While wielding a Light or Heavy (non-repeating) Crossbow, your Vorpal hits will knock down targets hit on a natural 20 + confirmation for 6 seconds without a saving throw, as a Great Crossbow. Used judiciously, it easily handles all the major fights between shrines, especially if you also invest in 3 levels of Extra Action Boost. This is a build idea for maximizing Artificers repeating crossbow single-target DPS and is meant for relatively new players. Master Inquisitive: +2 to all Ability Scores. It makes a Great Crossbow shoot almost as fast as a Repeater by eliminating the reload time. Great Crossbows have fallen behind, but are still quite workable, just not 'the best'. Artificers/Repeaters ARE 'front loaded' - strong right out of the gate, and (with Arti class) are still strong thru end game. ![]() Non-repeating crossbows increase this to 3 Sneak Attack dice and also gain +2. Great Crossbow (Rogue, Free-to-play) Inquis is probably the strongest, esp after about Level 15 or so, but is NOT 'front loaded'. If we're talking non-Inquisitive builds: you can't have both Endless Fusillade and Expert Builder, so you need to decide which you're building toward. As would be your combat role as any ranged character, wait for the tanks to engage, Intimidate, and pull aggro first before opening up with the crossbow and spells. Also remember that great xbows get full benefits from Doubleshot, while dual xbows (Inquisitive) and repeaters only get 1/2 or 1/3, respectively. When partying with melee characters, try not to kite monsters away from their melee range, they hate that. Sniper: You gain 1 extra Sneak Attack die with bows, crossbows, and thrown weapons. Improve your burst DPS with Endless Fusillade and/or runearm blasts. I am wondering if it would be good to switch to a greater crossbow during the fusillade then back to a repeater. ![]() Great Crossbows instead gain +2 Competence Bonus to Critical Multiplier. Endless Fusilade: Action Boost: You may activate this ability to enchant your crossbow to instantly reload itself for 18 seconds. Great Crossbows are generally better because of a synergy with Artificers Endless Fusillade (and Inquisitives No Holds Barred, but dont play that build), but both have potential. Both Arti builds also give you Endless Fusillade, which is full-auto mode for repeaters and is probably the most ass-kickiest thing in the game :) If you want a pure free-to-play build, then youre probably looking at 14 Rgr/6 Rog - thats got a little self-healing, Sniper Shot, evasion, int-to-dmg in Mechanic, and IPS autogrant (though you. just know that this was only tested in max level 28, IT WAS NOT TESTED IN HEROICS (15+).This is just a theory craft build, figuring out how to maximize Crit profile with great crossbows as well as have decent auto-crowd control on the vorpal adjustments (not sure if it causes them helpless as I haven't gotten around to hop on LAM, but 5% on hit no save CC is pretty swell)ĮDIT: Trading the 19-20 vorp to get endless fusillade action boostĮxpert Builder: You gain a +1 Competence Bonus to Critical Multiplier with bows, crossbows & thrown weapons. I am open for any critiquing of the build. this is just a little somethin somethin i created during the downtime for the update on lamannia (cause it took the whole day to update and i had to get my fix of ddo). Hello everyone! First build post on here.
