BladeForged Improvements and Gear

[Stab]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to Improve STAB and I would like your opinions on how I can do that.

STAB is a melee, two handed Bladeforged. Started as a Barbarian but I am not sure if he will end up as one. I like how the BladeForged can Solo epic Elite (not yet R1 for me) and self heal.

What I want to improve (with gear only. I am aware that I need a lot more TRs)
1. DPS
2. Dire Charge DC (right now at 105 @lvl_30 self buffed with divine might)
3. staying alive for more.

Gear.
Gear Wise I have two Ravenloft sets active
Adherent of the mists and Crypt Raider

Cannith crafted are a Belt and a ring
For the ring I am thinking of going towards a slavers
Slavers_ring
Prefix: Sheltering +45
Suffix: Reconstruct 185
Extra: Intimidate 22
Bonus: Quality MRR +11
this will give me
extra intimidate
better self heal (right now I self reconstruct for 246 in 4 skulls)
a lot more MRR
I could also apply the set bonus
Slave’s Endurance +2 MRR/PRR, +2 Resistance, +2 Spell Saves
But I do not have the materials for that

For the belt I leave it open to play around.

lo Stabby

Crafting should only be used as fillers, would forget for now.

What u want is the part of family set, docent, necklace and gloves.

The bloodrage you use is a must at mo for any 2 hander depending if they change any of the new trinkets, your helm with the +2 reaper stats is also worth keeping.

without raid gear there are a few new options with todays update such as the cloak lesser artefact.

For the remaining items list all the must have abils for a melee and try and get all from Sharn, it is very possible as I designed a gear layout for my barb with 2 slots to spare.

Next step is then look at raid gear to improve such as the G Axe from Projecct Nemesis if barb, G sword from thth is not bad but reflection of Soul is what u want.

Other nice Pally items are: Leg Champ CLoak from Sharn Welcome, new bracers lesser artefact, leg Celest Ruby ring from same old song, Leg Collective sight and a few more.

I saw Tronko’s gear over on the ddo forums, and copying it for ease here:

Helm Legendary Executioner’s Helm (Insightful Deception +7, Relentless Fury, Seeker 17, Quality Combat Mastery +4)
Goggles Legendary Collective Sight (Charisma +21, Insightful Charisma +10, Quality Resistance +4, +20 Quality MRR)
Necklace The Family’s Blessing (Quality Assassinate +2, Insightful Armor-Piercing – 16%, Deadly +17, Doublestrike 24%)
Trinket Bloodrage Chrism (Competence Healing Amplification +83, Calamitous Blows, Bloodrage Defense, Rune-fueled Warding, Unnatural)
Armor Legendary Enforcer’s Coat (+15 Enhancement Bonus, Fortification +214%, Physical Sheltering +54, Competence Healing Amplification +85, Hit Points +81)
Cloak Silver Dragonscale Capelet (Insightful Strength +10, Dodge +21%, Insightful Sheltering +28, Shining Silver Scales)

What I did notice is, I must get the whole gear set first and then swap it out all in one go.

I have no idea how Tronko got his charisma there, He did say completionist and the layout of his enhancements means racials.

what i do notice though is that Tronko is also going for no insightful constitution as well. he does have though all of his reaper enhancements filled. so he doesn’t need to.

the missing resistance item he has he supplements with the Charisma mod which is impressive, but I cannot do.

the standard gear that I will absolutely need is
Eye· · · · · · Legendary Collective Sight
Charisma, ins Charisma, 20 Quality MRR (1/rel lore)

Armor· · · · · Legendary Umbral Soul
Fortification 214, PRR 54, repair amp 85, False life 81

Wrist· · · · · Brand of Kalok Shash
Strength 22, quality accuracy 8, Quality deadly 5, Fire Absorb 53%

Ring · · · · · Legendary Celestial Ruby Ring
Dexterity 21, Stunning 23, Accuracy 33, Ghostly

Gloves · · · · Legendary Hammerfist
ins doublestrike 11, Seeker 21, Ins Deadly 8

Ring · · · · · Legendary Celestial Sapphire Ring
Constitution 21, imp Deception 5, Dodge 21, Profane abilities 2

Neck · · · · · Legendary Family Recruit Sigil
True seeing, Armor piercing 33, deadly 17, relentless Fury

Cloak · · · · Silver Dragonscale Capelet · · · · ins Strength
or
Cloak · · · · Legendary Cloak of the City’s Champion

The Raid cloak I have no idea when I can get that but the Paladin cloak I already have.

Boots and belt stay open for slaver’s crafting.
Slaver’s_BELT
Prefix: Sheltering +45
Suffix: Resistance 14
Extra: Shatter 20
Bonus: Quality Constitution 4

Slaver’s_BOOTS
Prefix: Wisdom 17
Suffix: Reconstruct 185
Extra: Intimidate 22
Bonus: Quality Charisma 4

I am missing

Spell points· · · ·Augment(250)
intelligence· · · ·Augment(8)
FOM · · · · · · · ·(Sireth, which i already have, but not in fights)

In any case it will be a long road and to help me with it I made a slavers ring to help with MRR which is now at 150 and I have seen quite a change in the 3 to 4 skull difficulty we play at.

Slavers_ring
Prefix: Sheltering +45
Suffix: Reconstruct 185
Extra: Intimidate 22
Bonus: Quality MRR +11

If some1 sees something I do not please add your thoughts.
