I'd never have thought my build guide could get so many views!

Do you activate the runearm in combat or use it just for the stats?

I use it a lot. Not a big damage factor but it put curse and 3 different dots (acid/cold/untyped) on mobs

Can you still find items with 2 sockets in the game?
If not, do you have alternate gearsets for people that are just starting to gear up this character for 1-30 reincarnations?

With U66 in play, are there any significant changes to the ROBOT?

With U66 in play, are there any significant changes to the ROBOT?

Not significant, but I swapped out the 1 ftr level to dragon Lord. It gives +4 tactical DC (for Dire Charge and Mighty Slam)
It also gives the basic dragon lord Aura in addition to the Warlock aura which looks cooler

So nothing significant just tiny improvements. The build works with normal Ftr lvl, only diff is instead of the DL aura you can take Precision for a better fort. bypass.

I havent tested the DL version myself (but upgraded the build description) because I need to lesser TR but dont want to do that till u66 is this buggy.

Should the low past life version use DL instead fighter also?

 

[Zvdegor]

Should the low past life version use DL instead fighter also?

No. +4 Tactical dc wont change much on a 1st life/low PL build.
2 feats is more useful from the regular Ftr.

Would taking Bladeforged instead of warforged be good for cheap scribe? Just lesser out the Paly

You need a +1 lesser heart for BF.
If you want to keep the pally level better to go
15/3/2 arti/pally/ftr or dragon lord or 16/3/1 arti/pally warlock.
And for better defense you can play with enhancement trees. 24 vistani so you have 19 points to soend it for the pally stance

Like I said, lesser TR out the Paly... doing if for the cheap awesome heal of scribe, as well as weapon attachment & transformation for cheap boosts

You can put points into the racial tree but you have to take it away from vistani and rmm and youblose utility and melee power.
If you dont plan to run high reapers at cap it will be ok.

Are the level 5 cannith crafting gloves meant to have doublestrike, or doubleshot?

Doubleshot. I level this build 1-14 with Repeater X-bow

15/3/2 bladeforged would work with a first lifer? could I run effective elite or low reaper solo with this? I have almost everything unlocked in the game, just too casual to TR
