DDO Character Planner - DDOBuilder Version 2

[Milo25]

Hello Everyone,

I have dropped support of V1 of the builder as V2 is filling out to the same support level as V1 with additional features and being easier to maintain.

A version of DDOBuilder version 2 is now available for use/evaluation.

Please report any errors that you see.

I am interested in feedback and also in people who may want to contribute to updating the data in the files to get everything working. There is far too much data for one person to handle, especially as I am trying to keep V1 running at the same time.

For those interested in giving a test run it can be found at: https://github.com/Maetrim/DDOBuilderV2/releases

Latest Release is: Build 2.0.0.57, Released on 12th April 2025 (U73 Game release)

New Features in V2

• Plan your character at any level
• Multiple lives / builds in the same file
• Most game data is now in external files to support easier updating
• More breakdowns available
• Better skill entry setup
• Favor Tracking
• Better Cannith Crafting support
• Automatic and Granted feats moved to their own areas
• Context sensitive help (In progress....)
• Spell tooltips will report approximate average damage
• Enhanced Forum Export for the newer forums
• Import build files from V1 of the Builder
• Wild Mage Archetype support
• U68 Eladrin race supported
• U68 Eladrin Chaosmancer iconic supported
• Import gear sets generated by the "https://ddo-gear-planner.netlify.app/#/affixes" website
• Ability snapshots for Trance effects
• Revert to original opened file feature
• In Development: DPS meter

Features from V1 that are still present

• Ability spend
• Skill points
• Tomes (skill and ability)
• Feat selection (and a custom ignore list)
• Past lives (heroic, racial, iconic and epic)
• Enhancement trees
• Spells
• Caster Levels
• SLAs
• Immunities
• Epic Destinies
• Reaper trees
• DCs
• Set stacks and set suppression by special augments
• Sentient weapon Filigrees supported for main hand weapons and Minor Artifacts
• Gear import from the DDO Named Gear Planner application

Comments welcome...

I can not get the Vistani Tree to show up, even with max ranks in all Favor rewards.

I can not get the Vistani Tree to show up, even with max ranks in all Favor rewards.

Just Vistani, or do you have the same issue with all favor-unlockable trees?

There are selectors at the bottom-left of the enhancement window to turn on/off the universal trees, since they can be acquired other than through favor as well

 

[Velspera]

Unsure what step I am missing, just downloaded V2 for char planner. First time using the planner, I don't see any application file to run the planner? I've skimmed through all of the files and don't see anything.

v 2.0.0.57 - The Bracers of Method and Madness has some weird text appearing in the middle of the item description.

I can not get the Vistani Tree to show up, even with max ranks in all Favor rewards.

Is this still an issue for you? Either method of Favor or the buttons under the racial tree in the enhancement view should allow Vistani to be a selectable option in one of the unused tree slots.

Bracers of Method and Madness

This item seems to have been fixed with a recent update to the Wiki item parser in build .58 (coming soon), as I re-did all the new items from U72.

 

[Dvinesword]

One thing that I just noticed. The reset screen layout button does not reset the layout to default. It doesn't seem to do anything at all.

I recently upgraded to builder v2 2.0.0.57 and cannot save or "save as" files. When trying to do so I get the following error:

C;\Users\MyName\Documents\....\Sample.DDOBuild
File not found.
Check the file name and try again.

This happens when I create a new file (Ctrl + N) from the File menu or import a V1 file and then try to save. Existing V2 files can be opened and saved without issue.

A few bugs I have noticed recently, which are still present in builder 2.0.0.58:

• Treachery: Stealth (Rare) Filigree currently provides +1 to Hide and Move Silently., however, it should be +2 to Hide and Move Silently. Also the +2 MRR bonus should instead be +2 PRR.
• Shadowdancer: Depths of Darkness +25% concealment bonus does not currently stack with the Lesser Displacement effect on items or the feat Scion of the Ethereal Plane, so Defensive Breakdowns > Displacement only shows a total of 25.00. However, in game, the +25% concealment bonus from Shadowdancer: Depths of Darkness does stack with Lesser Displacement from either an item or feat, providing a 50% concealment bonus. (FYI: Lesser Displacement from an item does not stack with Lesser Displacement from Scion of the Ethereal Plane)
• The trinket 'Legendary Pearl of Uncanny Prediction' has a duplicate mispelled item file called 'Legendary Pearl of Uncanny Prediciton'.
• The value for the StrengthofPurpose Buff within the item file for the Legendary Gloves of Tranquility is currently entered as -128, so it is resolving as +128 under Breakdown source for Unconscious Range, due to a fix in build 2.0.0.49 when the <NegativeValues /> flag was added to the StrengthofPurpose entry in the ItemBuffs file.
• Legendary Slavelords Suffix: Seeker +13 is currently only providing a +13 Competence bonus to Weapon Critical Damage. However, in game it provides a +13 Enhancement Bonus to both Weapon Critical Attack and Damage.
• Ultimate Fury: +1 Trip DC Filigree description currently states +1 Trap DC instead of +1 Trip DC. (It is providing the correct +1 increase to Trip DC)
• Shadowdancer Core 1 is currently named 'The Darkest Luck I'. It should be named 'Shadow Training'.

I feel like I'm going crazy. Either something's really broken (for me or the app) or I'm just not a smart man.
I'm supposed to be able to click on that red question mark and choose a class, right?
Clicking on it does nothing. The down arrow above it lists all of the classes and will fill in all of the levels with that class. But I can't multiclass at all..
Are I dum dum?

Click the arrow at the top, select the class you will have the most levels in.
Click the arrow in the second column it creates when you do that, select any other class, then click the squares to assign levels to that class.
If picking a third class, click the arrow at the top of column 3 (created when you select a class for column 2) and select your third class.
Click squares for any levels assigned to your third class.

To change levels between any of the three classes, click the squares under them. To change out one of the classes go back to the dropdowns.

Ah. So I dum dum. I can't be the only person... well.. maybe I am. Thank you!

I loaded Kali's Pale Master build, and the build point options are greyed out. I can't figure out how to enable them, so that I can change it to a 28 point build. Anyone know how to do this?

These are the buttons I'm talking about:

Select your past lives and it will update automagically

I'll get this changed to allow it to work the way you expected also.

 

[Belenian]

For whatever reason, I only have 70 Destinty Points in the Builder, although I have 80 in game. I have the correct amount of fate tomes and epic past lives in the file.

Instead of troubleshooting what the problem is, maybe just add a slider (or "custom" past live?) somewhere, where I can add points manually?

Looks like the feat is not setup to work for the base class of Monk. I'll get this fixed for next release. In the short term, this can be fixed manually by editing the file "Epic.class.xml" around line 3348 from <Type>ClassMinLevel</Type> to <Type>BaseClassMinLevel</Type> for the "Monk" entry in the feat in question.

A bug I have noticed in 2.0.0.59:

• Slavelords crafting "Legendary Seeker +13" is only applying its +13 Enhancement bonus to Critical Damage and not to Critical Attack, however, in game it applies to both.
