Hi there, There is a way to play iconic races like Deep Gnome from level 1. You create the character and enter the world, and he/she will normally have to speak to an NPC. At that point, you need to select the option 'refuse training'. You can then leave the area via a door, and you'll be level...

Hey there, glad you are enjoying the build :) Happy to comment: The only Epic Strike I use is 'Quick Cutter' 'The Sword Sings' is unfortunately required to be able to take the T2 spell 'Echoes of Discord', which is what I really want. All in all, I completely ignore 'The Sword Sings', it's...

That is a shame indeed. I do recall reporting this specific issue to Tonquin when the Draconic Destiny was being revamped. After the revamp, it definitely seemed to be working though, as I do recall both the Daunting Roar paralysis and the Lightning proc happening with Vortex. I definitely never...

I considered a few times changing the epic strike too, and even went with a melee option for a while (think I went Fury of the Wild) to test. I ended up bk with Vortex, it just felt more synergistic and hybrid-y: cold spellpower being a key reason, since it synergises with imbue die and cold...

Not sure if I mentioned it to you here, but I am on an extended break from DDO, so I am not currently active to test this, sorry. I've been trying to pop in and answer messages when I can just to try to be helpful really. This build first started using Dragon Breath Vortex in the days when it...

No worries, happy to share thoughts :) Enlarge spell metamagic allows you to cast spells 100% further (doubling distance). It does work on AoE spells, in the sense you can cast Otto's Sphere and Sleet Storm from quite far away. At a quick glance it does seem redundant for a build that operates...

I am not entirely sure if it procs on every tick, not done systematic testing on that. Combat can be quite fast paced, and lots of mobs around and lots of spells going make it hard to be sure of it. I'd hazard a guess that it does, based on how some effects like alchemical attunement, seem to...

I would second Terranigma's contribution, at least based on my personal experience. I don't particularly do the nitty-gritty maths to get the absolute max DPS with every single build, but rather work from specific objectives that I personally want each character/build to achieve in gameplay. I...

I use Energy Vortex for 3 main reasons: It deals damage every 3 seconds for 15 seconds passively, which means I get to do melee attacks interweaved with other spell casting while this dmg is being dealt by itself. I personally find this highly synergistic with hybrid builds Being a cold spell...

It's solely for the lightning proc chance, being an SLA = cheap to cast + free metamagics, and for AoE proc chance in between swinging my Falchion, but can't say I click it too often. Not a key spell by any means, due to its low max caster lvl cap, so do feel free to try something different if...

This build relies on several sources of damage, with cold being one of them, but not the main one. Without specific maths or systematic tracking, based on gameplay feeling: I'd say the main dmg is melee with falchions likely followed by electric dmg via passive procs (not via actively casting...

Thanks for pointing this out. I suppose I assumed the normal TWF rules would apply because this fighting style uses that feat line. I'm currently on an extended break, but will definitely look into this when I am back.

Hey there, Happy to comment, hopefully it will be helpful :) This build requires a +5 STR tome to qualify for the THF feats. An alternative could be starting with more STR and/or using some of your level up stat increases (starts @ lvl 4, then every 4 levels) for STR rather than WIS. No past...

Thanks, really appreciate your compliments :) I do prefer Water stance, as the defensiveness it grants suits my playstyle and the difficulties I tend to play. For air stance, I am quite certain the speed bonus (enhancement type) does not stack with the same type of bonus found on items, which...

This character was a PDK for a long time, so I collected lots of short swords. So I suppose it's kind of a personal preference. Swashbuckler stance makes short swords and rapiers have the same crit profile, so with this current race I use whichever piercing weapon that has the best effects on...

Hey there, I feel T5 Shintao could be a viable choice, and I would also second the opinion that you should try it and see if it fits your playstyle better. I still prefer Henshin Mystic, but that's a personal playstyle preference, rather than a min-max mathematical approach. I expounded a bit...

That's correct. It looks like I missed that info in the main post: just added it there now :)

Hey there, Even though Wizard is my absolute favourite class, I'm sorry to disappoint, but it's going to be a while until I can work on a new gear set for this build, for the following reasons: I play 23 active alts, currently 14 at endgame, so my efforts tend to be divided between several...

Just reached 50k+ views on my Barbarian Ravager build! That is indeed a first for me: first piece of content I have ever published online to reach this many views. Not an easy feat for sure: really, proud of myself! putting these builds together (which includes not only painful gear tetris...
