I generally run a caster toon and a melee toon which generally are doing reincarnation/reaper point trains 90%. The below is what I use on my caster toon. This is far from perfect and I am not an uber caster, but this is effective, can run INT/WIS/CHA setup with some minor changes, and checks...

I do refer to TWF w. strikethrough with Tempest. Yes, it's temp, but 10 of 15 seconds iirc, but that's significant enough imho. Honestly all I was trying to do was provide Magnus some context given he was under impression that all good TWF builds run Tempest, the goods and bads, etc. Nothing...

I was thinking TWF w strikethrough and TWF w.o strikethrough. Wasn't trying to say anything about THF or any of that. For TWF, Strikethrough is helpful, but situationally. You can work a build around those situations if you have other focuses that are more important to what you are trying to...

DL hits harder in my experience and by a decent margin. But it really comes down to how you value Strikethrough as AOE for your build and the situations you find your toon in. You may miss Strikethrough in certain situations where there's lots of trash or you are playing in a smaller group...

I have played a variety of DL builds (to 20, 18/1/1, 5 or 6 w/ multiclass, etc). I think Stratiotis' numbers are good goals and that's what I generally work toward as well. To help on your way there, I would suggest following adjustments: 1) Bastard swords are subpar on a TWF build in my...

If you are looking to Ranger past lives, I think the best breaks for Ranger are 9 (evasion) or 11 (free improved precise shot), because you need most class levels in Ranger to qualify for that past life. 15 also works for the extra Favored Enemy, but I don't think that's worth it on a repeater...

Warlock is for the proc off the aura and how it interacts with the Arcane Warrior feat. I think this thread (https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/looking-for-a-build-12-druid-base.379/) has a good explanation of the various trade-offs around how many Druid levels you want vs. other options...

Played a couple different versions of DA melee and would suggest you go at least 14 levels of DA. That gives core 4 for extra imbue dice, concealment benefits and vs what you posted both the lvl 9 and lvl 14 domain benefits. Lvl14 in War Domain is especially nice so you take Holy Sword which...

Here's a couple of other builds that I think would give you some insight into tank building as well. I tried to find the latest Updates I could on the old forums. There's a lot of good thinking to find in these as they lay out their builds -- or I found it useful at least. Paladin...

Barbarian builds are pretty straightforward feat-wise and the main decision is which fighting style to use. I would suggest THF. It's easy, does good damage and has AoE built in. You can do either SWF or TWF though too. Heroic: Two-Handed Fighting, Power Attack, Imp THF, Imp Crit: <weapon...

Thanks. Haven't played Pally in awhile and definitely forgot a few things. FvS for example isn't needed either unless you want a WIS trance or Magical Training vs. a CHA trance -- not much reason for FvS lvls now that I look at it unless you want FvS for Haste (T2 enh). My apologies. Pally...

Forgot to say... Drow will be Vulkoor which would be shortsword for your favored weapon. Elf/half-Elf for Scimitars. You can get any favored weapon you want once you hit epics through the Divine Crusader tree. Pally T4 does give Knight's Training, but I don't think that makes the knight...

Would go w/ tempest as part of your build per above. My suggestion would be Pal14/DH5 or Rgr5/FvS1. This gives you all the tempest you want, plus Pally for Holy Sword/extra crit and FvS for your trance. DH would be if you want trapping skills. Personally would go with STR base, but you could...
