New Class: The Lancer

Cool Wandering Mystic. Glad to know it's working well. Has there been any issue with outdamaging strikers and defenders or with your HP totals? Which Tactic ands at-wills did you go with? And hopefully you'll make it to mid paragon where the burst gets larger.

 

[WanderingMystic]

Race: Eladrin
Tactic: Precision Striker
Str: 17 (+1 at 4th will put another +1 at 8th, 14th, 18th, 24th and 28th)
Con: 12
Dex: 16 (will put +1 at 14th and 18th)
Int: 17 (+1 at 4th, will put another +1 at 8th, 24th and 28th)
Wis: 10

I put the 2 points into dex to get spear mastery

At Will:
Burst Strike and Piercing Thrust

Encounter:
1st: Distracting Shot
3rd: Precision Strike (have contemplated Dazzling Assault)
7th: Charge and Spin

Daily:
1st: Whirling Attack
5th: Pinning Strike

Utility:
2nd: Careful Positioning
6th: Repositioning Maneuver

One thing I have noticed id Daily 5th : Coiled Viper feels very weak it should make some kind of attack in addition to just threatening reach or deal some extra damage.

Wow, looking at your power selection I just realized something. Repositioning Maneuver is actually worse than Careful Positioning. It shifts 1 square less and is a daily power. I'll need to figure out something for that.

Coiled Viper feels weak? I figured threatening reach would be worth it, but maybe not. I'll think of something.

 

[WanderingMystic]

Coiled Viper is weak considering that it is a 5th level Daily Attack, all attack powers deal damage. It would be good as a 6th level Utility Encounter.

I don't think i ever noticed that, I just traded out Quick step at 7th level for it because I felt like it would be more useful, i misread it as a minor action and not a move action.

Changed Coiled Viper to Level 6 Utility, altered Repositioning Maneuver to be a Minor Action, gave Pinning Strike a target line, added a new 5th level Daily Lightning Assault

changed made to the pdf
by the way i love lightning assault i am going to see if my dm will let me swap out pinning strike for that

 

[ff6shadow]

Good news. Why donn't you just wait till level up and retrain?

 

[WanderingMystic]

I don't want to wait

 

[ff6shadow]

Very good reason, but it make's me wonder if the power is a little to strong then.

Very good reason, but it make's me wonder if the power is a little to strong then.

Lightning Assault is a max of 4[W] damage, with the stat mod twice, against multiple targets. Considerably stronger than a wizards 3d6 fireball, despite the lack of range and only close burst. Also compare to the ranger's two wolf pounce, that gives 2[W] and 1[W], with a secondary 2[W], but all against single targets.

I'd suggest dropping each attack to 1[W].
