[QUOTE="RLBURNSIDE, post: 5369411, member: 94650"] [b]Killswitch[/b] check out the hybrid warlord artificer "killswitch" on the wizards forums. It's such an incredibly fun and powerful build to round out a party. We used the daily punishing eye to great effect. It must have done a couple hundred HP of damage ON TOP of allowing us all to hit in darknened rooms against nasty invisible creatures. Without that daily, we'd have been goners. Magic Weapon is great, melee or ranged. Pump out your Int to 18 pre-racials since you will have great AC and reflex as well. Eladrin is a great choice for race, with the +2 to cha option now. The other at-will in that build, Direct the Strike, is perfect to giving that rogue with CA the chance to insta-gib something on your turn, and with the right crossbow caster feat and versatile expertise in light blades and crossbows you can have +17 to hit at level 9, melee or ranged, with pretty much all your attacks. The rapier I chose was a quicksilver rapier for the +2 to init, because having a +12 init at level 9 is uber for a leader. Double healing is also very good. I'd say the character had tougher defenses and better pretty much everything than our whole party. Too bad the guy playing it sort of dropped out. That was one fun character to play. Reorient the Axis + Magic Weapon + Punishing Eye. All these things are great. Tons of immediate action powers for out of turn attacks / buffs / debuffs. It's a great all-round class, especially tweaked and combined with the warlord in that way. Punishing Eye FTW!!! [/QUOTE]
