Greetings DDO Community. I need your help on my reincarnation journey through DDO. I wish to experience every aspect this game has to offer (instead of the usual TR treadmill that most people seem to utilize). This means I want to try every playstyle and learn every feature. I need your advice on builds to fit the many, many lives I will be undertaking.
**** The Rules ****
These are the rules that I'm choosing to follow for this project, and I would ask that they apply to any advice given in this thread.
I'm not looking for the best builds or the FOTM build. I just want something that will give me a good experience of the class/race/playstyle and that can decently handle at least Reaper 1. I'm an experienced player from back in the day and know a lot of the quests up to the first expansion. I just need some up-to-date builds as things have changed since I was last here. (And I'm curious if there are enough unique builds to fit into the various slots for a full tour of DDO, like a build puzzle.)
**** The Rules ****
These are the rules that I'm choosing to follow for this project, and I would ask that they apply to any advice given in this thread.
- Each of the three lives for each class will take abilites on the top row of a different class enhancement tree (and thus the build could be thought of as being a build for that enhancement). Exception: Sorcerer will take Eldritch Knight and two Savants.
- At least one of the lives for each archetype will take abilites on the top row of their unique enhancement tree.
- The first life of each class will start at 1st level (non-iconic) to allow me to get used to playing the class.
- At least one of the lives for each iconic will be for the class past life feat of the class the iconic starts as. (The other two iconic lives can have as little as one level of the class.)
- At least one of the lives for each race will take abilities on the top row of its racial enhancement tree.
- At least one life per tree will take abilites on the top row of Arcane Archer and each of the universal enhancement trees. (I believe this restricts them to race lives.)
- Out of the 105 class and race lives, 18 will be iconic and at least 54 will continue past level 20 to epic reincarnate at level 30+. (I will always TR or RR after an ER.) This leaves up to 33 lives that do not need to play past level 20 (unless I want to).
- At least one life for each epic destiny will take abilities on the top row of that destiny.
- Assume I have access to all expansions, adventure packs, classes, races, iconics, enhancement trees, and epic destinies.
- Assume I will never buy a stone of experience and will farm tokens/heart seeds for reincarnation materials.
- Assume I can craft any bound shard with Cannith Crafting. (Currently only level 170 or so but will increase as I go.)
- Assume I have mule characters to store BtA and unbound items.
- Assume I intent to run Reaper 1+ solo while leveling if the build can handle it.
