I've played a lot though, and I think the game would be better off with some nerfs and monster re-adjustments. I agree there should be some nerfs......I still believe allowing people to take the monk stances as feats as long as you have 1 monk level was a bit broken......for 6 lvls of monk and 1 feat you get the best defense and offense in game! I don't care enough to rant on and on about it, but that does seem a bit unbalanced imo.....if they removed monk stances as acquirable feats, people would still do fighter 12 monk 6 pally 2 builds, since monk 6 still grants you shadow fade and teh ability for 1.5W dmg with dance of flowers.......and if they removed the fighter feat requirements from kensai (which I think they should do) you could do much more interesting builds like 12 monk 6 fighter 2 pally, and sacrifice power surge (and in effect some stunning blow DC) for more damage....... Taht would be a way to make "hard decisions" that some dev really liked.

And 14 Class Levels to actually getting the spell. Stop kidding yourself, we knew months before it was broken.

I had a BF Cetus too .... switched it to a monkcher than to a drow shuriken monkcher than to an elf monkcher The reconstruct is only overpowered if there isn't an easily obtainable equivalent. In Heroic content I would agree with you but BF spend all of about 5 minutes in heroic content so it's a moot point. In Epic not so much.... I don't need 14 levels of anything to get cocoon Also don't need quicken and emp heal is debatable.... heal amp has many sources. Human, monk, items ... you could stack them up but most of it comes from AP ... just the same as a BF recon. Now if BF were able to use cocoon as well? That might be a tad too much but they are even worse off for positive energy healing than a WF ....

	we understand that you have been complaining about many things for a long time so we've finally decided to address those things by nerfing 1 SLA in an enhancement tree we expect this long desired fix to bring thousands of new players to the game and this newly added balance to further sell the already successful bladeforged race an unexpected side effect of this change is that raids now share a timer with reconstuct, and at this time, you can use raid bypasses to bypass this 2 day 18 hour cooldown on reconstruct. This is not working as intended and as a result we will be removing bypass timers from the ddo store in a future update to prevent players from bypassing the reconstruct cooldown.

	Rubbinns wrote on Apr 4^th, 2014 at 5:41pm: Getting cocoon to tick on you for 500 takes incredible hamp 30/30/20/15/10, devotion 300 , a twist, and decent heal lore. Recon sla takes repair power under 200, 15 repair amp, saves a twist. It is very little in terms of work needed to get to that. You also got Rubbinns' dick in your ass too not 500/tick .. 500 total. Easily done without feats and minimal items/AP spent. That explains why I am sitting so comfortably.

Just saying.

On ranged toon ? Cocoon alone enough absolutely. I dont remember last time I had to restock on heal scrolls on monkcher, I use those for stat damage and stuff cause I am lazy. But on melee ranger ? Not enough at all unless you are really really careful. And CSW without Quicken is bad. I tried it many times. You are dead, unless you are in piking pussy mode. NOTpopejubal wrote on Apr 5^th, 2014 at 12:24pm: Bladeforged also have more than 14 class levels before they get the spell. I meant that if you want good Csw healing you have to have 14 or 15 pally levels. Bladeforged is not with this big limitation.

And I'm not sure you had to be Pure to get True Res...only high enough to cast 4th lvl Pally spells.

	Rubbinns wrote on Apr 4^th, 2014 at 9:48am: IDC, but there is this pretense like healing for 650+ for minimal investments on a sla for 25sp coupled with such a ridic powerful racial tree and innate abilities, isn't more powerful than every other race. I'm not a game dev, but I know when something is better than everything else. -10% Slashing damage. When you take Slashing damage, you gain +1 PRR for 3 seconds (up to +20 PRR) Immune to Sleep, Hold Person, Energy Drained, Nauseated, Exhausted, and Paralyzed effects Immune to ability score damage from Natural Poisons, and Natural Diseases but are vulnerable to those that effect wood or metal nice drawback Warforged gain a +10 racial bonus to saving throws against Magical Poisons and Magical Diseases and do not fail saving throws against them on a roll of a natural 1 (this makes you immune to Magical Poisons and Magical Diseases with a DC of less than 11+your Fortitude save). Immunity to spells targeting a humanoid. http://ddowiki.com/images/BladeforgedTree.png You could combine 3 races and still not come close. They're no longer immune to most hold effect and besides.. How often is getting diseased/poisoned by natural sources really a problem? To be fair the SLA is the ONLY thing making them playable as the would be useless as melees without.. Almost any other race would be better just because of the healing penalty they suffer. AtomicMew wrote on Apr 4^th, 2014 at 3:47pm: Don't you think something is off when 90% of good players are bladeforged?� Heck, even monkchers, which take penalty to Dex and Wis are going bladeforged.� But the way I see it, turbine should look to buffing other iconics to roughly the same level instead of nerfing, since apparently DDO players can't handle nerfs.� All iconics should get some sort of reliable self-healing and some innate defensive mechanism on the same level as bladeforged fortification (e.g., extra PRR on PDK, extra dodge/dodge cap on shadar kai).� Honestly I prefered the helf for monkchers even tho they don't get the SLA.. Cleric dilly is pretty darn awesome too and lets you raise dead etc. with very limited investment.. Which is in great synergy with getting to the racial AA. This is probably not the most effective build in some peoples eyes, but for me the added fleksibility is more than worth the trade.

	you want fucking balance ? Make Tincans only healable through repair and reconstruct. like they should be... All the Tincan lovers are going to whine, but it used to be more or less that way. And Arcanes were Tincan keeprs at that time, not Clerics. ( Divine could cure/heal them but the effect was extremely poor ) That's where the love for the now dead Healing Amp equipment came from.

I don't understand Flav's post either. Once per week I might Cocoon knocked down BF or WF with some "role" like tank or kiter but by rolling a toaster they chose to not get anything. And heal amp for fleshies is more important than ever. If you rely on CSW, Cocoon, scrolls, Renewal and shit.

	Hmm good question. Great tribute to Madmatt that says how hardcore and awesomest players were on Khyber and sadly don't play anymore. Anyone else that do some stuff is just fluff/not hardcore. Then Matt posts how Khyber raiding sucks. Ongoing joke, same as CRUSH IT kill order.

	Funny thing that those who call for monkcher nerf the most have never built one before. It is pain in the ass to go from lvl 20 to lvl 28 because the dps is mediocre. Now when I am sitting at lvl 28 I admit its a blast but it required a lot of gear investissement and practice. No need to say that making bf monkcher just for recon SLA was a huge sacrifice because of stats and tbh as a bf I cant hit a shit with IPS.

	The best way to nerf Bladeforged is by making a whole lot of new quests with uber Rustmonsters. Perhaps a rustmonster raid boss that has a saveless stun for Bladeforged :p

	Dear players, The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means. Love, People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly
