While playing with the character builder, trying to come up with an interesting character for LFR, I came up with this combo, using a Hybrid Fighter/Seeker.*
*Someone has to have noticed this before, but I couldn't find any threads on the subject, which is why I'm posting this.
Basically, you take Deft Hurler. With this Feat, when you use Cleave, instead of dealing damage to an adjacent enemy, you are allowed to make a RBA with a thrown weapon against another target, without provoking an Opportunity Attack.
Seekers have several At-Wills (and a few Encounter Powers) that can be used as RBA's, so the road to profit seems clear to use two Powers at the same time...I think.
While trying to put a build together, however, I found that taking the combo at level 1 proved to be problematic; the AC is woeful on this build, thus necessitating Hybrid Talent to get Fighter Armor Prof.
I guess I could do it as a Human, but I really think 18 Str/Wis is the best way to go. Since this is an LFR game, I can take the Impiltur Background, and make up for my woeful Con, since I also need 13 Dexterity.
But I have no real way how to optimize this build past the first few levels; I'm not very familiar with Seekers in general, or how Hybrid Fighter Marking will interact with Deft Hurler/Cleave/Seeker RBA's.
Things I've been considering-
Wary Fighter for a nice init boost, perhaps combined with Improved Initiative?
Javelin + Shield (perhaps getting an enchanted Weapon/Shield so I can inflict more melee damage or pick up Fighter powers that use two melee weapons).
Dwarven Thrower weapons (such as the Maul) to greatly boost damage, at the cost of range.
I appreciate any comments/advice anyone can give me!
