    Fix Dark apostate, it should be a powerful caster.

    I have just wanted there to be truly strong T5 options for Dark Apostate. As-is, there's virtually no reason to take t5 in DA when taking t5 in DD is better for casting and t5 in Warpriest is better for melee. The second thing really hurting DA is that the Evil damage imbue only works on your...

    Newb question regarding Negative energy

    Unfortunately there are a large selection of mobs that are just immune to Negative Energy, and as was stated earlier, almost any high-level Divine spellcaster mob will cast Mass Death Ward instantly and make them and any nearby allies immune. If you are looking to go into Dark Apostate, either...

    Another unsolicited build idea: Dhampir Dark Apostate

    A year or so ago I played a caster DA into epics for a bit, I used the Mass Inflict spells offensively, as the Mass versions have standard spell range. They hit reasonably hard for Epic Hard (my character had almost no gear and nowhere enough reaper points to play Epic Reaper solo), but they are...

    Will they be updating the Dark Apostate enhancement tree?

    @Ungermax I ran a first life character that was 14/6 DA/DLord on Cormyr, and it was incredibly smooth. I'd use the DA imbue because it works on everything, light spellpower isn't a hard stat to get, and it scales better. Only thing is that you are stuck with your deity's favored weapon, but...

    Make unholy avatar(PM enchantment) dispel deathward neg immunity by the love of Myrkul. Or make it like energy protection.

    Ideally, would love a neg immunity breaker for Cleric/DA as well. Hell, make it a T5 enhancement in DA/PM. Or just some sort of "When you use a negative energy spell against a death-warded target, it deals Evil damage instead." If the game engine can determine (in most cases) if a mob is...

    Dhampir - Dark Apostate Vistani - build test for TR

    I've been curious about this combo myself, though I am more leaning towards Dark Bargainer for the race rather than base Dhampir.

    What Game Are You Currently Playing?

    I love Grim Dawn! I've played in the Community Seasonal League for the past several leagues as well. The Community League content has been so good it inspired Crate Entertainment to make yet another expansion for it. As far as other games I have been playing when DDO isn't scratching the itch...

    What Melee Class Could Use the Next Balance Pass

    Hell, smoothest first life I have ever had was my character on Cormyr when they opened it to non-VIP, DLord 6 / DA 14.

    Just another post trying to highlight the good points of ddo

    I do believe that a good portion of the negative sentiments are warranted - pricing, class/playstyle balance, inventory management. However, it's the gameplay and the overall experience that keeps me returning to DDO far beyond any sunk cost. The variation in the context of quests is one of the...

    What Melee Class Could Use the Next Balance Pass

    Might be biased as the IDEA of Dark Apostate is something I like, but both that enhancement tree and Warpriest need some love and updating to really be good compared to VKF for dps, and to say nothing of the hilarious power creep of DLord. The party utility of both Warpriest and the melee-ish...

    Melee Dark Apostate

    I recently made a new character on Cormyr before the new 64-bit server changes were announced, and my first life on that character was DLord 6 / DA 14 using SWF. It was a bit rocky early on, but incredibly smooth after getting the undead form. I put very little effort into optimizing the build...

    Help for a totally new player

    So one of the standout features of DDO is that when you get to a certain level, your character gets the ability to Reincarnate. The level you need to reach varies based on the type of reincarnation, but it's essentially a way to New Game+ your character! For now, just focus on learning how the...

    New to Warlock: some questions

    The wiki should have most of your questions answered, but I do know the answer to at least two of your questions. Eldritch Blast (the attack) is affected by things like pots and anything that boosts Evocation DC and/or your pact damage , excluding metamagics. However, SLAs that use your...

    DDO culture question 3: Rescue missions

    I try to rescue a downed player if I can, but if someone hares off completely away from the team they either need to be able to handle themselves or wait till we get around to them. The only time I abandon an attempt is if it's not possible to reach them or that they are at the beginning of a...

    Things Lamordia Needs to Add/Update to Save DPS Casters

    The huge hurdles that casters have to jump through in order to be effective has actually kept me from playing a full caster, and instead have moved to Kali's Dark Apostate build to feel like spells play a real part in what I do without needing the massive investment to just feel okay, never mind...

    Axel: Dhampir Full Breakdown and Analysis

    Unlikely that they will. They have left the Inflict spells at Touch range for ages, and the time to change that would have been at the launch of the Dark Apostate archetype. The Mass versions that Cleric gets are ranged, however. Also, most paths to an undead form go along with some form of...

    DDO culture question 2: Loot offering

    If I'm with new players or I don't need anything from a quest chain I'll ask if anyone is looking for anything before we begin, but that's kinda it for me for offering to other players.

    Cormyr is Opening to Everyone!

    I would like to also bring up that daily gold rolls for VIP are not currently functioning.

    Clerics (and by extension FVS), Radiant spells, Domains, it all could do with some work.

    I would absolutely love for some of the power of War Domain to be removed from it and sent into War Priest. I did a life with Animal Domain and I really liked the untargeted charge attack and the HP boost, but War Domain is so strong I am really gimping myself in not taking it when playing Melee...
