Stoned - 32 Sorcerer/8 Barbarian

[Tru3Fals3]

thought id put up my pariah build, its pretty different from standard pariahs and prob not to everyones tastes but ive found it to be pretty effective.

i take a lot more sorc levels for a few reasons, mostly for feats, access to more spells and epic spells.

it loses a couple things from a 20/20 like max discipline and less rages (only gets 3 which is generally enough but tbh i never actually use the rages anyways) but it functions pretty well as a stand in for your cookie cutter regular sorc (although it lacks evo focus and thus karsus), its a hell of a lot more tanky (crazy hp, regen and resists), the magic buff and +16 gmw is always good too

its good all through legendary levels, hells and abyss (one minor change for abyss i would swap out bb9 for pwk)

build was in my shorthand but ill try and make it more readable as i go

You forgot to mention it has 2 less dc than a 20/20 due lacking barbarian LL bonuses - this is a huge tradeoff. But then you can pick extra known spells and get a handful known spells for free due CC sorc.

Maybe swapping necromancy for evocation and karsus could make it worthwhile to have epic and paragon spells (since almost all clerics and most druids run necromancy and can deal with death magic vulnerable mobs nowadays).

dc loss isnt an issue, dcs are high enough anyways (basically same as cookie cutter rad gen sorc) so its not much of a trade off since you wont notice any difference, also, necro is great purely for drains, which will increase dc if necessary and make it viable in abyss (for banishment, horrids and rebuke etc), its meant to cover a lot more bases to be more usefull in all areas from LL to abyss than a 20/20

if anything, illusion would be dropped for karsus since its only weird and 5% on displacement and you could wear a gsf aug and use draughts, dc on weird would still be viable for the most part but you would lose a feat since gnomes get sf illusion for free
