I'm playing 3.5 for the first time since I was in high school, how do I break the gam

I'm down for any build really. I just want to see what people recommended really.

How broken do you want ?

It really would help if you narrowed the question a little. Many people on this forum have 10+ broken builds on their favorite list.

Excluding Pun-Pun type shenanigans, a build optimizes a gimmick. The player needs to choose an method of play. Do you want to summon monsters? Raise undead? Melee at 32 ft tall? Shoot lasers from space?

I built a tripper this summer that's 72 ft tall, and channels spells through his reach weapon out to 65 ft (i think). At 12th level he turns enemies into trees, with no save or resistance. Oh, and cast arcane+divine to 8/9.

This month i was looking at ways to push the action economy, by pushing multiple spells per round. It takes a lot of metamagic, of course.
