+20 heart wasted cause of a bug....

[Lanttanno]

I used a +20 heart to change into a build I had been meaning to try. Planned it all out, did some minor testing, farmed gear etc.

After reincarnating into the build, it doesn't work at all, not because of any fault in the build, but because the self heal and damage spell from primal avatar that the build is largely reliant on kills me instantly every time it is cast. So now I am stuck in a build based on a tool that I can't use which makes me a pure rogue with no damage or survivability.... Worst part is I'm not all that surprised.

That is the worst.

Surprised on the pure rogue thing though. Mine's a beast.

Oh yeah, I love pure rogue, problem is mine is built to have high spell power and defenses with swf and an orb. None of these things are good if you cant use the spell hahaha.

Care to share what the issue experienced is in more detail?

As from what I'm reading it appears to be one issue that's causing the issue, and if we can isolate the exact issue, and it's a bug the Devs will work on soon, it may be salvageable still.

It is the interaction between reborn in fire from primal avatar and bring darkness from shadowdancer tree. It causes first blood to apply to yourself which causes around 3-4k of damage.

There is a list here (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/527891-Let-s-try-consolidate-U51-Bugs-Here) where your and others contribution would be appreciated for bugs found, and also serves as a checklist before building your death machine.

Here is a pure 20 rogue build (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/528353-For-a-Fist-ful-of-Flowers) that was designed with sufficient defenses and healing to solo the game on R6 and some legendary raids, as well as tank PUG raids and PUG R10. Maybe you are close enough to morph to that. Pure 20 rogue can be pretty beastly.

I'm guessing he has bug #209.

Sorry to hear about this, and thanks for the warning, OP.

Just going to make the point that rogues which can do decent single-target DPS, instakill high fort save targets and not be a problem for tanks and other group members because of excessive hate generation are also useful, especially if you are primarily grouping rather soloing. You can build a rogue that can survive high skull content without making it into a bad tank.

Don't believe all the hype and good luck with whatever you choose.
