Eladrin Hybrid Swordmage / Warlord
"Never. I'll never turn to the Dark Side. You've failed, your highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me"- Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight

Key Strengths of the Build:

• Extremely High Defenses


• Strong Damage mitigation provided for allies


• Teleport Optimization


• Auto-pass social skill challenges (Arcane Mutterings ie Jedi Mind Trick!)


• Fully Legal and Feasible in LFR games (Replace Mark of Warding with Eladrin Soldier)


• 3 Minor action Heals per encounter


• Additional benefits based on variant choice below:

Combat Leader version: This version has a weaker Aegis Of Shielding (DR/Temps) in exchange for Partywide Initiative Boosts and Hail Of Steel.

Typical Monster stats have an attack Value of 5 + (Level). This puts most level 30 monsters at a value of 35.

You have Defense Bonuses Coming From:

• Shiere Knight (+2 All Defenses UsonT after Teleporting)


• Cloak Of Translocation (+2 AC and Reflex UeonT after Teleporting)


• Trick Of Knowledge (+3 All Defenses for encounter) 


• Helm Of Able Defense (+1 Will, +2 Defenses until hit)

Avoids AC attack         (57AC) 95% (22+ roll)

Avoids Fort attack      (55F) 95%  (20+ roll) 

Avoids Reflex attack  (57R) 95%  (22+ roll)

Avoids Will Attack      (55W) 95%  (20+ roll)

As a point of comparison, the Vader build sits at 55ac/52f/53r/54w. Be Advised that you will Lose 1 from all defenses in LFR due to losing Mark Of Warding. The Will defense is also 1 point lower in the non-combat Leader Variant.


Saving Throws:
You Roll Saving Throws against Charm with a minimum of +5 (+10 with a good check from Trick Of Knowledge) . A good skill check with Trick Of knoweldge lets you roll at the start of your turn with a +5 against all other status condiditions. 

Optimizing Arcana Checks for Trick Of Knoweldge and Arcane Mutterings:
As long as you roll higher than a "2" , you will qualify for your choice of a minimum of two of the benefits. Use the 1/round pre-determined reroll should that critical failure actually occur. Dont even need to bother rolling the dice for the Arcane Mutterings speech skill check.......

If You Somehow "Die":
You have a daily Epic destiny feature that resets your HP to full when you drop.

Applying Your Mark:
(Total) Aegis Of Shielding: Minor action that marks all enemies within burst 3 until the end of the encounter. Normally as a hybrid you can only do this once (unless a marked enemy dies or the mark is superceded) Aegis Of Lost Souls is a free action encounter based utlity that burst marks when an enemy dies. The Fighter multiclass is interesting in that it will apply a generic mark on the attck used with it (hit or miss). You can supercede the aegis mark with the generic one to refresh the usage of the Aegis marking utility. 


Protecting Allies:

• Marked enemies are at -3 to hit allies


• Weapon Of Arcane Bonds Helps with marking (Save ends Mark on a target hit with arcane attack. 1/enocunter)


• When you use the (2/round) Aegis of Shieling interupt effect, you can grant an adjacent ally 25/28 Temp Hps 


• You have a 3 minor action encounter Heal powers: Inspiring Word x2 (1 surge), and Rousing Words (2 surges)


• Twice per round you can reduce damage dealt to an ally (within 10) by 22/25 as an interrupt


• The temp Hps and Damage reduction can theoretically be placed on the same ally (mitigation of 47/53+ damage)


• Foe Caller Guantlets: Interrupt (1/encounter) Ranged 10, teleport to swap places with any ally attacked by an enemy you have marked, become target of the attack instead.  

Teleport Optimization:

• Paragon Path: +2 All Defenses UsonT: (whenever you teleport)


• Cloak Of Translocation: +2 AC/Reflex UsonT (whenver you use a teleport power)


• Eladrin Boots: +2 to distance of all teleports (excluding the boots power)


• Feywild Flanker: All Allies gain combat advantage againt one adjacent enemy UeonT


• Spiral dance Assault : At -will teleportation (When you hit with melee attack)
