hammackj's Ogre Warrior AoE-pull leveling build (Warrior/Druid/Bard) — Cleave plus triple-stacked damage shields through 1–50 and first raid tokens (Yael, Nagafen, Vox). Folds in Cream's routing; revised start plan, July 2026 open beta.

BardOverview
Documented from hammackj's revised start plan (companion sheet on his website) during July 2026 open beta (post-July-14 patch). Compiled guide, not an official write-up. Warrior primary. Folds in a second version of the build from Cream.
AoE-pull leveling build, 1–50 plus first raid tokens — goal is three tokens (Yael, Nagafen, Vox) at 50. Race: Ogre (Iksar picked up cheaply later — Ogre unlock reportedly wants ~20 hours foraging in Misty Thicket, Iksar is trivial, so start expensive).
Start Enchanter or Mage for the pet opener — mage pet cons higher and carries further early, enchanter pet mezzes from level 2 but has no heal. At 10, swap to Warrior/Druid/Bard, keeping a Warrior/Druid/Rogue loadout for buying spells until Bard sneak comes online at 17. Dual-wield for raiding, two-hander for leveling.

Playstyle Notes
Pull whole camps and burn them down. Warrior Cleave (unlocks level 5) plus stacked damage shields do the work while bard AoE songs run underneath and druid heals and ports keep it moving. Three damage shields stack: the bard song, druid Shield of Barbs, and the alchemy potion Kilva's Skin of Flame (budget ~400p, get accuracy to ~83 to craft your own). Dual-wield for raiding, two-hander for leveling. Kill blues for AA, mobs 4–5 levels up for XP.
AA Priorities
- Combat Fury — First — 56 points landing around level 40–45
- Steadfast Will — Skip — Ogre racial covers the ~36 AA
- Mnemonic Retention — One rank at a time before the Bard
- Symphonic Aura — As many ranks as affordable once Bard is in
- Spell slots — Max early
