Theosupus Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) The Imperial Fanatic This is another thematic build (so not 100% min/max). It ends up being tank enough to just run into the fray (with support) and most of boss fights were WAY easier than they should have been because of the amount of crits I could pump out with Last Word silencing the mobs. I just wanted to make a Warrior Priest and this was the result. It was a really fun toon to play that was resistant to every affliction and I even got the party efficient enough that I could let my custom AI run almost all the fights (with a little micro for consumables and empowers). Last word locking down Concelhaut for the whole fight was HILARIOUS Game Version: 2.0 Difficulty: PotD (+all Upscale, no mods) Solo: Untested Race: Human Class: Fanatic [berserker/Bleakwalker] Home: The Living Lands Background: Explorer Stats: (not including blessings) Mig: 20 Con: 10 Dex: 16 Per: 16 Int: 12 Res: 4 Skills: Active: Split Alchemy : Athletics Passive: History Abilities: Frenzy FoD Sworn enemy Deep faith Blooded Thick skin Zealous aura Two weapon style Divine purpose One stands alone Eternal Devotion Bloodlust Sworn rival Blood frenzy Exalted focus Mental fortress Inspired path Interrupting blows Scion of flame Iron gut or Clear head (based on which enchant you put on DoC BP) Righteous Soul Brute force Virtuous Triumph Barbaric blow Barbaric smash Retribution Bloodthirst Equipment Main weapon: Magran’s favor + Last Word (used lastword + bardatto’s until I could get Resounding call, double hammer so win on looks, until I could get the axe) Backup weapons: Glacierbane + Last Word Heaven’s Cacophony Charm of Bones Devil of Caroc BP (plan the resistance to complement ability choice) Ring of greater regen Ring of Focused Flame Boots of the stone The Giftbearer’s Cloth Boltcatchers Gwyn’s bridal garter Pet: Nalvi (Used Abraham until I got Nalvi) Edited August 23, 2018 by Theosupus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theosupus Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 I spent most of the game double hammer, all the way across. It was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendingo Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I must have missed this one when first posted. Thanks for linking to it in the other thread. I'll try this build out in my next run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeroer Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 That may explain it. It also says "character" build instead of class build and I usually search for [CLASS BUILD]. Not that character build is wrong or so. I just didn't check that combo I guess. Will put it in when I'm home!

Lampros Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) This build seriously sounds more like Valten (who was dualwield warhammers in some iterations of WFB) than Luthor Huss - whom I assume the picture depicts. And the Bleakwalker is definitely not the right RP angle! But a fascinating build; I did not realize that a Barbarian can reach such high crit rate. I will definitely try this build in the future.

I ran with: Tekehu Xoti (with gear slightly modified) Eder (as a rogue w/ dual mortars) Last slot floated between Serafen and Maia (with slight gear adjusts) until the final quest when I lost Maia. So between the frenzy hit>crit and all the buffs he was a crit machine that synergized with full attack spamming and Last word rather well.

Faster DPS/CC-wise, wouldn't this even work better with Fighter/Barbarian? But I guess you didn't want to lose the static defenses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess you didn't want to lose the static defenses? FoD then finish mobs off with barbaric smash (Refund rage on kill) with a possibility to refund zeal on kill (later on with Virtuous Triumph). Between the two refund skills I never ran out of resources on non-boss fights (and they are both full attacks). I wanted the hardiness of the Pally to make up for the zerker's squishiness (and I wanted at least one pally aura for the group as well) and "Fanatic" is exactly what I think of when I think of the Warrior Priests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds about right I am going to start a game with this build in a few hours. It's going to have to be a 2 off-tank front-line with Holy Slayer.

Lampros Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 P.S. You don't use some form of a jump/run skill to quickly close with a caster and take them down? (I use Charge and Shadow Step a lot, and Barbarians have a version of these, too, no?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I use Charge and Shadow Step a lot, and Barbarians have a version of these, too, no?) Serafen or Maia killed the casters. Serafen was my quick reaction jumper as needed (and maia just shot people to death fast). I'd either send this guy at the biggest baddie on the screen or let the AI pick for him.

Moritsuna Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Hello, this build doesn't have savage defiance or lay on hands? Do you just rely on companions for healing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you just rely on companions for healing? Yes, when needed (which was rare), I used companions or consumables. I had Tekehu and Xoti on my run through.
