Dual-Wield Rhek Stormlord

[Deleted]

This is an initial attempt at building a duel-wield, DEX based toon. Something I've never done before. I feel there are two variant's of Stormlord (damage vs support) like other builders have mentioned. This is my attempt at a toon which is a bit more damage focused.

I would love any and all feedback. I'd love to get this toon to a place where it could be built and viable. After some discussion on Discord with fellow members of the community it seems like the benefits of a Stormlord vs other things make the class irrelevant. Things like a Stormlash does it better. 

The goal here is to make an effective Stormlord with those other facets aside, recognizing that there are a handful of things which truly make this quasiclass irrelevant (Stormlash a primary example).


Concerns / Questions:

1) I show the AB hitting 97 per weapon. This feels bad. Did I math wrong?
2) Will I get smoked by kickback?
3) Any ideas on how to fix my conceal?
4) Is this viable?
5) Dependency on an IC/PC augmenter, as well as an OC/DC augmented item. Also, XR weapons.

Anyone willing to give some feedback would be greatly appreciated.

You appear to be missing Extend Spell?

[Deleted]

Yes. You’re right. Some of the feedback I have received is that the AB is a tad low. Running up against the barriers of XR optimization and Half-Storm Archon does a lot of what I am trying here more efficiently.

Missing extend spell is definitely something which is also true and after looking at the Stormlord abilities, that’s kind of a massive deal.

Thoughts on steps forward are:

1) Remove the Two Weapon fighting line (3 feats)

Or

2) Drop Transmutation (3 feats)

Or

3) Drop Conjuration entirely (6 feats)

And then with whatever change, focus on 1H plus XR torch for sneaks and flurries. I don’t yet know enough about DEX based toons and 1H vs dual to feel confident in a course of action yet. Thank you for your feedback. Anyone with thoughts please do share!

[desocupado]

Transmutation would seem like the logical thing to drop.
Dual wield and lsk conjuration makes too much sense together.

Still having low ab sort of defeats the purpose of dual wielding.

Kickback might be less of an issue due restoration font. Still, you better get good randomization resistances.

Returning to this now I have Rhek myself I believe you should take 3 BG and 2 Monk to fully benefit from the AB boost associated with Divine Power (Storm of Vengance), At CL41, increases Legendary BAB to that of a fighter if the caster has at least three levels in 1/1 BAB classes, effectively three more AB while under the effects.

It also looks like Great Wisdom I takes Wisdom from 19 to 20 I would swap it one one of the 3 LSA(Listen being my choice from the list) feats for Extend Spell.
