Sanjo "Deathhammer" 13 Rogue / 6 Ranger / 1 Fighter

[levy1964]

" And he who controls the battlefield... Controls history "

" In search of somewhere after years teaching experience road forsaken their restriction "daggers" against his nature began to dabble in magic, archery, direct combat. My willpower is sufficient to keep going "

Introduction.

Sanjo "Deathhammer" It's flavor build with many useful skills to solo quest, but u need gear.
These useful skills depend on the skill player, here is not uber-defensive or high save as a foundation builds All you have is your skill set as trapmaking, multi target damage, situational Defence (Meld, Parry, Uncanny), long ranged combat , sneaky skill (if u save as not good maybe you can sneak) and Tactic ability (stun / trip). Road to completion quest is much more than you think you are. it does not mean it is too easy. This build change gameplay difficult from passive to active.

Important Note: About Feat: Magical traning and Feat: Guardian Angel.

Magical Traning as u know gives some SP and up chance on crit spell (5%), with GS cloak (T3 Major healing lore gives 15%) or Gauntlets of Immortality i have 20%/21% chance on coocon crit. I know sometimes coocon it’s not enought, so use Silver Pots ( restore 525hp ) and Heal Scroll
How it works Critical 1
How it works Critical 2
How it works Critical 3

Guardian Angel gives nice boost prr to 107 from 79 (when blit’z) and bonus to save .It seems to me that this is a much better option than .... Exclusive Target (5% mitigate physical damage) and do not have any problem with "dodge" physical damage...so do not need it
How it works Angel

Enhancements and Epic Destinies.




Important Note:explanation of dodging techniques, mitigate damage and combo defence

to reduce incoming hit i use 3 various sources dodge:
-Elabotary parry - 30% dodge bonus on 20sec, 1min cooldown bypass dodge cap only if u use robe/cloth
-Meld into Darkness - 100% dodge bonus on 15sek, 2min cooldown
-Uncanny Dodge - 50% dodge bonus on 20sek ,2min cooldown
this 3 skill give exellent defence on 1min 15sec or longer if you build the right combination.
different situations require different solutions as for example the fight 1vs1 / 1vs4 / 1vsAlert

Defense combo looks like this: parry (52% dodge)->dodge (72%)->Meld (122%dodge)->5sek weakness->parry (52% dodge), u can extended this combo with add Manyshoot to mitigate dmg, after this u are weakness on ~20sec. After cooldown reset on parry u can start again, use it properly requires some practice since it is based on an active defensive.

in the right way can get out almost everything.

hi Levy, looks like a fun build with some great expertise in your playstyle. I really admire how you integrate rotating dodge burst bonuses.

What weapons are you using in your vids?

I considered the split you use but wanted ninja for shadow veil and the invisibility for stealth tactics. If you have a chance, you are welcome to check out the build in my signature (Twilight Blade). It leverages Elven tree for displacement and Harper to extend it; the latter for improved deception on weapons; etc. etc. I suggest Harper but one could also just add DPS from the other trees without it. (It is also New player friendly).

hi Saekee, i use two hammer with mortal fear and 2 meteor swarm in one per weapon, yea this Defense it's really greate becouse bypass totaly incoming hit, so thats i don't need high fort and idc if mobs hit on 100,400,500,1000. if i know hard fighting waiting , my defence is prepare for this

[levy1964]

Stealth on this build it's possible, u can watch how it's good even if enemy it's close to u, this vide it's a mix Boss fight in EE Hunted Halls where first fight prove if have knowagle "how to do", poor will save (39 on stock) don't ur enemy, secound fight it's a Fallen giant Stealth party (this guard+music there are fun xD), Third battle it's a test my "active" defence on Mummy and champion, the last fight tell my "u don't need feat no-fail on 1"

i try record the last movie in total Stealth tactic (Lord sable, 3/4 quest in sneaky mode, bypass many hard fight there)



ohh i don't miss white dragon fight but reenter on this fight it's chellange fail, so not doing this yet without death, need better aknowagle "how to do"

[Nobnarb]

Any thoughts how this would change with u28? Curious if it would be worth swappinng to Rng12/RogX, or if the SA/Rog Feats would be worth keeping current split.

Would loose both Rogue special feats (Opportunist and Imp Evasion), SA dice, Epic Imp Sneak Attack.
Would gain extra feat slot due to ranger gaining Greater TWF at 11. Crit threat/Mult +1 from Tempest/DWS lvl 12 cores.

Imp Eva could be picked back up through Tempest T5 though...

reroll to 13/5/2 pal
up save, burst dmg to 233mp [97DS] , and base dmg/ dire DC from kta [need LS weapon to int ]
no point in deepwod,i found some synergy in assasin tree with high doublestrike and rogue ability to drop fortification, apply sneak attack

high output dmg with low crit 18-20

picture before reroll

hi Levy, so you are staying with the general philosophy of using the dodge clickies in rotation? I love this idea. The base is essentially 4 ranger (for parry) and uncanny dodge (8 rogue or 8 barbarian). So one can do also a mix of barb and ranger as another option

quick question: so Parry from tier 4 tempest 1) works with robes & 2) bypasses the dodge cap ONLY if in robes? Do the other tempest enhancements like improved mobility work for outfits/robes?

hey. could you maybe post a screen of your enhances with the changed class split to 2pally splash. thx

[levy1964]

little re-gear and boost KtA, gives this result



u know this is not real DPS number, but u can see how numer go up after little tweak in gear and enh

PS. defence on this build suck and i know this, but i still think is good deal for be top damage dealer in TWF style.

[Eryhn]

yes, yes, i know it gets nice numbers

but pwetty plz, share your enhancement split on the 2 pally version?

im doing the build with 13/6/1 on a shadarkai atm, so far, from 14-16 great fun, but will have to wait till epics to see how goes. i might eventually wanna do human with 2 pally and there's a lot of ways to shift enhancements, so show the enhancement numbers "behind" your numbers, ya? XD
