    Lamannia U76 - Balance Pass

    Well excuse me if I didn't. Granted, that was quite a few years back. Balancing is a careful act of nerfing some builds while buffing others. If you only buff, you end up with endless power creep (which we've honestly also had too much of in DDO). I don't care if it's the maximum DPS. I care...

    I'm enjoying 100 slots and the character bank increase

    TBF, Blizzard recently destroyed most 3rd party tools, but not like modern day Blizzard is an example to be followed lol. Eh yes and no, FFXIV lets you play literally all classes at the same time on a single character, and somehow bank space is still not an issue for 90% of the players (unless...

    I'm enjoying 100 slots and the character bank increase

    I mean, you'd honestly expect the game to be dead but here we are. What I mean to say is, there's always room for improvement. And in those 20 years they really could've spent some effort on improving the gearing & storage system. I mean, it's a fundamental design flaw that most other MMOs have...

    Next Archetype?

    Yeah, except it's a race not a class / subclass tree. Tabaxi Trailblazer does not rule out Dragon Disciple etc. etc. That said, Totem is still my first choice; I was just responding to the question "what can Barbarians have beyond THF", and TWF / unarmed seems like the logical choice. On a side...

    The fact that this is necessary in DDO is honestly pretty insane.

    I'm enjoying 100 slots and the character bank increase

    Better than that would be just a single big searchable shared bank space with all your gear, completely eliminating the need for mule switching.

    Old-school vibes on Reaper 1… but is it worth it?

    Most people (especially those joining in 2025) join an MMO for the, you know "massive online multiplayer" part. Try throwing up an LFM on Normal / Hard and report back on how well it went and how long it took you to gather a full party. Personally, when levelling first-life alts, I've...

    Next Archetype?

    I'd love to see a Totem Barbarian, myself. Probably the most interesting and flexible barb subclass in 5e. Realistically, a Wizard archetype deserves to be next, but I'm afraid a blood mage / red wizard type thing will just turn out to be Dark Apostate #2. Maybe, can we just get them to rework...

    Lamannia U76 - Balance Pass

    I've tried switching back and forth on my recent DH life, but eventually I just gave up and now end up in AF 95% of the time. An odd / somewhat funny accusation, considering that I specifically mentioned that 1) I'd like to see other, more typical / intuitive new-player-friendly builds; 2) I'm...

    Lamannia U76 - Balance Pass

    I may have commented in your thread, but for impact - I think the best thing that could happen to AA at this point is to just get deleted from the game and replaced with a new, functional ranger tree. Then add a ranged AoE multi-select to Eldritch Strike and call it a day.

    Lamannia U76 - Balance Pass

    I go into it a bit lower in the post. IMO Universal trees should offer some unique flavor / extra power and synergy with a variety of classes / builds, not take over the entire build. I do agree with you on the second part, but there's a big difference between FvS and Inqui. For FvS, you need...

    Lamannia U76 - Balance Pass

    More like three feat slots (PBS + RS requirement), 19 DEX and high BAB (tough to fit in on non-martial multiclasses). It's a significant investment. Nerfing it into the ground with that 20% penalty was one of the worst decisions in the history of DDO. They should have at least made an exception...

    Lamannia U76 - Balance Pass

    I'd say having a complete kit in one tree makes you significantly stronger. Because APs are a finite resource, the less you have to spread them to get the basics - the better. And a complete kit in one universal tree is a bit too much IMO. Problem is, many people only compare high-end at-cap...

    Old-school vibes on Reaper 1… but is it worth it?

    All of this was predictable to the point that back when Reaper was first introduced, people warned that this is what would happen. The changes went through anyway and here we are.

    Lamannia U76 - Balance Pass

    No need to stomp all ranged builds just because Inqui is unbalanced. Repeaters are fine, bows are only just getting to the point of being decent, and GXB are still way behind.

    Old-school vibes on Reaper 1… but is it worth it?

    RXP is supposed to be very grindy and serves primarily to separate the minority of active players from everyone else. That said, you do somewhat have to join the reaper bandwagon, unless you're content to solo everything. Fewer and fewer people join non-reaper groups these days, heck, I've even...

    I'm enjoying 100 slots and the character bank increase

    It's not that it's "not enough". It's more like, it would be great to get an updated / improved gear management system in DDO. Having to spend hours flipping mules and / or keeping a spreadsheet just to keep track of your gear is very, very far from ideal. Things like cosmetic wardrobe...

    Lamannia U76 - Balance Pass

    I don't Cannith Craft enough to know the bug. But per DDO custom, if it benefits the players, it will be nerfed into the ground immediately. If it hurts the players, it will stay forever.

    If they wanted to help negative casters, they could've just given them an immunity bypass same as most elemental casters have.

    Lamannia U76 - Balance Pass

    Mechanic buffs are nice, but Time Bomb needs a full rework. Doesn't matter how an ability's damage is calculated if it physically misses the mobs half the time.
