Critique my build

[KipDrasic]

Master Brawler, Master TK, Master Fencer, Pikeman xx4x (for the defensE) Swordsman 3x2x

Is this just going to be a PVE tank with a group?

It's tough to recommend or critique builds without knowing what you're shooting for. In my opinion, this build has lots of defense and melee mitigation 3 but lacks any ranged mitigation and high damage output.

[KipDrasic]

I'd mainly like to solo PVE high end stuff.

[jasonh]

I'd look into a swords/doc or Swords/CM template. You could also get creative with a swords/commando template. You'll want melee mitigation to soften the hits from nastier critters, and likely some method to lower resists of mobs. You should be aware that most high-end content has been changed so that it is not soloable.

[KipDrasic]

What near high end stuff is soloable?

My guild is planning to do DWB sometime in the next few days so I want to prepare for that? Is the above stack that I mentioned at least feasible to help with that endeavor?

Edit. They suggested a stack to do for the DWB. TKM, Master Fencer, and Master Pikeman.

I wanna make a Tankbeast...

... and thats what i decided might be viable:

TKM - Brawler 4400 - Fencer 4440 - Pistoleer 2040 - Medic 3040

0/250 SP left

Offers: Capped Melee Def (+131 vs +125), almost Capped Ranged def (+116 vs +125), Def vs. KD +120, Blind +90, Dizzy +85 and so on... so Def seems pretty good

Dodge is capped too, with +130

And it allows to use FirstAid and StimEs effectively (enough)

Thoughts?

While defensive acuity may allow TKM to dodge attacks I assumed it was only Fencer and Pistoleer that Dodge skill mod helps.

I could be wrong /shrug

Dodge wont come into play if you are holding a unarmed weapon.

[benito]

Oh, damn... i did not know that

Which gives me some more possibilities for other skills like Def. vs. or a bit more ranged Def for Cap i guess

Thanks for info!

[benito]

So, since Dodge skill is useless:

Instead of Pistoleer 2040 and Medic 3040 i would go for Pistoleer 0040 and Medic 3340

250/250 Skillpoints spend

Complete Build will be:

TKM, Brawler 4400, Fencer 4440, Marksman 0400, Pistoleer 0040, Medic 3340

Without any SEA:

vs. Blind +90 - vs. Dizzy +85 - vs. Intim +20 - vs. KD +120 - vs. PC(down) +100 - vs. Stun +55
Melee Def. +131 - Ranged Def. +116


Stim E usable, FA usable, IT/ITS +50...

Sounds fun and beasty

Will report when i finished and tested it... gimme a few weeks for that though

You might want to just Master both TK and Fencer so that you can get the combat equilibrium. That will bump your melee/ranged def up to 136 and 116 and give you the ability to switch to fencer weapon if you need to.
