Honestly I'm not all into Artificers but it will be interesting to see how they work. I wasn't a fan of them in pnp but in DDO it may be a different experience. I'm just waiting to see the past life feats to see if it will help my Multi-TR toon whenever I get done with his journey. But I have no intention of changing which toon I use for crafting. Skaggy you will be missed!!!! |

Cannot wait to see the Lam patch notes tomorrow. I have been anticipating Artificer for a while now. First thing I am going to try and see is how well it will mix with Arcane Archer. That is just me, I love trying to make a viable AA build out over every class mix I can Here is hoping for some ranged love in the patch notes too!Not sure what to think about the Arm Cannons form the pics but we will see. Sig, have you played around much with Imp Feint since they changed bluff in U9? I know it takes two feats to get but I am finding since bluff has been made more useful I can solo pretty well on my rogue using Feint. Just watching the mobs turn their backs to you even when you are the only target around is pure gold. Combined that with Stunning blow backed up by your high STR and you are looking at being able to get in plenty of sneak attacks when solo. Edited by Arovin, Aug 8 2011, 07:52 PM.

Saw this posted today on Lamannia:![]() Looks like the rune arms could be interesting. Equips to off hand if you have the "Rune Arm Use" feat which I would assume Artificers will get for free. Means no Dual Weapon Fighting or Shields but does work with Crossbows (and hopefully Bows). Uses block to charge and fire, damage increases with charge rate. Other minor benefits as well. The imbue's could be nice. Here is the big thing, they scale with level! I cannot think of any other item that gets more powerful with your character level. ToD sets scaling with PRE tier 3 is the closest I can think of. Potentially you could be using a level 1 item at 20 and it would still be somewhat useful. If these work with Bows I could see my Artificer/AA plan working out pretty well. Could blast with Arm in between Manyshot being up. Maybe we will even see Arms that do AoE damage. This could potentially be overpowered if that is the case. I wonder how long the charges take between shots. What do you guys think? |

Well if the Wiki is correct (and there usually are changes made to everything) The Artificer past life is only worth going for if you are trying for Completionist or a very special build. Past Life: Artificer You were an Artificer in a past life. You occasionally find yourself tinkering with your gear. When you use a rod, staff, or Wand, you have a 5% chance not to expend a charge. Each time you acquire this feat you gain a stacking +1 bonus to the Use Magic Device skill. This feat can be stacked up to three times. |

One thing of interest is the 5% chance to not use charge. If this affects all clickys then it could be very useful. I assume the Artificer will get a much higher bonus as they level. |

It would be interesting if you intend on finish up as a Artificer. Assuming they can make this go even higher. But for example on my past life character I'm working on 5-15% chance of no charges on wands doesn't appeal to me. I do agree that if they changed it to all clickys it would appeal to more people. |

Not a frequent poster, but long time listener. I'd like to first say Skaggy will be missed as will my Bard/Mechanic Yngwie who will also be retiring due to a recent Stormreach weapons ban on Lamania. It seems the Devocratic party, in a very partisan political move, is restricting the RoF of automatic weapons reducing the potency and playability of said weapons. On the bright side, I will be able to reincarnate him into an Artificer. Maybee they will offer an option to grind down my dual shard supreme tyrant greensteel repeaters since they are now completeley useless! ARRRGGH!!!! |
