[[The Dead Shot]] grants [[Improved Critical Hit]] - While the author doesn't advocate crit-fisher builds, this type of build would be the exception due to the sheer number of attacks that can help trigger crits for 2 benefits: GWM bonus attack and [[Mortal Reminder]] [[Feared (Condition)]] | [[The Dead Shot]] grants [[Improved Critical Hit]] - While the author doesn't advocate crit-fisher builds, this type of build would be the exception due to the sheer number of attacks that can help trigger crits for 2 benefits: GWM bonus attack and [[Mortal Reminder]] [[Feared (Condition)]] | ||
== Additional helpful items/buffs == | |||
This build will be making a significant number of attacks so anything that adds damage per hit will have a large impact such as: | |||
[[Caustic Band]] | |||
[[Callous Glow Ring]] | |||
[[Elemental Weapon]] | |||
[[Horns of the Berserker]] | |||
[[Scabby Pugilist Circlet]] | |||

Select [[Aspect of the Beast (Wolverine)]] to add [[Maimed (Condition)]] to each attack with [[Bleeding (Condition)]] which is granted by [[Tiger's Bloodlust]]. Instead of an ASI, take the [[Mobile]] feat to avoid an [[Opportunity Attack]] from an enemy. | |||
This version sacrifices a nova round and [[Second Wind]] healing for additional control by reducing enemy speed to 0. With a companion who can apply [[Prone (Condition)]] enemies will be unable to act because they have 0 movement, and thus cannot stand up from prone. Without applying Prone, enemies can make ranged or magic attacks, but cannot melee attack. Stepping out of range after attacking by using [[Mobile]] avoids an [[Opportunity Attack]] and leaves an enemy without ranged attacks or magic without any actions to take. However, this variant requires additional support from a second character for full effect and relies on items to increase Charisma, rather than an [[Ability Improvement]]. [[Fighter]] 1 still grants a [[Fighting Style]]. War Cleric 1 grants an additional attack from [[War Priest]] to replace the full [[Action Surge]].{{NavCompanions}} | |||
