Hymm is currently at level 16 with 17 banked and the life is going pretty well. The only upset was when I ran Foundation of Discord with Rach, and decided to jump in the hole with Patrick the Maniacal and his earth elementals while Rach went to answer the door….. yeah that wasn’t the best idea I’ve had 😛
Waiting for ‘mommy’ in Mired in Kobolds
Anyway, both Evennote & Erdique said the build sounded interesting, so for a laugh I’ve decided to post it (not something I usually bother with). It’s probably not the most effective build, but it is fun so far 🙂

Don’t take too much notice of the spells. The only ones I think are important are blur, displacement & invisibility. I also think I should have put more (i.e. some!) points in Perform. I could start adding them now, but as I have my bard levels already it would be costly. Since I tend not to bother LR’ing mistakes (unless they are really REALLY bad!) out of a build, as I’m not staying in this life for long, I’ll probably just cope.
I also suspect I may reset his enhancements after level 20 & use a buckler rather than a rune arm. Maybe….
Other Stuff
This weekend we ran some Crystal Cove with the guild as some of us wanted a few pieces of level 24 gear. I have so much stuff left over from previous years, I only really need the new gems. We had some good runs and a lot of fun.
Planking bladeforged…
Farming map pieces in Kobold Assault
Have fun, see you around!

Kobald assault!
You know you love it! 😛
You jumped into the pit with Patrick the Maniacal? On a ranged toon???? They say there is a fine line between bravery and foolishness – I think you may have crossed it…several times.
😉
{Oh, and “tactical detonation”, baby! At least in heroic content.}
😉
Ah but he’s all about the swashbuckling! (And I’d forgotten about using a crossbow…)
Hehehe. I have yet to try buckling my swashes in DDO.
😉
Reblogged this on DDOCentral.
I’m glad you are having fun the with build!! LOL, yeah Patrick the Maniacal is a pain solo, I feel your pain there!!
