Dodge and Combat Expertise on a barb! You read it here first!


I think they should have people who actually play the game make "game guides" and not just let some dumbfuck "community team member" help people gimp their builds.

For the love of God does anyone over there have a fucking clue.  Did any dev proof read that shit?  I cannot believe everyone there is that fucking clueless.

fordytwo:

As for Dodge: It was included because we still see a lot of players using the feat in builds and debating it. I can't give a Formula 1 car to someone who doesn't even know the basics of driving. The goal with Melee 101 is easy-to-comprehend suggestions with immediate benefits. This is why I updated the guide to include Stunning Blow for barbarians.

If you having to *off the top of your head* guess what BAB a frontline melee has, you should not be the one writing this shit.

That's a good point.  It could be the ultimate past-time of Turbine employees: trolling forumites with retarded build advice.

I wonder if I'll catch any flack for linking him to Aranticus's guide.  He really should read it.

Reading that, it's a good thing most clueless newbies don't read the forums or DDO compendium. What's next - a wizard build with force of personality?

Note to any Turbine staffers reading this, and one I genuinely hope you share around the office: DDO has become a shit game because y'all have made it a shit game. Once it was great. Now, it's a festering puddle of monkey diarrhea. No matter how you try to justify it, or pat yourselves on the back for doing great jobs... it's a shit game now because of you. Y'all keep on giving the players the middle finger, and you keep expecting us to reward you for the abuse. I've had it with you narcissistic fuckwads and your myopic policies of ineptitude.

Well he DID say that it's intended for new people who want to see immediate benefit. So those types of people don't actually plan a build. But then again they can fuck up without help from actual Turbine employees, who might royally screw anyone over who might actually learn to be good at the game.*



*I am not actually claiming to be good at this game.

That was classic. I love the restraint shown so far by the vaulties in that thread. I can almost hear the sputtering of disbelief behind every sentence.

I don't see why you should.


Maybe we should build a guide for Turbine on how to build guides?

That whole guide was like recommending baseball players don't forget to bring their 9-Iron to the big game.


Really, really bad advice - and furthers the notion that the Devs/Mods don't play or pay much attention to their own game.

Might as well get some WoW or Rift players to write DDO guides. Or have me write a WoW guide. It's not even remotely imaginable!

My favorite part was where he was vigorously browbeaten until the most egregious errors were fixed.

Still, the guide is pretty useless.

When people bring in their personal lives, it is all fair game.  This board promotes trolling.  If you bring something up, expect it to be used against you at a later date if not immediately.  You want to bring up personal shit, well, that is your problem.

If one fails to understand the nuances of elite level trolling they would falsely interpret posts meant to fan the flames as support.
