Winter Wolf Lord Build

New member
This is my first build posting and I would appreciate any feedback. I saw good synergies between Winter Wolf and Dragon Lord so giving it a try. Sorta combines Strimtom’s wolf chains and critzilla builds for good AOE, CC, and speed. I'm only at level 18 but has been really fun to play so far so I wanted to share. Great for leveling, not sure about endgame yet. I will update when I'm done.

I chose Shadar Kai for the chains and went 10/9/1 DL, Druid, Rogue. I’m using a dagger but also considered handaxe or sickle (using plowshares). I prioritized STR, CON with some Wis and Dex (enough to get doge, mobility and WWA). The main reason for the 9 druid was to get cold breath and animal growth spells. I also needed a fighter past life so I wanted more fighter than druid.

Here are the feats I took:

1 Power Attack
3 Quicken
6 Natural Fighting
9 Natural Fighting
11 Improved Critical
12 Natural Fighting
14 Dodge
15 Maximize (Mostly took for coldbreath but I don’t think I’d recommend)
16 Mobility
18 Whirl Wind Attack (WWA)

Here are some highlights of the build
Helpless damage:
  • 15% from Prey on the Weak
  • 20% from Dragons Roar (20s)
Crowd Control (most cause helplessness):
  • Takedown/trip
  • Baiting bit bluffs target
  • Dragons roar dazes or cowers enemies
  • Ghost Pack confuses
  • Salt Ray spell stuns
  • Harrowing pack spell give knockdown on roll of 20
Defensive:
  • 20% Dodge from Flight (30s ignores cap)
  • 35% incorporeal from ghost wolf pack (10s)
  • +4 con from animal growth spell
AOE:
  • SK chains attack (2x if you go high enough in tree)
  • Ghost wolf pack
  • Cold breath (only has 2s cool down)
  • Whirl Wind Attack
Movement:
  • Winter wolf form gives extra run speed
  • Flight of kings
  • Lead the charge
Damage:
  • 20% attack speed from wolf form
  • 25% attack speed from Fatal Harrier
  • 30% attack speed from action boost haste
  • 2x critical multiplier (DL conqueror)
  • STR battle trance
  • 20% double strike from Rapid Slash
  • Sneak attack damage from wolf tree
  • +4 STR from animal growth spell

For epics I’m thinking of using Quick Cutter and Primal Mantle but also might go dreadnaught. Not sure yet.

I just learned how to make videos and use youtube. Here is my first attempt to share more of the details of my build with a short demonstration of how it performed in R1.

I love WWA with wolf form, very fun. The rapid slash en pointe style attack is rad, didn't know wolf could use. I hate the AP costs for wolf tree, feels like I lose out on a bunch of stuff, maybe dragon lord threads the AP needle.
