When you hit with a Howling Strike charge, which is likely with a +30 attack bonus for these attacks, a regular hit inflicts 2d12, Brutal 2 plus 5d6+30 damage, whereas a critical hit (Axe Mastery gifts you with a 19-20 critical range) doles out a tremendous 3d12, Brutal 2 plus 5d6+104 damage and grants you a free melee basic attack thanks to your Rampage class feature. Also on a hit, you knock the target prone, push the target 1 square, and can shift 2 squares into a square that the target vacated. After all this, hit or miss, you shift 2 squares immediately after the charge, gaining a +1 item bonus to AC and Reflex until the end of your next turn. Quite the act of alacrity, no?

A Badge of the Berserker, Great Cat Armor (which you can use to shift 2 squares as a move action, by the way), Boots of Adept Charging, and Davros Elden's Defensive Step form the core of the charge mechanics of this build. The +1 bonus to charge attack rolls from a Charger's Headdress was chosen in place of the +2d6 damage from a paragon-tier Horned Helm, for while the benefit of the former item does not contribute as much to the average damage of your charges, its 32,000 gp cheaper price tag opens up room for other magic items. A Backlash Tattoo and Strikebacks add more non-standard-action encounter powers to your arsenal, and two Rings of Giants significantly boost your damage on a critical hit. You are unfortunately burdened with an enormous surplus of magic item daily powers, but the following scheme should prove workable: Use your two sets of Dice of Auspicious Fortune at the start of each day, covering you from missed attack rolls and failed saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. As you gain milestones, use the daily powers of your Sacrificial Execution Axe +5, the Great Cat Stalkerhide +4, the two Rings of Giants, and the Charger's Headdress as you see fit.

Despite the character being direly fragile for a striker with low overall defenses of AC 37, Fortitude 36, Reflex 28, and Will 29, I believe that this should be a substantially enjoyable and stylish build to play for a game beginning at level 21. It is a tad too feat- and item-intensive to play at any lower level, I must admit. After the build outline below is an analysis of the damage output and maneuvering possible with a Howling Strike charge.

The potency of Howling Strike, Rampage, and a melee basic attack can be put into perspective by the following calculations:

Howling Strike:
Average AC of a Level 21 Monster: 35 (21 + 14)
Attack Bonus: +30 (10 half level + 5 enhancement + 8 Strength modifier + 2 Weapon Expertise + 2 proficiency + 1 Fighter Weapon Talent + 1 Charger's Headdress + 1 charging)

Average Regular Damage: 62.5
Average Critical Damage: 144
Average Regular Hit Chance vs. Level 21 Monster: 70%
Average Critical Hit Chance vs. Level 21 Monster: 10%
Average Overall Damage vs. Level 21 Monster: 58.15 (62.5 * 0.7 + 144 * 0.1)

>>7964788
I shoulda guessed you were the same dumbfuck who keeps spamming other threads.

Do you really think you're accomplishing something?

Melee Basic Attack (against prone enemy):
Average AC of a Level 21 Monster: 35 (21 + 14)
Attack Bonus: +29 (10 half level + 5 enhancement + 8 Strength modifier + 2 Weapon Expertise + 2 proficiency + 2 combat advantage [prone])
Regular Damage: 2d12+20, Brutal 2 (2d12, Brutal 2 execution axe + 5 enhancement + 8 Strength modifier + 3 Weapon Focus + 4 Iron Armbands of Power)
Critical Damage: 3d12, Brutal 2 plus 5d6+64 (3d12, Brutal 2 High Crit + 5d6 Sacrificial Execution Axe + 24 execution axe + 5 enhancement + 8 Strength modifier + 3 Weapon Focus + 4 Iron Armbands of Power + 10 Ring of Giants + 10 Ring of Giants)
Average Regular Damage: 35
Average Critical Damage: 104
Average Regular Hit Chance vs. Level 21 Monster: 65%
Average Critical Hit Chance vs. Level 21 Monster: 10%
Average Overall Damage vs. Level 21 Monster: 33.15 (35 * 0.65 + 104 * 0.1)

58.15 + 33.15 * 0.1 = 61.465

Lastly, let it be demonstrated that the tactical superiority of the Artful Charger is considerable. Picture the following scenario:

>>7964798
Butthurt, or genuinely retarded? You decide, /tg/!

rolled 7 + 1 = 8

>>7964815
since touhoufags stuff is actually kind of interesting most of the time I guess that makes you the faggot.

The four-by-four black diamond in the Northern (upper) portion of the grid is a Gargantuan-sized dragon. The one-by-one black diamond in the Southern (lower) half represents the barbarian|fighter. White diamonds denote empty squares, though they can be occupied by enemies and nevertheless be safely ignored thanks to Inexorable Momentum. On the barbarian's turn, she can use a move action to move six squares like so:
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◆◆◆◆◇◇
◇◇◆◆◆◆◇◇
◇◇◆◆◆◆◇◇
◇◇◆◆◆◆◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◆◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

She can then declare a charge, moving six squares over and around the dragon by means of an acrobatic vault, circumventing opportunity attacks:
◇◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
◇◇◆◆◆◆◇◇
◇◇◆◆◆◆◇◇
◇◇◆◆◆◆◇◇
◇◇◆◆◆◆◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

A rather clever brute, this character is. She takes a swing with her Sacrificial Execution Axe +5, hitting the dragon, knocking it prone, and pushing it 1 square:
◇◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◆◆◆◆◇◇
◇◇◆◆◆◆◇◇
◇◇◆◆◆◆◇◇
◇◇◆◆◆◆◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

From here, the Artful Charger can then shift 2 squares in either direction, or she can shift 1 square SW, S, or SE, then shift 2 squares in any direction. Where she chooses to relocate herself shall vary depending on the circumstances of the battle, of course. She should preferably situate herself in a square wherein the greatest number of enemies can fall prey to one of her stances, be it Rain of Steel, Unyielding Avalanche, or Crag of Steel.

That is all.

>>7964830
The thing is, some of us don't like that stuff. One or two spammers stole a /bx/ meme (I was there during the pacman invasion), now every little retard genuinely believes that it's just one person.

>>7965007
thanks

Hi, one person spamming touhoufag and every other 4e thread. How are you today?

Touhoufag, would it definitely be preferable to use a Charging Headdress rather than a Horned Helmet?

>>7964868
I fully agree with this gentleman.

>>7965029

Howling Strike:
Average AC of a Level 21 Monster: 35 (21 + 14)
Attack Bonus: +29 (10 half level + 5 enhancement + 8 Strength modifier + 2 Weapon Expertise + 2 proficiency + 1 Fighter Weapon Talent + 1 charging)
Regular Damage: 2d12, Brutal 2 plus 7d6+30 (2d12, Brutal 2 execution axe + 5 enhancement + 8 Strength modifier + 3 Weapon Focus + 4 Iron Armbands of Power + 2d6 Horned Helm + 2d6 Charging Strike + 3d6 Howling Strike + 8 Constitution modifier [Hewing Charge] + 2 Powerful Charge)
Critical Damage: 3d12, Brutal 2 plus 5d6+116 (3d12, Brutal 2 High Crit + 5d6 Sacrificial execution axe + 24 execution axe + 5 enhancement + 8 Strength modifier + 3 Weapon Focus + 4 Iron Armbands of Power + 12 Horned Helm + 12 Charging Strike + 18 Howling Strike + 8 Constitution modifier [Hewing Charge] + 2 Powerful Charge + 10 Ring of Giants + 10 Ring of Giants), critical hit on a natural 19 or 20 (Axe Mastery), and once per round, when you score a critical hit with a barbarian power, you can make a melee basic attack as a free action (Rampage)
Average Regular Damage: 69.5
Average Critical Damage: 156
Average Regular Hit Chance vs. Level 21 Monster: 65%
Average Critical Hit Chance vs. Level 21 Monster: 10%
Average Overall Damage vs. Level 21 Monster: 60.775 (69.5 * 0.65 + 156 * 0.1)

A Horned Helm would allow you to inflict approximately 2.625 more damage each round on average. While you could simply abstain from two Rings of Giants, I would prefer the reliability and increased probability of pushing your target and knocking it prone that the Charger's Headdress provides.

I'd like these threads better if they didn't give me a headache trying to read.

>>7965554
I can read them just fine. They're a lot more detailed than Character Builder outputs, that's for sure.

>>7965554
They're written by an idiot savant, that's why. He's so focused on powergaming that he can't even control his bowels.

>>Class: Hybrid Barbarian|Fighter, Dragon Magazine #383, pages 11, 12, 14, 15
Seriously? No DM is going to let you make a gestalt character.

>>7965800
Every DM I know of actually monitors touhoufag builds and bans everything that looks similar.

>>7965800
Hybrid multiclass does not equal gestalt, bro

>>7965835
Isn't a combination of two classes basically what gestalt was?

>>7965898
Gestalt gets the best of both classes, hybrid multiclass gets the weak sides of both classes and needs to pay a stupid amount of feats to get the full features of _one_ of their classes.

Is it really so bad? What you've got here is something that really IS stylish. It's better than the stereotypical barbarian chargebot.

Nobody notices that this is warforged Prince of Persia? For shame, /tg/.

You know shitty DMs.

TF is one of the few CharOp types who actually gives a damn about positioning, status infliction, and basically any non-damaging shite a character can do. The massive damage powergamer types are far and away more annoying in-game than someone running a well-built team player. The old 3.5 "this character can SOLO DUNGEONS!" is dead; a lone wizard in the wild gets eaten, regardless of his damage output or ritual casting ability, and frenzied berserker uber-chargers no longer one-shot the tarrasque.

Your DMs need to get with the times, brah.

I see a formatting failure.

I think this might be doable at level 16. You'd have to take away Overpowering Charge, Axe Mastery and Paragon Defenses, and you'd get no Great Cat, but it would work.

This build certainly would be viable at level 16, albeit at a much, much lesser degree of mobility.
