Stage One - A Collection of New Builds with Interesting Concepts
20f8ee29785f56781d2c8cc73400d5f0.gif?v=174600


This thread will serve as a place to not only house a large collection of new and interesting builds, but to get critique on said builds to make them as optimized as can be. These builds should consist of new ideas, combos people haven't yet thought about, and optimizing aspects of the game few other people care to optimize. Hopefully, this thread can get filled to the brim with new ideas and concepts and serve as a valuable resource to players who want to take their character outside the box, and maybe miles away from it.

Rules of Posting


So, you may be wondering, what exactly makes a build idea unique over the countless other builds that have been posted here on the forums? Well, that leads into a very important argument for this thread:

Unique Builds vs. Unique Concepts

Generally speaking, every build is unique. There's basically no chance in 2 builds being identical, especially as more and more material is released. Now, that being said, that doesn't mean those unique builds are necessarily new. This is the distinction we need to understand to make this thread a valuable resource: just because you made a new build doesn't make the concept any more fresh. So please, try to refrain from posting your builds just because you like them. This thread is designed to gather new ideas about each class, so let's keep it that way.

This thread exists to highlight the latter builds, and not the former. So make sure whatever you are posting is relevant and new, and I'll do what I can to include it in the builds section.

Posting Old Builds and Expanding on Old Ideas

I want to try and avoid posting builds that have been circulating for some time, but there are exceptions. For example, if you posted a build a while ago that has an interesting concept that could go well here, I'll include it in a heartbeat. I'm also completely in favor of posting builds that utilize older concepts but in new and exciting ways. Basically, if your character has an element that makes him fresh and interesting to others, I'll be happy to include it for you.

Special Thanks To:
The Community, for the wonderul resources and support.
Everyone posting on this thread.

Also, if anyone wants to help with the formatting, I'll pm you my user info. Thanks again. Right now I'm having trouble with renaming links, changing font size, and centering the titles and pictures.

Build Discussion:
This build looks to lockdown a single target by giving them all bad choices. Riposte Strike is insane with the new SA rules letting us use it 1/turn, and if they miss you, Shadow Assassin makes them pay as well. If they move away from you, they eat a Disheartening Strike, courtesy of HBO. The enemy's best option at this point is to shift + charge, and we can use our myriad of mobility options to shift right next to him on our next turn.

Build Discussion:
I call him the Pariah. His distinguishing feature is that he exploits the Plagued Regeneration feat which effectively gives him and aura 1 that deals necrotic damage equal to his regen rate from Longtooth Shifting. His regen rate is base 6 + 3 (plagued regeneration feat) + 8 (rapid regeneration feat) = 17. Then he should have CA against all cursed targets due to Shadow Warlock Armor and teleporting 3 squares every turn, so Radiant One adds +7 fire and radiant damage to the aura damage, for a total of 24 points of autodamage to anyone adjacent to him. In order to get enemies adjacent and keep them there he has Flitting Shadows. This lets him teleport 1 target he hits each round up to 14 squares (including up into the air for 7d10 falling damage if he's feeling lucky about the target failing its save).

His goal is to remain bloodied at all times, because while bloodied he gets +3d6 damage, immunity to OAs, a +8 bonus to one NAD of his choice (generally Will), and of course his Regen and damage aura. To stay bloodied he's got soulfangs and Doom of Delban to bleed himself if monsters decide to ignore him, and he's got several THP generating powers if monsters decide to swarm him (not to mention the 17 regen rate). Plus he has a Bloodfury weapon to give him a on demand round of bloodied every encounter and his Battlecrazed Weapon to back that up once a day.

His defenses look low, but once you factor in +2 to defenses vs cursed targets, +2 from concealment from Shadowwalk, and +8 Will from the Umbral Cabalist PP feature, they look a LOT better. smile.gif

He since uses his ranged powers while adjacent for guaranteed Prime Shot bonuses of +2 to hit and +5 to damage, which in turn provokes OAs when is not bloodied (and trying to be :devilsmile.gif and doesn't provoke OAs while bloodied.

He uses a Rakshasa claw to shuffle around off-hand implements as needed; incisive dagger when teleporting, Rod of Avernus when needing to rearrange the battlefield a bit, Rod of Corruption for his first kill to spread his curse, and Rod of Ulban the rest of the time for vulnerability 10 with all of his attacks thanks to +1d6 psychic curse damage from Mindbite Scorn. It also gives him a decent +25 Thievery check. :P

Whenever his pact boon triggers he gets to hand out a free basic attack. This can go to another striker in the party or it can go to a monster--preferably one marked by the Defender for a 2-for-1 attack.

He's got a solid MBA in Eldritch Strike which deals 2d8+7d6+40 to use for OAs when monsters try to flee his aura and with 3 encounter retaliation attacks when they try to attack him. Eyes of the Vestige does 9d6+50 damage plus spreads his curse, and does an extra 14 damage if the target doesn't move away on their turn. Then he's got 2 encounter stuns, an area burst that imposes vulnerability for situational needs, and an immediate reaction attack to pounce when a monster gets bloodied. For dailies, he's got 2 powers that ramp up his aura damage, 1 area burst power with ongoing damage again for situational needs, and 1 power that provides escalating sustainable damage output and keeps him bloodied.

Build Discussion:
Let’s review.

Pretty much from level 5 onwards, you are pushing creatures and knocking them prone. You really don’t play very much different in Heroic than most other defenders.

In paragon, you gain massive increases in the damage department. All of your psionic powers gain the thunder keyword, meaning they slide and prone, as well as gain +1 to hit and +con to damage. Your close bursts and blasts increase 1 in size, meaning you are typically spamming Vicious Cobra Strike (which also marks them and gives them a penalty). Your OA’s become much more power full with HBO and Psionic Speed, giving you triple attacks anytime someone provokes an OA from you. With Polearm Gamble, you gain another form of OA. After that, you focus on increasing your defenses.

Epic brings more of the same. You gain a reliable way to generate OAs (creature stands up after you prone him), and your defenses increase to peak defender levels. You gain immunity to most conditions.

Effectively, you have great defenses, lots of immunity, very maneuverable, you mass mark and you throw out high damage and control AoE at-will (which in turn leads to more OAs). Creatures can’t ignore you, nor can they really stop you, and you are making 3-12 attacks per round (assuming creatures don’t remain prone).

Build Discussion:
This build takes advantage of Morninglord to a huge degree. Using summons, you can apply the vulnerability and then attack the target every turn. This means you have a large DPR (roughly 90) that you can combine with your large area bursts to create a devastating force.

Build Discussion:
Lucid likes fire. He can burn things in so many ways, it's hard to imagine. He can also summon other creatures to burn things for him. A very offensive build, Lucid looks to make his fire attacks as deadly as possible. Being a Tiefling helps, as well as Sympathy of Flame and Burn Everything. Vengeful Summoner adds some more damage to his summons as well.

Build Discussion:
By late paragon Gaze of Defiance is actually more accurate than astral seal since it rolls twice and with the the stone of spirit you can reroll an additional miss 1/day.  Elven accuracy gets a +1d4 to hit and is not expended if it misses 1/encounter by level 8.  The healing is still pretty solid and the starting 14 dex boosts his AC through items and feats so it think it is worth taking as is the starting 16 charisma because of all the riders. 

1 encounter power in heroic and 2 paragon/epic autohit.  About half the daily powers do not have any attack rolls and the paragon daily power lets you take a do over if you miss.  Gaze of defiance becomes needed at level 16, but before then any at will ranged power works.  Switch out prophetic guidance for bane when it hits the character builder and needs to have access to luck domain if you want the imminent luck feat.

Build Discussion:
At level 30 turn undead is a minor action that is recharged with  spending an action point or the first time he score's a critical hit  each encounter if he has used it already. Spending an action point also  causes an enemy within 5 to gain radiant vulnerability 5 (save ends).   Ike can use two channel divinity powers an encounter, plus can swap out  healing word's for CD uses and has a mace that can be used for an  additional daily CD usage.  Turn undead targets undead, devils, and demons along  with one of the following:angels, giants and dragons at +34.  Ike has  two backup +5 symbols of foe turning to use on the two he did not pick,  so lets say for dragons he is +34 and for angels and giants he is only  +33.  It is a close burst 11, 12 if Ike has hit a milestone.  It does  6d10+15 radiant damage and he can roll the 6d10 twice and pick the  better result.  On a hit it pushes enemies 11 squares and either dazes  or immobilizes, the target loses any concealment and can not become  concealed until the end of Ike's next turn.  On a miss it does half  damage and pushes 11.  It creates a burst 11 zone that lasts to the end of Ike's  next turn and does 1d6+9 radiant damage to undead. If an enemy is hit by  the power all allies in the burst make a save.  It does an additional 1d6 vs undead.

Ike also has the channel divinity power Solar Enemy along with Pelor's Radiance  and Rebuke Undead, both of which target undead, demons and devils.

What happens on a crit: each of these three attack channel divinity  powers crits on 19-20.  Against undead it is 18-20.  Ike gets 6 temporary hit points. Any  enemy critted takes 3d6 extra untyped damage, its space and the adjacent  spaces remove invisibility and causes enemies who end their turn in  those spaces to take 3d6 radiant damage (save ends), and the target and  each enemy within 5 either gain radiant vulnerability 10 or increase  existing vulnerability by 10 until the end of Ike's next turn.  Demons  and undead make that save at a -2.  This also happens with his other radiant powers, minus the 18-20 crit range for undead.

On using any of these channel divinity powers, any enemy that ends its turn within 2  squares of Ike or who hits Ike takes 14 radiant damage until the end of  Ike's next turn and an ally within 10 squares heals 13 hp.  Once per day if Ike misses everyone he regains the use of a radiant power and  once per day he can also add 3 radiant points of damage to these powers,  or 4 if he has hit a milestone.  When Ike is out of encounter attack  powers he regains the use of turn undead.

Build Discussion:
This build focuses on utilizing the amount of free attacks you are granted by Aegis of Assault. The best way to do this is to hybrid Druid in order to get access to Savage Rend. What this means is we can grab some Rushing Cleats and Polearm Momentum for at-will proning. This build plays as a secondary Defender or skirmishing Controller, since you don't have a way to prevent attacks on your allies, but you have some pretty hefty mark punishment.

Build Discussion:
The point of the build is that it marks a target and then goes to charge something else and when the mark is violated teleports over to whack the violator with a pretty big basic attack.  This is hopefully producing an extra basic attack most rounds that are doing some significant lightning damage, while the PC still has pretty high defenses (starts with hide, barbarian agility, and an 18 str/int) so it can handle being attacked.  It is more striker than defender.

Build Discussion:
This build was made to be as versatile as possible. To achieve this, we use the Gythka, a double-spear that can also be thrown. This provides us with a large amount of options to take advantage of, most notably things like Manticore's Fury and Ultimate Confrontation. This build achieves decent DPR, but it's real strength is taking advantage of any situation, from being in the thick of melee or throwing the Gythka at range.

Build Discussion:
The theme of this build is that it focuses on weakening enemies, debuffing their attacks, defending allies through the spirit companion, temporary hitpoints, and damage reduction.  It does not sacrifice on healing much, although it is not as good at healing as a pure one of either class built for healing would be.  It would make a good 2nd leader in a party with a good enabler like a taclord and would really stretch out battles and annoy the DM who will have a very hard time challenging the party with damage.

It is also pretty tough: fairly high defenses, can generate temporary hitpoints for itself, and has a lot of hitpoints and healing surges since it starts with an 18 con and boosts it at every chance, along with taking dwarven durablility.

The multiclass fighter is because he wants the temp hitpoint 1/encounter when hit by an attack and for the use of second wind twice an encounter with epic recovery, which with shared healing feat also allows allies to spend surges when next to the companion (within 2 of the spirit at level 24).  So losing the normal 3rd healing word does not matter much with gamblers word and this.  Plus he gets endurance as a skill which seems to fit thematically

By level 2 he has a daily power that for the encounter reduces damage by 5 and one that does it by 4, plus an at will and encounter power that generate temp hitpoints keyed to con mod.  Later on he adds powers that weaken and other wise make it harder for enemies to damage allies.  By mid paragon he pretty much always has a daily utility or attack power available that reduces damage or weakens enemies along with a paragon path encounter power that weakens, and in case he doesn't have any weakening/damage redcution dailies left there is always spirit of healing to fall back on.

Compassionate healer is to spread out the healing surges and because its path abilities work with any healing, not just divine or primal and because it weakens with both its attacks.  Deity does not particularly matter since you don't take any domain/channel divinity powers.

Build Discussion:
The basic point of this build is to abuse the pacifist healer feat errata from a few months ago.  It is a solid healer and controller and grants a decent number of ally charges through the paragon path. None of the powers have a hit/miss if they deal damage, but it still puts out a decent amount of damage through direct power damage, granted attacks, and from making enemies attack each other.  At the same time because you are not fulfilling the condition of "whenever you hit or miss a bloodied enemy and deal damage to it" you never have to worry about the stun from damaging a bloodied enemy and the weakening from Healer's mercy is not that bad.

Many of the daily powers and storm pillar do not have attack rolls.  Staff is because you want an architects staff while you have consecrated ground.  A few of the attack powers can be swapped out and you could use magc missle and wizard's fury for instance, but most people don't seem to like the wizard autohit powers like those.  I am not attached to the race (deva would work fine) or many of the feats, but I like the idea of the paragon path since it fits the theme, works fairly well and it helps with it being a decent enabler.  The deity needs to have the torment domain for the perfect torment channel divinity and the archmage is a good way to get more dailies, but demigod or other could work as well.

Build Dicussion:
I basically just combined the many different tricks I've worked out of the Warlock Class in an efficient and versatile Build, focusing mainly on providing some excellent Striker damage while playing a bit of a Defender secondary. The trick is to balance out different Catch-22 situations* and provide the enemy with absolutely no way to gain the advantage during the Battle, or to just pester enough enemies with Divine Challenge, Divine Sanction, and Warlock's Curse that Hugh's allies are left free to focus on the more important targets while the mob chases him down. Unfortunately for his enemies, Ethereal Sidestep with a range of 4 means Hugh is incredibly hard to pin down, and should he find his enemies are clumped around him, his combos and nova potential come into play.

Hugh has access to enough buffs that he could potentially have multiple buffs every Encounter of a day. However, his play tactics tend more towards burning them all at the same time and going to town on one poor sucker. While Virtue is the mainstay here (with his Belt boosting it to a straight 50 THP), Wrath of the Gods + Heart of the Titan + Divine Aegis makes him nigh unstoppable; throw in Cloak of Winter Storm for extra fun.

Lastly are his novas, which can be absolutely devastating if used correctly. First off is an Action Point followed up with Stunning Smite + Visage of Zhudun, which not only deals an easy few hundred points of damage, but also can be emulated as early as 9th level with Otherwind Stride + Hunger of Hadar; throw in a Storm Pillar for even more fun. His second combo is only available at 30th, but Strand of Fate + Blade Cascade is still by far one of the highest-damaging combos out there. Either way, this Build can be explosive when needed, but sacrifices very little of its versatility to get there; it's At-Will DPR also keeps up with the usual standards. In fact, the one weakness it has (well, other than mediocre AC) is that poor Hugh is incredibly Feat-starved; the TWF Feats, all kinds of Crit abusers, and a plethora of excellent defensive options (for either Hugh or his allies) all go out the window in pursuit of maxing out his damage, accuracy, and getting his many different Features to coexist and synergize. Nonetheless, the Build as a whole is fairly strong IMO, and I'm quite happy with where it ended up.

*Basic Catch-22s
Divine Challenge + Warlock's Curse + Eldritch Strike: They either take a good chunk of DC damage and are Weakened, or they swing back at Hugh and face Riposte damage (also Radiant!) and possibly even his Darkspiral Aura, which can also Weaken their attack if it deals more than 12 damage (which it will with d10s and Bloodied Boon).

Divine Challenge + Warlock's Curse + Spiteful Glamour: They must now wade through Hugh's allies to get to him, try to hit him from range with massive penalties, or just take the DC damage and be Weakened. Either way, this is a great combo for Hugh to open an Encounter with.

Formatting your posts

I feel like this is an important topic to keep this thread organized, so let's cover the order or general outline builds should be posted in (I'm very lenient on this, but try to at least include everything that I ask).

1. Brief explanation/link: not explaning your entire build, but a basic outline (class/PP/ED and anything else that is crucial). Also, if you have a link for your build, please make it easy to find.

2. CB summary/organized summary: I don't mind if you put it in CB or do a LDB style breakdown for your character, but please make it so that all necessary information is present and your build is fully equipped and everything is chosen.

3. Detailed explanation: I know everyone here needs more than just a CB summary to see how a build is supposed to work, so please include a decently detailed summary of how your build works and if you want why it is so unique.


Beginner's Guide to CharOp

I like seing new players post builds. It brings back some memories and gives a lot of us new perspectives (as in, they don't see Weapon Expertise as a must, etc.), so I'll be adding this thread in the hopes that these new players know the general intentions of CharOp.

A couple of questions: Do you want single builds per post?  And where are you going to put hybrids? 

My most interesting and unique builds tend to be hybrids since you are trying to exploit two classes at once.   Here is the raging teleporter I put up the other day that I had not seen yet, a genasi barbarain/swordmage that uses an executioners axe.  The point of the build is that it marks a target and then goes to charge something else and when the mark is violated teleports over to whack the violator with a pretty big basic attack.  This is hopefully producing an extra basic attack most rounds that are doing some significant lightning damage, while the PC still has pretty high defenses (starts with hide, barbarian agility, and an 18 str/int) so it can handle being attacked.  It is more striker than defender.  I will post some other builds later on.

Genasi, Barbarian|Swordmage, Ghost Blade, Demigod

Malec-Keth Janissary or Sword of Assault also works for the paragpn path, but items are more for ghost blade.  Important that all swordmage powers are weapon past early heoric since he does not have a blade, but you could do a variant with a fullblade.

My most interesting and unique builds tend to be hybrids since you are trying to exploit two classes at once.   Here is the raging teleporter I put up the other day that I had not seen yet, a genasi barbarain/swordmage that uses an executioners axe.  The point of the build is that it marks a target and then goes to charge something else and when the mark is violated teleports over to whack the violator with a pretty big basic attack.  This is hopefully producing an extra basic attack most rounds that are doing some significant lightning damage, while the PC still has pretty high defenses (starts with hide, barbarian agility, and an 18 str/int) so it can handle being attacked.  It is more striker than defender.  I will post some other builds later on.

raging teleporter

I made some minor changes that I will post later+it takes storm manifestation as the first one and fire second and uses lightning lure in early heroic, followed by luring strike later on.  It is not very item dependent, although it probably would want to focus some on boosting saves/will defense.

I actually just made a hybrids section instead of the Misc. section.

I will add your build now, nice work.

It also doesn't matter to me how many builds you want to add per post.
A couple more builds have been added.

Any Leaders? I want it to look complete.
Here's my very mobile razorclaw Druid|Monk/moonstalker with a dash of lightningcheese. Decent single target damage, decent control, very mobile. 

I'm not sure if this quite qualifies as unique, but it's a hybrid build, so that's a start :D Any suggestions very much appreciated, just post them on the thread for the build (I'm sure there are still ways for me to improve it!)
You might want to include links to threads that discuss these for more detail.

Here are three different clerics I posted over the last few months, the first two are pure leaders, but the last is more of a controller.

The first is a high accuracy ranged build.  Nothing particularly inherently powerful about it, but the powers either autohit or are very accurate through rerolls so the effects almost always go off.  By late paragon with most attacks you will either not be rolling at all to effect your enemies or be double rolling to hit, along with possible rerolls of some of those when you miss.

elf cleric divine oracle harbinger of doom

By late paragon Gaze of Defiance is actually more accurate than astral seal since it rolls twice and with the the stone of spirit you can reroll an additional miss 1/day.  Elven accuracy gets a +1d4 to hit and is not expended if it misses 1/encounter by level 8.  The healing is still pretty solid and the starting 14 dex boosts his AC through items and feats so it think it is worth taking as is the starting 16 charisma because of all the riders. 

1 encounter power in heroic and 2 paragon/epic autohit.  About half the daily powers do not have any attack rolls and the paragon daily power lets you take a do over if you miss.  Gaze of defiance becomes needed at level 16, but before then any at will ranged power works.  Switch out prophetic guidance for bane when it hits the character builder and needs to have access to luck domain if you want the imminent luck feat.

The second is a hybrid bear shaman that focuses on weakening, damage resistance, and temporary hit points generation and is still a solid overall leader.  Can take a party through a lot of encounters.

dwarf cleric/shaman compassionate healer demigod

The theme of this build is that it focuses on weakening enemies, debuffing their attacks, defending allies through the spirit companion, temporary hitpoints, and damage reduction.  It does not sacrifice on healing much, although it is not as good at healing as a pure one of either class built for healing would be.  It would make a good 2nd leader in a party with a good enabler like a taclord and would really stretch out battles and annoy the DM who will have a very hard time challenging the party with damage.

It is also pretty tough: fairly high defenses, can generate temporary hitpoints for itself, and has a lot of hitpoints and healing surges since it starts with an 18 con and boosts it at every chance, along with taking dwarven durablility.

The multiclass fighter is because he wants the temp hitpoint 1/encounter when hit by an attack and for the use of second wind twice an encounter with epic recovery, which with shared healing feat also allows allies to spend surges when next to the companion (within 2 of the spirit at level 24).  So losing the normal 3rd healing word does not matter much with gamblers word and this.  Plus he gets endurance as a skill which seems to fit thematically

By level 2 he has a daily power that for the encounter reduces damage by 5 and one that does it by 4, plus an at will and encounter power that generate temp hitpoints keyed to con mod.  Later on he adds powers that weaken and other wise make it harder for enemies to damage allies.  By mid paragon he pretty much always has a daily utility or attack power available that reduces damage or weakens enemies along with a paragon path encounter power that weakens, and in case he doesn't have any weakening/damage redcution dailies left there is always spirit of healing to fall back on.

Compassionate healer is to spread out the healing surges and because its path abilities work with any healing, not just divine or primal and because it weakens with both its attacks.  Deity does not particularly matter since you don't take any domain/channel divinity powers.

The third is a violent pacifist: cleric/wizard hybrid that does a good bit of damage while never triggering the pacifist stun because it never "hits or misses"  to deal damage.  It is more of a controller than a leader, but can heal better than many pure leaders and has some ally enabling as well.

Githzerai, Cleric|Wizard, Zealous Demagogue, Archmage

The basic point of this build is to abuse the pacifist healer feat errata from a few months ago.  It is a solid healer and controller and grants a decent number of ally charges through the paragon path. None of the powers have a hit/miss if they deal damage, but it still puts out a decent amount of damage through direct power damage, granted attacks, and from making enemies attack each other.  At the same time because you are not fulfilling the condition of "whenever you hit or miss a bloodied enemy and deal damage to it" you never have to worry about the stun from damaging a bloodied enemy and the weakening from Healer's mercy is not that bad.

Many of the daily powers and storm pillar do not have attack rolls.  Staff is because you want an architects staff while you have consecrated ground.  A few of the attack powers can be swapped out and you could use magc missle and wizard's fury for instance, but most people don't seem to like the wizard autohit powers like those.  I am not attached to the race (deva would work fine) or many of the feats, but I like the idea of the paragon path since it fits the theme, works fairly well and it helps with it being a decent enabler.  The deity needs to have the torment domain for the perfect torment channel divinity and the archmage is a good way to get more dailies, but demigod or other could work as well.

I'll add those builds in.

I couldn't rename the links for some reason, so if I can, I'll add them in. Some were short enough to just put in there, but others (like your raging teleporter) we're too large and messed with formatting.

@psk: Can you fix the formatting of the CB summary in your thread? After that I'll be happy to add your build.

@Gelatinous: Your builds need at least some items. Add in some basic +6 items if you aren't sure what to add in or anything, so people can get a basic idea of what your final AC and things are. Thanks.

Oh and great idea for a handbook!
Except for the barbarian, they are all there, I just forgot to equip them in CB.  I will update them all tonight.  I will also update the barbarian with some minor changes.
A build I have been working on but haven't quite finished yet is a Revenant Longtooth Shifter Warlock that uses the Plagued Regeneration Spellscar feat for an aura that deals 20 necrotic plus 7 fire and radiant. :D

@Malkonnen: Sounds very interesting. Looking forward to a final write up.

@GO: as soon as you get them to me I'll be happy to add them in.

@MC: Lucid and Jerry can go in, but I'm not sure if Miho is really unique. Ranger Novas are pretty common. If I'm missing something though, please point it out.
I updated the format, Grey_Warden. May Andraste's grace shine upon you.

Ive never even seen a Soul Thief build, much less one on that level who is currently a DPR Nova Queen!  Doesn't matter... is your handbook, I won't get my panties in a bunch
@psk: Then I will post the build in as well.

@MC: While no one has used Soul Thief, I just don't see it being unique in concept. I want to add it, but for the integrity of the handbook, I can't. Oh well, you got 2 in Laughing.
You... you... you Jerk!  Why would you do that!  Ooooooh I can't wait till Thursday night!!

Just kidding, fair enough!
You... you... you Jerk!  Why would you do that!  Ooooooh I can't wait till Thursday night!!

Just kidding, fair enough!

Yeah, we can't have them all.

Let's keep those builds coming, and please give a brief explanation of the build when you post.

I also don't need builds with their own threads, so whatever you guys feel like posting is fine with me.

And don't forget that this is also here for some critique on the builds you see posted. Just point out anything you see to make these concepts better.
I was thinking of switching my moonstalker to draeven marauder. Thoughts? I'll let you know if I go ahead with this :D
I was thinking of switching my moonstalker to draeven marauder. Thoughts? I'll let you know if I go ahead with this :D

If it works with Implement powers, I like the change. Moonstalker is nice when you have a way to keep the enemy down for long periods of time, but since you don't, I like the Marauder's expanded crit range all the time.

What about Blood Moon Stalker? It gives you a lot, from expanded crit range to extra second winds, so you might want to take a look.
I'm pretty sure it works with implement powers as currently worded. It just says "you can score critical hits with spears on a roll of 19-20".

Draeven Marauder would result in a drop in damage against prone targets, but a decent boost in damage against other non-prone targets. And it would help with Land's Fury quite a lot

The powers are pretty useless, particularly the encounter power. I guess I could swap out a feat to get reserve maneuver. Do you think effect lines on the daily trigger mark of storm/rushing cleats/polearm momentum?
Here's a build that aims to make the most of the Tiefling's punishment for successful saving throws. I've seen bits of this elsewhere, but I don't think I've seen it all put together.

ITEMS Desiccating Accurate staff +5, Eberron Shard of Bleeding Wounds (heroic tier), Magic Specter Plate Armor +5,  Amulet of Protection +5


 


The build imposes two (save ends) effects with every use of ray of frost: a penalty to Fortitude from desiccating staff, and Ongoing 5 fire from arcane admixture +Consuming the weak + Hell's burning mark.

Saving against either one of these on any turn after a hit deals 20 damage from Hellfire master +Radiant one. Icy grip of Stygia deals an additional 26 when the save is against the ongoing fire.
Each time they _don't_ save, you get 5 thp from Beshaba's Boon.

Hitting twice in a row adds an additional +10 to every separate damage instance due to Morninglord+Radiant one. 

On the occasional crit, font of radiance adds another damaging (save ends) effect

As an added bonus, each hit with Ray of Frost gives you an effective +5 attack bonus for the next use against the same creature.

All told, the DPR at level 24 is about 135, and the DM is annoyed by the number of minor status effects on the monster.


Just a CB summary doesn't appeal to me. It's much more interesting just to know what the key combo is.
I updated all my builds with the equipment worn and made a few minor changes.  There are a couple of other builds other people posted that I plan to update and then post in the next few days, one is shaman/ranger who has both a spirit companion and a beast companion.  The other is a laser cleric who maximizes turn undead.   It is not super optimized in general but by level 30 the turn undead power is a minor action that is something like a close blast 12 that does 6d10+ 16 radiant damage, targets 4 different creature types, dazes, restrains, heals and grants ally saves, and gives you some temp hitpoints while creating a zone that damages undead.
@Kergma: I'll add the build in.

@Shaka: while this is true, that's why I ask people to include basic breakdowns of how their build works. While a CB summary doesn't say much on it's own, combining that with a build breakdown gives enough info in my mind to be able to see what the combo is and build off it.

@GO: Those builds will be added in now.
Luv your Catch 22 Halfling Rogue, I'm going to look at it a little more deeply after I hit Submit Post, but has a hafling rogue lover, what made you choose halfling over a dex/str race?
Luv your Catch 22 Halfling Rogue, I'm going to look at it a little more deeply after I hit Submit Post, but has a hafling rogue lover, what made you choose halfling over a dex/str race?

Just mainly for Second Chance + Nimble Dodge or the other AC boosting feat. I wanted to emphasize the catch 22 aspect as much as I could, and I figured since I would be going Shadow Assassin, the forced reroll outweighs the +1 to sneak attack damage.

If I were to switch PP to say, Gladiator Champion, then a Str/Dex race would be my first choice. I'm going to make a Rogue/Gladiator Champion/____ when the CB is updated. I feel like it's one of the heaviest catch-22 situations out there, especially with Psychic Lock + Disheartening Strike on your OAs.
Ok here is the build:

I haven't gone back and fixed the order I took things by any means, and the build is feat starved so i have gone back and forth on which feats to include. Weapon focus got cut, bloodied boon got cut, beseech patron got cut, etc.



I call him the Pariah. His distinguishing feature is that he exploits the Plagued Regeneration feat which effectively gives him and aura 1 that deals necrotic damage equal to his regen rate from Longtooth Shifting. His regen rate is base 6 + 3 (plagued regeneration feat) + 8 (rapid regeneration feat) = 17. Then he should have CA against all cursed targets due to Shadow Warlock Armor and teleporting 3 squares every turn, so Radiant One adds +7 fire and radiant damage to the aura damage, for a total of 24 points of autodamage to anyone adjacent to him. In order to get enemies adjacent and keep them there he has Flitting Shadows. This lets him teleport 1 target he hits each round up to 14 squares (including up into the air for 7d10 falling damage if he's feeling lucky about the target failing its save).

His goal is to remain bloodied at all times, because while bloodied he gets +3d6 damage, immunity to OAs, a +8 bonus to one NAD of his choice (generally Will), and of course his Regen and damage aura. To stay bloodied he's got soulfangs and Doom of Delban to bleed himself if monsters decide to ignore him, and he's got several THP generating powers if monsters decide to swarm him (not to mention the 17 regen rate). Plus he has a Bloodfury weapon to give him a on demand round of bloodied every encounter and his Battlecrazed Weapon to back that up once a day.

His defenses look low, but once you factor in +2 to defenses vs cursed targets, +2 from concealment from Shadowwalk, and +8 Will from the Umbral Cabalist PP feature, they look a LOT better.

He since uses his ranged powers while adjacent for guaranteed Prime Shot bonuses of +2 to hit and +5 to damage, which in turn provokes OAs when is not bloodied (and trying to be :devil and doesn't provoke OAs while bloodied.

He uses a Rakshasa claw to shuffle around off-hand implements as needed; incisive dagger when teleporting, Rod of Avernus when needing to rearrange the battlefield a bit, Rod of Corruption for his first kill to spread his curse, and Rod of Ulban the rest of the time for vulnerability 10 with all of his attacks thanks to +1d6 psychic curse damage from Mindbite Scorn. It also gives him a decent +25 Thievery check. :P

Whenever his pact boon triggers he gets to hand out a free basic attack. This can go to another striker in the party or it can go to a monster--preferably one marked by the Defender for a 2-for-1 attack.

He's got a solid MBA in Eldritch Strike which deals 2d8+7d6+40 to use for OAs when monsters try to flee his aura and with 3 encounter retaliation attacks when they try to attack him. Eyes of the Vestige does 9d6+50 damage plus spreads his curse, and does an extra 14 damage if the target doesn't move away on their turn. Then he's got 2 encounter stuns, an area burst that imposes vulnerability for situational needs, and an immediate reaction attack to pounce when a monster gets bloodied. For dailies, he's got 2 powers that ramp up his aura damage, 1 area burst power with ongoing damage again for situational needs, and 1 power that provides escalating sustainable damage output and keeps him bloodied.

Here is his attack bonus break down:
+8 Con mod
+15 half level
+6 enhancement
+3 feat
+2 CA
+2 Prime Shot (implement only) / +3 Proficiency (weapon only)
=+36 vs NAD with implement attacks / +37 vs AC with Eldritch Strike

And damage bonuses:
+8 Con mod
+6 enhancement
+5 off-hand enhancement
+2 longtooth shifting
+7 Radiant One
+3d6 battlecrazed weapon
+4d6+7 warlock's curse
+10 psychic vulnerability (rod of ulban)
+5 Called Shot
=+7d6+50 with implement attacks / +7d6+40 with Eldritch Strike

Eyes of the Vestige DPR:
0.7 * 81.5 + .05 * 125 = 63.3 + 24 aura damage = 97.3 DPR

Not bad for a non-multiattacker

====== Copy to Clipboard and Press the Import Button on the Summary Tab ====== /[sblock]

the main goal is to be the best possible leader, and for this i focus on the various aspects of the leading department:

buff/debuff: phoenix can grant the highest bonuses to a large group of allies (the whole party) that i have seen so far. this is both bonuses to accuracy and damage, and they can be granted in a 4/5 encounter basis, and the accuracy bonuses include me as well. bonuses will be given at lv 30, but are available at a considerable ammount since lv 11

accuracy bonuses:
inspiring attack action:  +9 to me and all allies
numunous cascade: +2 to all allies (stacks with inspiring attack action for +11)

damage bonuses:


  • stalker boon: +9 to damage against blooded opponents

  • mighty spirit leap: avrg +18 to damage

  • blood reaper spirits: +15 to dmg

  • horns of the undefeated khan : +2 to hit, +5 to damage

  • huntmasters horn: +9 to damage

  • note that all these bonuses stack, and the encounter powers can be extended for 2 rounds every encounter


enabling:
  • i use claws of the eagle to further optimize the bonuses granted by SC , and grant CA to all allies

  • thriumpant spirit is a constant attack granter that lets allies make free attacks when they kill an opponent ( activates by minion popping as well,)

  • shackles of the mountain lowers AC to the lower of its fortitude, reflex or will, every encounter

healing:
  • geared with most healing equipment

  • ghostly rejuvination adds insubstantial to allies whenever is the target of a healing power

  • mark of healing grants saving throws on demand

  • more ways to grant saving throws : sudden restoration, medicine of many forms, horns of the undefeated khan

self accuracy:
  • this build just cant miss: by lv 24 , i have access to elven accuracy, memory of a thousand lifetimes( rolling 2d10 for spirit powers), the armor gives a reroll on attacks against will +6, the stone of wind gives a reroll with +5 , the couter of second chances lets you reroll an spirit attack (they are melee attacks)

survivability:
  • self healing : diamond cincture

  • great NAD

  • fey warrior boots: lets you teleport after being hit at will, lets you scape multiattacking enemies

  • in case of emergency, ring of invigoration.


so, this is how we lead in all aspects of the game, and we do it like no other most of the times  


I request that you have a link to my DPR king candidates in your striker section as I will be linking to this thread.  I've wanted to do a thread like this but never felt I had the time to keep track of all these wonderful builds.  The DPR link is in my sig.
DPR King Candidates 3.0
How much damage should I shoot for?
You're fired : 1 Kills Per 5 Rounds = .2 KPR Fair Striker : 2 Kills Per 5 Rounds = .4 KPR Highly Optimized : 3 Kills Per 5 Rounds = .6 KPR Nerfbat please : 4 Kills Per 5 Rounds = .8 KPR It's OVER 9000!!!!!: 5 Kills Per 5 Rounds = 1+ KPR
DPR? KPR? KP4R? Bless you
DPR = Damage Per round ~= Chance to hit * damage on a hit KPR = Kills Per Round. 1 Kill = 8*Level+24 damage = DPR/(8*level+24) KPNR = Kills Per N Rounds. How many standards can you kill in N rounds?
Sorry guys, been a little busy. I'll get to your posts:

@Malk: I like it, and thanks for the in-depth analysis. It will be added.

@saigon: Can you give me a rundown of what makes it unique and interesting to play? If you would I'd be more than happy to add it in.

@borg: not a problem Laughing
I will put the turn undead build up this weekend.  All I have left is to equip him, but this is the only build I have made that is item dependent so I need to get it right.  If I have time I will work on the shaman ranger combo, but that will take a while longer since I am not very familiar with beastmaster rangers and the builds I have seen only went to late heroic.
Sounds good GO. I'll add it as soon as you get it posted.
I can't post the build yet (haven't bought my own copy of PH3), but you can make a variant pariah - in that everybody gets away from your target, rather than gets away from you - with an INT/CHR Warlock/Psion hybrid that picks up all the 'make my target hit his friend' powers.  Now I want to find a way to make my target use ranged and/or non-basic attacks...

Best complements I have yet received

Making it up as I go along:

{BRJN} If I was writing the Tome of Lore, I would let Auppenser sleep. But I also would have him dream. In his dreaming he re-activates the innate powers of (some) mortal minds. Or his dreaming changes the nature of reality - currently very malleable thanks to Spellplague &c. Or whatever really cool flavor text and pseudo-science explanation people react positively to.

{Lord_Karsus} You know, I like that better than the explanations for the Spellplague.

 

{BRJN} If Bhaal approves of The Joker, does he approve of Jack Nicholson's portrayal or Heath Ledger's protrayal more?

{Stigger} That question is utterly classic, and completely on target.

 

Prepped ahead of time:

I started the 4e thread "1001 Failed Interrogation Results" (now lost in that great electronic goodnight, alas)

{ADHadh} These are all good and make sense! I just can't come up with something that's not covered here and is not completely ridiculous.

 

(News bulletin: Updated thread to be posted after I review the 5e DMG)

 

My 5e characters

Active:

Erevyn Meliamne, Wood Elf Rogue1/Monk2, AL, inspired by "Radar O'Reilly" from M*A*S*H: Perception(max)

Alavos of Kirauma, Half-elf Ancients Paladin8, HotDQ / Tiamat, Warlord themed - now an NPC because I was voted DM for our group !

Characters Ready-to-go:

none at present; gotta work on somebody from below !

Concepts I'm kicking around:

Tiefling Bard - party "face", skillful, future business master (using 3e FRCS background material) and patron to beginning adventurers.

Barbarian w/Tough feat, to be nearly indestructible

"Truenamer" cleric - all spells are Verbal

"Buggy" Wizard - insect flavor on everything.  His DMPC / BBEG version is going to become a beetle version of a Worm That Walks.  (See the 4e MM picture of a Lamia.)  Because lichdom is so cliche.

 

Ike Turner: Human Cleric of Pelor (mc invoker) Radiant Servant Demigod

At level 30 turn undead is a minor action that is recharged with spending an action point or the first time he score's a critical hit each encounter if he has used it already. Spending an action point also causes an enemy within 5 to gain radiant vulnerability 5 (save ends).  Ike can use two channel divinity powers an encounter, plus can swap out healing word's for CD uses and has a mace that can be used for an additional daily CD usage.  Turn undead targets undead, devils, and demons along with one of the following:angels, giants and dragons at +34.  Ike has two backup +5 symbols of foe turning to use on the two he did not pick, so lets say for dragons he is +34 and for angels and giants he is only +33.  It is a close burst 11, 12 if Ike has hit a milestone.  It does 6d10+15 radiant damage and he can roll the 6d10 twice and pick the better result.  On a hit it pushes enemies 11 squares and either dazes or immobilizes, the target loses any concealment and can not become concealed until the end of Ike's next turn.  On a miss it does half damage and pushes 11.  It creates a burst 11 zone that lasts to the end of Ike's next turn and does 1d6+9 radiant damage to undead. If an enemy is hit by the power all allies in the burst make a save.  It does an additional 1d6 vs undead.

Ike also has the channel divinity power Solar Enemy along with Pelor's Radiance and Rebuke Undead, both of which target undead, demons and devils.

What happens on a crit: each of these three attack channel divinity powers crits on 19-20.  Against undead it is 18-20.  Ike gets 6 temporary hit points. Any enemy critted takes 3d6 extra untyped damage, its space and the adjacent spaces remove invisibility and causes enemies who end their turn in those spaces to take 3d6 radiant damage (save ends), and the target and each enemy within 5 either gain radiant vulnerability 10 or increase existing vulnerability by 10 until the end of Ike's next turn.  Demons and undead make that save at a -2.  This also happens with his other radiant powers, minus the 18-20 crit range for undead.

On using any of these channel divinity powers, any enemy that ends its turn within 2 squares of Ike or who hits Ike takes 14 radiant damage until the end of Ike's next turn and an ally within 10 squares heals 13 hp.  Once per day if Ike misses everyone he regains the use of a radiant power and once per day he can also add 3 radiant points of damage to these powers, or 4 if he has hit a milestone.  When Ike is out of encounter attack powers he regains the use of turn undead.

There may some dispute on how he can recharge turn undead through divine mastery, epic resurgance and divine miracle, but lets assume those all work.  There are feats like coordinated explosion where I ran out of slots and alternate paragon paths I wanted to include and will add those in the sblock later.  For equipment I think I am pretty close, but he needed a level 27 implement so I based GP on gold + the extra from having a cheap implement,  I will list the fairly essential items later as well.
