Lag on Orien is completely unacceptable; you can guess what that does to the populations. So even if your somehow not getting this lag, good luck either finding a group to run with or completeing the...

Its great that staffs are getting a boost and all, but just so people know, this changes does NOT effect damage clickies. Just crafted a superior impact V staff to test it; nop still only lasts 3...

More stationary crossbow testing, this time on a 13 wizard

No rapid reload or rapid shot:
Heavy Crossbow: 28 shot with a BAB 6; 34 hasted / 32 with BAB 13; 39 hasted

Light Crossbow: 29 shots...

Just did some testing today with my lvl 4 Art with rapid reload and rapid shot with the crossbows

Bolts/bursts fired while stationary without haste over 1 min:
Light Crossbow: 44 shots
Heavy...

And that is no more griefing than simply not inviting the player to another of your runs, which you can do for any reason or none at all; you don't have to run with anyone you don't want to. In your...

Don't see how this would increase griefing; its a tool to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of the dps.

I support the op's suggestion for 3 reasons:

1) Efficiency is of HUGE value to...

Got it on the 6th run; guess its still on the loot table then :)

I'll do another run on Elite then; maybe was just really unlucky.

I have run "Under the Big Top" 5 times tonight; 3 times on normal, 1 on hard, and 1 on elite. There was nothing but vender trash in every chest :(

It has NEVER taken me this long to pull a named...

Don't understannd why they don't; most other MMOs have em. It makes it real easy to review your squelch list; which is not easy in DDO.

I suppose Enervation is good vs targets with SR, but vs everything else, scroll casting it is the way to go :)

This could be a nightmare to balance, and in the end would just result in groups expecting all wizards to be firewall spamming bots. Update 9 helped end that; I really don't want to go back there :( ...

I made a sugestion a while ago that could make the "buff specs" like Abjuration and Illusion less painful to utilize. http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=313141 (ideas was for an additional cost...

I certainly hope so! :)

But in the meantime, why not offer less crappy spells options for the SLAs that are of severely limited application, like choosing between Command Undead or False Life for...

I could, but some people might not want to. The AM offers greater control and versility, while the PM offers self-healing and immunites.

To me, PMs always come across as soloers, possible...

/signed, lets hope they do this when they make metamagic use a per spell checkbox, and not the PITA toggles they are now.

Because some of them just are not very good :(

For example, a necro speced archmage (AM) can select: lvl 6: Chill Touch, lvl 9: Command Undead,lvl 12: Halt Undead, lvl 15 Enervation, lvl 18 Waves...

I'd say keep grinding Vale, Shroud, and the Subterrane until you hit 20. Then grab the house P and D lowie packs during a sale (Phiarlan Carnival and Sentinels of Stormreach) to run on epic. Both...

Go Orien; 3 reasons. Its the newest server, which means it might be the fastest. All the ftp have to start there, so populations are good. Fnally, the newbies need all the guidance they can get. :)

Just hit me twice on Orien; first time the game "refused" to let me in while still up :(

Arcane bolt/blast are not affected by metas.

Assuming few saves, arcane bolt comes ahead in the dps race due to its very short cd, as the numbers below show. The advantage of MM and CM is that...

If you want to land arcane bolt/blast on high evasion mobs, you need to drop their saves. Dancing the mobs drops their reflex saves by -10. You could also use web, holds, and debuffs to get past...

Definitely seems like no one in the player base knows if, and how much, webs, holds, or blind effects impact reflex saves.

Could someone please prove me wrong? Or maybe a developer could help me...

I though hold effects drop reflex saves, but I have no idea how much; maybe they removes all dex bonus to saves? Really have never seen any info on it :(

Thx, I added that one and the other 2 I forgot. I hope someone knows about the web and blindness issue though :)
