#44658, "I'm telling you"
Edited on Tue 27-Mar-12 06:27 PM

          

On paper it may look good. In reality, it isn't.

You're forgetting some things:

- 17 STR means you are probably going to be at max carry weight almost all the time, especially with wands and preps in the inventory. Also, their average size and low STR (which means low weight) means bashing is generally going to suck, which leaves trip as your option to keep people in a fight...good luck there at hero.

- The "sweet spot" size you say they are at isn't really sweet at all. Sure they can shrink/enlarge, but so can non-rager giants. The ensuing bash-down by a giant sword spec would be brutal.

- Until they reach critical mass (and who really knows how many charges that might be with a felar - it's uncharted territory), there are many, many things that should be able to beat one fairly easy imho.

- A felar AP can't use an orb of travel if they are using a spear (and I am pretty damn sure you'd want to use a spear or other 2-handed weapon), and it's a lifesaver in so many situations that people will engineer to bring down an AP.

- Bards will theoretically rip you a new one. You won't be able to lag them. If they have semi-decent saves, good luck with deafen. And, if it lands, they will just run. If they fiend you, you're pretty screwed.


To sum it all up, I predict a huge let down from this build. I think it has _potential_ in the way that everything has potential under the perfect circumstances. Feel free to try, but don't be pissed if it doesn't go at all the way you imagine it will. I believe bash will be your #1 enemy, and Ragers will eat you alive. Rager bards even moreso. Additionally, you aren't going to have an easy time keeping anyone in combat. You'll have to do some extremely tedious prep-juggling due to your weight-carry restrictions from being so pathetically weak. So, lots of running around, lots of near kills without sealing them, and lots of bashdown deaths. Sounds fun.
