If one chose to be a Draconic Incarnation based around ice the T3 Scales of the Dragon is a 50% absorb of the chosen element on top of the 15/level ablative.

Initially the feat was taken by almost all builds at least once because it was a prerequisite for taking additional enhancements for even more hit points. So it was a one feat cost for a benefit of fifty to sixty HP. With the current way the game works I would not suggest increasing the HP gains...

Well quite simply the Carnifex is the absolute strongest two handed option available at low levels. A lot of builds will use it until they can pick up their free minimum level 10 weapon choice from the Mists of Ravenloft DLC. https://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Carnifex Sadly the epic version of the...

Early game the answer is YES. Its very hard for greatswords to trump a Carnifex at low levels when the player won't have the improved critical feat and a raw 17-20x3 is simply massive. Late game you are a bit more build dependent on getting value out of a given greataxe versus having something...

People really do not appreciate being rug pulled progression wise and told they now need to play only on lower difficulties than they were doing in the past. Heck I've got a couple games that have four standard difficulties and then an inferno mode with 100 discrete additional levels of...

Yeah they don't stack. The other two more situational resistance bonuses are just trumped by the blanket coverage of the third property. RNG loot generation did a silly thing here.

I'd be amused at a pack of HC types doing a level 22 base quest that is known to be bugged in only level 12 equipment. There is a reason why that quest became dead content. I was commenting about how just saying don't run content you don't find fair and fun leads to content that nobody runs...

Oh yes, completely free to just not run a quest that is suddenly harder by an order of magnitude. Well that is what happens when word gets around that a given quest is wildly overtuned. Thereby leading to dead content. Perhaps you would do well to remember that when they re-tuned environmental...

Take away past lives, take away crafted gear, take away reaper points... Remember back to when prestige classes were significantly simpler and had requirements like toughness, mental toughness, and skill point thresholds? How about when the earliest +5 you could lay hands on was the Threnalian...

And from experience, a few like the mephit are pretty common but you can go long stretches without a couple of the mummies or gnolls showing up at all. The odds of them showing up are most certainly not equal.

In an effort to reduce server resource usage we're shrinking the number of floors and hookpoints in guild airships to speed up load times. We are also pleased to announce additional new exciting service contracts for airships that further combine multiple services into one hookslot for level 90+...

Tsk you want terror? In the interests of having the players appreciate playing all content longer two changes are being made. First is that players can no longer store levels to skip past certain level ranges. Instead excess XP is simply specially banked and doled out as an extra 5% bonus to...

Hah. They might have more takers if VIP gave one free past-life of player's choice each month. The game is a treadmill at this point, and the whole shtick of VIP is making the journey faster. So why not let people choose to be able to skip having to buy and play through certain iconics, racials...

A lot of having a huge number of options is flavor. As for players avoiding using the non-meta stuff... welcome to players optimizing the fun out of the game. The problem being there will *always* be several at the top via virtue of minimal investment requirements, best-in-class output, or being...

There is a reason I specifically specified only elemental spell power and none of the light/alignment/positive/negative stuff. And additionally it doesn't make up for the innately low DCs you get stuck with from wand and clicky casts. Sure you can stack on three wizard past lives for another +6...

A gigantic chunk of why wands are garbage at damage is that wand and scroll power is the only scalar they have. Healing wands and heal scrolls benefit from both that and healing amplification at the same time. Now if they gave us a feat that would at least let us use our elemental spell power...

And as I've got a 2nd lifer that did the 30 and 20 deal themselves... it can only open Hard in heroics. So no, one cannot instant elite from doing an epic and true reincarnate. It takes TWO TRs to get the ability to open on elite in heroic.

Electric has general better application than cold in lower level content. Pretty much every skeleton no-sells cold damage. But there is an interesting usage for cold damage for a ML8 weapon when you are running through the Sands of Menechtarun since all the desiccated zombies out there take...

Other than some really early days in this game involving insanely high armor class blackguards that could only be hit by perfect BAB before bonuses ballooned to gargantuan sizes and before attack rolls against armor were refactored... I don't give much thought to BAB in this game. It no longer...
