This is my first character that I have completed the main quest line with (at least as far as it goes currently) - thinking of going Priest next to improve the wisdom casting and to get light of life but want to get more points in focus (so far havn't put in any stat points in dex - all extras have come from focus). Went through Warrior first to get accurate strike (needed earlier on since I wasn't raising dex at all) and combat feated accurate strike is still my main mele attack method although I'm going to change that to dual strike next level for the 4x damages. I did waste some AP in Kensai as I don't really use Scorpians Tale, Lightning Strike or Finish Him, but Iajutsu is great (wish I'd got counter strike with Warrior and may go back and get it later). Anyway I've probably made some terrible mistakes to get here (it was certainly difficult getting the charcter through the late teens early 20's and I only survived by good luck and extreme careful play) so any comments on improving the build will be appreciated.

[Variaz]

I think this is a nice character in terms of abilities, stats and skills. Some mistakes as you mentionned, but overall it seems pretty good.

The equipment, on the other hand, is starting to get a bit obsolete. 3d7 base damages starts getting low at 40+ depth, you should think about replacing that weapon. Your main body armor is getting old as well, you'll need a much better armor if you want to survive, because enemies starts getting much stronger and avoiding their hits is key to survival. Although I suppose you need light armor for Kensai's abilities... hmmm... In the next build, you'll benefit more from blocking with strength and dex, so you'll be able to use swords blocking to make up for lower AC, though you'll need higher dex/strength. Magic Defense is nice though.

Overall, pretty nice character. Just watch out for your equipment!

[khan]

I know the damages from Aria's sword are beginning to get a bit low, but it's hard to give up a weapon youv'e worked up to L27. I've been trying to get better body armour but it's hard when your restricted to soft body armours. With the latest version (nerfed combat) I wont need so many points in combat feats so I'll put some tweak points in strength. More AP in focus should take care of dex.

[Gando]

Sorry I didnt notice this sooner or Id have commented already.

Aside from the ability mistakes your biggest weakness is low AC so I recommend you raise Martial Arts a bit to get the synergy benefit from Agility.

Otherwise this character looks ok. Your equip is a little weak but thats ok you will get better peices as you play more. 0 death count for your first time all the way through is impressive.

This build type is one of my favorites, as it gives you decent stats for melee and also wis caster prowess.
I usually add in Priest or Soul Guardian to take advantage of the higher wisdom. and I skip Warrior altogether in favor of monk because that class is quite good for starting off (you never need worry about dying early with monk because the equip loss wont matter.)

Anyway glad you enjoyed it.

[khan]

Thanks for the comments, the 0 death count does hide a HOST of abondoned charcters before this point (and I run away a lot, try to stay near jump gates or stairs etc.) I'm going to try to do a few random dungeon descends next and not worry about dying as all my equipment (except the crystal) are eternal.

Wow, no idea what this one is... Did you set an option? Or is it just yet another remnant of some old code?

[khan]

Its in the options - not sure it makes any difference.

[grindorin]

It is one of the options in the '5' group. I'm not sure it makes much difference in this Band variant, but in some it does. Without this option set, mobs will intentionally lurk around corners, avoid entering open rooms, and some other evil behaviors I can't recall at the moment.
