Hello, folks! I'm afraid I'll have to suspend the challenge indefinitely, since I've been barely motivated enough to play the game at all for the past month. It may just be a temporary burnout, I may or may not be back soon, but this is gonna be the final report for a while: Got 146 quests...

I meant one or two more good single target options to add to the rotation, not to be used exclusively. I like the suggestion of a good DoT with several stacks, as that would indeed help with the bosses but keep regular fights under control - the current DoTs are mostly a DPS loss over the...

Managing the damage output is not an issue, since I have over 100% threat reduction - very rarely, if ever, I get the boss' aggro while the hires/summons are alive, unless I mess up. The reason I said removing the nerf would be nice but not the best solution is because while without it I'd...

Ok, so amidst all the talk I decided to run the same quest on the video posted earlier, doing about the same path and fights on my Stormsinger. While the path to the boss took longer, most of the extra time was due to the summoning, buffing and overall management of the hires and summons - the...

When the game starts to get too easy, you gotta think of ways to challenge yourself or risk simply losing interest in playing at all. I've got all the PLs I want, I'm reaper capped and don't need to farm anything at the moment, so "completion speed" doesn't really matter to me. What I want is to...

It looks like we're creating our own vicious cycle here, haha. You seem to think it falls on the devs to create a demand for other kinds of challenge - I'm saying it falls mostly on the players to do so. It's already harder to create a more varied ecosphere as far as playstyles go than to focus...

It's really a "what came first, the chiken or the egg?" issue - why would they make other options more valuable and useful, when that takes more time and resources, which they're already severely lacking, and giving people more DPS will make them shut up for a while, till the next wave comes...

Boosting or nerfing are not really much different, as long as done fairly - it's mostly a matter of establishing where the baseline difficulty should be and whether roles should be important or not. I do fear the game has become too easy for those at the top of the chain, though - and I include...

Like I said, this is subjective to some extent - I do still find myself useful in r10 groups. But even if that was completely the case, then wouldn't you agree that simply giving casters the same DPS would push things further in the wrong direction? If CC is not as needed as it once was, then...

It should go without saying that this is a matter of opinion, not absolutes, so I'm not claiming you're wrong in wanting more DPS. I've said it myself I'd love to do more DPS and that I think it would be nice if they removed the r8+ penalty, even though I don't think it's as big of a deal as...

I'm sorry, I really tried to find the context in which saying "if ALL one cares about is kill counts they may be playing the wrong game" is the same as saying "kill count means nothing", but failed miserably. Not to mention the conditional "may", which makes it clear it's more a suggestion than...

As a T5 Stormsinger, I don't even have Hold, Mass - I open every fight with an enlarged, heightened Soundburst then, if soloing, Sleet Storm, then GoBW, then my regular rotation with Horn, the shouts, echoes, chain lightning, etc. with an aditional Soundburst if the mobs are not dead in 6...

As someone who has flawless r10 solo completions of close to 90% of all the legendary quests in the game (and growing) while playing a Stormsinger (which I don't think anybody would say are near the top of caster DPS to begin with, with or without the nerf) which is also focused on using hires...

This was another one of the toughest completions so far. Had to change my Destinies setup up a bit to beat the end fight, but finally got it: 141/165 Done (130 published, 11 more scheduled for publishing, 24 to go). Cheers, NH

It's ok, I'm sorry if my reply looked aggressive, it was actually tongue in cheek. In all honesty, I would love if my build got nerfed, because that would mean my channel actually created enough buzz that a significant enough number of people started to use it to justify action from SSG, which...

Oh, I thought you actually knew about any actual nerfs, but it seems you're just one of those 50 people you warned me about. :) I very much doubt SSG would actually decide to use their very busy time amid all the lag and engineering issues that threaten the very game's survival to "nerf" a...

Ok, I'll bite: which nerfs? Cheers, NH

Goal update: all the lag has really slowed down my progress, together with the fact there are just the hardest ones left. But I'm still moving forward, albeit on a slower pace. Got 138 quests done (125 published, 13 more waiting to be published), 28 more to go... Here's another sample, one of...

This has been discussed recently on this thread: https://forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/what-did-you-do-to-hirelings.15301/ They do seem to be doing better since the last update that addressed some of the lag, though, at least in my experience. Cheers!

Howdy, folks... I thought this would be a great quest to showcase the usefulness of investing in stealth skills for soloing high reapers: Cheers!
