[QUOTE="WalterKovacs, post: 4540935, member: 63763"] sroy2: How are you calculating the resistances? Stone bear gives 3 + Con mod. At level 11, best case is going to be a +4 Con mod, so that would be resist 7 max, and at that point you are hurting your STR to get more con. Resistance does not stack with other resistances ... so you'd get either 7 or 10 depending on the type of damage being dealt. I'm assuming you are using some feats to increase your resistances, but outside those that explicitly increase your resistances, they do not stack with each other. Also I'm wondering where the +8 from elemental form comes from. There is a power that gives +2 for fire and +2 for lightning and I could see you getting +4 by dual manifesting those with your paragon path, but I'm not sure where the rest is coming from. Also, your 13 temp HP seems high. You'd only be getting 9 temp HP. It's 5 + con modifier while raging, and I'm pretty sure your con mod isn't +8. It you killed someone outright, you'd be getting 10 + con mod temp HP (which also doesn't stack) because of the feral might/bloodrage vigor ... but the recuperating strike doesn't scale up in the same way. I'd like to see the build, but some of the unbalancing effects seem a little ... off. [/QUOTE]
