    Character Optimization - Brawler Style Fighter (Level 16)

    You're probably right but the CB doesn't recognize it yet with Fighting Shields. It does with other Magical Shields but not the Fighting Shields that were introduced. I will either add a Boar Tusk Helm to my mix or use a normal shield and take the hit to fortitude.

    Character Optimization - Brawler Style Fighter (Level 16)

    I don't have any books so I can't check out that race until the next CB/Compendium update. I will check it out right away though. I also have no idea how essentials works so I'll have to play around with it. Yeah 40 is nuts but the sad thing is most enemies are like 2-3 levels above you on...

    Character Optimization - Brawler Style Fighter (Level 16)

    Sun Shield is a special item that is both a weapon and a shield. I get defensive bonuses from the shield and I can use it as an enchanted heavy blade. It is considered to be a magical weapon so it does not take up the arm slot. This is how I attack while grabbing a target. That being said, if I...

    Character Optimization - Brawler Style Fighter (Level 16)

    Greetings, I created a build with this interesting fighting style, which in my opinion, needs some serious buffs and additional options. I made the most of it and I am open to any and all suggestions in order to optimize my character. Things to Note: * The purpose of my build is to be a solid...

    Character Optimization - Two-Blade Fighting Style Ranger

    Bow rangers are nice but I already have a bow based Hybrid Avenger_Seeker who has a Ranger MC. Plus one nice thing about a flying, hovering mount is that you can place yourself over your enemies and use a close burst attack and hit all enemies in 4X4 square. I aim to have about 1/3 of my attacks...

    Character Optimization - Two-Blade Fighting Style Ranger

    Greetings, I've been playing this Ranger from Level 1 onwards. He's gone through some changes over the time, and although I think he's a pretty good straight Striker, I'm always open to new ideas. I'm open for any type of feedback. Some points to note: * I have a Wyvern for mount and prefer...

    Character Optimization - Warlord

    Made some additional changes to my character. In general, I'm much more combat focused. I delayed my healing focus and removed my skill focus. * Changed my race to Tiefling * Picked up two sweet utility powers from Acolyte Power and Secrets of Belial. Due to my high initiative (thanks for the...

    Character Optimization - Hybrid Assassin_Rogue

    Thanks for all the feedback, both in this forum and the Wizards form. I made some fundamental changes to the build and would like to provide a summary for anyone interested. I decided to ditch the Hybrid along with the Shadow Walk and Warlock MC. I also changed some of my core items...

    Character Optimization - Hybrid Assassin_Rogue

    Open to more suggestions. Also, I tried to remove Shadow Walk + Warlock MC Feats. Replaced with Armor of Dark Deeds Item and 2 damage dealing feats. This may be possible to pull off with consistent concealment and CA.

    Character Optimization - Hybrid Assassin_Rogue

    Thanks for the feedback everyone, I really appreciate it. Made some changes to my build based on feedback and additional playing around with the CB: 1) Changed to Bastard Sword + Versatile Duelist. I use the Bastard Sword with two hands. This adds an average of 2 damage every At-Will attack...

    Character Optimization - Hybrid Assassin_Rogue

    I have the most recent Character Builder update and it still says that Rapier is a Superior Melee weapon. However, someone else from a Wizards forum said the same thing, mentioning new erata. So what's the deal?

    Character Optimization - Hybrid Assassin_Rogue

    Greetings, I made this character and would appreciate some suggestions and feedback about anything that comes to your mind. A few things to note: 1) I'm primarily a Cunning Sneak Rogue. Assassin Hybrid is there for: * Assassin Powers: There are some nice blast, burst, and ranged implement...

    Cool, thanks for the recommendations Matt. I'm open to other suggestions.

    Character Optimization - Warlord

    That sounds like fun, and is a nice combo, but not for me. My AC and Reflex would be lowered significantly with a two-handed weapon and a more even spread, and my focus would be diluted a lot. Plus you can't use Direct the Strike as an at-will OA (From Heavy Blade Opportunity) because it...

    Ritualist First-Timer Needs Advice

    Greetings, I'm playing a Ritual Caster character for the first time and would like some suggestions on what rituals to get. I plan to go through the list of course but would like to learn from the vets about what ones you have found to be the most useful, practical, and essential. I'm a Level...

    Character Optimization - Warlord

    Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah Inevitable Wave may be more useful in rare cases, but I may get Skill Swap and be done with the bonus at-will. I may get Skill Swap instead of Stubborn Survivor too. Ooo nice idea on the wands :) I can definitely put them to good use due to my INT. A Scorching...

    Character Optimization - Warlord

    I replied to your WotC post as well. Yeah there are no really good lazy PPs out there other than Battle Captain, which is why I chose it. I did change my presence to Tactical though. Yeah Tactician's Word and Tactical Assault look awesome indeed. I will remove Skill Power for Tactical Assault...
