Reaper trees

[mr420247]

Hey just been thinking the game could use 2 more reaper trees

but they should put in a lockout of only 2 usable trees at 1 time

DPS and Healing so that other classes or builds can become more viable to run reaper

More options with actual choices not less

Then maybe Melees and other builds can become almost on par with DC builds

I came within 1 kill of the PM in R7 today, buff me please :)

Def now do that on r10 now were you on a monk or pally or barb

I'll bet its alot harder for a barb or pally to pull off

It could also help new players contribute more in reaper

Who can't get working dcs while they work on pls gear r xp

Hey just been thinking .....

Funny, I was thinking Reaper should lose 3 trees.

But, since Reaper is proven to be just another grind, we should be looking towards more, not less/fewer.

I'd go with 5 SuperReaper(tm) trees. After that grind gets ground, add 7 UltraReaper(tm) trees.

They will all be stacking, naturally.

That boat sailed reaper and the trees are here to stay

Problem is now there are no choices just dcs hp kind of boring

Same cookie cutter builds for high skulls and thats it

DDO's biggest selling point used to be character building customization

yup

I would like to have a couple more trees.
Maybe a heal amp tree and another tree to help healers ( positive spell power?)

After you get around 80 or so points, you will realize that you are grinding out 180k RxP for 4HP.

So , the hampster wheel comes to a sunden stop.????

Customization is dead, just give all classes death spells and charm.

Death spells and charm is overperforming. Nerf web.

This. Reaper Tree Grinding is making Heroics almost as boring as Epics as we swirl down the toilet toward a core set of 5 Easy Quests with the Max XP per minute, run as "Heroic Dailies".

Cant understand why people insist on grinding something they dont actually need, and then complain about it...

Because no matter if everyone else is happy one person will be unhappy because the rest are happy

Since SSG recently admitted (or let slip) that future content will be designed with Reaper bonuses in mind, I think you need to show your work.

The Reaper bonuses might not be necessary now, but just about anyone can see that eventually they will be needed. That is true of any power increase. The fact that (some) Reaper bonuses work outside Reaper was SSG helping those with less mental acuity to see the light. The XP bonus is a claxon alert.

It was really clever of SSG to introduce another grind, but call it an "optional challenge". They were able to funnel build choices into their preferred lanes, incentivize certain store sales, and retread content in one fell swoop. Job done.

Oh I don't grind reaper, I run what I want for fun on either Elite or Reaper.

I am complaining that Reaper splits the grouping opportunities in many ways, different character level ranges for max bonuses, and the Reaper Tree grind looming large in quest selection (easy quests with lots of XP are favored), and it promotes an elitist attitude that is toxic to retaining new players. Furthermore, it is just lame that we have trees to help make the challenging mode less challenging; that seems to defeat the spirit of it's initial implementation.

ftfy

[mr420247]

Charms are over performing insta kills are not

And with no other options available to casters maybe fix that b4 breaking any more balance issues

Just completed r10 heroic amber at 12 no insta kills or charms just sum dps n kiting

So there not the only things that will work in high skulls more options not less
