This is for the Pure Builds thread. It is not intended to be the most powerful SD build, but rather the best "pure" SD (30 levels, with only 1 other class) I can make. If you think that it is excessive to maximize both Spot and Listen, feel free to move all points from one of those to Heal, and the Epic Skill Focus, too.

I also made another version with SCV, but at great cost: -3 AB and -2 AC. I can post that too, if you guys want me to. There are 2 other classes that can be used for a "pure" SD build, each with its own pros and cons. Those builds are coming soon.

That's a good idea. Thank you. I'll do that in my other "pure" SD builds.
