Neggy's End Game Shadow Dancer. The Iggly Wigglies

[tega091]

So first off I want to start this off by saying this build is meant for at minimum X2 demi, also note that to get the best performance out of this build level 72+(the enviromental adpativities are very important.)

The build class composition is 3 paladin/7WM/ 30SD.

This build is meant for BUR subrace Half-Kyton(Half-Kyton (BUR) Dex +4 Con +4 Wisdom +4 FC: Base Race, Monk, ImpSpellResist 1&2, Dodge, Mobility,+8 Hide,+8 MoveSilent,+10Tumble: Any subrace) as a halfling. Personally, I prefer it over the XR as I value the flexibility of base race quite highly quite highly.

Str: 14
Dex: 16(20)
Con: 8(12)
Int: 13
Wis: 11(15)
Cha: 14

In Paragon levels, you can choose to distribute your remaining 20 points(parry and discipline get other 40) between CA CW and Hide.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Artifact: I would 100% advise Str Arti.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AC: 10 + 19(dex) + 22-23(armor ac{3 light armor base, 17-18(XR upped) ac + 2 girde} + 20(dodge) + 20 (defelection) + 17-20(natural{17(bur), 18(upped BUR, XR), 19(Upped XR), 20(strongheart, which is honestly not needed)}, 12(tumble) + 1(size) + 2(armor skin) + 1-3(craft armor)= 124-130
**Note: this plenty in conjunction with our conceal from Shadow Dance/Hide have played it through limbo**
**Note: We Also have epic dodge**

AB: 17(BAB) + 10 (EBA) + 20(LBA with Divine Power up) + 26(Stat) + 1(WF) + 1(GWF) + 2(EWF) + 3(LWF) + 2(PWF) + 1(Epic Prowess) + 1-3(CW) + 1(WM) + 1(size) + 20(magic) = 106-108
**Note After Shadow Stepping you get another +4 putting the ab 110-112, if on druid font also 114-116 on targets that have high AC**


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Saves:

Fort: 27(Base + legendary+ feats) + 12(stat) + 5(paragon) + 13(Paladin) + 2(asmo X7) + 20(magic) = 79
Reflex: 32(base + legendary + feats) + 19(stat) + 5(paragon) + 13(Paladin) + 2(asmo X7) + 20(magic)= 91
Will: 25(base + legendary + feats) + 14(stat) + 5(paragon) + 13(Paladin) + 2(asmo X7) + 20(magic)= 79

**Note that if you don't go an exotic weapon you will get 2 more to all of your saves from paragon luck putting ur saves at Fort: 81, Reflex 91, Will 81.**
**Note we have BOTH improved evasion and slippery mind**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I apologize for the format I will be making adjustments to the format as time goes on.

Also, any feedback/questions are appreciated and will be acknowledged.

[dopplegang]

Is this intended to be a 2 handed weapon user or a shield and small weapon build?

[tega091]

I made it for a 2 handed weapon user, if you aren't double demi i would advise going sword/shield.

[dopplegang]

I am double demi, as a personal rule I strongly advise against almost any 2hander before double demi. But I am not 72+ yet, so I expect that is part of the problem. Ac is 120 but I will evaluate the gear and see what can be done to improve it. The stats are exactly right, so I expect at 80 all will be exactly the same, and as you say this build is something that should be attempted later in a toon's lifetime.

@ dopplegang msg me in game i will help you, my guess is youare missing upped ac on BUR LA ( +17) and missing gird or you could be missing a dex modifer(paragon stats) + girding(cleric epic).
