Although not a full out twinked windrise ports feycharging build, it has a couple of interesting tricks based mostly on the idea that I'm not an interesting target for my chosen enemy, so that she/he/it will go after somebody else in my party, thereby triggering my censure of pursuit!

• Polearm Gamble + Mobile Warrior so I can shift away after attacking and get an OA if he/it/she wants to get next to me.
• High defenses to make me hard to hit (After a charge: AC: 53, Fort: 39, Reflex: 46, Will: 44).
• Powers/items that give concealment/invisibility/damaging auras.
• Powers/items that give recursive attacks

Then, after the infidel has run away, I charge him/her/it using:

• Fey Charge so I can use fey step for the charge (triggering Feywild protectionand Cloak of Translocation)
• Invigorating Pursuit for a bonus to damage and AC.
• Zealot's Veil (Zealous Assassin PP) and Surprising Charge to gain CA and an extra [W] damage.
• Horned Helmet for a +3d6 damage.
• Thundergod Weapon for an extra 2d6 damage and 1d12 on crits.
• The problem of combing charging, reach and OoE is solved by the stowing the greatspear with a free action (fast hand thievery utility) and draw it with a free action (battle harness) between the move and the attack (Allowed as per Dragon 379:41).

So at level 30 if my stealth check succeeds and I use power attack then I charge with a +35 attack bonus and deal 3d10 (maximised) +5d6 (maximised) + 54 = 114 damage, gaining a +2 to damage, a +7 to AC a +5 to Ref and a +2 to Fort and Will until the end of my next turn and I can shift 1 square, slide the target 1 square and shift another square! This would give me a DPR of 113.9!

It seems like a cool build, but you won't really be using the Avengers key feature, the OoE really at all. Since you are using a reach weapon, you have to stop a square away on a charge, so you won't be next to your target.

EDIT: This used to be fixed with a homebrew weapon, but is now solved with the combination of battle harness and fast hands.

Oh, well then, if your DM has allowed for this homebrew weapon then I see no reason why this build wouldn't work, and work fairly well.

I'm still in doubt about my epic destiny though.

Chosen might open up spear mastery but it's other features are somewhat uninteresting. If my DM would agree upon using a power like tempus's glare (for one encounter those that miss gain damage equal to half their level) for our homebrewed godess than it might become a bit more interesting, but I doubt I could convince him...

Deadly Trickster is great, especially the combination of never missing (OoE and 3 double rerolls a day makes missing very difficult) and never being hit (high defenses, several other deterrents and 3 forced auto fails for the DM make hitting you very difficult) and of course the 28% chance of keeping your dailies/encounters is nothing to scoff at although it would be more interesting if there would be better charge powers that I could reuse (but hopefully DP will solve that).

Punisher of the Gods on the other hands is very nice in and of it self (even when not abused) and making a save to prevent damage and repel legion's aura both help rather nicely to convince my enemy to move away...

What do you gals/guys think would be the most interesting epic destiny for this build?

What, no Power Attack feat?

FEATS:
8: Invigorating Pursuit (retrained to Power Attack at Level 11)
And yes it's a nice way to increase your damage, especially for at-will attacks (although there apparently is a treshold, even for avengers, where the amount of damage you do without power attack is big enough not to want to risk the -2 to attack).

Matt12 wrote:

This is more of a style question but how often do you think you really use charge in combat?

My enemy will often flee so it will be easy to charge him and even if he/she/it stays put I can shift 2 squares away after every charge to create the proper distance myself. So I think I'll charge whenever I'm not using a daily or encounter power. Maybe it would be better to change my level 17 and level 27 encounter powers into the charging powers of that level as the items I have compensate the lower [W]'s of those powers.

Matt12 wrote:

Is it worth burning all those feats for the number of times you'll be using charge??

It's actually only 3 feats (I'm not counting melee training as that also powers opportunity attacks/polearm gamble/battle awareness):
12: Fey Charge
16: Surprising Charge
18: Invigorating Pursuit

With all your charging feats and character built around charging. You might want to think about changing your level two utility to allow you to change your Oath target.

Since I can teleport 5 squares of the charge I don't really have to worry about what's in between, but your right, maybe in the long run (when I care less about an invisible move) it might be an idea to change this...
