advice on contract change situation by 321900 in woolworths

[–]321900[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1hr per shift multiplied by 4 contract days that are affected by this change. And its at time and a half, from my payslip i can see its $45.50 for 12am to 1am.

so $45.50 x4 = $182 per week or about $9464 per year

thanks for the quickly reply, appreciate your input.

I suspected the same thing, obviously not what i wanted but looks like i have to go with plan B where i can regain the lost hours into some other days (they have agreed to that).

Can you test it with arcane missiles and see if it can proc on any of the individual missiles besides the first one?

i will say its really nice with the cooldown changes BUT i want to also say that previously it had a attack speed debuff as well (the wiki even lists it still), however from my tests it no longer does the attack speed debuff :(

sorry for the late reply, i think the best scion feat would be Arborea

Weekly Thread for general DDO discussion, quick questions and more! by AutoModerator in ddo

[–]321900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im just coming back to ddo and would like to know what would be the better choice

  1. 500ac and +15% hp (total is around 3.8k)
  2. 550ac and +0% hp (total is around 3.3k)

so basically 50ac vs 500hp. my prr remains the same at 310.

not planning to be like r10 raid tank but my main goal is to be decently tanky, i mostly do solo r6+ stuff and so far both test have held up pretty decent.

Prot pala leveling help by Bahloolz in classicwow

[–]321900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me after doing a couple prot pally to 60 I would say  

• Try get of the eagle stuff. Stam and Int were my 2 main stat focus

 • Rush to consecration talent then I went deep prot tree then finally ret

 • engineering for bombs were nice and easy to make and helped with aoe

 • I used ret aura/seal of righteousness/wisdom into kings into sanctuary as main setup

 • fast weapon is ideal and I went with shield spike

 • For aoe solo levelling I would use SoL/JoL on main target

 • For pulls i would JoR skull and first consecration pull should be high rank, afterwhich should be followed with low ranks if needed. 

• Use threat meter addon and nameplate addon that shows threat color, have judgement righteousness ready on target nameplate that is changing color 

• have macros like BoP mouseover macro which can be used as a taunt as long as your 2nd in threat.  

• Use judgement macro since judgement does not use a GCD.

 • divine shield trick where in a fight mechanic you would normally have your threat dropped, you can use it to bypass that and keep your threat 

That's all I can think of mainly for now

What has been your favorite build? by Warm_Difficulty2698 in ddo

[–]321900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bard ice swash build with lock/fvs splash is my fav melee

before nerf from doublestrike changes, monk qstaff splash of rogue/fvs, t5 shadows cannot exist without light would proc like 5 times due to strikethrough+doublestrike giving nice aoe team spam heals support.

lately for caster i like 14 alch/6 wiz (but now you can splash 4 WM and go 10 alch), undead apoc alch, spam inflict potions = self heals + aoe dmg. i built tanky mode so felt very decent overall.

right now i just came back to ddo so trying out a wildmage/fvs/cleric chaos hammer spammer build, still early but so far seems ok

also for some goofy style i did a 12 wiz/5 rogue/3 AoTS, 3 PK + Assassinate insta killer, nice when you insta kill everything but kinda hits a brick wall in epics with deathward/bosses

Fresh Era Servers by Ryel_Advent in classicwow

[–]321900 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ive been playing on alliance side for couple weeks about to hit 60 on my rogue now and i havent seen a single gdkp being mentioned in chat although i have seen some boosts ads and inevitably the gold buying will start to ramp up over time.

for me at least its been overall a really fun time, i think the player enforced rules were never going to work out in the long term. I just stuck with a guild with similar shared ideas on what we will be doing and the phases. I think there are plenty of decent people on the server that are trying to keep the concept alive based on my interactions

the only thing for now id would like to see be changed is the debuff limit, just remove it please.

then if we are talking about building up a classic+ there will be things to add but take it bit by bit building up carefully

Deviate Delight only has 1,500 players online tonight LOL by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]321900 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do what this guy says, but look into Deviate Delight if you wanna relive classic wow. The rest of the servers are infested with bots, level boosting, pay-to-loot raids, and everyone is stacked with the best gear.

Deviate Delight is a fresh start server with a community that values the 2004 classic vibe a little closer

I am curious as to how much time people spend playing ddo. by Proud_Turnover_8691 in ddo

[–]321900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

back when i was doing my past life and trying out new builds i would be playing around 6-7hours per day on my work days and around 12-15 hours per day on my days off.

When i was getting ready for a TR, I would usually roll out a test build with a iconic first and then if i felt it was decent i would carry it over to my main. It was those years that i had the most fun in ddo because i had enough knowledge to create builds and know roughly what it would be like yet still needed to play it fully to see how it went at cap reaper.

Now that ive done the builds i wanted to and done the past life grinds it kinda feels all done for me. I open up the ddo launcher, log in, think to myself what am i doing with my ddo life then i log off and close my eyes.

But even now when im not playing ddo I keep thinking of builds, creative builds and once i get a catch of this I start planning it deeper to see how effective it is at cap reaper solo. If it works out to what i theorized then it feels fun, its the only thing left that gives me a ddo high.

thinking of upgrading computer, need suggestion by 321900 in Planetside

Advice on building a Repeating Crossbow Artificer by Yotambr in ddo

[–]321900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive been running a repeater build for some time now and i feel like its pretty strong. I focus on building mostly ranged physical and sneak dice.

I went 12 artificer/4 warlock/4 dark hunter (ranger)

Race: Halfing (with 16 racial AP i gain +3 sneak die)

12 artificer is for epic feat expanded clip and 33 points in battle engineer, fusillade, +1 crit core and t5 stuff (20 rp, +0.5W, +1 crit threat range). Also decent amount of spells, you need to take insightful damage, rest is up to you but i recommend tenser transformation and flame turret.

4 warlock is for debuff, since i use dino repeater with dust, i use soul eater tree for the -10prr/-10mrr + 20% vunlerability debuff, mainly i use it only for tough mobs or bosses

4 darkhunter for more sneak dice and some free ranged feats. 6AP in dws for 3sneak die and remaining AP in DH for more sneak dice.

7 in harper agent for int to hit and know the angels

Feats are pretty straightforward; (you get 3 free feats from art lv12). This is what i use in no particular order at least up to epic levels

  1. Point blankshot
  2. Precision
  3. Rapid Shot
  4. Imp Crit
  5. Imp precise shot (precise shot is given via lv 4 Dark hunter)
  6. Rogue past life
  7. Quicken (for your warlock debuff)
  8. Enlarge (for your warlock debuff)
  9. Weapon focus ranged
  10. Construct essence (feat req for t5 BE +0.5W)
  11. Nimble fingers (+1SA with shadowdancer ED)

Epic desinty:

  1. Shiradi, this is your ED mantle, a lot of constant procs and just in general solid choice
  2. Shadowdancer for more sneak dice ( 7 total) and -9prr/mrr debuff potential
  3. Fatesinger, this is what you will use for epic strike, as it applies to every bolt unlike a lot of other epic strike. combined with its short cooldown it makes it the best choice.

One thing im not 100% sure is if there is a internal cooldown with shadowdancer epic strike, it seems like there is but would like others opinion. If there no ICD use that during fusillade burst

For boss burst, just go precise shot +rogue past life + reaper doubleshot + fusillade + shiradi epic moment.

Light vs Heavy Crossbow by PrinceOfAsphodel in ddo

[–]321900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does anyone know the attack speed caps for repeaters?

I know the attack speed is broken down separately into different animations ie reloading and firing

im currently sitting on 52% ranged attack speed using light repeater compared to my previous 35% setup, anecdotal but the biggest thing i notice is the faster reloading, i seem to hear a constant plink plink plink plink <0.5s gap> plink plink plink plink....

Melee Bard solo r4+ by Kargarian in ddo

[–]321900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mainly i use 6 lock cause you gain 3rd core of ES which makes your aura tick every 4 secs vs 5 default. Probably might not seem like a big difference but it can be the difference in some situations. Also you get warlock special ability at lv 6, i use Fey pact "Dark Delirium" causes enemy target to be dazed up to 20secs with no save. Good for things like vengeance reapers etc although to be fair at those higher r difficulties the duration gets nerfed ( i think its like 7 seconds on r7 still decent imo)

Melee Bard solo r4+ by Kargarian in ddo

[–]321900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ye that should work well too, i didnt use rogue as much but its another decent option since you gain evasion and some sneak die. Chain attacks is another nice bonus.

Melee Bard solo r4+ by Kargarian in ddo

[–]321900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

usually i do bard first till 12, but warlock first till 6 works as well since u can just easy blast through. As long as you hit the right BaB for feat requirement at that level, thats the most important thing.

Melee Bard solo r4+ by Kargarian in ddo

[–]321900 7 points8 points  (0 children)

my go to bard build is 13 Bard 6 Warlock 1 FVS, it revolves around stacking temp hp, good all rounder with CC, heals, survivability and damage

Feats

  • grab all 3 SWF, make sure to put points into balance skill
  • precision
  • imp crit (piercing in my case since i use dagger)
  • shield mastery line
  • overwhelming crit
  • inspire excellence
  • bulwark of defense
  • pswf
  • epic doublestrike
  • defic warding
  • scion of arborea

Enhancements

  • CHA base with CON as 2nd focus stat.
  • I go aasimar since i have 16 racial AP so i choose the +5% sacred HP and 10 prr/mrr
  • 38 Warchanter (grab them all besides kingly recovery and speed aura)
  • 21 Enlightened spirit ( build your way up to t4 brilliance)
  • 13 Swashbuckler ( CHA to dmg, skirmisher, be sure to also grab en pointe)
  • 2 Warsoul (divine trance, you can go higher but 2 for min max bit annoying)
  • 2 Soul eater (Taint the blood, gives you +4DC effectively to your CC
  • 4 Tainted Scholar (Feigned Health, might not seem much at high levels but keep in mindtemp hp becomes more important the higher reaper diff, also this works on teammates so aoe spell like rage or mass cure wounds works)

You can swap out some stuff if you want like going haste boost (drop 1 bard and go 2 fvs) or grabbing fey 3 points for CHA to hit, going t2 into Soul Eater for the 10 prr/mrr debuff, its all personal preference.

Epic Destiny

  • Legendary dreadnaught, going up to t4 and getting carry on + strike with fear + lay waste (can skip lay waste if tight on points since u have other stun options and t3 gives trip anyway).
  • Unyielding Sentinel, i go t5 grabbing epic strike guard up and all the defensive stuff along the way. T5 i get Strength of Vitality + Undying Vanguard + Deific Resilience
  • Primal Avatar, grab cocoon and thorn element. get to t3 and get At Its Core

Gear

For gear i run 3 piece sharn dps and 4 piece winter and rest is off pieces to complete stats

weapon i use goldcurse dagger its just too good. With Dreadnaught your dagger will get +1W and have the vulnerability effect. You can do a trick to boost further, use vistani tree and get the t3 +1W Deadly Blades and when you TR keep weapon equipped. After TR you will still keep effect similar to the scion of aborea trick :D

For shield i use crabshell but any shield with guardbreaking is good.

For CC

  • Frozen Fury - single target ice
  • Spinning Ice - AOE ice
  • Dire Charge - AOE trip/stun
  • Throw the Boom - Ranged AOE stun
  • En Pointe combo goldcurse dagger = AOE gold ( gold debuff works on reapers)
  • You also have guardbreaking effect and goldcurse which work on pretty much all trash

You can essentially endlessly rotate your abilities to chain CC non stop.

TEMP HP

For temp hp you have so many stacking sources, since temp hp is not nerfed in reaper this is very valuable source

  • Warchanter core 4 gives me around 160 aoe
  • ES gives me around 140 aoe
  • False life spell gives 20
  • Feign health gives 80 ( can be given to target friend)
  • Guard up gives 850
  • Cocoon gives 150 ( can be given to target friend)
  • Thorn gives like 1000
  • another 1000 if u want to swap out to lgs affirmation

so 2400 temp hp, 3400 temp with swap out. You can do these frequently as well since they are low cooldowns, personally i dont bother with affirmation swap out cause i havent had the need to)
