Bubble utility arti build - r10 push raid capable

[rabidfox]

Here's the u69 level 34 cap feat setup I'm currently using. Still fine tuning destiny stuff, but still in shiradi, fatesinger, and shadowdancer (just working out the best point spread still).

Just curious, any reason for using Trailblazer instead of Regular Tabaxi? I am more than willing to burn a +1 heart to start at level 15, just curious if there was some racial ability that makes it better that I'm not seeing... just for spring attack?

Trailblazer gets "Springing Pounce: You gain the Spring Attack feat. When you use it while holding a Quarterstaff, you gain Feline Agility..." This gives the build a leap and a way to trigger fast run speeds on demand (swap to staff, spring attack, swap back to xbow). It's a big mobility gain which I find really matters to me. Regular Tabaxi doesn't get this. If that's not something you care about then you can save the +1 heart and go regular; but if you can get down the swap/spring attack/swap usage then it can be a nice thing to have.

Thanks!, Had just noticed Spring Attack after I posted.
Weapon swapping always seems to take forever for me, but might be worth a try.

Do you think there is any worth in using gnome instead of TTB?

Could muddle in spring attack line to keep that mobility, gnomies have much higher attack & damage with light repeaters, more dodge & dodge cap, additional CC, and can enjoy critical threat range without needing t5 BE.

If you want more damage, sure. There's lot of ways to go more damage like https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/epicsouls-cyborg-build.10077/ too or 12 arti/other stuff splits. On r10 raids, like Skeles, there's a lot of arrows flying around and they'll one shot a person so the deflect arrows in Tabaxi was a big deal; but for other content, other races could be solid choices. But any other race will have reduced mobility as this build has no sprint boost outside being Tabaxi.

Nice insight ty.

I guess if I were building similar I might swap PA for GMoF to pick up deflect, mantle swap for movespeed, etc.

Did you find the non-upgraded fire strike & spell from PA crucial in the pushes you used this build on?

I haven't been in primal for ages. That was just a few spare points that allowed for some off-healing in that tree, it was neither here nor there for needing it; but there were times where it came in clutch for a fast spare heal. My EDs have changed around a bunch; they get customized for different raid pushes based off what's ideal for that specific raid. The only thing that hasn't changed for me in that past 1.5 years is my race and heroic AP spread (well, it might have changed slightly here or there). And my feats went thru a few small shifts with the recent level increase.

My generic ED setup is shiradi, SD, and fatesinger for general usage:
