Hence, if you want to cry about how OP someone's caster / melee / ranged build is, then don't do it Anywhere.
Corrected it for u. Thx
Or Sub-Heroic, as the case may be.

If you're using Orchid as a melee strike...then just use Lotus instead

T1 SLAs are hardly Heroic either, should we complain about them too? Should we demand that Sorcs get DBF SLA right from L1 so we can be heroic heroes?
Epic Strikes arent meant to be marquee abilities on their own...they're meant to be the basic meat-and-potatoes attacks in EDs, not a step up from L20 stuff. Because they dont replace the L20 stuff, they complement it. Epic Moments are what are supposed to be actually epic, and generally they are
The point here is... Epic strikes should feel real epic. They don't feel much epic right now.
My opinion? Epic strikes SHOULD be marquee abilities.

To be fair there should never be 1-hit or 1-spell that can do 80-90k in damage. Sometimes it is important to make adjustments to keep the game balanced and within cartoonish content.

Lemme correct you, its an mmo, mmo's dont need balancing. Go to WoW or Final Fantasy for instance

(Rolls eyes) You deserve an E-cookie and a pat on the head young man!
Idk, if we get the skill at epic lv 0/1, I'm okay with them feeling like a comparatively lower-level spell in epic content.
How many players do you see using lv 1 damage spells, even with full metas, in late heroics-nevermind epics? The fact that the epic strikes have functionality and scaling beyond early epic levels is an added benefit to the player (And likely a side-effect of their only being 10 epic levels, as opposed to 20 heroic).

But it's OK when mobs do it to players though right? Cause last time I checked, many mobs don't have caps to their MCL.

logic would dictate that an Epic strike should augment or replace your regular melee/range/spell attack. But, the epic strikes mostly suk or are often bugged. /example People been hating on Adrenaline for years because is kind of works and some of those that the destiny is not relevant to, seem to like voicing their displeasure.
discussions of DDO, outside of ''in-game'' stuff, run a pretty crooked circle... but when players success with a build depends on bugs, exploits, and SECRECY, of course there will be a ton of complaining and discontent along the way from the community.
I'm kind of just reading up this week to see what players discovered with the last update. But the Forum really feels so negative, that it's like torture to read sometimes.
*if there's EVER a DDO 2, I really hope they have the tooltip automatically calculate what our average damage would be for our intricate combos of power and equipment. I'd prefer to ''play '' a build rather than waste days or weeks to ''test'' it for viability.
People that don't ever read the Forums have no idea if an ability is a bug or an exploit or just good planning. That leads to hard feelings on both sides of this murky pond.
This game is pretty amazing actually. With all its problems, it is still pretty darn cool and commands a nice tiny player base big enough to keep the lights on.

I have played both WOW and FInal Fantasy and this is a big part of why I don't play them anymore. I disagree MMO's need to be balanced.

Of course it would not be OK. However, mobs don't hit players for near the HP damage and you know it.
