Update for Mod 29

I will update this section once the newest version of Rainers tool is published!

Rainer created a nice tool to build your character offline and play around with gear options. Thus it is way easier to just put some references to the builds than providing screenshots.

To take a look on the builds follow the steps:

  1. Download the tool under this Link and start the tool.

  2. Click on the Menu entry “Extra” → NW-hub.com

  3. Search for any builds for the current Mod (For the builds of this guide write 'MorgaiStr' in the Author filter).

The following two builds were created for MTIC in Mod 28:

  • A Defensive / Supportive endgame build at around 91k IL.

  • A Deflect - Defensive Build at 95k IL with the goal to maximize survivability.

I have not created a beginner build or offensive build or builds for Gzemnid’s Reliquary this time due to time / motivation constraints.

Defensive / Supportive Build for MTIC

This is a very advanced build at ~91k Item Level. Survivability is just enough. It doesn't work great if your healer is unexperienced or when you are stilllearning the dungeon!

Supportive Bonuses:

  • Artifact (Mythallar)

  • Fount of Power: AP Orbs - This bonus is only useful if your dps takes advantage from it!

  • Mastercraft set

  • Vistani Curse

  • Eilistraee's Grace

  • Companion Enhancement Power (Slowed Reactions)

  • Drizzt Do'Urden

  • Raptor

  • Mount Combat Power (Swarm)

  • Pack Tactics (Mount Aura)

Please note that this and all following builds have every possible bonus activated to get a high Build Score. This includes for example:

  • Dig In is used

  • Second Wind is cast

  • One had received a critical hit over 35% Hit Points but are already healed back to 100% and Stamina is refilled

  • The Master Class R5 Boon is triggered

  • and so on

Of course such a situation may happen once in a while for a few seconds. But surely not for long and for every tank buster! If you want to see the out-of-combat stats, remove most of the Combat flags under the Combat Simulator. For example:

Deflect - Defensive Build for MTIC

The fully selfish way for tank training runs!

Supportive Bonuses:

  • Artifact (Mythallar)

  • Mount Combat Power (Swarm)

  • Runic Aura (Mount Aura)

🎯
Still good!
