if you are first life with no tomes wolf would drop sharply while ranger would drop slowly, or something like that?

All those times were by first life, no tomes toons. the only one that wasnt was the 44 second wolf which was 1 rogue life and supreme 6 tomes. .

Yeah, I probably should not have used your name specifically.  Sorry about that.  I have no real or personal dislike for you, but since you don't play by your own admission it does seem to me that your opinions on things are all old news by now and don't have much if any validity.

So what I was trying to point out is that no matter what you might think about the new quests, you haven't played them and so your 'honest opinion' isn't worth jack.  Just like the 'honest opinions' of anyone else who hasn't played them.


I've been keeping up with friends and guildies and they all say the same thing, it's still a clusterfuck. Lag isn't fixed, crippling old issues remain and our guild leader has considered handing leadership back to the old because he is completely fed up. I left because I just couldn't fucking play. I can't use things on my rogue because they just don't work as intended. I used my DC druid and before the datacenter move I was making progress and after any spell I cast would be made invalid, lag would persist til everyone was dead, and also many people just packed up and left. I came to the conclusion that no amount of workarounds would be able to make up for just plain b0rk'd. It's still the same as 2 months ago. worse than 6 months ago. I don't need a crystal ball  especially with this next shit update to expect DDO and then antics of the small handful of Turbine employees to get worse.

I promised I wouldn't download the game or log back in til I get back home since I'm on the road for business. miss my friends and I still try to keep in contact now going on 2 months but even if everything was fixed, getting back the old players that decided fuck this along with enticing the new players that saw how shit the game has become is gonna be very difficult if not too late.

Fine.  But you don't play.  So what you heard about the game from your cousin's boyfriend's barber is just hearsay. 

You don't get an opinion, not one that matters, if you're just chameleoning one from a friend or ex-guildy.

All of my guild left because the game was a clusterfuck. I guess their opinions don't matter either.

I think he is saying that their opinions about things that have happened after they left don't matter.  So, their opinions about the Kensei tree or the new quest content being fun or not don't matter.  Because they haven't actually logged in to Lama to play a Kensei or run the quests.  All they can do is repeat someone else's opinion who has actually played the class or run the quests.  In which case, it isn't their opinion.  It is somebody else's.

if 100 people say something sucks and you are like WELP I DIDNT SEE IT SUCK, THEY MUST ALL BE RETARDS, then it is clear who the real retard is. while one cannot state as a fact that what they heard is true, it is usually safe to assume that a generally accepted opinion is generally.. accepted

Yeah.  Because comparing historical events and the Holocaust in particular to a video game always makes perfect sense.

Also, if you had a holocaust survivor and some dipshit jackhole who calls him self "eighnuss" on an internet website and thinks it is witty both talking about the holocaust, which has more validity?  Yeah.  Not the dipshit who wasn't there.  What if the dipshit jackhole "eighnuss" disagreed with the holocaust survivor?  Would the dumbass' opinion be considered valid?  Yeah.  Thought not. 

The fail is strong with this one.

http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1427180132/226#226

That's a solid shuri build but I am fairly certain it is not the best red-named DPS shuri build available right now.  No human for dual boosts.  No ranger for DWS cores, Sniper Shot, Merciful Shot, Head Shot and T5s.  AA imbue crit damage doesn't scale like base damage and sneak attack, etc.

If the goal is to test the best red-named DPS shuri, I think it will be something along the lines of Jakeelala's FotW shuri (link).  It's possible that a 12 Ranger/6 Monk/2 Rogue or 12 Ranger/8 Monk might be slightly more DPS but the build in the link is pretty damned good.

I've been running that build with some slight variations on the AP distribution for a few months and it outperforms any other shuri and rogue mechanic builds I've grouped with.  I don't even bother using Manyshot anymore.  10ks with dual boosts, Unbridled Fury, and Sniper Shots is more than sufficient.

I've used it extensively in-game with Shiradi, LD, DC, and Shadowdancer.  It works well in all of those, but FotW is hands down the best Destiny for it.

Can you make a 12 Arti 5 Sorc and test if the Arti and Sorc lightning bolt SLAs can be cast back to back or if one puts the other on timer?

This build might fall apart and not work, and it might be better than a pure 20 tempest:

Your second sentence contains factual error. Half Elves can and do get racial boost as noted in my build that I have to assume you didn't read.

I dismiss the rest of your opinions as unreliable based on this.  Tongue

Oops.  You are correct.  I was wrong on the dual boosts and stand corrected.  It has been a while since I rolled a half elf.  I forgot they get access to the human boost options.

Dual boosts aside, I still think an AA + SD based shuriken build will be noticeably behind a DWS + FotW on red-named DPS due to lacking the activated attacks from DWS and imbue damage not scaling with Adrenaline and Fury crits.

For reference, I experimented quite a bit in-game with Tier 5 AA instead of DWS since the build I'm using has access to both.  AA worked well and the DPS was nothing to be ashamed of but DWS was still better.  An extra 2-3 tiers of AA imbues can't compete with the extra damage that Sniper Shot + Merciful Shot + Head Shot provides, even at 300 spell power in the relevant element. 

During a 30s full DPS burn with Furystars, 10ks, boosts, etc., you get all the Fury shots plus 5ish adrenaline shots.  Nothing Shadowdancer has can touch that.
