I would like to know everything to increase initiative.

[Sephiroth]

Any classes,feats, skills, stats etc would be great.

Soloing is nice as long as you can at least act first.

saint, hare famillar, improved initiative. Although you don't need any of it to solo. What you need is animate dead and running like a ♥♥♥♥♥ for the 1st round if you lost initiative.

Thank you.

I forget what class it was but I saw a class that got something else to improve initiative. I will report back if I find it.

Thanks you 2 I am going to take a look at those.

[rakshasa72]

sword saint also allows you to take 20 on initiative rolls

[haplok]

Yes.
....at level 19.
And provided that you don't multiclass much (1 level dip max).

[InEffect]

if saint did get spells at 19 I'd go for it. As is it's not worth it.

[haplok]

Eh, not sure. Getting flat footed on combat start sucks. You can eat a lot of damage then. Sure you can run away (not really in a party - unless the whole party runs) and/or summon meatshields plus CC zones (in a party) but I prefer to charge right in and start dropping surprised enemies instead.

[InEffect]

I just don't feel investing so much into something that can be circumvented in a number of ways is worth it. Let summons eat the alpha strike. Kill everything. Repeat.

[haplok]

Yeah, well, the difference is I don't generally play on Unfair. And consequently don't use summons. They would just slow me down.

I want to charge that Wild Hunt Monarch immediately with my main char, before he can possibly use some dispells, heals. And to make him eat counterattacks if he does cast a spell. Before he summons reinforcements - or to make them vanish ASAP. And to avoid regeneration on other Wild Hunts.
But to do this immediately and alone I need either Uncanny Dodge or Perfect Reflexes.

Asks for ideas to improve initiative. Then complains about the ideas offered...

Also Hare Familiar is +4 initiative I think.

I have not made a single complaint I actually said "thank you" to the people who gave me some ideas....

Tip: may be read the person name who created the thread then look at the complaints you are talking about and see they are not the same person.
