Here on the Vault the only intresting build I've ever read was the Terror build, and I hardly belive it is as good as you claim

Because we never see people ask for a pally build. 

And I never see noobs on their pure barb running the OS capstone whining that Barb is a bad class. 

I agree "No-Brainer" is rather straightforward. It is named that for a reason. Still it seems newbs tend to gimp DPS for a paltry amount of mitigation by focusing on defender and vanguard.

I post builds regardless of how "obvious" they are. First, because if I'm going to run it, I want to try and optimize it. Once I figure out the way I like it, I want it stored somewhere online so that I can't lose it. Second, since I'm putting it on the net, I might as well post it publicly. This helps newbs be better and is good for the overall health of the game. Also, if I happen to type it wrong or make a suboptimal build choice, someone can point it out. Third, it saves me time if when someone asks me for build advice I can just copy paste a url instead of hand-holding in voice chat or retyping the whole build.

Build #5 Sestra - 14 Paladin, 6 monk. Lawful Good. Elf. Arcane Archer. Fury of the Wild.

I can't go on anymore, its making me sad such a talented player didn't branch out from the evasion/divine grace crutch and make a real build.

I honestly never considered that a build thread because I thought 2 pali 2 monk 16x wasn't something anyone needed help with. But apparently I was wrong.



That's what I consider a real build looks like. It combines classes and abilities in new and unconventional ways, like a non-raged barb, non-casting non-bursting ES warlock, non-kensai non-weapon specialized fighter, doing melee damage in non-LD/DC, TWF with a tower shield equiped. Real builds make up for build weaknesses not by using the evasion/dg crutch that no one needs help with, but by actually building around them, such as using sprints, cleaves, and other movement to make up for tree form slowness, or warlock temporary HP to make up for the inability to cast heals in tree form.


Maybe the druid Riftmaker build was slightly off-center. I shoulda recommended using an SoS as well as an alternate weapon... Someone has to test the theory so we will know how good it is. I'm guessing the x7-8 vorpals on Supreme Cleave in wolf form with balanced attacks and combat brute doubling damage again is going to do some awesome spike damage.

knn, why you letting dis fagg parody you? If I were you I'd slap the shit out of him.

Coming from the person surgically attached to the 2 monk 2 pali teat, that's rich.

Besides, it's immensely challenging pulling to red alert, and avoiding getting dazed with strategic use of sprints and wings and movement while continuing to pull to see how few fights you can kill an entire dungeon in. Do you have any idea how hard it is to open a door with 30 mobs beating on your back?

Oh honey why are you going down so fast? I just mentioned you because in another post Nubbins mentioned your barb build. And if you are posting that kind of basic stuff here because people ask and blabla, it doesn't make the Vault great, it just makes it a forum for newbies/noobs... than it's a fucking forums for noobs.

YOU GUYS CAN'T GET THE POINT?? THIS IS AN UNDERGOUND FORUM, IT SHOULD BE EXCEPTED VERY COMPLEX SHIT HERE

The builds that made a huge impact on the game were all in the mobos and not here. Sithali's builds, Juggernaut, Cetus and so on. Of course today the passed classes are very basic, jsut obvious feats and done, but even today the best builds come from mobos. In fact there is not a single build from the vault I would ever consider doing, but there are many from the mother boards. And no people didn't start doing bugged wolves because it was posted here someday, in fact since the first day Lamma was open it was stated in the Lama thread it was bugged.

Only intresting thing in the vault used to be the exploits, but there aren't any really good exploits for some years now. Without the exploits these forums are only a bunch old school idiots who think you are better than everyone but can't get shit done in game.

- No it wasn't. Since the first day you could buy swf in lamma it was already there, but maybe they deleted and you think they posted it here first. Saying everyone uses that build is just as idiotic as saying every barb uses Zodaroth's build.

- Why do you care? My point is that the level of the Vault is very basic, no better than the mother boards, or maybe even more basic. You don't see any advanced stuff here, while you see sometimes there. His ranged builds were better than most of the shit you could find here at the time.
