Sacred Disciple

Hello, DDO!

If you have a +1 and +20 Lesser Reincarnation, Alignment Change Tome, and a Reincarnation Timer Bypass, this builds for you!

If not, no worries. Sub in Drow, Tabaxi, or even Tiefling as these races have some synergies with the build. I experiment with builds and needed both Razerclaw Iconic and Dragon Disciple past lives. I don't recommend this as a first life build, Dexterity is needed for Two-handed Fighting and Wisdom for Ki. This is shown as a 36 point build and +8 Supreme Tome.

Several asked about the build during play, so here it is:

This build focuses on handwraps and charisma to hit and damage. 6 levels of Sacred Fist are needed to get Divine Dream (as well as Handwraps as Favored Weapon) to use Charisma for hit and damage. You also get the awesome Whirling Attacks in the Sacred Fist Enhancement tree! Companion these with Quick Cutter from the Fury of the Wild Epic Destiny and you have non-stop cleave action. 14 levels of Dragon Disciple focusing on Shintao Enhancement Tree. This build is fast moving for best advantage to damage and not get hit. Tumbling as needed for position and defense. Most destiny points go into Grand Master of Flowers for defense and enhancements to strikes. Select gear to get high PRR (I used Saltmarsh and Barovia Gear). Get higher MRR if possible. I used Jeweled Cloak and Two-Head Platinum Piece to stop spells as my MRR was a bit low. I used the Claws of the Balor handwraps at endgame. This build could solo reaper 4, and ran reaper 8 no problem with a solid team using Healing Hands during combat to help heal melee. Dodge, double strike, and offhanded strike are high. Saves are high, no fail on 1. Ki is low until epic.

Running the build as a Tabaxi is better. Cat scratch works well as a mini cleave. Movement/Attack speeds were maxed, I made minor adjustments to gear due to capped speeds. Some question handwraps and Patience feat together. The Whirlwind/QuickCutter attacks are very fast and I don't notice slowdown using Patience, three constant fast cleave attacks. Patience does slow normal attacks and would not work well with handwraps not using Whirlwind/QuickCutter. Solo R4, R8-R10 no problem with group. This build saved several party wipes at high reaper. High dodge, PRR, reflex, no fails on 1, etc.

It was common Fury of Wild Quick Cutter would one shot mobs. With the running speed, spring attack, quick cutter often I'd get very far ahead of party almost soloing, appearing to zerg even though not (I slowed down a couple times after getting the naughty-naughty zerger talks). Fun build all around.
