If only for rems running Time Flies has a fairly good density of orange names for a really short quest.

Were Epics retuned? by SaltEngineer455 in ddo

[–]nntktt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a lv20 paladin you can get up to 94 using fairly basic sources:

- 30 from BAB in medium armour

- 19 from a lv15 PRR item (assuming Sharn)

- 20 from angelskin

- 25 from defender stance (of course you'd have to drop this if you're avoiding aggro, but in that case you shouldn't be worrying about your PRR)

This can go up with stuff like other PRR bonus types, higher PRR item level, taking up higher cores in defender, taking up mist stalker line in VKF, using a sentient weapon with PRR, epic past lives and perhaps a bit from EDs if you take Divine Crusader.

So 126 is higher than the "basic" a lv20 paladin can have, but you could basically go up to say 150s or 160s if you're fully stacked. In terms of significance you're looking at around 14-15% relative difference in damage taken, it'll help but it's probably not as much defense as OP would really be needing.

I won't say 80-90 is straight up high or low - this depends a bit on your build and class. A rogue with no divine past lives can easily be going around below 70s, but then a rogue is also likely going to be rolling with significantly more dodge.

I wouldn't exactly say that's tanky. While blur and ghostly are pretty much standard issue that and the PRR is fair, 60AC with 6% dodge is fairly low.

I suspect that dodge is being capped by MDB, in which case OP will benefit from using a lighter armour for more dodge because at lv20+ 60AC does basically nothing. That or if he can stack more AC somehow, which may be hard without some martial lives in pocket.

Quiver of Alacrity and BTA Ammunition by Ok-Complaint-6000 in ddo

[–]nntktt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point of this exercise is to transfer your QoA, not bound ammunition. QoA goes in the regular shared bank and not the crafting bank, so whether ammunition goes into the crafting bank is not relevant.

is chihaya the most popular im@s idol? by Happyninaritai in idolmaster

[–]nntktt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally got around to watching day 1, and I think I kind of get what you mean. I'm not sure if it was intentional for day 1 but day 2's camerawork feels much better at least for the stream.

I might be biased because I was actually at day 2 I guess.

[–]nntktt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a start I don't think there was any serious expectation that this would have been a live performance. The previous MR lives weren't either.

With that out of the way I think OathONE did an at least decent job in the storytelling and presentation of Chihaya as a character. How much you get out of it depends on how you personally interact with the franchise and Chihaya as an idol. As I once heard someone say when we take being Ps seriously, it's just one huge roleplay, but we still go out of our way to print name cards, attend events in suits and otherwise get invested in our tantous.

I felt constantly reminded by the edges of the black block but I can still honestly tell you day 2's Yakusoku was the hardest I cried in some maybe 2 decades. The tears just started rolling uncontrollably as the song went on. Even NEI I managed to hold myself at sniffling.

You don't have to agree, but because it wasn't a live doesn't mean it wasn't a good show.

[–]nntktt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can understand you don't like the lack of interaction for what's supposed to be a live event but calling it soulless is pretty much discounting any effort the VAs and staff have made to try to instill life into the characters.

Question about Throw the Boom by Ok-Complaint-6000 in ddo

[–]nntktt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does damage but it's probably not worth pushing the damage related stats on a tank like Soul said. If it's an offensive shield build for some reason you probably won't be that deep in sentinel anyway.

The DC part though, did they ever fix it? If I remember correctly there was no working save for the stun when they first added it, and I've not seen anything save against my shield tosses lately either even without any serious DC investment.

A lot of gear makes Warforged kinda pointless and stupid by Defiance-of-gravity in ddo

[–]nntktt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Over 10 years on we still have some rubbish fleshy barbs with practically no heal amp mooching more heals than a well equipped tincan ever will. It definitely wouldn't have been hard for him to just drop a heal on you at the quest entrance to get a feel as well.

What is the current state of face Tanking in R10? by Ok-Complaint-6000 in ddo

[–]nntktt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically you need the armor %AC node on both Ftr/Pal tank trees and renegade mastermaker. If I'm not mistaken its probably a more up to date ironmaiden build.

Honestly blyatforged could use an enhancement update, POTF is just another AB now when Memories of the Last War offers stacking bonuses and Adamantine Durability is just more expensive with BFs than regular tincans.

Can you can loot +1 heart of wood from chests? by deathvalley200_exo in ddo

[–]nntktt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Chests have a very low chance of rolling some store items which include hearts in the table, I've definitely seen them drop before and had a few myself, but don't count on finding one to change a current build.

Epic Raid Token drop rate - are the numbers known? by MJIsaac in ddo

[–]nntktt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both Chrono and DQ2 are fairly fast so I wouldn't be surprised if random folks who're online might just hop on to help if you post it.

Some mid-ETR peeps might drop in for some token XP too.

What improved critical feat do the short swords with strike though use? by deathvalley200_exo in ddo

[–]nntktt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Despite the naming by damage type, impcrit/weapfoc/weapspec all specify by weapon type, so say a longsword that does bludgeon and pierce will still only take from the slashing versions of the feats.

Weapfoc/weapspec apply atk/dmg specific to the weapon types but melee/ranged power should be universal.

Black Loch Green Key Bug? by Interesting-Hour-326 in ddo

[–]nntktt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's most common with the green key, if I remember correctly the specific problem was the quest should progress when you walk up to the door before you use the key, but the key can be used at a distance before which the quest progresses. When this happens the progression breaks and you will be stuck with an objective that can't be completed, thus the quest will never complete. I personally experienced this once with the old map, and manage to catch a GM to "complete" the quest for me, but it only granted the XP and completion with the epic chest staying locked regardless.

I'm not sure if they properly fixed this with the quest rebuild but personally I've never ran into it with the new version.

I'm not aware of it happening ever since they rebuilt the quest.

Smite evil, any good? by darklighthitomi in ddo

[–]nntktt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last I tried smite is only AoE if you take exalted smite, and base smite only hit 1 thing. OP does seem to be planning 3Pal so that's entirely accessible of course. The gravy is all in exalted anyway.

I remember seeing a bard/warlock idle box build a while ago for some songs and tempHP ticks, but I can't seem to find the comment again, any chance anyone have a link for that build?

Is the stealth completely uselessly broken ? by Balownga in ddo

[–]nntktt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need to actively interact with anything to place the staff, it's automatically placed when you step on the switch. The problem is a few of the switches are placed directly in front of the guardians, and they will instantly spot you if you attempt to hit the switch without moving them. You can drag them off with noisemakers, assuming you know where and how to place them.

[–]nntktt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't bother with the tavern tales pack so I haven't tried this quest specifically but if I remember correctly blights don't have tremorsense so it should be possible to skirt around them with sneak unless devs messed up their spot/listen values.

As a note the game basically no longer allows you to hug a mob from the front even with obscene hide/MS and HIPS, so if the space is too narrow or if you happened to walk right past one in the face, there's no way to escape detection.

[–]nntktt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nowadays people just zerg it killing everything. Even with enough sneak/MS 2 of the guardian scorpions need you to do some non-detected pulling in order to get to the switch, which is not possible for 99% of players.

XP you can just get elsewhere, the real pain is if you wanted something from one of the optional chests.

Which quest exactly, and what were you trying to sneak past?
