The Obsidian Boards' Build List - Last modified: 11-Nov-18 (2024)

Welcome to the new and updated list of current builds from these boards.

Each of the eleven classes in the game is listed below in alphabetical order, with each build listed alphabetically underneath. For each build you'll find a short descriptor, an indication of the game version it was built for and/or it uses gear and abilities from, and whether it has been meant or tested for solo play.

DISCLAIMER:
In drawing up the list, I assumed solo play to be untested for all builds that did not explicitly mention solo play in the OP. If anyone tested any of these builds for solo play and would like their experience to be reflected in this thread, please PM me or Tigranes specifying the build you used, the difficulty you tried, and whether you could beat the game. Similarly, if you want your build's descriptor updated, contact us with the updated descriptor.

DISCLAIMER II:
Included in this list are what builds I could find scavenging the boards, plus any builds that were PMed to me. If your build is missing, please PM me or Tigranes with the relevant information (link, descriptor, game version, solo play) and we will add it.

FORMAT:

Build Name [links to the build's thread]
Short descriptor of what the build does or specializes in.
Author: The user who made the build.
Game version: What game version the build was created for, and/or uses equipment and abilities from.
Solo: Whether the build is suitable for solo play.

  • "Yes [Difficulty]" - The build was either created or tested for solo play on the specified difficulty level.
  • "No [Difficulty]" - The build was tested for solo play on the specified difficulty level and the game could not be beaten.
  • "Untested" - The build wasn't born with solo play in mind, but for all we know it might as well work—except nobody's tried yet.
