That actually sounds like an intriguing character combo. I'll tinker around with the idea in the Character Builder when I get a chance. Working a few 12-hour shifts this week, so yeah...ew...

The Reaving Axe knock-down feature does seem like an oddball, I know. Every other style-type feat states exactly what Powers you can use to take advantage of the feats features...but the feat description of the Reaving Axe-lineup doesn't actually tie the effect to a specific power(s) like most...

With the Reaving Axe Slayer feat, it does. The feat causes the effect.

Tempest Fighters are limited to Light Blades? The Character Builder didn't seem to care that the character I created was using axes... The example build I made that was a Tempest Fighter Hybrid was a melee focus btw, ranged was just an afterthought with that one. I am looking at Seekers...

Getting a lot of negative feedback so far...but I guess that was to be expected, and I do appreciate everyone's suggestions. Well, the goal was to get respectable ranged dps via Twin Strike (RBA's probaly won't ever come up in our group anyways), while aiming for as many crits/knocked prone...

Bump... Anyone have any suggestions/etc? I still have a few questions unanswered :(

I put together a Str/Dex Tempest Fighter/Ranger who uses a similar Handaxe tactic (+2 dmg, +1hit is a decent trade in dmg compared to a Double-Axe or similar weapon IMO...and it's a ranged weapon when you need it to be ^^). Still deciding whether to keep the previous class choices, but figured...

Thank you for all the useful information there! And yeah, I suppose by calling her a 'support' character that I mean she would basically be a bit of leader/striker with a dabble of controller (mostly with her Ranger powers/feats to slow down enemies). The Shaman/Ranger combo is getting harder...

Ah, ok...got the Spirit's Shield power now. Was a Hybrid feature called 'Spirit's Power'. Thanks for pointing that out, I suppose her PP is now probably going to be the hybrid one to allow her to choose a Beastmaster pet as well as get the Shaman spirit healing ability. Does anyone have...

Sorry for the double-post, but I have a question about her the 'Spirit's Shield' power, and wanted the question to not be buried at the bottom of that last post... So my question is how to gain the Spirit's Shield At-Will. No matter what I do, this At-Will power is not printing out with her...

I realize that having 15 instead of 20ish in Dex isn't optimal for damage, but we are trying to aim more for a support role for her, hence the Wis focus. More Dex would make her a lot less squishy though...although her Con seems pretty high as well, she gains temp HP bonuses from it by using...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if any of you would be willing to rate my character and perhaps provide advice/feedback on ways to improve her design. Looking especially for Shaman players, since I'm still somewhat unfamiliar with Shamans play-stile and their higher-lvl Powers and feat...

How about Ranger/Shaman? I agree with the previous post that Hybrid characters are much easier to use to create a 'character concept' more fully then a vanilla character. Hybrids are definitely more complicated, but in my opinion, are more rewarding in their character development as well...

Well, if you start as a Hybrid Shaman/Beastmaster Ranger then grab an Arcane class MC feat for the familiar, you can have 3 'pets'. I'm playing one now, and it's quite nice to have a veritable mobile-wall in front of her to block/flank/etc(she's a ranged axe-thrower, Dex/Wis focus, so she's not...

I'm not finding the Eternal Defender option in the Character Builder...was it removed? So far as I know, even if you take this PP, you still can't wield 2-handed weapons in one hand, can you?

Throwing Axes are actually quite nice, despite the low damage potential. Take a look at the Reaping Axe style feats: when you crit you knock them prone. Opportunity Attacks are then granted to any allies in range of the prone enemy when they try to stand up again. I'm playing a heal/support...

Yep, I'm planning on picking her feats/Powers carefully. I haven't really looked at the Druid summons yet, it probably should have been one of the first to look up, given the history of the class...but owell. From the sounds of it, they have limited uses, and no direct control. In my group, we...

I'll definitely post updates about the characters' game-play viability, I'm hoping to try her out next week. I think her biggest flaw will be a shortage of feats, as quite a few of them are devoted to efficiently using her pets. IMHO, it's kind of annoying that pets can't attack when you do...

--post double-submitted-- *facepalm*

Ah, yeah. I forgot about the shared initiative thing. So far as having enough actions to move them all around, it could get cumbersome moving them all around...but it's still an experimental character. The spirit/familiar will probably have to alternate which one gets to move per turn, and as...
