The only barb tanks I've seen were all dwarfs using the con to dmg racial enhancement. Dhampir doesn't really add anything. Also, the occult slayer tree sucks, you'd be better off using ravager tier 5 for self-healing and kd immunity.

If you just want a warlock past life, I don't see the point of going inquisitive. Blaster warlock will be far better than inquisitive until you're close to cap. If you want an effective inquisitive build for cap play, I don't see what warlock brings to the table, wizard ek sounds better in every...

If you think heroic leveling is a grind, then what do you even call the TR wheel, or farming reaper xp? As others said, never get lvl 19 before you're capped on heroic xp. Also, never repeat content. Honestly, unless you're sick of Sharn, the 17-20 stretch of heroic leveling is fast and easy...

I'm pretty sure that by the time you finish that awful grind, assuming you don't burn out doing it, the next xpack will be out and a good chunk of that newly-made gear will no longer be BiS. But you do you, I guess.

Dire charge has a lot of problems imo. The first is that it's in competition with quick cutter, which does far better AoE damage. The second is that its long cd and distance requirement means it's a once per fight strike, meaning you need a second epic strike for dps anyway. The third is that...

You should look at the description of the heroic durability feat that everyone gets at lvl 1. Combat feats do give a large bonus to hp that stack with everything else (up to a limit of 4), and personally I find the extra hp much more useful than most of the caster feats you can get. The goal is...

I have to admit, I think immunity stripping has dumbed down the game a bit too much, but it's necessary for any caster since all casters are meant to specialize in a single element now. That said, making fire immunity stripping needed to complete a raid is a step too far imo, and whoever thought...

From my experience, fire is much better damage against non-immune mobs since firestorm is generally better than sunburst, not to mention that celestal bombardment is fire too. But light doesn't have to deal with immunity problems and clerics don't get immunity stripping unless you go high in the...

I agree with vryxnr. You do know you don't actually have to kill anything in wilderness areas, right? Just run past everything, preferably on a mount and start quests at full hp and sp. Or if you want to do slayers that badly, just locate a shrine and use it before starting quests.

No offence, but if you're a dedicated solo player, why do you need raid items? Those aren't necessary to solo quests. The fact is, DDO was originally designed for cooperative group-play, and the devs have already made lots of changes to cater to solo players. Why do you want to change some of...

I have to admit I find it baffling that SSG has done absolutely nothing about this, it should be really easy to identify the perpetrator(s) just by looking at the ASAH transaction history.

*sigh* NO! Do you really think veterans need *more* power when they already complain that current content is too easy? More importantly, past lives already give a lot of power, and the last thing the game needs is a bigger gap between first lifers and completionists. Seriously, stop asking for...

It's not a bug at all, players may take only 1.2 times the damage from mobs, but traps or environmental hazards on reaper do a lot more damage than on elite by design. That being said, with the proper preparations, that quest is not hard on r1. Acid absorb goes a long way...

I have to agree that while the traps in epic Cove may be overtuned, that's simply because that content was engame for a short while and IIRC trappers at the time were complaining about not being needed in groups anymore. I don't see a problem with some quests in the game being trap-focused and...

You may be amused all you like, but DDO not being designed for hardcore is a simple fact. You can't even complete Shroud (which was the most popular raid in the game for a long, long time) without dying. And while I'm sure there are people who can play hardcore on high reaper, for most players...

If you choose to not take the deal in Cabal that disables the traps while you're not playing a toon with the ability to survive the traps, that's entirely your fault imo. And I have to agree with Alternative. Hardcore isn't really the intended way to play DDO, and I seriously doubt the devs are...

No. Don't you think that past lives already grant plenty of extra power? We don't need to make the gap between first lifers and completionists even wider than it already is. Not to mention that your idea would kill the whole point of multiclassing.

I think so because they call it a grind. If they actually found doing heroics lives fun, they wouldn't call it that. Personally, I enjoy a lot of the heroic content, since it's more varied than endgame one, but unless you go out of your way to do heroic lives on higher reaper (or find some other...

Yes i know about those, thank you. My point was more that people tend to be way too focused on getting as many past lives as quickly as possible, while not taking the time to actually have fun along the way. The fact is, you don't actually need past lives to have a strong toon capable of...

Why would anyone do that many racials back to back? You do realize you're complaining about a smallish grind making it a bit longer to do a much bigger grind, and then you wonder why people aren't all that sympathetic. Anyway, I do agree it would be nice to make getting a TR heart more...
