There's been some talk of bring back the Lava Divers 1st lifer challenge https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/lava-divers-presents-first-life-raid-push-challenge.10267/ And with upcoming Fey hardcore style event, it seemed like good time to post a couple 1st lifer builds. Both builds work off the concept that you take a +2 DEX tome when you hit 1750 favor so they'll have enough DEX for Improved Precise Shot. If you never use IPS, then you can save yourself that effort (if you hit the level where the build takes IPS and you don't have the favor yet, just take any feat and then later use Fred whenever you get the dex tome to take it).
I leveled the 1st build recently and it worked out nicely. Haven't leveled the 2nd build yet, may do that for the Fey Event.
This first build is a 20 arti utility bubble build with a bit of pew pew on the side. It does less damage than a pure DPS build but it'll hold it's own while helping keep teammates alive between rad forcefields, heal pots, and using converter on someone to allow repairing them. This build doesn't require racial AP nor univeral AP tomes; if you have them, then you can spend those extra points towards whatever you like.
