Stars Completionist Tanky Healer

[Shinku]

So then they're not better on live than they are on the builder. Got it.

my ddo builder spellpower on a druid is off by 200 so it is wrong xd

If your in game stats are different, then I'd suggest sharing screenshots/updated stats here instead as the stats above are misleading.

If you want suggestions on how to improve the build to be more tanky and have better healing stats, I'd be willing to help you, but fair warning 95% of the build choices are going to change. All depends on your end goal as I said in my first post.

Thanks, but I dont actually need or want your input after this whole chain. As was stated at the very top of the first paragraph, this is to make my life easier when picking feats while leveling.

That's fine. I figured I'd offer since you mentioned constructive criticism even though you really don't want it. The real problem here is the title of the post. Don't complain about people calling out certain stats/choices when you say your build is for one thing when none of the choices made reflects that.

Saying this build is a "tanky healer" and then proceeding to not have gear, filigrees, or feats that support either of those things is misleading. If you made this to "make your life easier when picking feats while levelling" then change the title to "Stars levelling cold druid" and not "Stars completionist tanky healer"

Certain stats/choices? there was nothing other than "this is bad" that was said. Thus my decision that I don't want to hear from any of you. Had you stated with anything along the lines of "maybe try this piece of gear instead of that" or "maybe instead of this feat you could have chosen that one instead" or "why this specific feat at this level, or that piece of gear", I would have been very willing to listen and explain why I did what I did, or why I have on any specific piece of gear.

You name your posts what you want. This is named for what its going to be doing (and doing quite well), despite what forum trolls may think.

your hit points need a lot of work. your prr/mrr are ok but could use some work.

my main issue is the lowish pos sp and the crit chance.

Be honest, you got defensive the minute I said that you should clarify the intended purpose because the title of the post is misleading. If you want to continue to post builds, go for it, no one is stopping you. But expect similar responses from the community when you continue with misleading posts.

Feedback is a gift. Particularly from the calibre of a player such as Dom. What's more all of us could learn how to tweak what you have there. And what you have there is amazing. Good grief the amount of work in a Completionist. If you wanted we could change the tone of this thread to like more of a ... discussion?

be honest? easily. I can look back at the thread and see that I was answering your questions that had already been answered in the first paragraph of my post. then there was a bunch of mud flinging, you did a tiny bit of saying why you had some concerns, then you just added in on the mud flinging

I feel bad for the other healer(s) in there.

and only after this entire debacle, did I post anything additional, and that was mostly a minor attempt to cool things down.

This was also when I decided that you don't have anything to say that I care to hear about, and have been posting replies mainly because I'm bored and you all amuse me with your attitudes.

It would appear that in the update next month they are making a Dom Rock so you can crawl under it

Yeah, me asking you to clarify the purpose because of how the title was misleading due to the choices made was the polite way of telling you that your build is not doing a good job of the supposed purpose of being a "tanky healer". I would expect nothing else if I were posting a build claiming it does a good job of doing xyz when it doesn't.

Obviously you have not been in our raids as you have no idea, BUT we are not privy to the good players in LD that GIVE you builds as we all know you can NOT do one on your own and take the credit as well as running others down

That statement sounds like a threat to the poster. He simply put up a build that works great. Looks like he took alot of time.to post it.

Now whatever this person posts as a build is going to be harassed?

These responses are from the community, they are from you and and handful of people that post with you.

I do agree it's a little unusual to post a tanky healer build with no positive crit. Some potential gear improvements:

-Swap helmet scale to force spell crit, augment wisdom. (Free 20% force crit damage, you have plenty of open aug slots).
-Swap weapon to a dino stick (you'll lose 2% crit and can aug the SP in the extra slot you get, free debuff+Legendary Alchemical XYZ slot or Affirmation). Debuff more than makes up for the loss of 2% crit, it's ~21% extra damage.
-Run mysterious bracers instead of ironclad armbands. Net +7 MRR, +20 or so hamp, and you can aug parrying.
-Run a dino belt, aug set 30 PRR, swap helm to crown of leaves (transfer dino augs from helm to belt). Net +1 fil slot, +2 profane well rounded, +1 wis.

I'd probably rebuild the set to use Elder's, but that would take more work.

Also drop the emerald of arcane empowerment. If you're ever meleeing something on this build, something has gone terribly wrong.

Thank you, ill have to add these to the builder and see what changes (I also think that my actual healer filigree stuff is in a different weapon, I got the gear mostly right, but it was the feats I was making the post for, and then dom posted and the resulting thread happened).

As for the emerald of arcane empowerment >_> that's a leftover from an imbue build that I haven't removed yet because I haven't needed the slot back. xD

Elders set would stack with Hruits (specific spellpower and universal) just needing a gem of many facets for both so I just keep going back to Autumn for it.

I just keep not liking the changes when I change from Hruits. I know that I could 100% get more crit/spellpower by going from heavy to medium, I just keep not wanting to. No actual defense for it

Hruit's is cool because you can swap cloaks for spell absorb without losing your caster set. This means you can play with the devotion lore gloves and swap the cloak whenever you need spell absorb. If you put the force crit on your cloak, you'll lose very little when you do that swap.

If your goal is do damage and be a hybrid then I've got no feedback for you as long as you find it fun. If you want to aim for tanky healer, then you can increase the stats that matter for that objective a ton. This from my no past life, no raid gear 1st lifer healer setup:

Has around 3600hp, 240prr, 150mrr.
Pos 832 58% 93

VS your:
1932hp PRR: 189prr MRR: 167mrr
Positive 756.0 29% 30

There's some gear setups listed on here that'll jump your heals to being much larger and plenty of room to expand that gear even more if you include raid gear and other options I didn't use.
