The Draconic Druid (60 Druid)

[bobownsya]

This build hasn't been fully tested yet. You have been warned.

So, one day, I couldnt find a group in range of any of my toons. I decided to make a new toon, and join the lowbie group. After a while of debating (and wanting to play my shifter), I came up with this. A pure druid with 4 (5 if you drop empowered/extended spells) epics, max breath attacks, and ruin. This is not a tank, or a melee, this is to be played somewhat like a caster using only your breath (as I haven't touched the melee aspect of the build). Without further ado, I present my first build on these forums: The Draconic Druid.

So far, this build has been a blast to play. Got it to immo yesterday, and was doing 260ish breath damage to Xevils in DB. Though the AC isn't something to rejoice about, I look forward to getting epics.

All shifters are glass cannons towards the lowbie levels. Even with veil, my AC is topping out at 102 right now. Once I get Dragon Form Focus 2 and 3, AC should rise, as well as with Armor Skin @ 60.

[bobownsya]

With enough gear, I think this could reach 120+ AC. You can get +20 natural, dodge, and deflection, with +18 armor, +19 or +20 if you get lucky. The Form Focus feats each add +2 AB and AC, resulting in another +4. If Concentration and Spellcraft get capped (Spellcraft at 50 for 2 ruins, and Concentration at 30ish), that would leave enough skillpoints to drop Armor Skin in favor of LSA: Tumble, for a net +6 AC. Keep in mind that so far Craft Armor isn't close to being maxed, I'm only getting +1 AC from it. There's another possible 2 AC. I don't want to drop any wis, because DCs need to be high for maximum breath damage.

Edited first post in favor of LSA: Tumble.
