Why not have a try yourself and then keep the results quiet? I'm going to wait for some hotfixes/patches that'll inevitably level a few things then do it.

Tested out Hunt's End + Shadowdancer +3 crit multi shot.

It doesn't work.

Any support at all for negative energy in EDs has been a long time coming.

My favorite kind of alch is neg. It worked very well prior but with Draco being changed at least I don't feel as dirty playing with that being my main focus. Flavor obv but r4 and below not much of a difference.

Did you try Undeath to Death?

That works pretty well (depending on your DC) versus Undead.

Look we all miss UB. But he is gone.
Why don't you post the whole shooting match for us to check out.

For nukers, fire is still king as predicted. There are some surprises in the new full nuker gearset, but I'm waiting for the legendary sands items - they've been previewed in Lam for 51, but aren't in the game yet. Any idea why?

I suspect this is the case.

Which gearset are you referring to? I was looking at re-gearing my main(fire nuker) but my apathy won't allow me to run feywild.

Motherfucker.

Wait, what? 4 piece winter is just +10% Legendary bonus to maximum hitpoints/PRR/healing amp. Are you sure you don't mean Autumn which actually has some stuff related to spellpower?

Linker wrote on Nov 9^th, 2021 at 5:04pm:


Well I'm glad its a nice staff but its doubtful I'll ever get to run the raid. I'm presently focused on gear I can get on my own. I haven't even seen pug raids for the feywild raid up

Thanks for clearing that up - Winter will probably be a lot easier to complete. I believe I already have enough to start playing with it.

I don't bother with reaper myself(maybe R1 every now and then). Personally I'm using Flamecleansed Fury instead of Esoteric Initiate - heavy armor leaves me tanky enough. That and I have a pile of cakes bound to a hot key - fuck trying at this game.

I can always dream of the magical christmasland where people actually run pug raids on my server.

In the meantime, I have to make due with shit I can pull out of quests.

(there's also the minor detail that you really shouldn't run around naked until you get raid gear)

I am flesh until the next round of reincarnations is introduced, though I have a metal sorc I'll be trying to gear up at some point(he's a piece of shit, 1 life no tomes but meh).

So I did do some experimenting last night, ran out and farmed a few more bits of feywild and pulled esoteric set off the mule(kind of annoying since literally just the other day I went out and farmed a second flameclensed fury set that is now spare, but whatever).

I'm liking the results so far. Still playing major league tetris trying to slot both base con and cha but I'll figure it out(or die trying).

I'm aware its physically possible to solo some of them(others require having multiple people in to preform specific actions; for example good luck soloing Von5). I wouldn't really call it "Plan A" though.

Linker wrote on Nov 12^th, 2021 at 2:55pm:


Which one is "Ash" pre-tell? I am already using wildflame. I actually need to re-think my gear-choices - wild flame and the legendary kinetic sphere were great when every other spell you cast is meteor swarm. Its not so good now and its time to re-think my decisions in life.

Its important to note I am not recommending this to anyone, this is just whatever crap I could throw together without raiding -

Leg Esoteric Initiate set
-Goggles Topaz of Fear Immunity
-Armor Golem's Heart
-Bracer - no aug

Ring1 - Legendary Shattered Onyx +6 insightful Cha - Sapphire of Resistance +10
Ring2 - Legendary Celestial Sapphire Ring Con +13 (this is just a placeholder for now, only place I could slot Profane Well Rounded)
Boots - Legendary Deepsnow Boots - Topaz of Feather Falling
Gloves - The Prince's Gauntlets - Globe of True Imperial Blood ? Diamond of Festive Cha / Diamon of Festive Con (this was an interesting choice for a minor artifact. I am not defending it, it just made more sense in my gear-tetris to slot this)
Belt - Legendary Direbear Belt - no aug yet
Cloak - Legendary Cloak of Winter - no aug
Trinket - Legendary Battleworn Medal (I'm genuinely ashamed of this one but its all I had with +3 Quality Cha. Gonna go see if I have a Slave Lords item to replace it)
Neck - Legendary Necklace of Bottled Sunlight - no aug
Helm - Legendary Helm of the Red Dragon (Yes I know I said no raid gear but I got this from an anniversary event)

Main Hand - Legendary Wildflame - Ruby of Magnetism 139
-Filigree
--Dragonsoul ASF, Acid Absorb, Electrical Absorb(all common, far from ideal, but all that was available on the AH/astral shit exchange)
--Coalesced Magic Universal Spell Power & MRR (both common, left over from what was there before dragon)
--Purity, Healing Amp(rare), Con(common), Positive Spellpower(common), Wisdom(rare)(don't know why I slotted wis).
---This set is actually a must-have for me(though not necessarily in this specific config), there are few things I hate more in DDO than being level-drained. I used to play exclusively wf just to avoid it.

I'm about to spend some time fucking with my filigree now that I have 10 slots to play with. I have a metric shitload of fils from Sharn.
