Stars Completionist Tanky Healer

Posting here mostly for ease of reading while leveling. Also please note that this does not include any Mythic/reaper bonuses on gear, the metamagics are not turned on, and there have been no reaper points spent. I see no need to inflate my numbers with those bonuses as it is the build and non-random parts of the gear that matter the most to me and are what I feel should change between builds, not whether I remember to turn on maximize or not.

It's a solid defensive build that 'can' solo r6s but is generally a slog. I have saved R10 runs with it before but that's more a touch-and-go type thing than anything you really want to do with it. as usual, the builder seems to be missing a few DCs and spellpowers from what I end up with on live.

I have a swap dino cloak to go between pos and cold spell crit damage. and a caster dps stick and healing stick to change out if I'm pretending to DPS or healing a raid. I need to get a second minor artifact so that I can swap them based on healing or doing DPS

Edit: Updated the build to incorporate a couple feat swaps and a tiny bit of gear swapping based on feedback some people have given me. The filigree are wrong for the weapon I'm thinking of, but I cant update ddo on hotspot for some reason so I cant hop in and actually look at what I have in my healing stick.

What is the goal of this build? The title of the post seems misleading after reading some of the stats and gear choices. It seems more of a hybrid between a nuker and a spot/back-up healer.

Seems like it would do fine in lower reapers and LH raids - should just clarify the intended purpose.

At the top of the post, I explicitly said what it did and how it performed. Its a tanky healer that has a little spell dps. I keep looking for a better gear set but anything that boosts my spellpower/DCs also ends up lowering my defenses more than I'm happy with. (Myth looks to possibly be exactly what I'm looking for, so I'm looking forward to that)

Seems like it would do fine in lower reapers and LH raids - should just clarify the intended purpose.
It can solo R6 though that tends to be a bit of a slog. I have saved R10 runs by being extra flighty and surviving until either the last couple of mobs die to my not amazing DPS or someone else can be resed.

It can also easily heal any raid in the game, not even remotely limited to just LH. With this build, I normally am the last one alive if I didn't try and pretend to tank with a knights challenge after the actual tank went down.

The poster of this build was able to heal in an R6 Killing Time raid. This build is very durable and was able to heal the entire group.

This build has stats comparable to my first life 17 fvs 3 ftr healer. Seems like it tries to do way too much and doesnt do much of anything really well.

With 0 lives, 0 rxp, 0 tomes, 0 raid gear, I hit 710 pos sp, 55% crit chance, 85% crit dmg, 3.4k hp, 3.5k sp, 190 prr, and 130 mrr.

For some reason you went cold druid instead of fire druid on a healer? And just suboptimal gearing if youre gonna use raid items.

No idea what a 59 DC is gonna do in high reap too. Seems fishy.

and less than 2k hp?? tanky?? Id think tanky would be 4k hp 300 prr 200 mrr as a baseline.

Needs some work.

I know what you posted. Respectfully, the stats and gear above reflect nothing of a "tanky healer", especially one that is on a completionist character.

I'm hoping at the very least that the stats above are outside of reaper, but regardless, 1900 hps 189 prr and 167 mrr is not tanky. Having below 800 positive spell power with 29% crit chance and 30% multi is not good for healing stats - for comparsion, my level 10 fire sorc has 35% crit chance. All of your gear, filigrees and feat selections are geared towards a nuker setup.

TL;DR - the title of the build is misleading because everything you're showing is not indicative of a tanky healer, especially on a completionist toon.

tbh its impressive a completionist build that is worse than the average Kalibano 1st lifer didnt expect to witness that like ever
 

Hobgoblin

Less Nerfy Nerfy more fixy fixy
a guildie did a bard tank/off tank that worked out well. it had more of everything then this.

another guild is a fvs and sits outside of reaper and 3.3k hp

my alch in leather armor is close to that prr and is 8th life

maybe player is very good and can pull off r6 kt.

skill is all imo


but stat wise? this build is not good

wow, such hate for something I posted for ease of looking at the feats while leveling.

Glad your having fun poking fun at the stats being shown in the new builder. The numbers don't seem to be accurate compared to what I see on live.

Thanks for all the constructive criticism and not just being forum trolls

If your in game stats are different, then I'd suggest sharing screenshots/updated stats here instead as the stats above are misleading.

If you want suggestions on how to improve the build to be more tanky and have better healing stats, I'd be willing to help you, but fair warning 95% of the build choices are going to change. All depends on your end goal as I said in my first post.
