First off, I'm a Rook player through and through. Now, that doesn't mean I go anywehre near him in multiplayer; I just have fun with him in SP. Secondly, I'm a massive fan of Oak and he is my Pantheon/Multiplayer Demigod. I do pretty good with him, although I'm still not that good a player (at all). I've got an Oak build that I think does some pretty good work in MP, although it isn't as good in SP when I don't die at all. Just want to hear your thoughts and opinions.....

I am aware this could very well be a bad build for Oak, which is why I want your opinions on it. Clearly, there is no Penitence. I actually do use Penitence a lot and max it out, but it means I will trade off either all of Raise Dead Ward or a spread over the other abilities. Without Penitence he loses some anti-demigod power, but I think in the long run, Soul Power 3, SoF 3 and Divine Justice 3+Rally make up for that. He trades his only real signle-damage ability for a better support/life role. What do ya's think? I do get into the frontlines a lot, and I can adapt the build to have Penitence if I need it, but I think survivability and the effect of outlasting Demigods with Shield and Last Stand can do well for my team. I mean, there have been a few times in my short partake of multiplayer where an enemy demigod thought they could take me alone, and they seem to forget I have Shield and Last Stand and I totally destroy them. This often means I don't need Penitence, crazy as it might sound to some of you. Again, please post whatever you want; I'm open to any and all suggestions!
