ranger did, no double strike for tier 1 anymore, it's a 10% competence attack speed boost, just do this: http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=243380 scroll to the bottom and change it to halfling, not really hard to convert

O_o

Tier One of Tempest never had double strike. It had the +10% competence boost to attack speed. It's the attack speed boost that was nerfed, as it was changed to +10% to offhand proc chance.

To to OP: Barb is probably the best choice. Really would just make it a Blitz shell for a Halfling. Not as ubersauce as a Half Orc DPS-wise, but amusing in a make-the-min-maxers-heads-explode way. Tongue

Really??

Who the fuck is your English teacher? Tell me so I can have him/her shot.

It's spelled competence chucklehead and it's also something you had better get if you want to get anywhere in the world.

I recently capped a 12ftr/6pal/2monk halfling with the healing dragon marks. There were some sketchy levels where to-hit sucked, but doing fine now. 498 hps without a greensteel hp item. Building Khops and will tr eventually.

Yeah I'll prolly turn my halfling into a rogue ftr bbn rog dual khop wielder.

Could be fun.

I considered some of the dragon marks though. Can you use them while raging? I doubt it.

I dunno, but I guess not. I haven't pulled madstones yet to try it with that type of rage. I am leaning 70% to TR into a pure HO rogue assassin with this guy. 30% chance on HO blitz build. I dunno. I have so many TR's to do.

I was the same way, but I bit the bullet and TR'd Greenis. I equipped my GS weapons for the first time yesterday. Went on to three man Tempest Spine, Wiz King, and Elite Von 1-4. Faster than I ever have before with full groups. DPS is sick. From what I understand, and experienced so far, 1st time TRs aren't that bad.

They aren't and the TR bank is like Christmas morning every time you level.

My problem is I don't know those high xp quests enough to rock out with my block out.

I can't run Monastery 12 times in 120 minutes. Shit like that.

I suppose it's finding the right people to play with, but thats the trick in the end.

Honestly, unless you are in a super hurry to recap you don't need to go farm crazy to cap a single TR.  When I ran my first back up I just had a basic plan, no GH till 15, no Vale till 17, Farm Dels., bloody,  Shadow, Desert, VoN3 and Nec4 (Vol and Fleshmakers).  Outside of that I just ran what I felt like pretty much and capped easy.  Ended up with a lot of XP still left on the table.

It took about a month and a half and I was running a full raid schedule and epics on my other capped characters.

I Tr'd Dec 27th. I got Greenis to lvl 6 pretty quick and then started doing other things. Messed around and got him to lvl 8.  Ran the hell out of shadow crypt and got to 10 this weekend. Farmed Von 3 and did all the von's through elite. 1 run of wiz king and I am just about lvl 13. If I just run Grennis this week, I will be in shroud this weekend.

I am guessing once you take lvl 17 yo can run whatever, with whoever and not take a big xp hit.

Pretty much...  I was overly cautious on my first set of Vale Normal runs on what levels where in to avoid any penalties but it proved unnecessary.   I actually think I started the Vale at 16 because Sisster threatened to stab me if I made her do anymore Gianthold.

If you are hitting 13 bang out some of the new Lordsmarch stuff...nice XP and it fills a XP hole.  Fun quests and good loot too..  No ML +4 Items for the next TR...

I used three items from the chrono raid until I got my GS out. The extra damage from the charges gauntlets was niiicccee.

I wonder how they coded the dragonmark because it passes a Beholder's antimagic aura. I love standing looking at a beholder and healing people on my halfling cleric.

With the above fact it may just be usable when raged.

As for the OP, I probably drive the min max crowd the most insane with my army. I am currently starting to round it out to have a Halfling pure build of each class.
