I just read your thread, and it's some good stuff. And I'm one of the odd console players, so I play what we like to call "console HC", and I'm sure you understand the idea behind it. This has been working very well for me so far, but I am only in Gold. Once I hit Plat or Niob, constitution could help, but I'm not sure if it's necessary yet. Will do, just have to finish up looking at my mods I took, but then I'm going to use the wiki to see if I made the best choices.

I thought this build up when I was reading Kaballah's Sariel: Invincible Flying Tankmage Thong Princess!, A do-it-all Seraphim build thread. It is extremely similar but the major changes that you can notice are: 1. More melee focused. In this build, I have added Dual Wield and Tactics Lore into the mix. 2. Dropped Warding Energy. I just can't justify using this when Divine Protection is so powerful. Note: This is my first attempt at a build so please, tell me what you think. If you think a skill should be taken sooner, later, never, or swapped, please tell me! I am open to discussion and changing the build up a little. Attributes: Skills: Tactics Lore : Nothing confusing here, just taking this to beef up the melee damage we will be doing. Dual Wield : It's fun to dual wield! And it can be effective too when paired with the right skills like it is in this build. Exalted Warrior Focus : Pump this HARD. Since I do not incorporate concentration in my build, Battle Stance is my only buff. The higher this skill, the higher the max CA level without penalty we have. Revered Technology Focus : Absolute MUST. This is one skill that helps to make Divine Protection extremely defensive. If you are new to the game or a Seraphim, when you first take this you may think, why in the world would someone want this? Just be patient, it takes time to get to it's full potential. Warding Energy Lore : This is the other skill that pumps Divine Protection. This paired with Rev Tech Focus makes us invincible. Armor Lore : You hardly ever see a build without this, and it's no surprise. It does so much for the character, that I feel naked without it. Celestial Magic Focus : Increasing CA max levels and keeping regens in check. Uses Hallowed Restoration's healing and Radiant Pillar's enemy magnet utility. Celestial Magic Lore : Once again to improve the Combat Arts mentioned in the Focus description. Revered Technology Lore : I am for open for debating on this one. Some say Combat Discipline, some say Lore. I feel like I get more bang for my skill point with the lore. Used to build up Flaring Nova, which can be good to weaken enemies surrounding you. Toughness : We like being tough, right? Right. This is kind of the "OH S&*T" backup skill. Drop it for EP if you want it. Mods: Battle Stance Aggression - Further increases weapon damage output. Drill - Reduces the energy cost of Battle Stance. Retaliation - Small chance to reflect close combat damage. Pelting Strikes Succession - Chance for double hit. Focus - Pelting Strikes requires less energy Precision - Increases the chance to land critical hits. Dashing Alacrity Sprout - Further increases run speed. (Note: I have been told that the attack speed mod doesn't stack with Dual Wield) Delay - Increase the duration of Dashing Alacrity. Impatience - Reduces the cooldown of Dashing Alacrity. Radiant Pillar Hypnosis - Attracts opponents to the center of the pillar. Conserve - Increases duration of Radiant Pillar. Ordeal - Inflicts twice as much damage when the opponent's health has fallen below a threshold value. (Note: I like this mod more, but the other is an acceptable choice.) Hallowed Restoration Recuperation - Temporarily increases the hitpoint regeneration effect. Master Healer - Decreases the regeneration time of this spell. Solidarity - Extends the healing effect to nearby allies. Divine Protection Capacity - Divine Protection lasts 50% longer. Boost - Reduces shield's recharge(cooldown) time. Improved Mirror - Increases the chance to reflect spell damage. Flaring Nova Expand - Increases Flaring Nova's radius. Perplex - Opponents temporarily lose their attack power. (Note: Weak enemies eat more reflection than stunned enemies, and we love reflected damage ) Flux - Increases Flaring Nova's damage. Playstyle: This build isn't for the lazy. First off, my spamming ability is Pelting Strikes. It will mow down enemies. I like to cast Radiant Pillar to draw them in, cast Divine Protection and Dashing Alacrity while Battle Stance is up. When you get up close, drop a Flaring Nova and Pelt until your all alone. A handy tip is get Dashing Alacrity and Divine Protection to outlast their cooldown, this is the center of strength for my build. It's like having 3 buffs without Concentration! With Battle Stance, Dashing Alacrity, and Divine Protection running together, anything that can dent your shield won't live to dent your actual HP. Special thanks to: Kaballah - I first came up with this build when reading his Sariel: Invincible Flying Tankmage Thong Princess!, A do-it-all Seraphim build thread. Barristan - When I posted this build in it's earliest form, his build 'The Archangel' Seraphim build, And the heavens shall tremble.... helped me compare his choices to mine and change some modifications. If you haven't checked out their builds, I would highly recommend clicking! Thanks for the read!

One more question, lol Can I drop ancient magic for bargaining or would that gimp me too much? I don't exactly understand what good AM does for me, sorry lol I'm new

True. Can we have the colors that go with the names atleast so we can tell?

Yes, so basically I'm wondering...Holy Hannah!?

Loving the guide, just wondering, what should I go for first for best results in terms of point placement. I keep tactics=my level but I'm not sure what to do for others in terms of order. I was thinking keep up whatever I need most. Thanks.
