So I was thinking about giving NED my first crack.
Because I will obviously be solo I wanted to be diverse, my first thought was Binder. This is a class I've only been able to play for a few sessions and had fun with. Another class which seemed to be good to pair into the build would be Factotum (*gasp*). Neither of these classes are really strong at fighting themselves and neither will have good healing early. That got me to thinking of Crusader/Cleric/RKV for one-half of the gestalt. But this is kindof where is hit the breaks.
I need to start with the Binder so I can pickup Expel Vestige and Improved Binding. These seem to be fairly critical to getting the most mileage out of the binder until Vestige Phylacteries can be afforded ( which probably wont happen in NED I'm guessin. )
It would seem I also want to start with Factotum for the early trapfinding and skill points. Thinking of pull Able Learner out so I dont have to worry about cross class skill issues either.
For the cleric I was thinking Renewal and Time domain from Spell Comp. I kindof wanted to start with this class as well, the Renewal would help give me abit of break incase of bad luck or a nasty suprise.
Crusader becuase well, soaking alot of damage and then beating someone for healing just seemed like a good idea. Maybe something else?
This setup would seem rather MAD but in a gestalt to cover most all bases...what isn't. :/ Also, out of combat healing would eventually be covered by Buer(4th lvl vest) or Andras (4th)+Shielf of Mercy(MiC)
so my query is, what is your thoughts. Looking at Factotum it seemed pretty sweet but a full Factotum // Binder didn't seem to make much sense. After Factotum maybe Swordsage?
