blahdee's Bad/Weird/Off-Meta Build Plans

[blahdee]

Putting together my build plans so I can keep my champs separate, and also remember what I'm building them towards.

Heart's Edge Spellblade:​

Build Focus: Critfishing DPS using powers tagged with both [Spell] and [Weapon]
Stat Focus: Strength, Cunning, Presence

Weapon Damage, Crits, and Leadership/Sexiness

Starting: Scholar/Charmer/Lupine
Class: White Mage
Perks: Righteous Fury, Holy Champion

Boosted, free Holy damage

Weapon: Heart's Edge

The key piece, along with extra sexiness and crit chance.

Armor: Pyromancer's Chestplate
Feet: Kunoichi Footwear / Thigh High Leather Boots
Hands: Pyromancer's Gloves
Head: Pyromancer's Hood
Neck: Cultist's Charm / Enchanted Amulet
Rings: Ring of Fortune, White Blossom Ring
Shoulders: Cloak of Winter
Waist: Pyromancer's Kilt
Underwear: Pink Seaweave

Pyromancer's Set turns sexiness into spellpower, so focus armor around Crit and Sexiness. No hornet ring.

Boss Loadout: Flamebrand, Holy Shock, Power Wave, Exploit Weakness, Unbreakable
Splash Damage Loadout: Flamebrand, Searing Arc, Tempest Smite, Smite Evil, Inspiration
Survivability Loadout: Flamebrand, Argent Smite, Shielding Smite, Smite Evil, Inspiration
Companions: Vestal Cait, Kangen Kiyoko

The wiki lists Exploit Weakness as stealable, but only shows Viv as having it. May not be able to use it currently.

Dawnbreak Valkyrie:​

Build Focus: Off-Tank abusing [Weapon Buff] for damage type coverage
Stat Focus: Strength, Presence, Toughness
Starting: Noble Scion / Warrior / Orc

Thorn Tank:​

Build Focus: Main Tank with every "revenge" buff possible
Stat Focus: Toughness, Willpower, Cunning
Starting: Scholar, Warrior, Elf
Class: Warrior

Need the most HP and resistances possible, while building threat so the enemy breaks against me. Then the cat and fox can clean up.

You can steal companion powers if you let the lureling control them during winter wolf iirc. Also, mind if I ask why your spellsword doesn't use charge weapon?

 

[Nynec]

why your spellsword doesn't use charge weapon?

I believe the build is made around getting both heart's edge buffs, charge weapon can't proc both as it doesn't have weapon tag
