Hey guys, Great Show...sad these forums aren't getting much love...*sigh* Crafting: The grind isn't too painful, but isn't worth it at the moment because the Shards/Items are Bound to Character. The only reason I'm currently using the crafting system is because of the BtA bug(Will not explain here). Instand Death Weapons: Love the changes to Banishing/Disruption/Smiting, Vorpals are better but still meh. Intimidate: Loving it! So far best use for me is swap to S&B, hit Intim, then back to TWF(usually if I'm tanking a main boss, not mid quest on trash). Then bonus to Intim for S&B is awesome 2x the bonus and time of normal Intim(+50% Hate for 6sec, S&B: +100% Hate for 12sec). You can also intim one mob and switch to hitting another mob while using the Hate bonus. Thats it for now. I'll be back with more. ~Nim |

Someone has to start the ball rolling. That was something Jerry did very well. Whether or not he meant to is a different story... As he normally did it by being less then 100% correct. <3 you J |

My goal was to be 100% correct about 90% of the time! ![]() Listening now (it's been a busy couple of days, and by busy I mean busy with work and playing tons of DDO.) It's interesting to hear about crafting. I myself have been taking a similar approach to it as I do guild renown - aka - not make a super-dedicated effort to it, but do it more casually when I have vendor stuff. My designated crafter is at mere levels 8,12,8. I expect to eventually be making things that are useful. At the very least I'm stockpiling +5 shards, as I figure I'll want that for just about anything I'd make. Run the darn quests, Sig and Anne! They're amazing, and I love the loot in there. |

New quests are kinda sweet, I feel there should have been a couple more of them. Ran through them kinda fast. Pretty good loot too |

My excuse is that i'm too busy producing the show to post. My second excuse is that I'm not a forums person. I would be happy to designate a "forums" person for DDOcast. Someone who will water, feed, give huggles & back rubs to the forum-ites. Any volunteers? |

We ran them a few nights ago. They're pretty fun. My most hilarious moment was in the Missing quest: Sig: I'm going to shrine. Anne: Okay I'm going to turn in these optional quests with Burno and Guard Prosse. *few minutes pass by* *DING* Anne: Uh....they're mad and killed me. Sig: *LAUGHS* |

I ran the new ones with Anne and did a little review on the DDO forums. They were great fun and I got lucky and got a good sampling of the excellent named loot. Well be talking about them this week. I've not been too good about checking and posting here considering I'm the show host And.... I'm not sure that's likely to change too much. Still, I need to peek in on it a bit more often to see what's shaking and chime in as needed.I think Jerry really had heart and soul in the show and it showed in many many ways. I feel a bit more like a caretaker of it. Certainly I love doing it and am very fond of the show and all the people who listen and participate. But... since I have a lot of passions/projects I try to keep my DDOCast activities to what I'd term a "sustainable" level. So far so good since mostly the show feels like more fun than work! I also kind of suck at chit chat and am incapable of posts without multiple paragraphs ![]() Edited by sigtrent, May 4 2011, 04:53 PM.

lol...That's totally understandable Sig & Anne. Main reason I made the comment was for Anne's benefit, every time she starts a thread all I can see is "Please post something in these forums...Is anyone looking at this?...PLEASE POST HERE!...PLEASE!!!". I kinda feel bad for her, not sure if it's intentional, but that's how it reads to me. I guess I just miss having a second place to turn to talk about game stuff other than the DDO Forums. It can still be used as such, it's just not as active as it once was. There is more of a chance for civil conversation outside of the official forums(unfortunatly). Harbringer of Maddness: So far the new adventure pack is awesome. Well written and fun to play. A tad bit short. And the LOOT!, while awesome, deffinatly overshadows a lot of the other current ingame loot and makes a lot of it obsolete. I mean come on...ML:14 +5 Metalline Aligned Rapier of Random Elemental Damage...Can we say best non-Greensteel Boss Beater for Finesse Builds? And really easy to obtain as well. More on Crafting: The crafting is starting to take its toll on my incomming Plat. My designated Crafter is up to 24/20/19 in the different schools and I'm starting to be able to make cool stuff. I still refuse to make anything that isn't BtA, and plan on exploiting the bug while it exists. The best thing I've made(IMO) is a few pairs of BtA ML:1 Robes of Invulnerability, those are great as I have many new characters and plan on new TRs soon. Made an off-hand weapon for my casters ML:5 Bastard Sword of Stealth Strike(-15% Ranged and Spell Threat). Made a ML:5 +2 Vengeful Longsword(10% on-being-hit chance Rage Guard, doesn't stack with the spell) for my new Melee Evoker Favored Soul but I haven't really gotten to test it out yet. Another cool one was a ML:3 Casting Dexterity(-5% Spell Failure) Ring of Resistance 2 for my "Thor" build, nice boost to saves while enabeling me to use wshields more effectively. I'm really trying to get my Arcane crafting up to ~lvl30+ so I can try and make a few Blood Rage Shards(Arcane lvl42), unfortunatly it can only be enchanted on armor(robes, light, medium, heavy, and docents) but I'd like to test it in conjunction with the Scourge Choker I have to see if it procs more. Best thing about that is, Pale Masters in Undead Forms are immune to the Exhaustion, great DPS item for Melee Pale Masters(same with the exhaustion from the Eardweller's Spell Frenzy). Other than the BtC thing, the only thing I'm not liking about the crafting is how hard it is to determine if an enchantment is a Prefix or Suffix(before crafting it). Once it's been crafted there is a pattern that emerges: Prefix = "Enchantment Name" Shard Suffix = Shard of "Enchantment Name" That's all for now, maybe more later. ~Nim |
