I made some minor modifications to suit my style and what a fun build to play. Absolute heroic crusher. Running on Solo Elite to test but could easily Solo Reaper 1 and I haven't even really bothered to gear it. I'm at 9 and still haven't bothered to find weapons. The Shadowblades are working fine. Really fun build, thanks Strim!
Been playing an Undead EK wiz 17/ rogue 3 build for racial/epic PLs using Q-staves (I far prefer the full THF line than the TWF line) . Works very well especially at 18 when you can equip a sentient Bonecrusher. I suspect the full wiz or sorc would work better at cap but for leveling ... no thx. Nice video, gonna have to try this sometime when I feel like taking it slow and actually have some decent epic gear.
Another interesting build and entertaining video... did you consider replacing the 13AP in VKF and putting them into FS for the permanent extra +15% fire bypass? I guess its always about trade-off.
Love this build Strim.. definately going to go for when I get to my Tiefling lives. Quick Question though - you mentioned a Half orc sorc build? That's something I would love to play - is there a build guide somewhere?
Hey Strim, I'm debating between this build and something similar, but SWF Teifling warlock instead. I've got class completionist (with triple lives in melee classes but not caster) and some epic lives. I'm looking for something that would be fun/easy to level with, and would be good in low to mid reapers. For the warlock, I'd end up going Primal avatar for the AOE heals/fire damage and the stance, with Exalted as secondary for targeted heals and possibly more alignment damage. Between those two options, which would you say is better/smoother for leveling if I wanted to play through the game as mostly melee with spellcasting as the backup? Also for the warlock, is Tiefling with fire the best choice, or would another pact generally be better?
Tiefling with fire can be a good choice, but if going melee you are likely to not have DCs high enough to always land the pact damage so you can do a fairly good job with any pact. I would say the warlock would be better for parking at cap just because it is an easier build with better survivability. Less damage, but the temp HP and tankiness of enlightened spirit do the rest of the work for you.
It's based on number of targets hit. So hitting one target with a spell will only give 1 stack, no matter how many time a spell hits. But if you hit 3 different targets you get 3 stacks.

Yes, the cast speed and extra spellpower. The cast speed means that you have less downtime on melee attacks, and melee attacks are like 90% of your damage. You can play wizard but you have slower cast speed, -4 casting stat (4 charisma from tiefling vs 0 int), and less spellpower and fire spell caster levels.
@@Strimtom Do sorc/wiz get spellpowrr inherently? It looks like the only difference in the trees is the 1 point in fire savant. Haven't been able to find an answer to this on wiki!
Wow, that is a VERY low damage build. Of course it looks fine when grouping with top tier casters. This build has low damage, low defenses and no CC as a melee. This is one of the worst builds I have seen.
@@Strimtom This build : - Poor high reaper solo potential - Low defenses and bad self-heal therefore cannot tank or offtank anything at high reaper - Cannot CC - No AOE - Damage is on the lower end compared to any caster. Sure, it can work in a group stacked with casters, just like ANY other builds. Most casters can easily solo R6-R8, plus they have great self-heal, CC, burst damage and defensive mobility. Your build has nothing to offer except for average DPS. There is no reason to roll this build except for fun. If you want to highlight how great a build it, showcase it in a solo high reaper (at least R6) dungeon, otherwise there is no point.
@@etienneb.6956 while i agree his build isnt that good, you cant just compare ek melee to a caster. apples to oranges. that said, there are viable high reaper ek melee builds that use actually good weapons with more damage in other places as well as aoe from sdk. building a single target machine ek for raids is also a thing. not everything needs uber aoe dps.
@@etienneb.6956 you seem like you’re fun to play with… if this is one of the worst builds you’ve seen you must not play PUGs. the build isn’t meant to be soloing higher reapers or maximize damage. and it def isn’t meant to be self healing on r10 😭. if you want that play a paladin or an alchemist or something
@@JahanMisra So it's nothing more than a pure flavor build. I see. There are no objective advantage to this build aside from unquantifiable fun. You cannot self-heal on R10 with a paladin btw. Even R6 the self-healing will be tight.

Glad to see I’m not the only one making a build around those kamas! Though mine is a Druid/monk in fire elemental

Also, you can wield ToEE weaponry during the leveling process too.
I already ran a EK Wizard, and the damage is real nice.
Can EK work as ranged?
@@KortovElphame yep. really good with inquis actually.

I was doing that initially and found the attack speed to be more relevant most of the time.
Another excellent build guide. :)

i want that build idea as thf version.

Hmm.. It's weirdly tempting to make a monstrous hybrid of this character and the flame blade Ranger 😅
15:10 Meteor swarm only gives my EK wizard one stack per spellcast because it, and arcane warrior is on a cooldown of a second. Is sorcerer different?
It's based on number of targets hit. So hitting one target with a spell will only give 1 stack, no matter how many time a spell hits. But if you hit 3 different targets you get 3 stacks.
I would have taken the bonus prr and mrr when shield/nightshield are up, from feydark
It is a good idea, I usually go for more damage but that is also a good option.
@@Strimtom if you happen to have more racial PLs you can do both.
Flameo Hotman!
hey, how to disable the fire elemental appearance ?
In options, under gameplay, turn off character overlay effects
@@Strimtom thanks man ! Now I can see myself again lmao
🤔 does the fire vulnerability from the kamas stack with henshin's fire vulnerability?
Yes!
This ain’t a bad idea , the thing is you would have to keep up with good gear to dish out those good dmg stats.
You should probably put somewhere in the title what game you're even talking about. Over a minute in and I'm still not sure.

@@TotallyTribal The savant tree adds 10 spellpower, and if you have more racial points you can gain even more
@@Strimtom Ok awesome, I appreciate the responses!
no wizard is better imo. more feats and go harper agent trance but str based
Is it possible to run sentience on both weapons? mmmm..feeding two would be a challenge.
Sentience only works on main hand weapons /only one at a time.
Wow, that is a VERY low damage build. Of course it looks fine when grouping with top tier casters. This build has low damage, low defenses and no CC as a melee. This is one of the worst builds I have seen.
The footage is in reaper 10, so damage is reduced by 83% in the video.
