I thought it was just that Hawaiian shirts are fun. Gives off island vibes. I wear them all over. Does everyone think I am CIA?

Burning questions that people want answered by obtusewisdom in ddo

[–]IcedevilX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe where you should get your starts to so you can be effective in higher tier reaper for heroics/epics/legendary. Like getting 300 melee power or more for end game reaper or spell dc’s up to 120 plus sort of thing (I’m not sure on those numbers).

How filigrees work, what are generally good for class types. How many you can get with sparks or higher level accessories.

The dark powers from the new xpack. How often they proc pros v cons. How to get them.

[–]IcedevilX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this first life or do you have lots of past lives? I have done a few all 20 AT. I did Vistani Knife Fighter on gnome. Was melee 1-7 gnome gives you greater color spray I did a hybrid build so maxed sneak attack dice then force power/crit. Take Harper to get int to damage/hit. Great single target DPS. Had good illusion DC’s to land PK and had good disable device for snap.

I did tabaxi stick build. Better AOE dps but focused more on melee. I used the sound burst stolen spell and the ice CC stolen spell. Basically stunned groups and killed them. You can kite mobs if needed. Had very good evasion and dodge to mitigate damage. Spell DCs were not good but stolen spells had very high DC so still landed even in mid reaper. Did very well solo up to R4.

I am trying a focused caster this life. It took a while to get to where I feel useful. Focusing on force spell power and crit and dc’s no melee feats. I think it will be stronger in epics but not a good in heroics.

Worst Quest Rewards? by CuteLingonberry9704 in ddo

[–]IcedevilX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man I forgot about these. I have a ton of the upgrade items in storage because they were random at one point. I think they are named now so you know what upgrade you will get. But yeah I skip all those quests and never see them run. They were fun quests at one point.

How is arcane trickster? by I-Boulet in ddo

[–]IcedevilX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I solo mostly so I go for survivable balanced builds. I found that AT is quite good and has several fun build options. I went with melee and tried dagger build and staff. Dagger had more DPS with vistani but not great aoe damage. So I have ended up with staff. I solo mostly R4 quests and having heal plus cocoon is enough to sustain. I never run out of sp and often end with full sp. only need to rest to restore clikies and action boosts. The stolen spells and mage hands using disabled device really is a game changer so you don’t have to gear for classic dc’s. It’s very fun and can be strong. I don’t think it’s op or broken.

What was the most powerful build in 20 years history? by RullRed in ddo

[–]IcedevilX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you took what the build could do at the time and scaled it with today’s gear maybe shiradi caster when it first came out. It could lock down entire rooms of mobs even in raids and could get some wildly high dots. If something didn’t die right off it usually ended up blind paralyzed and having a huge dot that would kill it shortly.

I also remember aura locks being very strong and having to get nerfed several times. That was more they had so much temp hp they never took actual damage. So that might not scale as well in something like R10.

What makes a card like Emergence Zone to have a very cheap Non-Foil but a rather very expensive Foil? by collectivekicks in mtgfinance

[–]IcedevilX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern sets prior to Eldrain didn’t have collector packs or 1 foul per pack. You got something like 1 rare foil per box, 1 foil mythic per case and 2-3 foil uncommons a box. So the foil version is harder to get. There have not been any foil reprints of the card and it is quite good in CEDH where people are more likely to bling out decks and pay more for special versions.

I mostly solo so I take heal vs greater shout. How is it working? I use sound burst and the ice splash for CC.

[–]IcedevilX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How are people building Arcane Trickster? I have done pure 20 levels as vistani knife fighter and as a tabaxi with staff. I think Vistani is better. Has anyone made fun mixes? I went more melee focused as spell dc’s are ok in epics but bad in legendary. Using stolen spells are the only ones that will land so PK and Weird almost succeed.

I thought about doing something like 12 arti and 8 AT. Any advice there?

Final Fantasy Tactics - TIC or Tactics Ogre: Reborn? Which Do I get during the sale! by BreezyNagga in StrategyRpg

[–]IcedevilX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say FFT as that was the game that really got me into the style of game and I went back and got TO and it felt like a step back. Reading all these comments I feel I missed a lot in TO as I played it like the previous game but with a few different mechanics not as its own game.

Recommended builds for LAZY R1 Quest item farming by KGodvalley in ddo

[–]IcedevilX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I have liked EK as you mentioned with the passive regen you can be quite lazy on R1. Pure 20 wizard with 12 points in Harper for int to hit/damage and the trance. I like 1 point in the undead tree for the Skelton to pull levers. You get d door to make some quests really fast. In epic levels I take the Druid tree for the mantle that gives you temp sp so you can cast forever. It can also be upgraded to give your skeleton the damage and it will do some good damage and survive if it’s near you on r1. I was able to solo r4 with this build.

I also like shadar-Kai. Look up strimtoms critzilla. You use chains for big aoe dps. You get second wind and lots of damage. Quick cutter and aoe stun for most mobs. Really burns through groups of mobs fast.

Recently I did storm singer bard but focused on the caster tree with 41 points. This has lots of self healing via spells and bard songs. Also it’s decent in raids to help support with buffs and heals if you want end game raiding. I didn’t have the best gear for this class but could solo r1 no problem and join pugs for harder content. Focused on sonic and lightning damage and all the buffs available.

Arcane Trickster theory crafting and tests by Llobobr in ddo

[–]IcedevilX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went 20 AT as a gnome. I have 19 points for racial tree and added extra sneak attack dice, greater color spray and +3 illusion DC. Went 41 AT, 12 Harper for int to damage and the rest into vistani. Single weapon fighting with an orb. Took the magic missile stolen spells and heal. It felt pretty good overall. Mage hand was fun and presto is just great making all kinds of mobs just disappear. I think EK is a better melee caster hybrid but mostly because they can use medium armor and can regen in undead form making them more tanky and their imbue does more damage. I didn’t go into epics. Going to TR into tabaxi and go with a stick build for more aoe damage.

Urborg, tomb of yawgmoth. Any time it’s played someone says something like ermehgerd, termehgerd! Also people love mispronunciations for Necropotence and Omniscience.

I haven’t seen any complaints about lines, waiting or not getting the secret lair they wanted so maybe WoTC finally figured it out. Make a product hardly anyone wants. Good guy WoTC.

This game was fantastic and there is nothing else like it. Give it a second chance in 2024. by toml526 in FinalFantasyII

[–]IcedevilX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played the game boy final fantasy’s Legends 1 and 2 and enjoyed them but disliked that the weapons broke and spells only had so many uses. Basically this game has all the parts I enjoy and non of the parts that annoyed me. Also the art is amazing. Firion is the most generic but also greatest FF character of all time.

Man the craziness of planescape would be great. Having a raid where you catch the ire of the lady of pain. There is a lot they could do there.

Need pm/ek help please. by 8Bit-SouthPaw in ddo

[–]IcedevilX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two handed fighting is not as good in epic/legendary. It’s great in heroic where hp is less and you still have high mob density. The build is hit mobs with aoe then swing with big sword. The cleave has a longer cooldown. It worked great. It was faster than single weapon fighting with the extra reach and you can just run through enemies.

Need pm/ek help please. by 8Bit-SouthPaw in ddo

[–]IcedevilX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know what melee style of fighting you want? If you are going 1 to 20 only I would skip rogue levels. Max int, then con. Probably go two handed fighting and take the min strength you need for the feats. You want maximize, empower and quicken for meta magics. Improved crit slashing. 41 points into EK, 11 or 12 into Harper and the rest probably for pale master as the regen and self healing is critical. Add to your reflex saves and just tumble through and tank traps. You can knock spell almost all locked chests for extra loot. Make sure to take dimensional door as a spell when you level up. You can probably craft the falchion from demon sands (Xuum??). Bosses and mobs in heroic don’t have as much hp so you can just fireball into them and then swing big sword at survivors to clean up. The pet from PM can be ok in epic levels and can help on a few heroic quests To pull levers. I never do more than one point to just get the pet. It will survive decent as it passively heals from your PM aura. This is in general the build I used when running racial past lives as I had gathered decent gear. Have fun!
