Submission: King of Lvl 1 Revision: 1.1 Class/Race: Hybrid Human Paladin/Warlock Powers: Eldritch Strike (to charge or not to charge...) Feats: Deadly Draw, White Lotus Riposte Setup: No Setup-Round, Minor Divine Challenge, Minor Warlock's Curse, Standard Charge Attack: First round charge, then hit and slide, hit and slide, hit and slide... and everytime if possible charge (I assume 50/50 chance) Intention: No charge necessary after first round, no setup round without damage, no wait for shifting, CA guaranteed, additional damage guaranteed (WLR (see rev. 1.1), DC) Based on: My own character I'm playing already for a while (current lvl 9)
Minotaur battlemind|artificer MC swordmage Malec-Keth Janissary
Assumptions: Bloodied: This character will start the encounter bloodied and make up for it with a resistive formula. 112 hp-> bloodied value +surge+3*con mod (with belt of blood)= 105hp to start the encounter. +1 AC until hit (after first turn). There is some risk of being swarmed before he gets a chance to use the infusion, so he stays back until after the first turn. (Note: a dwarf with dwarven durability can actually break even on hp this way, but I wanted the minotaur's +1 to hit while bloodied feat)
Combat advantage: via frostcheese, a high chance of hitting, and three chances to hit per turn, this character will have CA upwards of 98% of the time.
Damage Sources: Brutal Barrage: base 7, 3 attacks at +23+1(beast within)+2 (CA)=+26 vs AC Battlecrazed weapon: +2d6 per attack Malec-Keth Janissary: +1d4 per attack Lasting Frost: +5 per attack Headsman's Chop:+5 if all three attacks hit Base damage: 3*(.8)*(7+7+2.5+5)+3*.05*(12+7+4+5+10.5)+(.85)*(1-.15^2)*5=60.4DPR with vorpal edge (18-20 crit)=65.5DPR with Icebound Sigil (+7 per attack)=78.3DPR with Lightning Sigil (+12 per attack)=91.0DPR
I would suggest that you update the key by including brutal barrage with twin strike and throw and stab (all the at-will multi-attacks against a single target).
Also, you have my nova build for level 16 listed under encounter nova, but it uses dailies. It is also slightly illegal, since the minor action use of brutal barrage from sword of assault should be unaugmented. I'll try to get an updated (and legal) version up at some point.
"Im curious how the candidates would rank if you separated them into Melee combatants versus Ranged combatants."
I'm more curious to see if there is a discrepancy between spellslingers and [w] classes. I feel like spell people can't keep up.
I've thought about doing this, but here's my real 1st shot:

Submission: Lvl 6 DPR Revision: 1.0 Class/Race: Half-Orc Brutal Scoundrel Rogue Powers: Piercing Strike Feats: Backstabber, versatile duelist, focus and expertise heavy blade Gear: Vicious Longsword, Iron Armbands of Power, Gauntlets of Blood, Tattoo of Vengence Setup: None, but smart play and other powers should let you have CA anytime you use this power. Based on: What I thought about Brutal Scoundrel the 1st time I read it.
I've found that if you edit the html and copy the html into a text editor and replace all instances of style="width: 1px; height: 1px;" with nothing then past that back in the html editor, then update, then delete the duplicate text, you should be fine.
DPR = Damage Per round ~= Chance to hit * damage on a hit KPR = Kills Per Round. 1 Kill = 8*Level+24 damage = DPR/(8*level+24) KPNR = Kills Per N Rounds. How many standards can you kill in N rounds?

You seem to be an avid viewer of this thread. What would you change if it was yours, you having used it so much?
I'm honored due to your question.
I would appreciate if you demand a defined format how to post the builds, math and revisions in this thread to make it easier to compare the builds.
There should be more different ranking lists: a main list with all builds (feychargers included), lists with strict demands, a list with feychargers, a list with unorthodox assumptions, and so on...
Demands could be: Every hit must be against the same target, for example charges, CA, to be or not to be bloodied, a bloodied target, adjacent allies or enemies to the target or the character (and so on) each round must be declared how to guarantee.
Only conclusive builds should be in the strict list. And it should be a challenge to meet with the list. It's your thread. You are the jury. You make the rules or you could discuss the rules with us.
