OK, This is another good experiment using Pariah as a STR Tank
The intent of it is to have a STR Tank with some good Sellf Buffs/Regen and a good set of Immunities (crit/phys/elemental...)
Race- Howler. How could you not want the +6 STR and CON
Here's the progression (very Simple)
6 Barb
11 Sorc
13 Barb
1 Sorc
7 RDD
1 Sorc
1 Barb
RDD Splashed for some extra Ability increases to STR, and also some additional Fire immunity
Initial Base Scores (With Subbie Bonus and Penalties)
Str 15(21)
Dx 8
Con 16 (22)
Int 12
Wis 10 (7)
Cha 15 (11)
Immediate goal for build is to pump ability points into STR and CON to get CON to base 29 before lvl 40 and to take a couple of points in WIS/Cha to even out some numbers, and make some odd- (there is a good reason for the odd numbered abilities on this build)
Feat Selection and Progression
Feat Progression
Free: Heavy Armour Prof
Weapon Focus Greataxe
Lightning Reflexes
Still Spell
Spell Focus Transmute
Greater Spell Focus Transmute
Improved Crit Greataxe
Epic Weapon Focus Greataxe
Epic Reflexes
Great Strength 1
Epic Prowess
Great Charisma 1
Iron Will
Metamagic- Extend Spell
Great Strength 2
Great Strength 3
Great Strength 4
Legendary Saving Throw Reflex
Legendary Saving Throw Will
Legendary Weapon Focus Greataxe
Mighty Rage
Ability Selections on levelups
+ 5 Con
+1 Wis
+1 Cha
+13 Str
(Gets Additional +4 STR from RDD, +2 CON RDD, +4 CON and STR from Leg Barb Levels and +4 CHA from Pariah- Pariah also sets Base DX to 6 sadly)
Level 60 Scores
Base (with Bonuses from Gear)
Str 46 (58)
Dx 6 (18)
Con 33 (45)
Int 12 (24)
Wis 8 (20)
Cha 17 (29)
Note in LL, Barbarian gets +1 Str and +1 Con every 5 levels for this build
Skill points all spent on
Max Concentration
Max Discipline
Max Taunt
Max Craft Weapon
Max Tumble (cross class)
Remainder in Craft Armour
Note- need 8 Lore for RDD
Saves at 60 are (with Save bonuses)
Fort 61
Reflex 58
Will 60
AC with my mostly bur gear is 121 and Thid tower shield (no girding...)
With Heavy Armour gear my Phys Immunities hit
84% which is pretty good with Stone Bones (could get higher with some slightly different gear)
Blind Fight Feat will be obtained through the Min Pandect.
Will use the STR arty on it to bump STR to 60
Use the Transmute Tome for the Epic Transmute- gives epic wall for pariah and +14 GMW
Gets Crit Reduction from Pariah Levels, and Crit Immune when using Greater Rage as Barb
Mighty Rage gives more Attack and Damage Bonuses
This toon has Greataxe due to use of the updated Legendary Plate of the Master with Dev Crit GreatAxe Feat and Expertise
Gets +4 Str and +2 Con and 40% Fire Immune from the 7 RDD levels (and some weak draggy breath to boot!)
Spells selected are
Tensers
Stone to Flesh
Mestils Acid Sheath
Energy Buffer
Lesser Spell Mantle
Stoneskin
Enervation
Bestow Curse
Elemental Shield
Displacement
Greater Magic Weapon
Keen
Protection from Elements
Death Armour
Flame Weapon
Resist Elements
Stone Bones
Ghostly Visage
Endure Elements
Expeditious Retreat
Magic Weapon
Mage Armour
Grease
The combination of CON and Casterlevels give this toon a 45 casterlevel which gives another attack for Tensers (the reason for the odd 45 CON right now)
Also, all spells are cast with Metamagic Extend Spell (including Tensers and Stone to Flesh) (the reason for the 17 Cha- using Rona Sorc Cloak to cast Extended lvl 6 spells for longer duration) Spells were selected to maximize tanking damage, self buffs and protection. Enervation and Bestow Curse selected because they are just plain handy to have!
Gets additional Pariah Benefits of massive Regen and a number of bonus Barb/Pariah/RDD feats from the levels taken in this build
Most of the gear is BUR/UR, and is slanted to pick up extra resists/immunities and regen if possible... (except for the Rona Cloak)
Comments welcome
(Thanks again Kobra for extend spell suggestion with tenser and the Rona Cloak)
