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.

Hello, Arkzan. Thank you for the query. I looked this over. I think this build can be done as a 2nd life, 34pt build. There are some adjustments needed. It assumes at least a +2 tome of Dex. The Lvl 4 ability score must shift to Dex from Char. This allows all the two weapon fighting feats. Additionally, with a 34pt build reduce Char by 1 and move extra point where you like. Finding an extra Fate point (tome maybe) would be helpful as well to allow taking shadowstriker to get immunity to neg lvls as well as extra double strike. Here is what I think it would look like as a Tabaxi.

Welcome Arkzan. I had a lot of fun playing this build. Please reply when wrapping up your 2nd life with your feedback and recommendations. I'd like to know what you think. Take care and have fun!

Okay! I'll make sure to give you a feedback after playing in second life with this build, I was going to do a TR now, but as some expansions were on sale now I got the trove and vecna mini exp and decided to go up to 5k favor at least first, I have 3.1k now, I hope to get it soon to play with this build, this build seems to be really fun and cool.

Why Dragon Disciple over regular monk? Do you use any of the actual Dragon Disciple tree or abilities? Just to get the past life?

Hello, Kodewraith. As the post says, a Dragon Disciple past life was needed. It's an easy sub for monk/shintao enhancements. The passive abilities play a big part of the build as well as boosting handwrap effectiveness. Quickstrike and healing hands were the active abilities used. Try subbing in monk and share your experience.
 
I like the look of this, I may give this a spin after I do my three barbarian lives (that extra 30 hp helps so much in the beginning).

Loving the build so far! Thanks for the second life build adaptation @ScrappyLyon, i've made some purchases in this market sales and now my Monk is meditating in Myth Dranor 😅🙂

Sorry but i gotta throw some cold reality water on this build idea

Unless I'm missing something, it's a martial build without any crit bonuses or a trance. Those are both huge chunks of power you're leaving on the table... Especially if you're going to burn two hearts converting a razor claw! And doubly especially on a twf build since they get no other source of +stat to dmg besides a trance.

You should fold in /1 fvs for the Cha trance since neither DD or SF has that available. And you could either find 21 ap to shift to VKF and go dual daggers, or more likely switch your T5 to Shintao for the crit bonus, self rez and 5 dodge cap. I don't like T5 sacred fist much anyway, just take dodge mob wwa feats. Also not putting 6 in sac def for the 25 prr seems like a waste too

Hello, Droid. I'm guessing you didn't read the post well. However, your recommendations are intriguing. Perhaps you might post your suggestions. VKF is a very different build and I have a post for similar called 'Sacred Dancer' that was equally fun to play. Ignoring the absurd use of 'hearts' the build plays quite well with any of the other suggested races. I think tabaxi is the best for it (definitely better than Razerclaw); though almost too fast to play at times lol. I have lots of past lives, was getting 20k - 40k crits consistently. The quick attacks, double hit, cleaves (plus double strike & offhand) more than make up for any described deficiencies. Give it a try (not razerclaw lol) and let us know any improvement you might suggest. Have fun.

I'm glad you're having fun with the build. It was just as fun with my low lifer as with my main toon. Tabaxi was so fast. I even adjusted my gear as speed was beyond maxed out. Have fun!
