one single mainhand weapon + attachable throwing weapons.


What's an attachable throwing weapon?  Sorry I'm not at all familiar with throwing stuff, but I'm trying to make this build work now.

You want a single weapon in main hand, and an orb in off hand. Not thunderforged orbs because those break druid vows of virginity, or some gay shit about druids. Use Nether Orbs. Throwing weapons are extra cheese.

Can you elaborate on the extra cheese? I'm not super excited about orbs.  ideally I'd like a mainhand with damage procs and something else giving me stunning/seeking/healing amp whatever.

Looking at orbs they don't offer a whole lot to me other than some red augments.  It's unfortunate, but I guess the massive dps upgrade makes up for it.

I just wish there were more orbs in the game. Maybe they'll add some more "gish" oriented ones with swf and swashbucklers getting benefits from them.

the orbs offer free red slot, and spell lore item. you dont lose anything by having it over just a single weapon and it still allows swf to perform. Main benefit is shield mastery line working with it.

Would a meteoric ruby in the slot work?  But yeah I was just saying that I'd rather have something that directly benefits my combat like stunning or my original plan was to have a healing amp GS short sword.

Good to know about the shield mastery feats though, wonder if I can fit them in.

you cant have another weapon in off hand it wont trigger your gswf icon. only orbs or runearms allowed.

Yeah, oh well =/ How about the ruby in the orb will that trigger?

On a related note, does the second tempest core work with animal form?

Ruby on orb works. I cant test tempest core 2 properly. Lelo said it worked for his swf druid.

Munk are you sure? That was just two conflicting answers.

That bit about the ruby in the orb is amazing, i only have the first swf/twf feats and my ruby already procs like 4 times a fight.

Runearms also break druid oath, so don't go Arti.

Tempest 2 looked like it was working, but I didn't test it properly.

What is the damage type for wolf form? Per earlier in the thread it said bludgeoning. When I pulled the combat log last night it said slashing. If I am using w/p ss's which one do I need to get a extended crit range of 17-20? Also, upon equiping a w/p ss my pet was then doing con damage ??? Has anyone tested this? Thanks to all who advise.

Why thank you, although I needed no affirmation of that fact from anyone, and certainly not from some sad, fat fuck who is a DDO fanboi.

Having said that, I am a Time Warner stockholder, and every  bit of profit that can be wrung out of Turbine has a chance of increasing my dividend check. As such, I would encourage you to continue spending money on DDO as you attempt to offset the wretched reality that is your life.

Just for your information, not all companies optimize their business operations to maximize current profits. Amazon, for example, is much more interested in increasing its market share at the expense of current profits.

You would know these kinds of things if you were anyone who mattered, but clearly you aren't.

Now, be a good little fanboi and toddle off to the Turbine forums where you can get your daily dose of Cordo ass kissing done.

Wolf form attacks are by default piercing and slashing, but because animal form attacks are considered as unarmed they are effected by feat improved critical bludgeoning.

No matter what weapons you have equipped.

Hi Munk,

What you described is the way it is intended to work.
I'm not certain it is indeed wai (much like the whole swf, twf shabang).

First of all you can see now that they fixed the weapon dice display on the extended inventory tab (finally a usefull fix) that your damage dice and crit range while equipping a weapon in wolf form will change the stats. I tested and saw that indeed bare handed my crit range (with imp crit bludgeon) was 17-20 in winter wolf and that my crit range changed to 18-20 while equipping a Rebellion (17 natural roll did not proc a threat).

I will need to test and see what happens when taking imp crit piercing and using Rebellion, if indeed it changes to 15-20.
If it does I will definitely ditch imp crit bludgeon in favor of imp crit piercing on my wolf twf+swf toon.

I've been slacking off playing lately but I'll post once I test the mentioned above.

Improved crit piercing will improve that rebellion and it will make its crit range look improved in your inventory. But then youll attack with your mouth and that attack will still be an unarmed attack effected by improved crit bludgeoning.

The only reason handwraps appear properly is because they dont have hard coded damage dice, they check the player for +x[w] then add their bonuses.  Other weapons dont make that check they just show their own data.

In short, dont mistake a display fix for a mechanical one.

FTFY

I can confirm that impact weapons extend animal crit range. I tested with a tenderizer. I did not test any keen weapons though.

-snip-


I stand corrected.
Did some more testing with rebellion without I. Crit piercing (with imp crit bludgeon) and indeed 17 DID proc a crit.

As a rule I don't trust the inventory tab since it's unreliable. I just made a mistake reading the combat log (must have seen a 17 roll not crit because it was the threat confirmation roll and I didn't pass the dummies fort).

Busy in rl and with shuri build to reply on this thread.

From tempest tree, only thing that aplies are strike attacks.
Generally whole tempest tree is rly bad when you look at it that almost nothing is working.
I spend my aps mainly in shintao for prr hamp/ninja spy/human and deepwood for killer.

lol yeah kind of. Eth has a Tempest build he uses that takes tier 5 from there. But, im secretly hoping Turbine fucks up when MRR comes out and allows the Evasive Dance ability to work in heavy armor. Has anyone tested if it works in heavy now?

Rubbinns, you suggest an orb in offhand to trigger GSWF. Are you still getting the benefit of TWF with an orb?
I also saw it mentioned about Dev Reaping as a main handed. Would you all put that above T2, T3, and maybe T4 Thunderforged? At first glance for me yes up to T4 and maybe even T4.

I'd rather slot Battlerager's Harness and keep Complete TF weapon(Mortal Fear/Dragon Edge) main. It is 2% less DStrike, but Mortal Fear ;p

I have 0 faith in their ability+time to fix anything with Druids. If by some chance they ever do, it will not be retroactive and your build will keep Thrower glitch, SWF and TWF lines if you do NOT ever TR/ETR it.
