A terrible idea (20 BB / 6 F / 4 Ro)

Post by a shrouded figure » Fri Sep 04, 2020 8:22 pm

So this one is just dumb... but it crossed my mind so I built it. You may need a bard friend to equip Elder Dream- not 100% sure if I have enough. Goal was to maximize DI and DR while still having damage output. I think it worked but may be the worst build ever. Prolly worth dropping resist damage for Save Feats or something like that.

Dont forget you can enchant gear with 5% elemental immunities, they stack with each other.
With that said, Dwarven Defender may also be an option, instead of barbarian.

Forgot about the enchantments, that’s a good idea lol.

as much as I love DD, their damage is just a bit anemic and defensive stance falls under the “clunky” category for me lol.
