Quick update for anyone considering this build, getting your weapon swap for enhanced bloodrage seems like a chore, but is absolutely worth it. I have my Goldcursed bound to Q and my swap to Alt+Q, just swap once it procs or needs to proc, super ez, extra damage for almost no work.
It is as long as you can built in Raptor neck or Goggles of the Berserker in your gearset. I assume you talking about the non-raid gearset minimalistic/HV version...
The major version of my build doesnt need item swaps at all (or very few and 95% is at buffing/clickies)

Just a honarble note here...

I skinned one more layer of this build :LOL:

I have a secondary alt, who was 2wf originally but havent found a build for him yet so I TR-ed him into a V. ROBOT but made a twist.
This toon got some PLs but nothing special. 85 Enhancement points, 75 Destiny points and 103 RP.
The twist is: Tiefling
I always wanted to try that no fail trip (Ferocious Rebuke) and the blinding racial mist (Lasting Darkness).

I can say it works more than I expected and having big time fun with this variant.

Another reason that I love even more this build is it's look:

I'm playing this build or at least a very close variant and i'm loving it.
I'm soloing everything on r4 as I'm epic lvling , and I was doing r8-r10 with my group really good, doing r10 with 3 players and was not that hard.
450 AC and 300 Melee power, almost 5k HP with full build! This is insanely good!

You can take the warlock level on any feat empty level or you can skip it too.
You dont really need the warlock aura till cap.
At 1st level always take arti for more skill points.
If you use an iconic race, yes you will need a +1 heart.

Hey quick question: how the arcane spell failure is mitigated?

Thanks!
If you ICE build u have to get Fluidity in the Machrotechnic tree (Tier 2). If you WF/BF you dont need to get anything at lvl 20 (prolly a bug)
Some race has got ASF reduction in the racial tree and also augment can be used in heroics.

Ok fluidity should be a quick solve for Adamantine Body 35%
You are not T5 RM, no points in fluidity, core BE…
But you are telling me it’s a bug :D

Fun fact

I have added the origin story of the Vistani R.O.B.O.T. to my build guide (under the picture). We already knew that my father was LoB. But who could my mother have been? We now get the answer to this question in the description below:

"In the twilight years after the Last War, when the Warforged sought new meaning beyond endless battle, a vision was born.

The Lords of Blades, master of the forge and blade, sought to create a perfect being: a warrior, a builder, a force capable of shaping destiny itself. Yet even steel and magic could not complete the task alone.

It was then that the Traveler — shapeshifter, trickster, and patron of change — answered the unspoken call.

"Forge the body, and I shall forge the spirit," the Traveler whispered, weaving chaos, creativity, and will into the heart of the creation.

Thus emerged the Vistani R.O.B.O.T.:

Part machine, yet deeply alive;

Part warrior, yet ever a wanderer;

Built for battle, yet yearning for purpose beyond war.


Gifted with a spark of magic and the restless soul of the Vistani wanderers, the R.O.B.O.T. carries the legacy of two creators: the relentless strength of the Blade Lords and the boundless curiosity of the Traveler.

Some say it is a weapon.
Some say it is an anomaly.
Only one truth remains: it is always moving forward."
