Perfecting this build to a server will drive you mad. As a can you want to be hit but not so often you die and there's nothing worse than getting to the end game and you can't hit anything. The key is to balance endgame AC and endgame AB. Max out PM in any build for the Slippery variants. Some would argue pal at 29 for epic mob saves to help level. PM/Sorc/Pal char/con - requires alignment shift -take PM late build (29-39) pal at 40 PM/Wiz/Barb int/con - insane w/sword & board, and auto still and empowered shield spells, then there's the epic spells, Epic Spell Focus Abjuration Insane Can: (CE, because he's insane) aka. I suppose a good question is: What environment are you planning on playing said 'strongest build' in? Or were you just generally curious?Ĭoncept is to stock heals, wade in and swing, anything hitting you gets damaged. Arcane casters get access to High level Dispel, Spell Mantles and Bigby Hands, which generally gives them the upper hand over Clerics in PvP Duels. They also boast the highest 'spell damage' potential out of any caster, sporting spells like Harm, Blade Barrier, and potentially Creeping Doom.īut. A cleric can be built into pretty much every style of character, and will perform reasonably well at all levels regardless of their stats thanks to the bajillion buffs they receive. Īt the very least, if you're after the strongest 'base class' in the game, then it's Cleric with no contest.
If you're after a comparison as to whether melee builds or caster builds could 'deal more damage' however: Generally speaking, casters are good at burst damage, whereas melee characters are better at DPS.
Is it level 20? Level 40? Is it neither? Low Magic? High Magic? Contains CEP content that changes how classes function? The list goes on. Most powerful nwn 1 build? Depends a lot on what the world environment is around the build. I’d say only Cleric PM’s get close, mainly due to the fact that they can heal themselves.ĭon’t forget Epic Dodge Dex Weaponmasters! Ft 8 Wm 19 Rge 13 (high ab, ED), and Rogue 19 Ft 14 WM 7 (mid ab, self conceal 5, ED) can both be extraordinarily strong with top tier magic items. In a pure statstick pvp duel, it’s hard to beat this build. Fighter gets some extra feats and Weapon Spec, BG gets extra saves and Divine Might / Shield.īard 20 BG 4 PM 16. Arguably the archetype ‘Bardsword Builds’, with max attacks per round, +8 AB/AC from Song and Curse, decent Wounding Whispers for duels, and close to the highest Taunt skill in the game. It’s a cheese Lord, but you can’t doubt it’s effectiveness, especially if Dev Crit is available.īard 25/26 RDD 10 Ft/BG 5/4. I would add Bards into the mix for Medium magic environments, just because they can multiclass so well and bolster their stats quite a bit if they have some mid tier items to provide immunities and boost Perform skill.īard 14 RDD 10 PM 16. It’s my go to ‘Level 40 server’ beginner character, for which I posted a build plan just the other week!Īnother good build that falls into this category is Cleric 35 Fighter 4 Monk 1, which is basically a halfling Caster Zen Archer with ridiculous AB/AC figures and Epic Weapon Spec (With a Xbow or Shortbow), and thus has Archer Damage comparable to a Monk AA (and spells to boot). However they can struggle when facing a large variety of enemies at the same time, and the environment (shifter item stacking, custom shifter changes, available equipment, etc) can make them near useless.Īgreed that Clerics and mages dominate low to medium magic NWN environments.Ĭleric 26 Monk 9 SD 5 is great in low magic environments. My personal favourite powerbuilds are Druid24/Shifter13/Monk3 and Druid28/Shifter10/Monk2, which imo are the strongest 1v1 builds in vanilla NWN. Some level 40 examples: Fighter12/Weapon Master25/Rogue 3, Monk9/Wizard2/Arcane Archer 29, Paladin26/Bard4/Red Dragon Disciple10 (requires alignment changes), Rogue29/Fighter10/Shadow Dancer1 (only if True Seeing has been nerfed). In high-magic worlds or worlds that nerf casters, other builds can be very powerful, although mages and clerics still tend to be top tier builds. There are some other builds that are comparable to them, but for both PvE and PvP mages and clerics are generally the best.Ī few level 40 examples: Cleric26/Bard4/Pale Master10, Cleric26/Bard4/Red Dragon Disciple10, Cleric29/Champion Of Torm10/Monk1, Cleric38/Monk1/Ranger1, Sorcerer36/Paladin3/Monk1, Sorcerer38/Monk1/Paladin1, Wizard29/Pale Master10/Monk1, Wizard38/Monk1/Ranger1. In general, for low-magic and medium-magic vanilla NWN the strongest builds are mages (sorcerers and wizards) and clerics. There isn't a single strongest build in NWN, and the environment (vanilla or customised world, PvE or PvP, maximum level, equipment, etc) plays a huge role in determining the top tier builds.
