I would add Toughness + Revered Focus (for more CA levels of Warding energy since you have concentration) or Toughness + Combat reflexes. Generally, if you didn't take bargaining, EP was a wasted pick in my eyes. Concentration is also a wasted pick if you're not going for revered focus + exalted focus for 2-buff build. Although tactics lore allows you to mod Battle Stance, you need a lot of CA levels in it to effectively reduce the chance to be hit and the chance to reflect and that's hard without a proper focus.

 

This build can surely go to niobium through free play. Campaign-wise, I worry about your seraphim vs. the guardians on gold and platinum. They are tough and they hit like a ten ton truck, but as long as you keep your eye on your HP bar and use the proper relics, you should be fine... I guess.

thanks for the advice I only got 8 skills I got 2 to go I was thinking bargaining and one of them two other skills what do you think would be the better one to pick, Revered Focus or toughness?

thanks for the help.

So thats a bit hard to answer immediately but I'll see what I can do

So it appears your skills are:

- Sword Weapons 1

- Tactics Lore 33 (did you mean 43?)

- Concentration 1

- Constitution 33

- Dual Wield 33

- Enhanced Perception 5

- :)

- :)

- (Skill to learn at L50)

- (Skill to learn at L65)

 

So I'll assume for now that you haven't chosen two skills available to you at your level to make it more convenient for me to talk about it.

 

So the first key to surviving Niobium is to have good defenses. It seems stupid to say, but I personally find that focusing on offense can only take you so far. Eventually you will be swarmed by enemies that hit hard (say, scorpions in the desert) and you'll find you can only kill them so fast. Plan to be able to survive a large number of high damage attacks through either damage mitigation (armor), or by having a high defense or evasion/block%. However, no matter how good your defenses are, eventually the enemy will get lucky and hit you hard a couple times in a row. Plan to be able to survive this eventuality too.

 

You already have the major skill for the second part, constitution. Another skill that is pretty necessary is Armor Lore, as that both improves your armor as well as regen times for your CAs (or to be more accurate, it reduces the regen penalty for your armor). Finally, for Niobium I'd suggest having a bit more depth to your defensive skill selection. Your two main options that I can see would be either going the Combat Refexes route and getting your evasion %s higher, or taking Revered Tech Focus and Warding Energy Lore to make good use of the shielding buff. Shield Lore is often another good choice, but you are dual wielding, so until there is an option to have three arms, you'll have to make do elsewhere.

 

On the CA side of things, I would highly suggest taking Exalted Warrior Focus since you seem to be pretty melee heavy. Yes, tactics lore allows you to mod your exalted warrior CAs, but you won't finish them off until L199 if you don't take the Focus. Further, focus will allow you to both reduce your regen times, and have the CAs at higher levels.

 

Of course, I have only taken two characters to Niobium so far, so YMMV.

Thanks for the writeup. Some people can sum up and chronicle points so clearly for the game. Lots of meat, easy to digest.

 

Good post

To answer the question quickly, I would pick toughness as a last skill and try to work with as much damage mitigation as possible.

Now this is something I haven't yet tried out yet (thus the caveat earlier), but I'm beginning to like the concept. Perhaps a future build for me... :ninja:

 

Oh, and thanks for the compliment, gogo :)
