The truth is many of the high-level decisions are made by people who don't understand the game enough to know why something would cause a balance issue.

FvS shield-blocking with DOTs is OP . ....

Which is what gives me some measure of hope. A KotC with either ravager or Tempest as a racial PRE might be pretty friggin cool.

Point taken . . . but what does this have to do with KoTC being a lousy PRE?

KoTC isn't good for that either.

You've gotta kidding me. There are dozens of ideas (most bad) posted here each week that would balance things much better than they are without nerfing anything.

but newly minted 20s universally suck . .. is that balanced? :)

And what Madmatt said is right . . . the newly-minted 20 fighter or barb is STILL gonna do more damage against EOs than a KoTC. ...

I just spit coffee on my desk. I'm hoping my co-workers don't smell the whiskey or I'm fooked . . .

Ah . . . but if you don't play the high end why does it matter?

Remember the game we came from, remember how we had to balance the ships based on what the high-end of pilots could do in them and...

And you couldn't be more wrong. If things are balanced with Korthos gear is the game balanced once people have greensteeel and epic loot? It's preposterous to think it would be.

If you play...

Come on, you know this to be true. What toons do we pull out of our stables when we want to shut off our brains and crush a quest?

That comes with experience. And from some of the pugs I saw this weekend I have to agree that the majority of people still don't know that they are doing, but they will learn.

I'm sure you laugh...

"tanking" doesn't exist in PnP, the whole concept of it is artificial and silly. But some developer in an MMO thought up the precious "DPS - tank - heals" silliness 10 years ago and like sheep every...

You can have as much challenge as you want in DDO. Play non-twink perma-death if you want to be hardcore, if you want to pretend you actually have skills play a pale-master or an FvS.

it's time to dump the earlier state of this on Lamania and let us "break" it. let's find the OP combos and find ways to prevent them from happening.

There has been too much speculation and not...

When talking about class balance the "average pugger" is irrelevant. You need to balance for the high-end.

BS, you can get it in 3 days. That is a complete an utter nonsense argument.

18 or 20 defender builds are also very nice.

I'm not sure the base heal damage, i think it's 250? After amp and stuff I'm getting 400ish is on my (ironically enough . . .) pally and ranger.

The side-effects are -10 to all stats for 30...

Forgot about that . . . yes, the resists should scale to your level. level 30 resists in harbor quests is silly. I mean it's not the end of the world as what happens in the first 2-4 hours of a...

DPS is NOT the only thing that matters . . . but the other stuff pallies bring to the table is NOT enough to make up for the lack of DPS that pallies have compared to the fighters/barbs. The biggest...

You'd have an argument if Silver Flame pots didn't exist in the game.

SF pots do exist, therefore you don't.

The bonus is not big enough for it to be as exclusive as it is. For their damage to be as exclusive as it is for EOs they should trump fighters and barbs by a noticeable amount.

What would make...

Ship buffs should last until death.

Famr holyflame clubs from Deleras, with Silver weapons from an arti they'll break DR.

SHould I take UMD on my rogue?

/signed.

I'll spend money on this.
