As im away from ddo for my yearly work session
Been looking at new changes upcoming, when im back in about a week will test it all on random builds on lama or on live.
FIrst of all, droping monk for fighter will be most probably the first thing, 2nd thing would be keeping ranger, so prolly a fighter ranger druid build base which would give you a bit higher base for damage, better defense options.
Im writing those things from top of my head bdw.
First i would shift to more druid to get better seflhealing spells even tho in any ee it proved that with plenty amp/plifes/humie amp regular cure ser and card pots with cocoon and ocasional silver flame would be more then enough.
What i would test is couple things, first of all keep swf and use orb as offhand to utilize from stalwart stance and maybe some vanguard stuff and shield feats. So it would be a triple line build with shield feats& swf feats & 2 weapon fight feats as you dont need cleaves anymore which is wonderful.
I dont know how feats act with orbs tho.
2nd i would be ap starved so i would prolly waste another 2-3 mil pp on resets again. Sigh and they pp has no worth.
Then there is the will dwarven axe and b sword provide melle spp when you pick 2 handed line? There are many questions you can ask yourself when you cant test properly.
After that as im assuming from reading the new harper tree it seems that int based builds with 2 weapon styles are getting a huge boost.
How would that interact with druid is a question that i put onto my need to test list.
Well beside that there are couple ideas i need to test, like how would my shuri/staff/dual weapon build act as a 2 weapon style user.
Build is 9 monk 6 ranger 5 rogue halfwit. I need to test that whole int thing.
All i can say in short that after testing and possibly some brainstorming with munk, we could find out a way to make this broken build even more powerfull. For now ima earn mah money and dream about random builds this new update offers.
Will be fun to find out new ideas, 2 weapo fight, shuri builds, 2 handed build etc all have huge potential atm, not gonna look at armored casters and dc casting which seem to have gotten a huge buff
