Suggestions for a Eldritch Knight build

nightdugalle

before i shell out the G's or buy a retcon token, was curious how well would great weapons and arcane mix. Eldritch Knights are basically heavily armed and armored warriors with skill and knowledge in the arcane.

There's a variety of ways to mix the attacks from the 2 sets. Here's one example:

Specializations
Intelligence: Preparation (2/2)
Intelligence: Enlightened (3/3)

Intelligence: Expertise (2/2)
Warden: Fortified Gear (2/3)
Warden: Slaughter (3/3)

Overseer: Administer (3/3)
Overseer: Ruthless (2/2)
Overseer: Impact (2/2)
Overseer: Trapped (3/3)
Mastery: Warden Mastery (1/1)

Should have good debuff potential w/ Arc's debuff, Hexed, Disorient, Fear, Root + Trapped, and Honor. For more melee dps, it can use the melee dps role and WotW, Unstoppable, NW, or Quarry as the passive (and/or w/ Dex PSS). Gears mostly for Dex and Con here, w/ some Int for MSA.

Define what you intend for the arcana to do. Is it to buff yourself, debuff targets, deal damage by itself, etc. or all of the above? If there is an elemental effect that you want, by all means, mention that, too. That helps nail down the specific "build" you have in mind.

Flows build he gave is pretty good. might swap rebirth for a ranged magical attack like star barrage.

Yeah if you want a ranged 100ft attack in there then go ahead. I put MSA as the EU, but Conjuring could also prob work as long as you keep Pillar and/or Hex up somewhere near (and either EU scales w/ Int).
