[Eder Fighter Build] - The Wall

[kronozord]

Because this is my first time playing this game, I followed the game recommendation ad selected Edér as a pure Fighter.

Most of the builds that I searched use him as a Fighter/Rogue so I thought It would be useful to do a build with him as a single fighter.

How to play:

Have someone buff his accuracy if you want him hitting anything until he can access Inspired Discipline.

Make him draw all the aggro from the enemy and use the large shield modal to reduce the damage from reflex, after that use your mages AOE spells that opposes reflex to nuke everyone from orbit.

 

 

 

*If you have the right equipment and upgrades, you can reach 6 engagements per fight, so if you think the two extras (and the damage reduction) from Guardian Stance aren't needed you can replace it with Hold the Line so you can use other fighter stances.

I suggest to you to consider at level 19 or 20 to pick Prestige instead of Bear fortitude, you will benefit from the acc. bonus for some abilities and Eder already have a nice fortitude.

Also, Cadhu Scalth' Soul Smite with 20 Metaphysics is great :

Of course, with Eder, the duration will be shorter than.

Hi.

Im already selecting Prestige at level 19.

I played Eder as a SC fighter as well. I would have missed Mule Kick and Unbending, but I like your reflex strategy.

Cool weapon choices. I used Mohora Tanga as my 3rd weapon for the Gaff attack. It's like a free "Into the Fray".

Isn't that 1/rest?

Why, yes it is. I was pulling big groups with the Thundercrack Pistol's Conductive Blast (also 1/rest), then Gaff, to focus all the aggro on my tank. Then I'd switch to a main weapon and get engagement. This was pretty situational, so the per rest didn't matter that much. I also had "Into the Fray" as a skill, but this one doesn't cost any discipline.

If you want to maintain those abilities i would ditch Combat Focus, Reaping the Whirlwind and/or Mob Stance.

Most fighter abilities have low action time anyway, the +1 discipline from RTW probably doesn't make any difference and mob stance is situational.
