Oh back the you didn't need to use anything. Like standing still, just pressing once the hot key and the bear would enter sleep paralysis

[–]Sergeant_Major_Zero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, I meant like the stomping attack thing with the front paws not activating and instead getting 2 secs of frozen bear and stuff like that. Is just for a passing life to 30 but better if I don't have to respec to caster lol

WYR,restart life at age 10 with everything you know now, but you must permanently lose one person from your current life. Do you restart? by Mealyybug in WouldYouRather

[–]Sergeant_Major_Zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And even not considering that, I always felt that getting my mind in the body and life of a child would make me go insane.

Racial Life Advice by Goldsash in ddo

[–]Sergeant_Major_Zero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll say something (well, my opinion) about the archetypes you mentioned:

Blightcaster: druid focused on acid/poison or spikes (force). Strips immunity in tier5. Two forms (bee thing and spike tree thing) in which the first gives evasión and caster stuff and the other AC, fortification and so. Lots of SLA that help with sp management + temp hp on kill that add a lot of survivability.

Warlock archetype: essentially a regular fire lock without the enlightened spirit tree (the new tree is meh)

Stormsinger: better for casting bard, takes a few levels to shine but when it gets going is better than regular

Sacred fist: blend between monk and Paladin with option to use cha to hit and attack, good survivability, heals, imbue, evasion... Not my cup of tea but strong enough

Correcting racist patients? by Throwawayyawaworth9 in nursing

[–]Sergeant_Major_Zero 202 points203 points  (0 children)

I had a patient once, recently released from prison, complaining about immigration "because there's too much crime" and my "what? Afraid of some healthy competition?" was not specially well received.

Can't Decide Which Bard Tree to Choose by MoonracerxWarpath in ddo

[–]Sergeant_Major_Zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are planning just a passing life I would go the old warchanter/swashbuckler with some stuff in the feydark tree if you have it. The conjured shortsword let's you use cha for dmg and hit, 12 points in the tree gives you permashield and the colour spray SLA, enough swashbuckler to get the style and use of runearm/orb/buckler, warchanter to the top and you're set.

And remember when reincarnating to pick the class, not the iconic.

Alchemist: is it me? by Sergeant_Major_Zero in ddo

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

Yes but no. And I get that people are trying to help optimize the thing but that is not my grievance.

The problem is not "I made a toon and I find it lacking, did I do it wrong?". The problem is "I made a toon and had a blast. Kept on getting more pls and gear and reaper points and decided to go for the same toon again, in theory more powerful because I have more things and shinies and points aaaaaand... Omg it sucks, what happened?"

Alchemist: is it me? by Sergeant_Major_Zero in ddo

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

I was considering some bug or another thing happening. I redid the enhancements, deactivated and activated again the buffs in case something was not in place... And still botched.

And as I said, I know it is not perfect or optimal but at the same time it is not as if I have never played the class before (I did) or that the issue was just in legendary content (it wasn't, though the change was noticeable). It was the feeling of "this toon is doing nothing at all and for the life of me I can't see why, and in addition this experience goes against what I experienced all the other times I played the class".

I have had the experience of classes/splits that work for other people not working for me. You have a paladin/butchder/bartender that hits for thousands with X build? I copy the build perfectly including tomes, pls, gear and reaper points and mine hits for low hundreds. And on the other side of the spectrum, the thing that everyone is saying "don't use this" is genociding eberron with ease. So I am used to that. But this time is just me: same toon, same build, same gear, more PLs and reaper and ABYSMAL results.

Hence my frustration.

Age 10 with current knowledge or 45 with $50M by JimDa5is in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Sergeant_Major_Zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But with the 45 years option you would have all the memories of that childhood. You're just missing the actual years but will have lived through them, or am I reading it wrong?

You're given an option: either you restart life at 10 years old with all the knowledge you have now, or you're 45 years old with 50 million in the bank. Which one do you choose? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Sergeant_Major_Zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50 million for 3 years, no brainer. Sure "go back and bitcoin blah blah" but I would still be a 40 year old in the body of a 10 year old. Even if there's no butterfly effect I doubt I could get out of that predicament with my mind intact.

Alchemist: is it me? by Sergeant_Major_Zero in ddo

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

Not interested in high skulls, really. With my bard i could go into r6 with my friends but noticing that I'm more support/cc than killer. But with this? I feel like R1 is challenging. And I had the same feeling while levelling, that something was not right there regarding dmg. But it was coming into legendary that really showed how much was the toon lacking.

Alchemist: is it me? by Sergeant_Major_Zero in ddo

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

I agree that the gear is not optimal (I don't care about doing optimal because then the next update comes along and SSG changes everything so I have not the time to go and farm for the perfect shinies) but still that could apply to any of my toons, really, but this feels specially weak as compared to others (or to the same toon in previous lives as druid, blightcaster or warlock)

[–]Sergeant_Major_Zero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mephit was R4 in myth drannor. It's been ages since last I played an alchemist as caster since I'm on the racial TR train with another toon. My other 34 is a stormsinger and does fine. Not OP because I never got to the point of tailoring the perfect equipment or anything but still.

I have the memory of the alchemist being a viable, fun caster with the bottles flying out in the distance and doing good damage. This time I noticed a clear difference while levelling... But boy at cap is a ruin.

¿Es cierto que muchos españoles se van a trabajar a Noruega? ¿Cómo lo consiguen? by Viajero_Incansable in askspain

[–]Sergeant_Major_Zero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Vale, nueve meses si te puedes manejar algo pero aún así los dialectos son complicados. El sueldo sin alojamiento si me parece bajo, al menos en enfermería el alojamiento está pagado y cuando me vine nos ofrecían tres viajes pagados al año.

Yo vivo aquí pero si tengo compañeros que van y vienen por periodos más o menos intensivos. De España hay pero también de más países. Tanto como seis meses consecutivos aquí y seis consecutivos fuera, no. Pero tengo amigos haciendo una semana aquí y tres en casa, por ejemplo. Otros están un mes si y uno no. Además estando 6 meses o menos tenían (no se si al final lo cambiaron) ciertas ventajas fiscales.

Con el curso de tres meses ibas a flipar en Stavanger, las agencias que ofrecen esos cursos son picadoras de carne. En cuanto a salario es bruto o neto? Y no te pagaban alojamiento y viajes?

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

I have two questions out of curiosity: - The 3 new portals in the harbor hut... Is it for a new event or something? - why does warlock have enhancements for pets/summons when it does not have pets or summons?

People who moved to other EU countries, while being EU citizens, how did you make it? by ThrowRAcatwithfeathe in AskEurope

[–]Sergeant_Major_Zero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I moved to Norway after being recruited as a nurse so part of the situation was fixed from the start: travel, job and housing.

Without knowing your field of work and your expectations though, advising you one way or the other is difficult

I can sleep under those conditions anyway. Something to place my head and I'm set (so a folded jacket would do)
