I dislike the soft cap above 200% solely because I feel stats should always work the same. Having an arbitrary point where a stat works differently is weird and awkward. Instead of a soft cap I'd prefer if some sources of doublestrike and doubleshot were brought down instead, so that we're not...

This, absolutely. The same happens with nearly all melee styles, too, to varying degrees. Unarmed while standing still and Handwraps while moving can gain around 30% dps just from spam clicking. Two handed styles can gain ~11-14% dps, and pretty much every other style benefits ~3-4% or so.

I don't know how everything will pan out, but at the very least thank you for taking a crack at balancing and improving so many things in the game. A lot of these systems have needed it for a long time. And my first impression is that most of the changes look pretty solid.

I have definitely felt at times that it would be nice to get tiers 4 and 5 with fewer points. Usually I get the things I want from tier 4 and then have to go back and grab some random minor bonuses to unlock tier 5. The current progression is Tier 2, 5 points spent in the tree Tier 3, 10 points...

I'd go even further, I think we should remove Trances from the game entirely. They're just a boring 2 minute button-press tax. And they're so strong that they're a mandatory part of any reasonable build, so they're a build tax, too. And you can snapshot them, so they're an item swap tax, too...

This sounds like a good addition to the game. Playing a caster as a new player is definitely awkward. When you don't know every quest and aren't sure when a shrine is coming up, it's easy to run out of spell points and end up being useless. So having something to fall back on that isn't "pull...

I'm glad that physical characters and spell casters will be affected the same again. I do agree with others that higher Reaper could be harder still, but that could always be saved for a more comprehensive Reaper balance pass. This is a good, simple change for now. I'm not sure how I feel about...

Will this affect offhand double strike as well? So if I have 160% doublestrike, will my offhand doublestrike at 80%? Or, with Perfect Two Weapon Fighting, 104%? (Which would mean your offhand could triple strike.)

While I do like the idea of bringing some relevance back to DR breaking, I think this is too heavy-handed. There are many areas of the game that end up locking us into one weapon type and pretty much one weapon overall. Improved critical feats, favored weapon feats, enhancements, Epic destiny...

Looks better! I like it. Here's a screenshot for those curious: (before on the left, after on the right)

That does make much more sense. Hopped on Lamannia and it looks good. Ship it!

Nice!

Mass dissolving?! The future really is here, and it's glorious. 🥲

That's unfortunate, but I totally understand. I was never expecting these changes in the first place, so the fact that they at least got partially implemented was a pleasant surprise. My fully summoner-spec'd flavor character will just have to stay... flavorful for the time being lol

I tested out as many augments on pet gear as I could since most of them have been fixed on Lamannia. Pretty much all simple bonuses work now, things like ability bonuses, elemental resistances, saves, PRR, MRR, Spell Powers, Deathblock, Ghostly, Fortification, etc. Even some pretty neat things...

Looks fun.

Thank you for these changes, I've been really excited each time you've done them. I was wondering when we would get another round. Concerning Lost Souls in reaper mode in general, I've always wondered why this mechanic was created instead of just simply applying a spell point cost reduction...

The Scythe still took damage and died for me in this preview.

Thank you for this change. While I'd personally still prefer Bigby's Hands to be reusable, (maybe a high one-time price to be able to reuse them forever) I will likely actually pick them up now. I never would have before. Now could we pretty please get a price reduction for Jeweler's Toolkits...

The problem with the Bracelet of Friends is that it's consumable. In my opinion, they should make it reusable and raise its price in the store. I would gladly make a much larger one-time purchase (in the hundreds or even a thousand and above of DDO Points) to use it indefinitely. As it stands...
