...that does point out that some options are extremely valuable to a teleporter because they allow sight in some situations. As examples, my in-play version of the Invisible Stalker has taken Starfire Womb because he does radiant damage and when he does radiant attacks, he gets a save. He has Goggles of the Night, a normally silly item, because that lets him see in magical darkness - when you're a teleporting build focused on being able to teleport every round of a combat, being unable to see is just too much of a threat.

I think it's reasonable to apply the "zone of restraint" to the monster's reach, since the monster's reach is established as being the area within which you can move with forced movement and still be grabbed.

Monster doesn't go with you when you're teleporting. The RAI seems reasonably clear - if they had meant for you to potentially be grabbed yet again, that would seem to require some kind of check. Forced movement on the other hand doesn't work the same way and has some reasonably clear RAI as well - if you've grabbed onto something and I try to pull it away from you, it probably won't work out so well unless I pull it out of your reach.

EDIT: Forgot the most important thing - THANK YOU, this guide was a long time coming and you've made it incredibly comprehensive and thorough!

First off, is it bad I recognized both the "there is a sound I want you to hear" and the "strength of feet" quotes?

Also, formatting request - bold the name of each item/feat/power to seperate it from the description, and perhaps add a full return/double line between each item. It'll take up more space, but it'll be a LOT easier to scan through.

You might also want a mini section on the Staff of the Traveler, since you can do quite a lot with it - my favorite is minor action teleports, which can be done either through being a Kobold (shifty) or a Monk (Fallen Needle), and others I'm sure. Fallen Needle works great with another class and Half-Elf Dilettante so you're not stuck having to use the full discipline Fallen Needle Attack Technique - kudos to jmcminn for pointing that out in the Psilent Guardian thread.

Other useful notes would be quick-swap feats/items to let you swap out from attack weapons and utility items - my warlock has a Rakshasa Claw for swapping between his rod and orb and his Mithrendain and Rubicant weapons for his triggered teleports.

Finally, I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but I saw something neat in the Knight guide - Eladrin Knight + Glimmering Blade + MC Warlock + Evermeet Warlock delivers a mean catch-22 where you smack an enemy, teleport next to him becoming invisible to him and watching him either take a -5 to hit you or eat another basic melee attack for doing literally anything else. Which, of course, would teleport you again, rinse and repeat. Throw in a hybrid swordmage in there and take Intelligent Blademaster so the eladrin stats line up and you're all set with a burly, teleporting, fully plated and shielded longsword wielding eladrin terror. I might have to turn this into an actual build later.

You can't Hybrid Knights. Youo would only be able to MC either Swordmage OR Warlock, unless you took Traveller's Harlequin, in which case, no Evermeet Warlock. And you're better off in Hide past mid-paragon.

Ok, Melee Training then. You'd only lose a little damage, Knights only ever do melee basic attacks, and you'd still get to be a heavily armored, fully-functional Knight that can flicker around your enemies. Why would you be better off in Hide past mid-paragon?

EDIT: Oh man, throw in Forceful Opportunist, Hindering Shield, World Serpent's Grasp, Vicious Advantage and Hammer Shock, and you are pushing, slowing, proning and rattling them over and over again. Brutal.

With INT as a primary stat, bumping it every time, it's around mid-paragon that Hide's AC bonus is equal to Plate's (I think it works out equal when you get to +3, then dips a point below when you get plate spec, then comes back up again by epic). When that happens, hide is better because it has less check penalty, no speed penalty, and gives you extra FORT from the masterwork.

But yeah, the Eladrin Knight is very good.

I'm sure you could get higher, but he teleports an ally along with him. Though it does use the more liberal reading of some revenant feats.

my builds

F-111 Interdictor Long (200+ squares) distance ally teleporter. With some warlord stuff. Broken in a plot way, not a power way.

Thought Switch Higher level build that grants upto 14 attacks on turn 1. If your allies play along, it's broken.

Elven Critters Crit op with crit generation. 5 of these will end anything. Broken.

King Fisher Optimized net user. Moderate.

Boominator Fun catch-22 booming blade build with either strong or completely broken damage depending on your reading.

Very Distracting Warlock Lot's of dazing and major penalties to hit. Overpowered.

Pocket Protector Pixie Stealth Knight. Maximizing the defender's aura by being in an ally's/enemy's square.

Yakuza NinjIntimiAdin: Perma-stealth Striker that offers a little protection for ally's, and can intimidate bloodied enemies. Very Strong.

Chargeburgler with cheese Ranged attacks at the end of a charge along with perma-stealth. Solid, could be overpowered if tweaked.

Void Defender Defends giving a penalty to hit anyone but him, then removing himself from play. Can get somewhat broken in epic.

Scry and Die Attacking from around corners, while staying hidden. Moderate to broken, depending on the situation.

Skimisher Fly in, attack, and fly away. Also prevents enemies from coming close. Moderate to Broken depending on the enemy, but shouldn't make the game un-fun, as the rest of your team is at risk, and you have enough weaknesses.

Indestructible Simply won't die, even if you sleep though combat. One of THE most abusive character in 4e.

Sir Robin (Bravely Charge Away) He automatically slows and pushes an enemy (5 squares), while charging away. Hard to rate it's power level, since it's terrain dependent.

Death's Gatekeeper A fun twist on a healic, making your party "unkillable". Overpowered to Broken, but shouldn't actually make the game un-fun, just TPK proof.

Death's Gatekeeper mk2, (Stealth Edition) Make your party "unkillable", and you hidden, while doing solid damage. Stronger then the above, but also easier for a DM to shut down. Broken, until your DM get's enough of it.

Domination and Death Dominate everything then kill them quickly. Only works @ 30, but is broken multiple ways.

Battlemind Mc Prone-Daze Protecting your allies by keeping enemies away. Quite powerful.

The Retaliator Getting hit deals more damage to the enemy then you receive yourself, and you can take plenty of hits. Heavy item dependency, Broken.

Dead Kobold Transit Teleports 98 squares a turn, and can bring someone along for the ride. Not fully built, so i can't judge the power.

Psilent Guardian Protect your allies, while being invisible. Overpowered, possibly broken.

Rune of Vengance Do lot's of damage while boosting your teams. Strong to slightly overpowered.

Charedent BarrageA charging ardent. Fine in a normal team, overpowered if there are 2 together, and easily broken in teams of 5.

Super Knight A tough, sticky, high damage knight. Strong.

Super Duper Knight Basically the same as super knight with items, making it far more broken.

Mora, the unkillable avenger Solid damage, while being neigh indestuctable. Overpowered, but not broken.

Swordburst Maximus At-Will Close Burst 3 that slide and prones. Protects allies with off actions. Strong, possibly over powered with the right party.
