Hey all, I've been playing Higher Grounds since I was little and have been off and on over the years. Looking for someone to point me in the right direction really. I've been looking for a solid build for soloing and/or just a general fun build. I already have an AA that has done some hells runs, but I made her years and years ago. I have a few BURs such as: Anarch, Brownie, Half-Fiend, Pharlan, Negatai, Erinyes. Any help would be greatly appreciated, like I said I have been playing here for a bit, but now that I have more of an interest in it and have matured quite a bit, I would like to start building up some more characters properly. Thank You!

I highly suggest you this build from Tomaan Klaa, a ranger/shifter he is awsome, on about all runs including hell's runs and over he is in the top 3 on kills and dmg give. With this build you can also solo many LL runs without problem. It's a very solild build, but i suggest you to invest points in animal empathy to maximize some of your forms special spells, i have 2 of this build, on the second one there i have invest points in animal empathy. highergroundpoa.proboards.com/thread/19430/swiss-army-tank-r42-sh13

That sounds pretty interesting, never looked into a shifter, I will have to check it out.
Thank you for the suggestion!

That shiftertank sucks until lvl 51+ when you get leg form focus and can read an epode. Until then you're better off not shifting and considering your low str+dex you won't hit anything. So that is not fun until later and even then soloing with tank sucks.
I'd say get a Rakshasa or use that Pharlan (cha bonus and BUR race so you'd need just one Rad Gen book to upgrade later) and build a sorc.

Is leveling a sorc hard, and how would I go through leveling?

For the build i have suggested Ranger/Shifter there is no epode, But yes before lvl 50 it can be not so easy to on LL runs but over this it become more and more effective and fun to play. Also you need to keep in mind this build is mostly a melee not a caster type who use in majority his forms special power. My best one is the Risen Lord who can insta kill a lot of mobs on hit, but also with the lezardfolk form who at first can weak the mobs on elements dmg, even with the Harpy he can also curse the mobs. Or the Kenku who can in some situation use his bow for range attack. Well to say it,s kind of a universal warrior.

That shifter tank is my build and I'd have to agree with Simp -- I don't think there's a tank build that can solo most or all of the server....for that you'll have to go with a caster or ability mage.

I think I am going to lean towards a sorc and give that a go.
A shifter sounds really fun to play and by looking at some of the builds, it looks very interesting, but I'm gonna wait on that for a reinc or when I learn the game a bit more.
Thank you guys, I appreciate the help!

WEll i can say with my ranger shifter who is lvl 72 and demi x1 now, i have and this before to hit demi, solo Dachy, Desert, DB, Myco, Beholder, Toyshop ( but a helper for the levers to enter boss room ), URO, Tragidore. And since demi x1 Sissy ( Kind a lot risky to solo sissy without to be demi).
I didnt try : Elem Planes ( but this surely not a problem ), Delv, Thid ( witch need helper for open portals), Locathan, PoM.
For on sissy with Bashee form using wail she do devastation in rank of squids, including casters, for the golems they need to be kill with melee forms.
For on Myco it's is cake and what i didnt think a lot more quick then i have think this could be.
For URO there not realy problems there if you have the correct gears ( switching asmo armor and plode armor depending the area)
The most annoying it's when you have to switch weapons, you need to unshift for this, what can be a pain, or for when you want to use pearl, rez scrolls on a dead party member, well all items except pots.
Sure this need some adaptation, a good knowledge of the run, use startegys.

Wow, that's pretty impressive...I use it to farm Sissy and Desert but didn't think it would do that well by itself in URO and Beholders!

At anytime bro i can show you how your build can do on thoses runs. As for my second one he will be at lvl 50 in a few and like i said on this one i have invest points in Animal empathy to have better hit with the forms spells ability.

Tomaan Klaa look bro, this is your build Ranger/Shifter stats from the Nessus run we just did
