A Warforged 20 Artificer, as the DDO gods intended
A Warforged 20 Artificer, as the DDO gods intended
I wanted to take a moment to share with you all a build that I've been fine-tuning since U66 dropped. First and foremost, I want to thank my guildies Sardonic and Knifepalm of the Lava Divers for their invaluable insights and discussions on gearing.
Now, let's delve into it. This Artificer build isn't intended to be META. Instead, it's crafted with the intent to capture the essence of the Artificer class, which to me is utilizing the Rune Arm and Heavy Repeating Crossbow; oh, and Warforged is a must. However, damage output not being the primary goal does not mean this build lacks damage. On the contrary, the build holds its own in high skull content and raiding. Considering all the changes made with U66, repeating crossbow users didn't fare as poorly as some other ranged builds did.
With the introduction of AOE ranged attacks, namely Thunder-Shock Weapon and Shatter Defenses for Artificer, these changes will carry this build throughout heroic leveling content. Additionally, Hunt's End and The Pluck of a String provided a much needed bump throughout epic and legendary content. Throw in Rune Arm use for added damage (mainly flavor) and Endless Fusillade, and you're well on your way to being a true Artificer.
