looking for a 1 handed weapon tank/ dps build.

[Zunymitshu]

Basically looking for one of those builds that you can pretty much solo the game with. I'm imagining something like Fiora from league of legends, wouldn't mind if they used magic.

Would also prefer if it only involved 2 classes at most but I can do 3 i guess.

must it be 1 handed specifically?
anyway I ll suggest some builds you take and pick.
Invanorable rager build works up to normal difficulty. does not matter if 1 hander or 2 hander weapon you don't even care if they hit you or not. the idea of the buil;d is that your damage reduction is so high you take no damge, or so little damage everything else dies before you do.

Here is an example I soloed the game up to act 2 on act 3 i paired up with jubilost. you need someone to cast freedom ov movement and negative energy protection for you. the real prohibitory thing to finish the game alone with this build is the sisters that practically 2 shot you with their gaze attacks. normally negative energy protection could stop them. if you don't want jubi or a caster with you you can just use the hammer you get from the troll boss at act 2 it gives you freedom of movement.suggested weapon bastard sword, there is one good greatsword in the game that you can get by killing durag the barbarian shaman cleric of gorum in act 3. unfortunately there are no other good greatswords in the game, there are some nice halbierds or bandishes if you don't want to waste a feat. IF you get your damage reduction to 6 you can practically solo most of act one. try to spare some rage powers for greater beast totem. you can pick rage powers as a fighter if multiclass instead of feats.and the wolf cloak is a great item so you can trip people with your bite attack. also that amulet that has a dmage aura is pretty nice. Problems is his bad spot... finding armags tomb was a pain in the...
build 2 sword saint.

the idea with this build is different than the previous one, here you don't want them to touch you.
the build works great with elves, halfings, humans and aasimars/ thieflings. suggested weapon dueling sword. with this build you buy potions of armor and cast shield on your self/reduce person and expedious retreat. your primary stat is dexterity. but your inteligence needs to be pretty high as well you can dump everything else. This build does not come online till level 3 unless you are human, only humans have enough feats to make it work on level 1. you need fencing grace for this build to start doing damage, if you did not make a human then you need to treat your main character as a sub par wizard till level 3 go in the front and tank let the group kill things till you levell up. Your ac on level 1 though i fyou build it correctly is 30+ (10+6 dex+4mage amor+4 shield+2 size+1 int +1 ring+2 from using a dueling sword. ) your ac will increace by 1 every level until it matches your int modifier. as you see from the picture you can become untouchable, even armag was hitting me on 20. on level 4 you get mirror image so there is literally nothing that can kill you in melee. get a ring of evasion and an order ring that gives freedom of movement. around level 15 when you get those mental perfection crowns just split into a monk level so you can also use monk robes and add your wis or charisma to your AC. you also get a banch of skill points and that allows you to find and dissarm traps.
3rd build straight wizard /sorcerer.
expedious retreat, mage armor shield reduce person, go around gather the whole dungeon drop a web and start spamming firballs till there is nothing left. the same thing you do in world of warcraft for power leveling. you can waste a level in fighter if you like to get eldrich knight as well but not necessary.
4rth build monster tactician.
spellfocus conjuration / augment summoning.
your summons with this build last a minute per level. get a wand of extend spell summon your army that will last for 40 minutes, give them all the teemwork feats in the game, haste them bless them cast a prayer too and watch them kill everything there are also some nice summoner items that give your summons magical weapons and better stats.if you are too bored get a bow too so you can pretend you do something. oh you also get a pet.

Sword Saint 19 / Traditionnal monk 1 or scaled fist 1

Is hard to beat when it come to power level, but they kinda also need a expert level hand to take full advantage of.

[razvedchiki]

a 19 slayer/ 1 traditional monk is also a good build for solo, str but unarmored to get wis to ac/bracers/robe etc. at late game you will hit 60+ ac making it a really good tank.

dmg wise you get sneak attacks,full ab and since you are after 1handers the best 1hander is falcata for its 15x20/3 crit chance (lions claw which you can get mid game).

i see a lot of people recommend this or the scion monk, I'm just not sure what to take for feats to make it work. Also a lot of the things I saw had mods running for these kind of builds.

I do like this idea. Also he gets a pet, right?

[razvedchiki]

you dont need any mod to make them work, mods will add additional tools to use.

nope, slayers dont get pets (rangers/druids/inqui-barb-cleric acrhetypes do).

[InEffect]

Slayer doesn't get mirror. And since we can go irori deliverer monk level is largely wasted. Delivrer12/Archae2/DD4/+2whatever is better if you are dead set on running a slayer. DG3/Deliverer12/Scion1/DD4 also works fine.

thats a little more multiclassing than I care for. Is there a magus type build you would recommend that doesn't use a mod, or any 2 class build? sword saint looks like it's less magic reliant so I would rather use that.

Saint is one of the better martial archetypes out there. Can't really go wrong with it. Saint19/SF1 or Saint18/V1/SF1 work perfectly fine.

any links to a guide for what gear to hunt for? also, why scaled fist instead of other monk types, mainly traditional? it seems one gains armor from charisma while the other wisdom, If I go scaled fist wouldn't I want the scion guy since he scales his spells off charisma too?

reason I questioning is because I'm playing the asimar that has dex / wis atm.

SF cause MC wants persuasion anyways and LG can have bestow grace from a cleric, which is also better than just will saves. Saves are largely a meme. It's easy to be immune to most effects. We have to have saves like 5 times through the game.

tyvm oh snap, that's you, lol

if I dropped 1 or the other for vivi / monk, what would you recommend? I thought the 19 feat you get from ss was suppose to be amazing, right?
