	hope that by harder you dont just mean more hp more raw damage, a higher saves... we will love to see different mechanics that makes the quest harder, ( such as random deadly traps and ambushes or deadly and squishy caster or assassins ( seems like the puppeteer are the like)

	Mob density has increased and mobs hit hard.� In EE Lines of Supply, archers hit for 60, berserkers hit for ~300 and the red named end boss giant hits for 400 before damage reduction.� It's in your best interest as a melee to invest in max avoidance.

He's got two Balizardes and Celestias so light blades could be nice . . . but he also has two Nightmares and a bunch of Khopeshes. 25% more woowoo might be a better bet than the light-blades which would be more DPS.

Well I guess it boils down to how much time you spend beating up trash vs how much time you spend beating up bosses. More trash = woo woo. More bosses = DPS. Unfortunately it's not so cut-and-dried as that. Woo woo in EE is amazing, since the trash is absurd. Tough decision. I'm leaning towards my jugg becoming something woo woo, even if he does have balizardes and esos and all the other cool stuff.

	My fighter has neither eSOS nor Cleaver, and two Nightmares. And Nightmare is pretty much my favorite thing ever. So it's not much of a choice. Nightmare also works just fine in a lot of boss "tanking" (holding aggro) situations where you care about free heals more than absolute maximum DPS.

Also thinking about a Tank (Ftr8/Monk6/Pal6) version. Does anyone know if the Ftr and Pal defensive stances stack or not? If so, combine those with Tier 4 Earth Stance on a War/Bladeforged or Dwarf and you've got a nice little damage-taker. DPS might be lacking but still.

They don't.� Even if they did, you wouldn't have the AP to get both. Quote: Well I guess it boils down to how much time you spend beating up trash vs how much time you spend beating up bosses. More trash = woo woo. More bosses = DPS. The Radiance effect on Celesita causes blindness.� At least on paper it seems like a pretty damned good way to avoid crazy EE trash mob damage: DDO Wiki: The character cannot see. He takes a -2 penalty to Armor Class, loses his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), moves and attacks at half speed, and takes a -4 penalty on Search checks and on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as Spot checks) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) to the blinded character. Kensei expands Celestia's crit range to 15-20.

If it's not posted by tonight, I'll just check myself. I verified it with Clever. Tier5 Kensei sets the crit range to 19-20 in the inspection tooltip. I also verified it critting on a roll of 17 against the kobolds in the dojo.
