-HC- Lolth's Knight (14 Sorcerer, 10 RDD, 36 BG)

[louisvilleslugger]

1st DISCLAIMER:
This build was designed as a self buff melee tank for -HC-, since finding a balanced party is very difficult in -HC-.

2nd DISCLAIMER:
I wanted to use Drider Subrace. It's not the best subrace out there, but it's open subrace for -HC-.

Comments most welcome.

Fire: 70% Immune - 50% Vulnerable (drider) = 20% Immune

RDD immunity cannot be lowered, thus 70 %.

I may be wrong, but does extended Divine Might/ Shield not require 21 class levels in pre-legendary?

I don't know! I hope it doesn't, but can't really test it.

It does require those levels to be class levels (and hence, pre-legendary).

Darn.

That kinda sucks.

Edited the build.

Option 1: keep it for short use only (1 minute per use)
Option 2: replace w/ toughness and keep epic fiend in LL
Option 3: replace w/ lightning reflexes and take legendary reflexes in LL.
Option 4: replace w/ WF from level 21 and take epic reflexes at 21 and keep the option for toughness or epic fiend in LL.
