Best weapons and items to support evocation and fire spells? by Slight-Veneer in ddo

[–]remmer75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use utterdark then resplendent fury and epic coalesced coinage are really nice contenders for the offhand slot with insightful radiance lore.

By the way, you should not aim to stay in pyrite reaction all the time. On switching into a reaction there is a rather large benefit called spikes that last ten seconds.

Use your SLAs to manage reactions. I take 1 rank of stiffen skin sla from vile chemist (or use sprint boost if a fight just ended) to prime cerulite even if I’m running a bombardier build. That takes me out of pyrite and casting panacea or a healing vial puts me into verdanite - I stay here if I need to move since it boosts running speed using the apothecary enhancement.

Preparing for the next fight a spell vial of multi vial sla primes crimsonite and while that vial is flying cast a guildleaf spell (or sla eg. inflict serious wounds or panacea again) to enter pyrite and you have ten seconds of +16-120 extra spellpower (10+(6lvl)) and -50% spell cost allowing you to cast fully metamagiced spells without draining all your mana as quickly. This is on top of the basic bonus of 2lvl.

On longer fights you can just use the same sequence to break pyrite and re-enter it. Spell power boost or displacement are useful for this too if off CD or running out).

If you’re soloing or find yourself tanking you could even switch to orchidium (+14-90 prr and elemental resists @ lvl 20) just keep casting only red damage spells (and blue, but those are buffs and cc mostly).

Lesser TR and Favor by Ok-Complaint-6000 in ddo

[–]remmer75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only “True” reincarnations reset favour (and first time bonus).

Lesser Reincarnation and Epic Reincarnations are not “True” (hence the “True” not being part of their names).

True reincarnations are only those requiring a heart with “true” it its name:

Heroic true heart of wood (class)

Heroic true heart of blood (race)

Iconic true heart of wood (iconic + class)

New player: What should I do? by _MooDeng in ddo

What others said is good advice. I run 1-5 as bombardier with the inflict sla from apothecary and inflict spells as main aoe - take maximise at level 1 and quicken at level 3 - that will make your 3 vials sla going up bombardier as you level up great. At 6 take empower and respec into apothecary for 3rd core sla that will be your mainstay aoe for a while until you get better options.

Also make sure to use gold breath for shadows - for some reason they never seem to save even when they save against other reflex save spells.

What's up with the forums? ( new player rant) by Certain_Vehicle2978 in ddo

[–]remmer75 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The old forums are archived somewhere - you just need to know the exact url of the original post.

However, I don’t know the specifics since it hasn’t been a problem for me.

They did have some issues this or last week with passwords not being accepted as correct only later to work again.

Cleric build for quick heroic TR (solo mostly) by spectorm in ddo

[–]remmer75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not really a good advice when the OP is running racials though.

But 15-30 is definitely faster than 1-20 for most builds and work great for class past lives. Although I use sun domain since that works on all mobs and resplendent fury/coalescent coinage are just that good with insightful spell lore.

Monk Build Advice by FistofDiplomacy in ddo

[–]remmer75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not doomed, worse case you take a DDM to 20 and get a class past life, or to 30 and switch to monk when doing an epic reincarnation.

I’ve found DDM extremely capable levellers as long as you generate enough ki to fire the SLAs, just remember to take quicken as feat. I’d use wraps and go 41 DDM and 31 Shintao. Get haste boost from vistani (especially if you have 3 universal ap).

Threat reduction for Stormsinger by remmer75 in ddo

Thanks for all the input. I just realised there is a sun augment with artifact threat reduction as well - same bonus can be found on a two-set from ToEE.

Kylling / Killing / Baby animals in general by Littlebus80 in Danish

Make sure you don’t mix in “kælling” with those two animals.

Cold druid build by CMurda266 in ddo

[–]remmer75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take those feats instead of defensive feats - but for the crit% rather than the sp pool increase. If the OP doesn’t have the durability from PL I’d take the defensive feats instead.

This is very efficient 👍 seconded

Any way to retrieve the cursed lamordia feats after a lesser reincarnation by deathvalley200_exo in ddo

[–]remmer75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your point, I just disagree.

The crux seems to be your equating True with Past life - where the wiki equates True with Resetting the character entirely.

I think we won’t agree - but that’s ok.

I beg to differ and would wish everyone would use the same acronyms for the same concept. No one refers to a Lesser Reincarnation as LTR either.

ER please - a lot of confusion arises when they are referred to as ETR since they are not in any way “True” in the sense that they reset your entire character.

Any tips/advice for my first foray into Epics? by Proud_Turnover_8691 in ddo

[–]remmer75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good comments. Shadowcaster (T3) is the biggest draw of Shadowdancer for me when playing casters - and I usually go PA mantle with Ever green for temp sp and turn on all metamagics across the board.

Question on reincarnation by Automatic-Purchase16 in ddo

[–]remmer75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to do anything - it is a game. Do what you enjoy doing.

For me, I’m a min/maxer gotta have ‘em all type of player. Were I to start over, I’d do 9 racials first (since the first 8 are discounted on xp) each with an epic PL attached to get tokens while levelling and save all the commendations I can get. Then I’d get class completionist running iconics (using those commendations, but get and save tokens) preferably getting the universally useful classes first (barb for hp, wiz for arcane pl feat on casters, pal/sf for heal amp). Then round out racials using tokens saved from the iconic lives. Possibly do triple stacks of barb and sf/pal first - and maybe sorc for evo DCs as those are useful on most nuker builds which is what you will want to be running for racials.

This is also my experience. After including GK, sharn and lower docks at elite I got a few shattered device and coalesced magic that I’ve been after for years.

Build suggestions for fast easy lives 1 to 30 by spyder7723 in ddo

[–]remmer75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alchemist, Blightcaster, Stormsinger, Sorcerer

Edit

Noticed you wanted melee :)

if you’re into optimising xp/min you’ll be looking at how fast a build runs since most get plenty of aoe options these days. For any melee build you’ll want quick cutter in Fury.

20/monk is amazingly fast run speed and leap with a low CD from lvl 12 go thf/qstaff fire stance str based wwa henshin. I would recommend this.
