Skills are Discipline, Parry, Tumble, Craft Armor, and Craft Weapon

(Seeing as I haven't been thru all the layers of Hell yet, I'm unsure how important concentration is to a fighter for checks)


21 base + 9 (levels 1-40) + 10 (levels 41-60) + 10 (ep's) + 4 (gd's) + 12 (items) = 66/+28 dex pre arti/demi

10 Base
14 Armor
16 Defl
16 Nat
20 Dodge
12 Tumble
28 Dex
16 Shield
10 Imp Expertise
2 Craft Armor

= 144ac (148 with GoF)
= 132ac dualing (134 with GoF) [this only went down 12 because of monk wisdom ac (4)]
= 122 dualing w/o imp expertise (124 with GoF)
CONCEAL, PARRY CONCEAL, and EPIC DODGE applied after

with shield on - 5attacks
with shield on and hs bonus - 7 attacks
Dualing - 9 attacks
Dualing with hs bonus - 11 attacks
hs bonus and flurry while dualing - 12 attacks


63(skill) + 28(dex) + 10(esf) + 20(lsf) + 3(sf) = 124 Dual a Sai = 150parry (150/4 = 37.5% Conceal, Bard Song's +2 Gives You 38% Conceal)
(Dualing a Sai = 48 Parry From Items Since Lsf and Sai count Towards The Cap) Bard Song Only Gives +2 Unless You Are Not Dualing a Sai

Remember, this is fighter conceal which is applied AFTER normal conceal.
Not to mention 120+ parry gives you 50% imm to criticals

AND Imp parry gives invulnerability for 5 rounds (30 seconds) once per day which can prove useful.

Saves are squared away all over 60 and ab should be sitting in the low-mid 90's.

If the ac is a bit much compared to the ab, you can always drop a feat and throw in epic prowess.

Only concern I see plainly is damage output (besides ability checks, which str will be 33), but that wasn't really the point of the build.

[bort]

What's the AB?
Improved Expertise is nice in a jam, but i wouldn't count on using it all the time as
a) it's a pain in the a$$ to have to keep clicking it every time you move or heal
b) it completely gimps your AB and therefore damage output for pretty much all classes except WMs who have the highest AB on the server and can afford it (assuming they build for max AB, which few do at the moment).

You mention getting Conceal & Parry Conceal.
Where is the normal Conceal coming from?
Have you considered taking enough Monk for Improved Evasion and taking the Self Conceal V feats or do you get Conceal from somewhere else?

[jonuhey]

I guess its a normal conceal coming from "disp pls mr singer!!!" =P

And I found it very good nef, except for something: its a pure dexer =X As your str is already high, I would suggest dropping dex by 7 and adding that to str... you would end up with 40 str and 58 dex pre demi/arti... also with epic prowess your ab would get 2 points higher

Lol, glad someone has been on a hell run with a character that can't conceal itself

And, yes... there are many things you can do to this build to change it to how you like it. The point was to put this out there ;D.

Suggestions are helpful Jon. Thnx.

Point was that you ended with moderate ab (Mid-low 90's. Like I said in my first post.) and huge defensive capabilities with just a simple uber dex fighter.

And since I'm talking about a uber defensive (melee, not checks) toon, why not (please don't beat me) drop the str for some wisdom . That would up the dualing ac a bit so you don't have to worry as much about gaining the extra attacks.

[starlandra]

it would not up the dualing ac anymore than putting the points in dex.

I agree dumping more into str helps solidify this as a hells tank. I would not matter if you have a 200+ ac if you keep getting kd from pf's your still dead. at the very least pump your str to 26. then you are 38 in gear and can just 'about' tank pf's without getting knocked down. then use your free feats for dev crit. getting your chucks to 17-20 x 3 will make a world of difference cause what is the point of 12 attacks if you are still doing the same damage output of 6?

More kickback

[simpetar]

1. I thought the engine cap to any skill is 127, parry being no exception additional bonuses only serve to ameliorate various penalties... how can you count on 150 parry? Or did I miss something?

2. Sai gives parry bonus only if wielded in off-hand... or did I miss something again?

cheers

[starlandra]

simpetar you are correct on both points, and egg... fear of kb is for sissys! lol

What's the hs bonus?

[bort]

There is a secret item for characters with 5 levels of Harper Scout which grants +2 attacks per round twice a day for a limited time.
