U42 Preview 1: Loot

Disclaimer

Everything seen on the preview server, Lamannia, is not final and is subject to change or removal before live release.

Hello, friends! This is gonna be a long post, so bear with me. Sharn has a lot of items - I mean a lot - a crafting system, new filigree, and some other cool stuff that'll really blow your mind. Without further ado...

Sharn features a return of the Nearly Finished (House Cannith - not to be confused with Cannith Crafting) crafting system to allow customization to certain items. Some of the ingredients used in the previous incarnation of Nearly Finished will be usable here in Sharn, and some of the ingredients found in Sharn will be usable in original Nearly Finished.

Sharn Raids will be Tier 4 - a step higher than tier 3. Sharn Items are found at both levels 15 and 29, and Raid items are found at only level 29.

Quick FAQ:

Why no Trinkets? There are no Trinkets in Sharn so future packs can greatly expand with them, similar to how Ravenloft had no helms and future packs focused on them.

How many items per set? All sets listed are 3 piece sets.

What bonus type are the set bonuses? Artifact, therefore not stacking with Slave Lords and most of RL's set bonuses.

I, uh, happen have several thousand old House Cannith Crafting ingredients already. That's not a question, but I get what you're saying, don't worry. If you've got a ton of old House C stuff, you can make some headway into Sharn's crafting, but you won't be able to finish anything without actually getting into Sharn itself.

Color Cheat Sheets:

Items with stats that are written up (LIKE THIS IN GREEN) mean the player will have a choice between those statistics using the Nearly Finished crafting system.
Items found in one of the Sharn Raids will be appended with a (Raid)

Sharn items themselves are broken into several broad categories. Each of which will be separated into a post below.

Generic Weapon Suite:

Just like Ravenloft, Sharn will contain a full suite of weapons across both level brackets (levels 15 and 29). Unlike Ravenloft, these will not be "free" as in free pizza - players will be able to forge them out of Nearly Finished crafting ingredients at a very small proportionate cost in order to avoid overflooding the loot tables. There will likely be a caster counterpart for these. Ideally, these are easily acquired without much effort.

Syranian Forged Weaponry: Electric Damage, Good Damage, Construct Bane, Adamantine

Unique Quest Weapons:

These weapons are found in Quests, and follow our standard Dice Progression for heroics/Legendary - 1.5W at level 15, and 5W (with loaded dice depending on handedness) at level 29. Weapons with Impact/Keen or Vorpal (or anything else that would bump their W score) is not factored into their base dice written above for ease of transcription to this forum post, which is long enough already.

Furthermore, to aid transcription, weapon procs in this block are 9d6.

• Quarterstaff - Creeping Dust Conduit - cold/acid spell power, cold/acid spell crit, conjuration DCs, evocation DCs, Arcane Augmentation, quality spell focus mastery
• Quarterstaff - Firestorm Conduit - fire/lightning spell power, fire/lightning spell crit, conjuration DCs, evocation DCs, Arcane Augmentation, quality spell focus mastery

Raid Weapons:

These will have an upgrade path using Nearly Finished ingredients and Threads of Fate that will boost their dice, add an augment slot, and add their last effect. This will play very similarly to how Caught in the Web weapons upgrade, although it will use Threads of Fate as its primary resource rather than Commendations of Heroism. Sharn Raids will drop Threads of Fate as a Tier 4 Raid.

Tier 1 Upgrade will add an Augment Slot.
Tier 2 Upgrade will add their additional effect (unless you have The Eclipse Itself, and then you'll have your own upgrade path in which you pick a primary element)
Tier 3 Upgrade will add .5W (unless you have The Eclipse Itself, and then you'll have your own upgrade path in which you will pick your secondary element)

Weapons in this block have 5(W) and raid-tier loaded dice.

Weapon procs in this block are 10d6.

• Quarterstaff: The Eclipse Itself - Implement, Quality Potency, Quality Spell Lore, Quality Spell Focus Mastery, Arcane Augmentation - Upgrades to pick an element a la Twilight from Citw

Myself.

these new items look awesome BUT... even higher stats on items then we have atm doesnt make any sense. since lvl30 is max lvl we dont need more power, all we need is more options.
give us hard time solving the gear puzzle not that "iwantnewstlootthereiscauseitsamusthave" no brainer. thank you!

Guessing the lam preview has the light armor and a cloth armor swapped around for set bonuses. I can't seem to locate the light one for the watch set.

Part of the Family is good. I like it a lot. If the armors look rad then I'm buying Sharn immediately.

I like all of the sets really. I'm sure I can find something to yell about when I dig deeper.

Why no light crossbow? Seems like this would be perfect time to give them an end game raid weapon.

Assuming no longbow due to chaosbow just coming with killing time, but what about the threads of fate increasing the damage dice by .5w. Will this also be given to those weapons from killing time?

A medium armor option to the Esoteric Influence set would be appreciated, especially considering the recent update to Eldritch Knight.

What type of bonuses are these? We're losing MRR from the set bonus this go around?

Also, a bit disappointed with the lack of AC bonuses in the gear as a whole. I think I saw one piece with parrying and one piece with natural armor. I don't recall seeing any with protection.

You are going to lose your mind. Sharn's equipment is the best looking stuff in DDO, hands down. None of the new appearances for armor have been hooked up yet on Lamannia, but hopefully you'll get a chance to take a look soon, and it's going to knock your socks off. If you'd like to get started on looking at appearances, the Shields and Weapons (and Runearms) on Lamannia contain the correct appearances, although they are - as everything on preview is - subject to change.

Are you seriously putting 94% fortification on a level 15 item? Why do you think this is useful? Just replace this trash stat with a blue augment slot... Also... it is nice to see the copy/paste in action with all the armor sets...

The bracers insightful spell focus mastery is redundant with the raid goggles of the same set. The bracers would be better served to have insightful spell penetration, which is missing from sharn

Ravenloft was a royal mess trying to build gear sets because of the way you duplicated stats and effects all over the place, and this is looking even worse.

To start with you duplicated a handful of stats just like in RL. You are completely missing other things. Will Save is an example. Save numbers have reached ridiculous levels, and now you don't even have all the base (enhancement?) saves on the gear. Why can't you just go back to one base Saves value, as opposed to splitting them into individual (reflex, will, fort) saves?

The only item with base Constitution is a belt. On that belt you have Heal Amp. You already have Heal Amp on half the armors? Why have it on the belt? Why not just have it on all the armors and put something useful on the belt, like say base Saves, all of them not just one type.

You have pretty necessary itemization for melee DPS & Tank builds on items that conflict for slots. I can't comment on casters because I don't play them or know how to itemize them effectively.

It looks like you did the put everything on two dartboard (one for the stat / effect and one for the slot) and throw a limited number of darts to pick the slots method, again. Your itemization layout is somewhere between a joke and a dumpster fire. It might work for a couple specific builds, but in general it is going to be a nightmare. MAYBE with a couple crafted slave lords pieces it could be made to work, but you say the set bonus form SL won't stack, so it's half-shooting yourself in the foot.

Insightful spell focus mastery is redundant between the raid goggles and bracers here. Maybe replace instightful spell focus mastery on raid goggles with insightful spell pen?

Sure, also a good call. Changed :)

Which one is the community voted item? Or is that still a surprise.

Do you really think that Shintao monks are gonna give up gloves slot for the Handwraps?
I don't think so
Im pretty sure there is no weapon designed that forces loss of an item slot
This is a fail

Also,
What happened to the goggles that were designed on the forums?
Didn't make the cut?

The Arcsteel Battlemage armors (BOTH of them) should give REPAIR amp instead of HEAL amp.

I also don't get what the heck is going on with Aetherbrand, Dusk Lenses, and Attunement's Gaze. Why do the Raid GOGGLES have the same bonuses as the BRACERS while you lose the good non-raid GOGGLES to get the set bonus? That's screwy. The Aetherbrand and the Dusk Lenses should switch bonus lists, and, frankly, the raid GOGGLES should be the ones with Spell Focus Mastery AND Insightful Spell Focus Mastery. That way you actually feel like you gained something from getting the raid goggles--slot consolidation.

It should look like this:
Dusk Lenses Goggles
Minimum Level: 15/29
Insightful Spell Focus Mastery +2/+4
Spell Cost Reduction +5%/+10%
Enhanced Metamagic - Empower
Enhanced Metamagic - Maximize

Aetherbrand Bracers
Minimum Level: 15/29
Potency +60/+154
Insightful Potency +30/+77
Reduced Spell Threat +25%/+62%
Shield Bonus to Armor Class +8/+21

Attunement's Gaze Raid Goggles
Minimum Level: 29
Spell Focus Mastery +7
Insightful Spell Focus Mastery +4
Enhanced Metamagic - Empower
Enhanced Metamagic - Maximize

That way the Raid Goggles actually overwrite the regular goggles instead of stupidly duplicating what's on the bracers.

Are these all min level 29 again? Any chance that can go to 28 at least, preferably 26 so you can use them longer?

Dwarven Axe: Hoarfrost, Herald of the Bitter Ice - Cold damage, Legendary Freezing Ice, Cold Iron - Upgrade: Fetters of Unreality

Seems like its just cruel to have this proc freezing ice but not have adamantine on it.

Raid Weapons:

These will have an upgrade path using Nearly Finished ingredients and Threads of Fate that will boost their dice, add an augment slot, and add their last effect. This will play very similarly to how Caught in the Web weapons upgrade, although it will use Threads of Fate as its primary resource rather than Commendations of Heroism. Sharn Raids will drop Threads of Fate as a Tier 4 Raid.

Tier 1 Upgrade will add an Augment Slot.
Tier 2 Upgrade will add their additional effect (unless you have The Eclipse Itself, and then you'll have your own upgrade path in which you pick a primary element)
Tier 3 Upgrade will add .5W (unless you have The Eclipse Itself, and then you'll have your own upgrade path in which you will pick your secondary element)

Weapons in this block have 5(W) and raid-tier loaded dice.

Weapon procs in this block are 10d6.

• Quarterstaff: The Eclipse Itself - Implement, Quality Potency, Quality Spell Lore, Quality Spell Focus Mastery, Arcane Augmentation - Upgrades to pick an element a la Twilight from Citw
• Dwarven Axe: Hoarfrost, Herald of the Bitter Ice - Cold damage, Legendary Freezing Ice, Cold Iron - Upgrade: Fetters of Unreality

• Scimitar: The Fractured Elegance - Keen V, Piercing DR Bypass, Glass shards DOT - Upgrade to Add: Vorpal

Unique Quest Weapons - Most of these (8/12) weapons have a Vorpal effect. It's fairly monotonous. Vorpal should be somewhat rarer than this, I believe. A few really common weapon types are missing from the quest and raid weapon list: Warhammer, Rapier, Longsword.

Raid Weapons - So if I'm reading this right. These weapons drop with 3 effects and 1 augment slot instead of the standard 4 and 2. So we have to upgrade them twice to get them up to par with other raid weapons... and the final tier 3 upgrade is just 0.5W? This seems like a lot of work for a tiny bonus. I'm not sure how much effort will have to go into upgrading these items. Since the bonuses are this small it should be fairly easy to upgrade the items.

If it is a lot of work to upgrade them from tier 1 -3, then the bonuses need to be bumped up a bit. On a 1d8+3 raid weapon 0.5W less than 4 extra damage. If it was a full 1W that would be somewhat more reasonable. Perhaps change of the upgrade order so Tier 1 gives the 4th effect, Tier 2 gives 0.5W and Tier 3 grants a 5th effect? That seems like something that's worth chasing after.

Quest Items - Over all quite few basic effects seem to be missing - Very few items have saving throw bonuses - No resistance or Fortitude bonuses. Only 1 reflex save and 2 Will Save items. Natural Armor, Protection, Parrying are also under represented. I'm happy to see a Spell Resistance item, those have been neglected over the past few years. It would be nice to see an insightful or quality SR item. There are very few of them in the game at the moment.

There will likely be a caster counterpart for these. Ideally, these are easily acquired without much effort.

DnD lore wise 'Moonblades' were classically longswords for the Elves. That nomenclature should not be on a khopesh.

'Twisted Willow' sounds more appropriate for the Quarterstaff.

'Moonbeam' would be a great name for a scimitar.

I'll swap it out. Any suggestions?

Why is acid left out entirely? (aside from the quarterstaff)
Why is acid not included in any of the set bonuses?

I understand that acid got a set in Killing Time but should a Raid Gear set eliminate it from ALL Sharn gear and sets? The Sharn sets all seem to provide a significantly larger set bonus than MountainSkin and allow the 5 piece slavers set to be replaced with a 3 piece set.

Will acid at least get a Filigree set? I believe it is currently the only element that does not have a Filigree set geared towards it with a +50 spellpower set bonus.

Are both of these items really Insightful Doubleshot 12%? Because right now the highest Doubleshot you can get is 12% and normally insightful bonuses are 1/2 standard bonuses.

Wallwatch Captain's Mask Helmet
Minimum Level: 15/29

Tendon
Accuracy +12/+33
Reflex Saves +6/+17
Doubleshot +9%/+23%

Is doubleshot equal to doublestrike now at each level or is this a typo? The Killing Time raid item had 12% Doubleshot and this quest item has 23%.

I cannot think of enough cuss words to explain to you how screwed up this set is. FIRSTLY, does the 20% doubleshot from the set bonus stack with the doubleshot values on these items!? IT **** WELL BETTER. SECONDLY, why in the name of all sense would you force us to choose between 23% doubleshot on one item and 12% INSIGHTFUL doubleshot on another item?!

The highest doubleshot value on gear currently available is 12% from Ravenloft RAID gear. There are NO. Zip. ZERO. NADA. NOT A SINGLE ONE insightful items in the game. So you can either get 23% on the base item or get 12% on the raid item for a WHOPPING 1% IMPROVEMENT OVER RAVENLOFT GEAR. Oh, and you have to wear TWO items to get this bonus.

How the . . . HOW DOES THIS EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE?!

The doubleshot is DESPERATELY needed but this is just . . .URGH. I don't even know how to fix this mess. It's SO BAD.

These are some reeeeally harsh words for a transcription error. Doubleshot is still at a half-scalar from Doublestrike, these notes are a little hastily written and don't reflect that. I would recommend looking at them in-game. I guestimate they'll end up at 13% and 6% respectively.

On lammy this set includes a light armor option but here I don't see that listed. Is this supposed to have the light armor option or no? I think at a minimum it needs to have light armor and in my view should have medium armor as well since its fairly common to see casters wearing medium armor, and even heavy armor, these days.

What exactly does Legendary Polycurse do? I'm familiar with regular Polycurse, but I'm curious how this will be scaled up to legendary levels.

I imagine it would be something along the lines of "On a critical hit, there is a chance for your enemy to be hit with one of the following effects: Identity Crisis, Constricting Nightmares, or Glass Shards. Something along those lines hopefully?


Also, big kudos to Lynnabel for already taking so many player suggestions into consideration.

Nope! The light armor listed is supposed to be part of the Ranged set. Already fixed internally, good catch!

It's not just your doubleshot. All the itemization is that bad for melee DPS / tank builds too. I don't even say any way to make a set comparable to what I use now. Two or maybe three things will be higher overall, and everything will drop by a huge amount. The itemization is a joke. At this point I'm glad I have not bout the preorder yet. Despite wanting to see the Sharn content, this may be the first DDO xpac I don't buy, because if this gear stays remotely like this that would be paying them for selling us a 'dumpster fire'

If you have any constructive feedback, please feel free to post it so we can make changes.

Bluff. Darn my fingers.

Is it possible to incorporate a medium armor option to the esoteric influence?

Interesting stuff, no item seems imaginative enough, most seem like a rehas of Rloft gear with more stat raising.

Why did you add a item that gives fire ele casters more crit chance since we can already hit 100 now? Why not crit damage?
Also, why no clickies?
Not even a single one

I have a question


Celestial Emerald Ring Ring
Minimum Level: 15/29
(STR, WIS, CON +8/21)
Insightful Incite +10%/+28%
Insightful Intimidate +8/+11
Linguistics +10%

Question,
So this ring adds +21 to three stats?
Str, wis, con?

Accessory items looks good, but weapons are kind of not very sophisticated.. They looks like made from same pattern: Vorpal, dmg effect 1, dmg effect 2, slot/DR bypass , end.

Where are special effects? Where is diversity? Why we don't have there paralyse, banishing, some cool stuff like Vampirism, Sirocco, Vulnerability, Improved Slowburst, Medusa Fury, Demon Fever, Wounding, Crippling etc. but with higher saves/numbers.

Weapons need second look, or will be useless compared to older items (f.eg. Blackrazor)

The FAQ and color coding preamble to this thread should answer this, but just in case, no - stats written like that give you a choice of the three attributes listed using the Nearly Finished crafting system.

Healing Amplification +30/+85
False Life +29/+81
Lifesealed +24%/+50%


That has two abilities that are redundant with the armors. Can we get something other than Hamp and False Life on this belt?

The is also a raid item in the Tanky Spell DPS items that gives Quick Draw. EK gets Quick Draw in the tree. I don't know if Artificer gets Quick Draw but if they do, that ability is totally wasted.

Can we another source of Improved Deception? The highest level non raid, non weapon source of this is the epic backstabbers gloves. I would love the ravenloft trinket but only recently came back and bought that expansion. Something a bit more accessible for newer/returning players please.

This belt is specifically for the situation in which you'd like to wear a different suit of armor from not Sharn but would still like the defensive bonuses that Sharn armor provides. Ideally, Sharn items provide options, and this belt is for the option that we can't actually prepare for - in which you hate all of these set bonuses (or they just don't work for your build) and you're looking for one-stop-shopping on defenses. This belt won't win any awards for sure, but it's there for a specific purpose, and I'd like to keep it that way.

Ok, since you're doing suggestions
I suggest you make these Handwraps count as 2 items towards the set
That way, outfit and wraps gives you set

Otherwise, drop the precludes glove slot completely
Because you'd have to take outfit, necklace and wraps for set, only combo
And I'm serious, not going to lose my gloves over these wraps
Duality is the goto

I have played an arcane caster for 13 years solid on ddo, mostly dc caster which is what this set is aimed at. About 10 years ago I stopped wearing cloth. Arcane spell failure penalizes us if we choose other options but I would ask that you not make the choice for us. Please give us an option in this set such as a choice to wear medium armor. Some of the other sets have multiple armor options. It should be of concern to you that the several dc casters I've spoken with are not planning on using this set the way it is currently implemented with the cloth option

Is there anyway to add medium armor or is this something set in stone? Also if your concern is the set bonus of mrr cap increase, that can easily be changed to another bonus type

---

I couldn't say this any better so just gonna quote her and say +1.

My main is also a dc caster and I am one of those plotting what other set to wear because the penalty for wearing a dress in the current end game content is simply too high.

What about on ir'Kesslan's Shattered Lens instead of the quality potency?

Legendary Thundershot vs. Impetus: Legendary Thundershot is the clear winner. Impetus should be the better of the two because it is the raid loot. Why doesn't Impetus have Keen V too? It doesn't compete with Legendary Thundershot's damage multiplier and critical threat range.

The key issue with this is most people would forego Sharn armor would be to wear the rl sets and in those cases the belt slot is required. This will drastically drop any use for it

First issue: DPS set
- Normal to raid goes from Base to Insightful and I do not see any viable replacement. - This is a really bad design choice
- Also the swap of TS for Assassinate Why? Why not just have both be Assassinate?

Family Recruit Sigil Necklace
Minimum Level: 15/29
True Seeing
Armor Piercing +12/+33
Deadly ???/???
Relentless Fury

Family's Blessing Raid Necklace
Minimum Level: 29
Assassinate +10
Insightful Armor Piercing +17%
Deception 18 (+27 dmg)
Deadly +17



Second issue:
- You completely drop Ins Phys Shel for command or healers bounty. The only other items that have are really crappy for a plate tank. I won't use and can't think or any plate tank I've seen in a long time use a tower shield. The other options are caster focused. - Bad design.
- I'm neutral on the loss of Ins Fort.

Standard Issue Faceplate Helmet
Minimum Level: 15/29
Melee Threat +25%/+62%
Intimidate +16/+22
Insightful Physical Sheltering +9/+27
Insightful Fortification +53%/+107%

Citadel's Gaze Raid Helmet
Minimum Level:29
Melee Threat +64%
Intimidate +22
Higher Caliber Command Morale to Cha Skills, hide penalty
Healer's Bounty


Third issue:
- NO item has a will save on it.
- Plate tanks have no viable Reflex save
- Melee DPS have no viable Fort Save
- Why can't you just make ONE base save for all saves? If you split up the Ins/Qual/Prof/Whatver into Ref/Fort/Will, it's annoying but can be somewhat dealt with.



Personal Peeves:
- Threat redution in a must have set piece. No one really runs tanks in 6 mans on my server. My main is a fist monk. If I can't put out enough threat to keep the bosses from chasing the kiting idiot, there is not point in being in the instance. This is one of the major reasons I solo more than anything. ****** game design in aggro mechanics and kiters.
- Having to give up gloves to use the wraps? ***? Who is going to give up an item slot you absolutely need to try and get a full set of gear effects for a weapon. I've seen you say you would like to nerf monks. It may have been a joke, but in the context of the thread, it looked like you were 100% serious. Is this a "ha ha let me show those monks" move?

Hammerfist Gloves
Minimum Level: 15/29
Doublestrike +9/+23
Threat Reduction +25/+62
Seeker +8/+21
Insightful Deadly ???/???

Platinum Knuckles Handwraps
Minimum Level: 15/29
Precludes Gloves Slot (while this is equipped, you can not have any Gloves equipped, and vice versa)
Impact I/V
Spiked (breaks piercing DR)
Enchanted Platinum Crowd Control
Doublestrike +9/+23


Quite bluntly, when I look at the itemization, I don't how to go about fixing it. For my main, I spent an hour or so trying to figure out how I can mix this gear with the gear from SL up and can't find any way to build a set that will have me at roughly the same overall level of stats / saves / defenses / DPS effects. Wis might go up by 2, but I'll probably have to use DoJ goggles to pull it off which at least lets fit in Stun at a reduced level. So, I loose Stun / lose PRR (a lot of it) / lose AC (a lot of it) / Saves go down (except for reflex) / Con goes down (can't fit any item with Insightful).

Even if I decided to stick with primarily RL gear, the couple items I would really want would break those sets.

I have no suggestions how to fix this overall mess. From top to bottom, the itemization is just bad.

I noticed that 1 of the docents has Repair Amp, while the other 2 have healing Amp.

I would like to see them all have Repair Amp. Or maybe allow the option of either. having 2 types of docents dropped, with either heal or repair amp.

---

My own caster invest heavily in eldritch knight simply for survivability - the extra hitpoints etc are too tempting, and you still get a fair amount of universal spellpower from the cores as well and it is very tempting to take the enhancements to allow casting in medium armour. The ravenloft magic set are similar to this one (cloth which gives a good bonus to casting both from the item and the set) I assume on the belief that there should be a trade off to get the best casting possible but very vulnerable versus not so good at casting but better survivability, which I understand but better casting doesn't help when youre dead, and too many mobs in reaver can't be held, slowed or instantly killed so you cant rely on your magic as a defence. Also tin cans can get 0% spell failure in heavy and still get the better caster benefits ;)

I'm torn - I hate the idea of all mages having to run around in armour and goes against the iconic image of a wizard but survivability is paramount.

They all should have Repair Amp, I'll make sure they're all set internally. The notes may be incorrect here.

Longbow - Twisted Willow

- Acid dmg, Poison dmg, Armor piercing, Keen

Bow users always seem to get the short end of the stick with weapon damage types, would have preferred to see a bow with holy and light damage.


Crown of Bitter Thorns

Raid Helmet

I think Lyn already said she'd switch to Seeker, which would be sweet.

after 13 years we finally get an item with divine augmentation and it goes in the same slot as the minor artifact that almost all clerics will want. :(:(

Where is the community item?

Few thoughts:

-Complete lack of resistance and very few save items. Don't have any particular suggestions, but an observation

-Wildwood Wrists has completely different abilities on Lamaland than in the thread (Insightful and Quality Deception). The item in-game is better imo, as other items provide the Insightful Deadly etc. Hoping notes are another copy/paste error!

-The ranged set could use a Medium armor too. Having a full set for the melee DPS set is welcome, but Favored Souls and Artificers could benefit from a medium set here, and I just got used to not having evasion on my Arti/Soul Inquisitive hybrid. Unless we can have a filigree set that finally gives evasion to those without Monk/Rogue levels...

-Please please please say the upgraded augment slot for the Raid weapons will give us the choice of Orange or Purple. I really want an orange slot on a ranged weapon, but they are super rare

-The stinginess with Insightful attributes is really frustrating for dc casters, especially those that are Wis based. This isn't a specific complaint with this loot, but there is only one item in the entire pack that lets you put Insightful casting stat on a body slot (if, for example, you wanted to wield a sexy new qstaff). I am pleased its Wis this time though, as the complete lack of Insightful Wis in Ravensloft was super frustrating.

-This might be a stretch, but could Spell Focus Mastery on Black Satin Waist be swapped for Insightful Spell Focus Mastery? There are quite a few items in the pack that grant the former, while the latter is mostly on Raid loot?

-The divine casting set is something I've hoped for for a really long time - it's really pleasing to see divine casters get some proper attention and genuinely nice items that aren't just turn boosts

Big picture, 81 false life is fairly meaningless to a tank. Maybe some type % based would be possible?

I can probably swing that if I have time. Might give people both, actually. Preview 2 will likely go more in depth as it's likely the crafting system will actually be functional.

There are no rings in this xpac that are really good for monk. There are couple that are okay but not great
There are several bracers in recent updates that are very useful for monks.

Can these bracers be turned into a ring? Or could have both a bracer and ring version?

I love the rune arms and the overtones of class warfare inherent in them. I would suggest doubling or tripling the power of break the bank so that it is easily the most powerful rune arm ever. Almost game breakingly strong But it consumes Gold Ingots only available in the DDO $tore! For 50 ddo points per stack of 100 ingots. When it runs out of ingots just have a special screen pop up with a button to smash labeled PtW (Prepare to waist'em) which auto rebuys 100 ingots.

Dumpster Fire on the other hand should consume a item marked as trash from the inventory every 10 shots or so and also receive a power boost If you have no items marked as trash it will consume a random item from your inventory. With a special FtP (Feed the Pyre) notification when it deletes a item.

3 different item ideas:

Shadow Sprinters Boots
Minimum Level: 15/29
Speed 30%/30%
Hide +16/+22
Move Silently +16/+22
Insightful Dexterity Skills
(remove insightful dex skills, and replace with dec/imp dec)

Celestial Amethyst Ring Ring
Minimum Level: 15/29
(INT, DEX, CON +8/21)
Dexterity Skills
Ghostly
Profane Attributes +1/+2
(remove profane attributes, and replace with dec/imp dec)

Wildwood Wrists Goggles
Minimum Level: 29
(INSIGHT INT, DEX, WIS +10)
Insightful Doubleshot +6%
Insightful Accuracy +17
Insightful Deadly +8
(remove insightful accuracy, and replace with dec/imp dec)

I'm not sure where deception (for lvl 15) and imp. deception (lvl 29) stack up in comparrison to some other item attributes as far as equal power. I'm sure the profane stat bonus ppl will not want to see go away, and the insghtful dex skills might be too weak as a equal replacement. IDK.

Let you decide. As far as equipment slots: Boots, Bracers, Ring imo are all good choices for imp. deception.

A couple of suggestions:

-- Add a medium armor option to the Esoteric Influence Set

This will support the EK tree in both Wiz and Sorc - especially for Sorcs that want to lean a little more spell damage v. melee damage

Requiring Braces in the set breaks the MountainSkin but I think that is an OK as a tradeoff



-- Add Acid & Cold to the Spell Power & Lore bonuses and add Charisma stat bonus of Arcsteel Battlemage Set bonuses
Like was done in Ravenloft with the belts, make two sets of gloves that cover 4 the elements and consider putting Conjuration DCs on the ones with Acid

This changes the set from being Artificer focused to a more broadly useful set for many builds that want to be "Tanky Spell DPS" - a nice choice for EK builds
You could consider changing the name from "Arcsteel Battlemage" to just simply "Battlemage"

We have a limited amount of Raid Loot slots before the loot tables get waaaay too cluttered for anyone to find anything, and since Melee-focused Quarterstaff just got an entry it was skipped in favor of other weapon types that haven't gotten the love they needed, such as Dwarven Axe. Next time, I promise :)

My suggestion that might ease this up just a little and make it much more friendly all around would be to take the non-set rings that have multiple stat options and make it so that you can EITHER slot Stat 21 OR slot Insightful Stat 10 for the stats that are applicable to the ring.

If you did that, I could see a LOT of really cool possibilities here. It'd also make it a heck of a lot easier to wodge the Minor Artifacts in somehow because there'd be some flexibility regarding what goes in which slot.
