Yes, it's helpful to have someone bounce ideas to. Also, ameliorating strike was before ST and improved precise shot usage, so made a bit more sense then.

In the end of the day, most builds, for...

I was thinking that ameliorating strike worked off of doublestrikes as well as each proc from tempests Dod. But it's use it greatly mitigated since it only price once every 12 seconds now.

Anyway,...

Yup. I assume HW will be the better tree, but I specifically do not want to run the meta builds.

Since AA capstone and tier 5 deepwood is best that now currently can get these days for a bow, I...

This was quite helpful. Ya problem I noticed is that you are better off leveling as non qstaff and end up missing all the nice staves in heroics. I figured this wouldn't be a solo build and would...

Ya, you kinda hit the nail on the head. I was looking at Horc due to awesome thf abilities with "capstone" of helpnesses stacking with TA. I wanted a good qstaff build and figured that despite having...

What is your opinion on Paladin 15/x dps builds?

Namely, Horc TA 4/ 1 EK?

Truthfully, making a THF Ranger is not crazy since the same theory applies as it had for Tempest rangers using dance of death - finding great utility and hard-hitting clicky attacks that will hit...

TWF BUFF - full ability mod on offhand at greater TWF feat (give tier 5 ranger something else, perhaps 1.25 ability mod), both weapons hit with all cleaving attacks and clicky attacks.

Or 6 fighter 4 Rogue, and 10 bard. You exchange last two levels of fighter so you can take killer enhancement for extra double-strikes. Of course, that does diminish AP spent in Swashbuckler just to...

Elf AA to be a professional kiter. :)

Hmmm..Maybe under the current system, doing the opposite makes more sense; namely, converting some special abilities of melees as timed clickies or other some such device to match the resource...

What are you talking about? I was just bringing up for discussion about whether people feel shrines make things easier or whether it made no difference.

I personally limit my usage of...

Maybe its just be me, but I believe that a large part of the challenge and more importantly, joy from completing instance-based quests is the realization that you can only rely with what you bring...

I see AA hybrid as a solid option: 6 Ranger 14 Paladin

14 Paladin for Extended threat for Maul, Holy sword, heals, and defensive stance (13 ap)

6 Ranger for tier 5 deepwood stalker (38 ap),...

In any case, it seems to me from what you suggest and from what I am suggesting is that it comes down to epic destiny choice. If you choose Sharadi, then focusing more on the caster aspect of Druid...

I guess the way I am looking at it is that you get paralyze arrows for your CC. But, depending on your DC, it could take more than the first shot to go off. The other items on that lists ensures that...

I also think you may be overdoing the CC. Paralyze/terror arrows with beguile, pin, sleetstorm, icestorm, stay frosty, leg shot, improved deception, crippling, and tendon slice on gear should be...

I deliberately did not consider an earthquake druid due to a few things: splitting DC for enchantment and evocation is not something I personally see as possible, especially when trying to obtain...

Looking to refine my idea of a AA druid build as well as general constructive comments.
The Class split would look like this:

13 druid / 6 Ranger / 1 fighter

Purpose of the build.( i.e. what...

I actually think going 6 fighter 14 pali is better for swf - khopesh, bastard sword) I personally like 15 pali, 1 wizard, 4 fighter.
You take tier 5 in kotc for the AOE attacks, immunity to level...

I was thinking possible class splits:

12 Fighter, 4 cleric, 4 bard (kensie tier 5 (no swashbuckling))
12 Bard, 4 cleric, 2 rogue (swashbuckler tier 5)
8 fighter, 8 bard, 4 cleric (give up level...

Would you consider using Ameliorating Strike with Sustaining Song without Healing Aura to open up the fifth tier for fighter's Kensei or fifth tier swashbuckling?

22 Warpriest, 22 Spellsinger, 36...

I guess I figured that Tilomere would stop abusing broken builds to obtain high numbers as the Devs have already said they would be fixing the stacking fighting styles when performing the druid...

I prefer 2 barbarian instead of druid levels for movement speed and earsmash for easy sneak attacks. Coupled with DOD you get free AOE sneak damage.

Dropping 1 level Rogue nets you 6th level...

I am sure it has been said, but which of these clickies work with ranged attacks? Presumably they all should since your weapon focus could be Bow, crossbow, and or throwing as well.

Thanks.
