Since KAM is nerfed, here's a Thief build using Paragon Multiclassing (into Ranger) to get the second attack and thus get DPR back to acceptablility.

Edit: Thanks Fardiz for the Span code; and KeithRic for the clarification on PMC and feats

Comments:
Combat Advantage comes from move actions
Move Action: Tell bugbear (free action) to stand next to target then tactical trick. Plenty of other ways to do it via allies (tactical trick) or ambush trick, unbalancing trick or flank
Minor Action: Apply Whetstone to Thundergod Weapon
Standard Action: Charge
Free Action: Dual Weapon Attack on hit
Free Action: On Crit, use free swing from Two Weapon Opening
Free Action: Use Boots of Adept Charging at end of turn to shift 1 away in order to use a trick/shift on next turn to re-Charge
Notes:
Can also Shift 2 with Unbalancing trick or from distance, once prone, can use Sneak Attack on the DWA attack and still maintain DPR
Can also gain combat advantage through Ferret Out Fraility as a minor (add to build in place of swift parry)
Can use Backstabs(+3 Atk w/CA; +3d6 damange) to add to hit/damange rolls
Replaced Riposte Strike Human bonus At-Will with PMC DWA.
Stone of Earth is great for this build. Too bad it's rare now.
I guess much like KAM, I really don't have to use the feat, just possess the feat.


This is a glass cannon. Playability wise, I'd do Imporoved defenses and Two weapon defense, But where...

This is probably run of the mill, but thought I'd post it since I didn't see any paragon scouts. I also thought it was humorous to do it with a razorclaw, the purple race in the scout handbook. And it's LFR legal to boot (no duplicate items, no reliance on whetstones, no Mark of X feats)

A few fairly typical assumptions, shifting with blood fury weapon, CA with feybeast, charge. And I don't particularly like to assume first attack benefits from lasting frost, but most other builds were doing it, and for the sake of fair comparison, I made the assumption.

This build is based on the (perhaps loose) premise that when someone attacks with Twin Strike with a Radiant and a Frost weapon that the power gains both keywords and hence triggers both Frost and Radiant vulnerabilities for the next turn.

It is a partial rip-off of LDB's Stormwarden so apologies for the plagiarism.

I thought I might throw up an alternate level 16 Hellish Rebuke Warlock. This build is similar to Landsknecht73's build, but uses Revenant Teifling and doesn't require Prime Shot for the damage. The equipment is based on gp value of level +1, level, level -1 items. If it were treasure parcel based, it is likely that the defenses wouldn't tank so badly.

Okay, here's the new DPR King of Level 24, for comments and approval:


Start at or below 0 hit points. [Using soulfang to assure this]

From Superior Will, make save vs. daze with +9. [background+2, focused mind +4, horreb cube +2, theme +1]

To Hit: +34 v. Ref (vs 36) = 95% chance to hit; 10% chance of crit.

Avg Regular Damage 54 Avg Crit Damage: 76

Standard: Miss with Avalanche of Fury (+22 - 98% chance). Triggers Star Favored Champion feature, letting me basic attack as a minor. Avalanche of Fury is both reliable and comes back if you miss the second attack roll.

Move: Divine Bolts

Minor: Divine Bolts

Move (Ghostly Vitality): Divine Bolts

Here's my attempt at Warlock charger build. He's a Warforged Warden|Warlock/Fighter who gets 89.725 at-will DPR at 24th level without multiattacks of any kind. His Eldritch Strike charge attack pushes 1, slides 1, lowers AC by 1, slows, and grants CA and cold vulnerability. Basically, I stacked up all the usual Warforged charger bits plus frostcheese, Crippling Crush, and Draconic Arrogance.

My DPR calculations assume that WarWarWarFight is under the effects of Longtooth Shifting and has hit with Eldritch Strike the previous round. He can charge every round by Ethereal Sidestepping two squares back and then charging back in (unless he's immobilized, of course, but he has ways of dealing with that). He can activate Longtooth Shifting even when he's not bloodied by using his Blood Fury weapon.


DPR calculations
Against a target that he's hit the previous round with Eldritch Strike, his charge is at +33 against AC 37 (thanks to the White Lotus Enervation AC penalty), hitting on a 4, doing 2d10 brutal 2 + 3d8 + 6d6 + 51 on a normal hit (average 96.5), or 5d12 + 141 on a crit (average 173.5).
Expected value DPR is thus (.75 * 96.5) + (.10 * 173.5) = 89.725.

Against a fresh target, his charge is at +31 against AC 38, hitting on a 7, doing an average of 91.5 on a normal hit or 168.5 on a crit.
Expected value DPR is thus (.60 * 91.5) + (.10 * 168.5) = 71.75.


Note that this isn't really a practical build. In a real game, I would put more of his feats into improving defenses and control rather than raw DPR. In particular, I would probably retrain Crippling Crush into Overwhelming Impact to give him an at-will daze. And drop the frostcheese for some defensive feats.

EDIT: Minor corrections. Also, recent errata means this build uses 3 rare items (Ring of Free Time, Dice of Auspicious Fortune, and Stone of Spirit). 3 rares in Epic is considered acceptable, but none of them are really necessary anyway. Switch Many-Fingered Gloves+Ring of Free Time for Breaching Gauntlets, if desired (helps with Resist All; not many good options...)

I've seen a bunch of dragonbreath spamming builds lately, so after a while I started to look into it in full detail. Combined it with some ideas from the Blender and some tactics, and it got pretty fun...

Tactics

Before the encounter, make sure you are at nonpositive HP and have your spirit companion conjured. Also, spend 4 healing surges right after ending an extended rest, so that each battle starts with at least 27 THP from the Eager Hero's Tattoo.

First round: Use Doom of Chaos (choose fire), then spam Dragon Breath (you will have 6 minors: 5 from revenant cheese + 1 from the Ring of Free Time).
Subsequent rounds: Use Dragon Breath 6 times (5 minors + 1 standard).

Dragon Breath can use a square within 2 as its origin due to Arcane Reach. Also, it pushes Con mod squares when it hits due to Thundering Breath (though I'm only going to push 4), then slides 4 (Mark of Storm+Rushing Cleats+Cyclone Spirit+Controlling Advantage), and is a blast 5 due to Enlarged Dragon Breath. When it hits me, I recharge it via Ancient Soul, so I make sure to be in the blast. Diagram:

O x x x x x
x|E x x x x|
F|x S x x x|
x|F x x x x|
F|x x x x x|
x|F x x x x|

O = origin square for blast, E = enemy, S = self, F = forced movement square (path that the push/slide follows)

Each DB creates a zone (Conflagration Breath), so by using the forced movement in this way, the enemy enters the zone 4 times per hit (and takes the zone damage, which deals 20 damage due to Doom of Chaos giving vulnerable 10 fire). Also, the zones stack. Which means that, on the 6th DB of turn 2, there are 12 overlapping zones and the enemy takes damage from each one, i.e. 240 damage each time it enters, for 960 damage per hit.

CA is gained for Controlling Advantage via the Totem of the Harrier's Claws and Burning Breath. I'm not sure where the SC needs to be to trigger Cyclone Spirit (should it be adjacent to the enemy's initial square, or the square that they start sliding from?), but wherever it's ruled that the SC needs to be, that's where I put it.

Also, the first time a crit is scored (after the first round), I use Zaarani's Solitaire to do another slide and get a bunch more damage.

With Sorcerous Flux, I make sure that I always get hit by DB (I can hit myself on a 2). If a 1 is rolled against both targets, I use an AP to DB again as a free action (this is the only thing APs are saved for). I can also recover DB 2/day with the Ring of the Radiant Storm and the Salve of Power...but the APs should almost always be enough.

Dice of Auspicious Fortune are used to help ensure a miss with Doom of Chaos (anything other than a 20 will miss).

If the SC is killed, then I need to use a minor action to bring it back (the damage is completely resisted, so it doesn't matter). That hurts DPR...but it also probably means that the enemy has not actually harmed the party at all, so it works out to practically a stun. As such, the enemy is unlikely to choose this.

The enemy could move around, but the standard assumption for DPR calcs is that they do not. Also, the blast has pretty good range, so shifting is unlikely to get them far enough, and I'd just use the first DB to slide them back into position in the main zone. Worst case scenario, I throw rarity rules to the wind and buy 5 Rings of Personal Gravity (they're cheap) and use one each encounter to lock the enemy down.

Surviving

Taking all these hits will hurt. It doesn't hurt that much...each attack is 3d6+29, and I have resist 30 and insubstantial, so expected damage is 4.5. But when it's 6 attacks per turn, that adds up quickly.

First thing is the aforementioned Eager Hero's Tattoo. That soaks up all the damage from turn 1. Then there's more THP from the Ring of the Crimson Sun, giving me a good 6 more rounds of life...which is not enough. So at the end of that last round, trigger Ankhmon's Bracers on the second-to-last DB (reroll with Stone of Flame if necessary; must hit the enemy). This gives healing, which means we start at 0 when gaining the HP. Then on the last DB, I go back to negative (not too much damage though; I still have 15 resist from the armor + PP + Dragon Soul). I am dazed.

On the next round, save vs. the daze via Superior Will (+5 from Coif of Focus, +1 from background). If it fails, reroll with a +2 via Harper Pin. If that fails, use Maiden's Walking to ignore the daze this turn, then save again at the beginning of the next one.

That should be enough HP to get through 10 rounds. If not, there is also Deliverance of Faith to get a surge worth of THP (1/enc), and also Healing Spirit (1/enc) if I run into big trouble.

Can never fail a death saving throw due to the Life Charm.

Calculations

Actual calculations are all done in the DPR Kings spreadsheet (go to View -> Hidden Sheets -> Inferno; please re-hide afterward). I won't bother writing it out here to explain, but I tried to make at least the attack and damage bonuses as transparent as possible.

Calculations for the AoE were not done in depth at all because I don't think it's as interesting, and figuring out how Sorcerous Flux improves everything is complicated, and it's just generally a lot of work. So I assumed that the damage dealt to the secondary targets was 1/4 of my base damage (because they don't have the fire vulnerability, and they aren't necessarily positioned well to make the push damage them). I think if I did all the calculations it'd end up a little higher than that, but not by enough to make me care.

Simplifications for the single target damage:
1) I assume the very first DB was a hit, to cause OGD and create CA.
2) I assume the enemy always has OGD on its turn (this only fails if every single DB missed on the last turn, and the enemy successfully saved against ODB last time).
3) The damage added by the Ring of the Radiant Storm was approximated by simulating the dice rolls a million times.

There are a number of other assumptions/simplifications made, but those are all generally contained in the Tactics section already.

Single-target KPR: 14.61 (post-MS: 18.30)
AoE KPR: 19.28 (post-MS: 24.15)

I can't really see anything controversial in this build; the meat of the damage is from the fact that Conflagration Breath creates a damaging zone that was unaffected by the zone nerf, and overlapping zones each deal damage as normal, and DB can be recharged perpetually via Ancient Soul...all of that is pretty clearly established. The rest is just fluff for optimizing around that basic tactic.

Blender mk2 is no more since lighting fury is errated... So we switch to Deep Freeze.

Bonuses: It has the weapon, melee, and cold keyword (admixtured lighting for wind-rider). Greatly increasing damage per slide.
Negitives: It's takes a standard to set-up. It also uses the ED so less power points to slide people with.
