Checking out if Druid can squeeze out some nice number

Lv6 Human Druid 20 Wis
Feats - Powerful Charge, Enraged Boar, Ferocious Tiger, Versatile Expertise, Mounts
Items - Earthfall Totem +2, Vanguard QuarterStaff, Claw Gloves, Shard of Mage, Boar
Power - Savage Rend

Savage Rend
+15 Attack - (5 Wis, 3 Level, 2 Enhancement, 2 CA, 1 Charge, 1 Enraged Boar, 1 Expertise) vs 18 Reflex 90% Accuracy
1d8 + 1d8 + 1d10 + 1d6 +14 Damage - (5 Wis, 2 Enhancement, 2 Charge, 2 Boar, 2 Tiger, 1 Mage Shard) 18-46 [32] || 48-58 [53] Crit

32 * 0.85 = 27.2 |+| 53 * 0.05 = 2.65 == 29.85

29.85 + 8.2 = 38.05

Not exactly the most impressive of numbers, but seeing a controllor doing it tho... (also he will be a beast mounted on a beast <3)

38 DPR (CA, Ch, Mount) Human Druid Beast Charger (6th), by Talamare



No Class, No Race, Basic Charger - 20 STR, 15 DEX (I guess you need to use a race that gives +STR...)
Background - Gritty Sergeant Rapier
Feats - LBE, Nimble Blade, Powerful Charge, Mount
Items - Vanguard Rapier, Bracers of Might, Horned Helm, Boar

Melee Basic Attack
16 Attack (5 STR, 3 Level, 3 Prof, 1 Enh, 1 LBE, 1 NB, 2 CA) 85% Accuracy
1d8 + 1d8 + 1d6 + 11 (5 STR, 2 Bracers, 2 Charge, 1 Enh, 1 LBE) 14-33 [23.5] || 34-41 [37.5] Crit

23.5 * 0.8 = 18.8 |+| 37.5 * 0.05 = 1.875 = 20.675

20.675 + 8.2 = 28.87

29 DPR for not even caring what Class you are is a bit sad, I saw a level 30 No Class build that managed around 300 DPR which is also a bit sad

This should be a pretty clean version - and after the grabbing attack it even generates its own CA !
Mark of Finding makes sure that even if the mob succeeeds with the escape (not too likely) and shifts, we still can stay adjacent, so we still get our Riposte.

you let your boar attack first, and with it's 50% hit rate, you get 2.5 out of Headman's Crop
DPR (Ch): (0.8*32)+(0.05*56) + 8.2 = 36.6[/sblock]
now, boar knocking prone also means all builds with it get CA 50% of the time, but since everybody forgot about it, I left it out.

The Premise

The Bard PP Voice of Thunder has an absurdly powerful level 11 encounter power, Rolling Echo.


Hit: 2d6 + Charisma modifier thunder damage, and you push the target 1 square. Before you take any actions during your next turn, you can repeat the attack as a free action.


Since the repeat rider is on the Hit: line, this means that regardless of whether you think "repeat the attack" means "attack power" or "attack from this power", it will trigger again on your next turn when you hit with it, meaning you get a massive free action, ally-friendly attack power every round as long as there are still enemies around to nuke with it.


The Pieces


Honestly, the only key piece here is Rolling Echo. From there, it's a short matter of taking a Sorcerer and stapling as much thunder damage support to them as humanly possible, and it turns out that's quite a bit.


The Product


Just doing a quick proof of concept here, but I'm pretty sure it's close to maximum on damage for its level. We are a pixie, which gives us two big benefits. First, it lets us ride our elemental companion the Storm Talon everywhere, and second, it means we get the cheapest +item bonus to damage item in the game.


On round 1, we use Pixie Dust as a move action and command our elemental companion to fly, flying up to 11 squares to approach. We then use Rolling Echo as a standard action, grouping as many enemies as possible. If we have an action point available, we follow up with Explosive Pyre, and hopefully everything dies from that. If not, we end our turn.


Every turn after this, we start by using Rolling Echo as a close burst 3 originating anywhere within 2 squares of us, group up all the enemies we can, and follow up with another standard action thunder attack. On the off chance we run out of AoEs in some extremely large battle, start charging with Ensorcelled Blade. It's all pretty easy.

DPR Kings Breakdown (Level 12, 1.41 KPR)


First off, let me note that I in no way agree with the system the DPR kings thread uses to rate AoE attacks, as it's severely overvalued. But hey, it's their choice.


Rolling Thunder is a 7x7 friendly attack, which according to their arbitrary chart has a multiplier value of 3.8124. However, it's also a 3x3 friendly attack at a bonus, so we need to break it into two chunks to evaluate.


Rolling Echo (3x3): LVL+7 vs. NAD, 2d6+30=37 (hit), 42+3d6=52.5 (crit). 2.178(.75(37)+.05(52.5))=66.15675


Rolling Echo (7x7-3x3):LVL+5 vs. NAD, 2d6+30=37 (hit), 42+3d6=52.5 (crit). (3.8124-2.178)(.65(37)+.05(52.5))=43.59762


Rolling Echo total per round: 66.16+43.60= 109.8 damage.


After repeating this process a bunch of times for all my other encounter powers and then Charging with Ensorcelled Blade once they run out, we reach our round-by-round DPR:

Got around to a lvl 12 version. Thief variant still beats out rogue version (by about 0.4 DPR).
Some assumptions:
-Your target is only adjacent to you.
-At 100g a pop and a minor action, you can afford to apply a Frozen Whetstone to the Bloodiron Dagger every combat at the start.
-Assuming frost vulnerability from the start is the norm here, so I went ahead and did the same. If you miss your target or attack a new one, subtract 4.75 from the expected damage. I should note that is a much more accurate real world value, since you will rarely need to attack the same monster more than once.
-I went ahead and rolled the bonus crit damage from Bloodiron into the base crit math (6d10 once instead of two iterations of 3d10). Same result, unless the bonus crit damage on the next turn still counts as having the cold keyword (since the original attack does). I don't believe it does, but if anyone knows otherwise I will adjust the math.
-The random +1.8 on the Riposte Strike crit math is from Acrobat's Trick (2*0.9).
-For clarity, the attack sequence is Riposte Strike (crit > Free MBA) [ hit > Riposte Interrupt/OA (crit > Free MBA)].

Hello I have a new version of my old build (last one had a lot of holes in it).
Here are the things this build assumes that it's fay beast companion is always adjacent to the target, lasting frost applies to first hit and that it can charge each turn so here is the build i call him zeus (yes someone did just make a thor).

now for the griffons claw attacks
bonus to hit
12 + 2 from combat advantage = 14 vs AC will hit on 12 but miss on 11 so 11 times .05 = .55 which means .4 chance to hit normally and .05 chance to crit
damage 2d6+10 plus 2 from fey beasts aura = 2d6+12
damage calculations 2d6+12 average damage 19 X .4 = 7.6 crit damage 24 X .05 = 1.2 DPR = 8.8 the griffon makes this attack twice so 17.6


Final calculations melee basic attack 44.025 + dual weapon attack 38.54 + griffons two claw attacks 17.6 = 100.165 DPR or .83 KPR
hope your still with me and if you see any problems with this build just let me now thanks.

Set up is to move young owlbear next to group of enemies to provide combat advantage. Then bombard with Rapid Shot Grappling Spirits RBA's with the thrown magic warhammer (able to throw with First Hunter feature). Any enemy hit gets slowed by the RBA's triggering Crippling Crush bonus. Adept Dilettante lets Thor use his Constitution modifier to determine bonuses to attack and damage rolls. Invigorating Stride can heal owlbear and Thor via Second Wind in a pinch as a shift 2 encounter move action.

Here is an updated version of Arrow (current level 12 DPR King). Please remember that the DPR and Nova are on a ranged character! It's very rare to see any ranged classes come close to their higher power melee cousins so I am proud that at this level it's possible to compete in the elite DPR ranks as an archer. =)

Big Props to LDB as his builds always inspire me and I just look for minor improvements to make on top.

Ok, BIG couple of questions here regarding the Arrow build:
1) Why got Huntmaster if you are using a Greatbow? Huntmaster is all around a Great Spear
2) How are you getting Called Shot for the Level 11 added Feat and Silvery Glow, neither show up in CB for me.

Thanks!
