The Dominator (Deva Malediction Invoker/Divine Oracle/Soul of the World)About this Build[sblock]The idea of this build is to maximize the chances of encounter power domination. With Divine Oracle, we roll two dice on all our attacks vs. Will. If we miss, we’re dazed, but most of our powers daze or stun us anyway. By using Holy Symbol Expertise, we do not grant combat advantage while dazed/stunned. At the beginning of our turn, we get a saving throw from Superior Will, which we make at a huge bonus due to Dispater’s Iron Discipline.By choosing Soul of the World as our epic destiny, we gain access to Tiefling feats, the most important of which is Royal Command of Asmodeus. This turns all our stuns into dominates. With Invoked Devastation, our Word of Bewilderment is a close burst 6 that dominates and debuffs -2 to next attack due to Psychic Lock. We can get this power back, or Compel Action, by critting or spending an action point.In heroic tier, Crushing Doom allows us one free round where the monsters pretty much do nothing (resist 4-5 to whole party for a round in heroic tier is huge). This later gets turned into Cascading Doom at epic, allowing us to give vulnerability to all targets. In addition, all our powers grant a saving throw every round due to Symbol of Sacrifice.The defenses of this build need to be strong to stand in the middle of a bunch of monsters (all our attacks are close blasts; Visions of Blood is our main at-will due to double rolls and Psychic Lock. The build has solid defenses, with all 3 epic defense feats, Superior Will, an Aversion Staff for more defenses, and Invoker Defense to boost AC if we hit something close. (And we pretty much never grant combat advantage).If allowed, Templar from Dark Sun improves this build quite a bit. Take Mantle of Might, Fearsome Command, and Fettering Glare.[/sblock]Deva Malediction Invoker/Divine Oracle/Soul of the World[sblock]StatsL1: Wis 18 Int 18 Con 12 Str 12 Dex 10 Cha 8L30: Wis 28 Int 28 Con 14 Str 14 Dex 12 Cha 10DefensesAC: 10+15+11hide+9int = 45 (Level+15)Fort: 10+15+6enh+2item+2con+1inv+3imp+4epic = 43 (Level+13)Ref: 10+15+6enh+9int+1inv+3imp+4epic= 48 (Level+18)Will: 10+15+6enh+9wis+1inv+3imp+1sup+4epic = 49 (Level+19)+2 to AC if you hit something within 3 squares w/invoker power - Invoker Defense+2 to all defenses if they suffer from one of your effects - Aversion StaffSoul of the World ChoicesTiefling, Elf, WizardPowersAW: Visions of Blood, Hand of RadianceEnc1: Astral TerrorDaily1: Silent MaledictionUtil2: Miraculous FortuneEnc3: Word of RuinDaily5: Searing OrbUtil6: Demand JusticeEnc7: Tide of the First StormDaily9: Fourfold Invocation of DoomUtil10: Word of UrgencyEnc13: Brilliant Revelation (replaces Astral Terror)Daily15: Wall of Blades (replaces Searing Orb)Util16: Pennant of Heaven’s ArmiesEnc17: Word of Pain (replaces Word of Ruin)Daily19: Summon Angel of Light (replace Fourfold Invocation of Doom)Util22: Invoke HeroismEnc23: Word of Bewilderment (dominates) (replaces Tide of the First Storm)Daily25: Prismatic Spray (Wizard) (replaces Wall of Blades)Enc27: Compel Action (replaces Brilliant Revelation)Daily29: Visions of Wrath (Wizard) (replaces Summon Angel of Light)FeatsL1: Crushing Doom (retrain to Cascading Doom at 24)L2: Divine HealerL4: Holy Symbol ExpertiseL6: Superior Implement (Accurate Holy Symbol)L8: Battle IntuitionL10: Invoker DefenseL11: Psychic LockL12: Improved DefensesL14: Superior WillL16: Resilient Focus (retrain to Dispater’s Iron Discipline at 22)L18: Improved Initiative (retrain to Superior Initiative at 21)L20: Superior Reflexes (retrain to Divine Mastery at 23)L21: Invoked DevastationL22: Royal Command of AsmodeusL24: Epic ResurgenceL26: Epic FortitudeL28: Epic ReflexL30: Epic WillItemsAccurate Symbol of Sacrifice +6, Aversion Staff +1, Battle Harness +6, Torc of Power Preservation +6, Diamond Cincture (Paragon), Headband of Intellect (Paragon), Resplendent Gloves (Epic), Zephyr Boots, Ring of Free Time, Greater Ring of Invisibility, Dice of Auspicious Fortune, Curse Eye Tattoo, Avandra’s Boon of Escape[/sblock] The Chessmaster (Githzerai Preservation Invoker/Flame of Hope/Avangion)About this Build[sblock]The idea of this build is to be as ally-friendly as possible. On all our divine encounter/daily powers, we slide two allies 2 squares (due to Covenant Shifting and Broadened Manifestation). Combine with allies with Agile Opportunist for extra basic attacks. In addition, the build sports many encounter-long effects, such as summons, conjurations, debuffing/buffing zones, etc. Our Preserver’s Rebuke grants an extra basic attack also.When we spend an action point, all allies get +Int to hit against our targets. Although one could argue for Fourfold Invocation of Doom type of powers, I think that we should just stick to the best powers (a bonus against 3 targets should be readily achievable and be worth plenty to the rest of the group).The build also maximizes radiant crit-fishing. Hand of Radiance is fully buffed, debuffs Reflex by 2, and crits on a 19-20. Crits are highly effective due to Punishing Radiance, Devastating Invocation, and Epic Resurgence. At 24, all our powers are radiant due to Avangion.[/sblock]Githzerai Preservation Invoker/Flame of Hope/Avangion[sblock]StatsL1: Wis 18 Int 18 Con 12 Str 12 Dex 10 Cha 8L30: Wis 28 Int 28 Con 14 Str 14 Dex 12 Cha 10PowersAW: Hand of Radiance, Visions of BloodEnc1: Thunder of JudgmentDaily1: Brilliant BeaconUtil2: Wall of Light (retrain to Divine Call at 13)Enc3: Astral TerrorDaily5: Searing OrbUtil6: Demand JusticeEnc7: Tide of the First StormDaily9: Cerulean FlamesUtil10: Word of UrgencyEnc13: Brilliant Revelation (replaces Astral Terror) (retrain to Winds of Celestia at 23)Daily15: Wall of Blades (replaces Searing Orb)Util16: Pennant of Heaven’s ArmiesEnc17: Glyph of Radiance (replaces Astral Terror)Daily19: Summon Angel of Light (replaces Brilliant Beacon)Util22: Invoke HeroismEnc23: Storm of Celestia (replaces Tide of the First Storm)Daily25: Eye of the Sun (replaces Cerulean Flames)Enc27: Compel Action (replaces Brilliant Revelation)Daily29: Word of the Gods (replaces Wall of Blades)FeatsL1: Staff ExpertiseL2: Arcane Initiate (Beguiling Strands)L4: BattlewiseL6: Superior Implement Training (Accurate Staff)L8: Covenant ShiftingL10: Implement Focus (retrain to Silvery Glow at 24)L11: Power of the MoonL12: Broadened ManifestationL14: Hidden SniperL16: Improved Defenses L18: Preserver’s Fury (retrain to Devastating Critical at 22)L20: Improved Initiative (retrain to Invoker Implement Expertise at 21)L21: Invoked DevastationL22: Preserver’s CommandL24: Punishing RadianceL26: Epic ResurgenceL28: Divine MasteryL30: Epic FortitudeItemsAccurate Staff of Ruin +6, Orb of Nimble Thoughts +1, Battle Harness Hide +6, Cloak of Distortion +6, Executioner’s Bracers (Epic), Boots of Speed, Gauntlets of Blood (Epic), Casque of Tactics (Heroic), Diamond Cincture (Paragon), Ring of the Radiant Storm, Shadow Band, Siberys Shard of the Mage (Epic), Curse Eye Tattoo, Dice of Auspicious Fortune[/sblock] The Stormbringer (Half-Elf Wrath Invoker/Lyrandar Wind-Rider/Destined Scion)About this Build[sblock]This is a classic Wrath Stormvoker, with an area burst 3 Vanguard’s Lightning and Divine Bolts as a ranged basic attack with +5 to hit (Eagle Eye Goggles plus Lyrandar Wind-Rider plus Destined Scion) and +Con to damage. Both of them slide due to Mark of Storm. Note that this build requires worship of multiple deities to work (Avandra also, for Avandra’s Covenant, which grants a saving throw on your encounter/dailies if needed).The build is fully crit-enabled, and even trained in Intimidate for Dreadful Invocation. In addition, we get Devastating Invocation and Epic Resurgence on a crit. The build makes full use of Resounding Thunder and takes massive thunder zones/bursts whenever possible, culminating in Storm of Celestia.[/sblock]Half-Elf Wrath Invoker/Lyrandar Wind-Rider/Destined Scion[sblock]StatsL1: Wis 18 Con 18 Str 12 Int 12 Dex 10 Cha 8L30: Wis 28 Con 28 Str 14 Int 14 Dex 12 Cha 10Half-Elf OptionKnack for SuccessPowersAW: Divine Bolts, Vanguard’s LightningEnc1: Thunder of JudgmentDaily1: Silent MaledictionUtil2: Divine CallEnc3: Lightning’s RevelationDaily5: Searing OrbUtil6: Demand JusticeEnc7: Rain of BloodDaily9: Hail of Thunderous BattleUtil10: Angelic MessengerEnc13: Deadly Doubt (replaces Thunder of Judgment)Daily15: Storm of Punishment (replaces Searing Orb)Util16: Word of RefugeEnc17: Brilliant Revelation (replace Lightning’s Revelation) (retrain to Rain of Blood at 21)Daily19: God Hammer (replaces Hail of Thunderous Battle)Util22: Invoke HeroismEnc23: Storm of Celestia (replace Deadly Doubt)Daily25: Invoke the Fallen (replaces God Hammer)Enc27: Compel Action (replaces Rain of Blood)Daily29: Word of the Gods (replaces Storm of Punishment)FeatsL1: Mark of StormL2: Staff ExpertiseL4: Superior Implement Training (Accurate Staff)L6: Implement Focus (Staff)L8: Power of StormL10: Power of SkillL11: Resounding ThunderL12: BattlewiseL14: Avandra’s CovenantL16: Improved DefensesL18: Improved Initiative (retrain to Superior Initiative at 23)L20: something, retrain to Invoker Implement Expertise at 21L21: Invoked DevastationL22: Devastating InvocationL24: Dreadful InvocationL26: Epic ResurgenceL28: Divine MasteryL30: Epic FortitudeItemsAccurate Staff of Ruin +6, Time Link Chain +6, Cloak of Distortion +6, Executioner’s Bracers (Epic), Zephyr Boots, Gauntlets of Blood (Epic), Eagle Eye Goggles (Epic), Diamond Cincture (Paragon), Ring of the Radiant Storm, Shadow Band, Siberys Shard of the Mage (Epic), Curse Eye Tattoo, Dice of Auspicious Fortune[/sblock] Headspin (Half-Elf Cleric|Wrath Invoker/Divine Oracle/Destined Scion)Headspin[sblock]HeadspinRace: Half-elfClass: Cleric|InvokerParagon Path: Divine OracleEpic Destiny: Destined ScionBackground: Missing MasterTheme: SeerHybrid Invoker Choice: ReflexHybrid Cleric Choice: Battle Cleric's Lore (assuming this is legal)Dilettante Choice: Eldritch Strike (Con)Destined Scion Choices: Wisdom, ConstitutionSkillsHeal +29, Insight +34, Perception +32 (roll twice), Endurance +29Speed: 5Initiative:+38 (+15 level +8 superior +9 wisdom +6 item)Ability ScoresL30: Str 15, Con 28, Dex 12, Int 13, Wis 28, Cha 10L1: Str 13, Con 18, Dex 10, Int 11, Wis 18, Cha 8DefensesHP: 155, Surge Value: 37, Surges per Day: 15AC: 49 (10 +15 level, +14 armor, +2 shield, +6 enhance, +1 item, +1 feat)Fort: 48 (10 +15 level, +6 item, +4 epic, +3 id, +9 con, +1 item)Ref: 40 (10 + 15 level, +6 item, +4 epic, +3 id, +1 class, +1 int)Will: 48 (10 + 15 level, +6 item, +4 epic, +3 id, +1 class, +9 wis)FeatsL1: Battle AwarenessL2: Hybrid Talent (CD: Favor of the Gods)L4: Wary FighterL6: Versatile Expertise (Mace, Holy Symbol)L8: Improved Initiative (retrain to Reserve Maneuver at 11)L10: Thunder Hammer (retrain to Versatile Master at 12)L11: Dizzying MaceL12: Gambler's WordL14: Improved DefensesL16: Superior Will (retrain to Armor Proficiency Plate at 23)L18: Improved Initiative (retrain to Superior Initiative at 21)L20: Thunder Hammer (retrain to Divine Mastery at 22) L21: Supreme HealerL22: Invoked DevastationL24: Epic ReflexL26: Armor Specialization (Plate)L28: Epic FortitudeL30: Epic Will PowersSeer: Cast FortuneCD: Favor of the GodsDilettante: Eldritch Strike (Con)AW: Hand of RadianceAW: Brand of the SunEnc1: Thunder of JudgmentDly1: Moment of GloryUtil2: Divine CallEnc3: Death SurgeDly5: Silent MaledictionUtil6: Stream of LifeEnc7: Rain of Blood (retrain to Astral Flare at 10)Dly9: Fourfold Invocation of DoomUtil10: Demand JusticeEnc11: RESERVE (Thunder of Judgment)Util12: Good OmensEnc13: Deadly Doubt (replaces Thunder of Judgment)Dly15: Dismissal (replaces Moment of Glory)Util16: Walls of HestavarEnc17: Remorse (replaces Death Surge)Dly19: Moment of Peace (replaces Dismissal)Dly20: Hammer of FateUtil22: Invoke HeroismEnc23: Word of Bewilderment (replaces Astral Flare)Dly25: Racking Invocation of Pain (replaces Silent Malediction)Dly26: Epic RecoveryEnc27: Compel Action (replaces Deadly Doubt)Dly29: Word of the Gods (replaces Fourfold Invocation of Doom)Dly30: Undeniable VictoryItemsUnforgettable Cudgel Morningstar +6, Dwarven Armor Godplate +6, Timeless Locket +6, Circlet of Arkhosia (Epic), Diamond Cincture (Paragon), Symbol of Sustenance +4, Rhythm Blade Dagger +1[/sblock] </blockquote>
