Anyone try one of these builds yet?  Leveling sounds dull, but some of the numbers posted in the videos are pretty sick...

Did you run a build in the planner?  I have 61 levels left for completionist and may wait in case it bogs down.  Looks like someone is soliciting feedback to compare it to the Tukaw. I'm thinking the damage of the Tukaw won't even compare...

Tukaw is more of a PvP build anyways.

Jugs are just monstrous though.

Confirming its usefulness in this game.

I'm leveling the Paladin version. It's actually been really fun, an with the right scrolls, I really haven't had a problem soloing or leveling anything. I farmed out the Lvl 16 version of the Ring of the Master Artificer and then put on the masterful craftsmanship shard, and that gave me a good boost to my repair spells for self healing.

It's a lot like leveling a barb with self heal and self buffs.

What's the reason for the Pally PL?

And the 9 minutes of full BAB? Not sure what the BAB is for an arti, and I'm far too lazy to look it up on the wiki. Not even sure to-hit is an issue for anyone anymore.

Walking through most content. Having a blast. As fun as my AC build

I'm still lost.

Granted feat:  You were a Paladin in a past life. You occasionally find yourself overcome with righteous fervor. Each time you acquire this feat you gain 5% more health when affected by positive energy. (This feat can be stacked up to 3 times, providing an additional 5%, 10% then 15% Healing Amplification)

It's warforged no no need for that.

Purchased feat:  You recall more about your past life as a paladin. You have +2 to your Heal skill, and can invoke Divine Favor upon yourself 3 times per rest. (Activate this paladin ability to call upon the strength and wisdom of a deity to grant a +1 luck bonus on weapon attack and damage. This bonus is increased by +1 for every 3 caster levels beyond level 3, maximum +3 luck bonus. About 2 minutes per use.)

With only 2 pally level it looks like you get a +1 to hit/damage.  I'm just not sure if running thru a whole life of pally is worth it for just that and I don't think spending the feat is either.

I ask because I'm about to TR a ranger into a Jug.  I was gonna do the past life Pally as it says in the forums but it just doean't seem worth it.

All PL feats are based on character level, not class level (class level would make zero sense for what they're intended for).

Even though you get +3/+3, I'll join you in not understanding the point of it though. Pally PL was well worth it when to-hit mattered, but blowing a feat for +3 damage that you have to recast every 2 mins?

This is true, but would you personally go run an entire life just to get it?  I'm going to run one more life thru on her as it's an old bank toon on it's first life.  So I'm wondering if there would be a better PL to do.  Also I've never once rolled a Pally so it could be a learning experience.  I've never rolled a monk either.  It just seems like too much button mashing for either class to make it optimal.

Oh fuck no, I wouldn't. That was just my comment on why people do that.

My mules are paladins. I keep telling myself to TR someone into a paladin for one life, just for the challenge. But havent yet.   

OK so I have to TR once more so what would be the consensus as to what would be the best past life for this build?
