Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

Actually I'm not THAT sleepy yet.

i've done the f/wm/fb route, and the f/wm/temp/wd approach, and also the sword and board. i personally prefer the sword and board. the ac and defensive feats make a big difference

My own WM/FB is in the 45-50 AC range so there's no real low survivability if built well and well equiped. But he's a 2-hander.



I just made another build with EDM, Greater TWF, and weapon master.

Very low HP and poor defence, but we're talking about damage here, right?

Seems nice. Can get higher with buffs and better scimtars.


AC would look like

10
1 (dodge)
3 (Tempest)
3 (Tumble)
5 (Dex)
5 (Mythral BP)
4 (Natural)
4 (Deflection)
3 (Dodge boots)
---
38

6 (IMA wand)
4 (Shield wand)
--
48

Which isn't SO bad, even if it's low compared to two-handers, or to a build less focused on damage but still a TWF.

I can think of a few tweaks with this build that would allow you to trade 6 damage for 6 AC, and 6 damage for 3 more AC, which would mean -12 damage +9 AC, which is a good trade in case you want it this way.

There is also a way to put in Divine shield. Would have to play with the build a bit. Anyway, you can raise that AC to over 60 easily for just a 12 damage less and perhaps two little AB.

I can't say I've ever seen a duel scythe build.
I've seen things like people using a greatsword and greataxe and a few combos like that.

Duel Scythe seems to cheesy to me.

That sounds pretty.

I had an idea for a WM/Figher/Frenzied/Bard - Dwarf, duel wielding dwarven waraxe the dmg output was 120 on crits.

Build I posted up there are over 120 dmg on crits even if x3, but instead of the 17-20 of the dwarven axe, it's 13-20.

If you plan to play a dwarf though it's a very nice build RP-wise. (:

On this PW, you can hit 45 AC easy enough with 2h and 90% of mobs cannot hit that other than on 20s. Defensive feats? WMs have CE available. Off the top of my head I cannot think of that many feats oriented on improving AC aside from LoH and that epic one.

I have little experience with solo melee variants, but for team-oriented fights, on Valshar I loved to team up with Mastersilke's Drow F/BG/WM/FB, 2h EDM no-nonsense killer (Istran No'quil, I believe). With my arcane buffs (and haste), and divine ones (Winddancer's FS), it was an unstoppable war machine.

passi is talkin about defense through umd/wands/scrolls. it works, but gets expensive, and tedious

mobs roll a lot of 20s imo, so ac and other defenses are key

all personal preference. luna if you want the most damage output f/wm/fb is the way to go. dual wield builds give a tad less damage and a tad more defense. sword and board is the least damage, respectable damage, but not great, but the defense is better

pm sent with the dual wield build I have used
