Deleras traps

[Wu_Jen]

This is not true for DDO. You can not search for a trap if your search doesn't meet or exceed the trap's search DC.



Do remember that Find Traps is a bonus to search. It does nothing for helping you spot them (and spotting a trap gives you a popup warning message).

You can search for traps even IF your search isn't high enough, doesn't mean you will find anything though. [

So if a New Rogue was running Delaras with you you would refuse to load up Prayer for him?

You need to start experimenting with Prayer a bit if uyou think its a waste.... +1 To hit,Damage, Skills, and Saves while silmultaneously Debuffing any mobs in the AOE -1 is pretty sweet.

its my cleric and no I wouldnt carry prayer I usualy spend my sp on more useful to me anyways spells on keeping the party alive and I did play with prayer and for me it was a waste of sp.

I'm level 5, with max skill points in the Big 4. I also have Skill: Search and Skill: Spot enhancements as well as skill boost. I have +3 Search goggles so I think that gives me a total search skill of 21.

I would think a skill of 21 would let me find those traps but I don't recall what level the quest is. How tough are they?

Necro. Ka-pow!

Took my rogue 6 in there on Hard. In the last part, Thrall of the Necromancer 2, Spot warning never went off for the first, big, fire trap. Started searching where someone said it should be.

13 Intelligence? Check.
14 Wisdom? Check.
+5 Spot item? Check.
Heroism potion? Check.
Full ranks? Check.
First level of Search enhancement? Check.
Skill Boost +2? Check.
Might have had a Bard song on me, too.

Could Spot or Search for trap? Nope.

I only had a +3 Search item, so I know that was low by 2, but Spot didn't go off, either. ...Really? So then I cast Resist Fire 10 on everyone, and we ran through. With my apparently woefully inadequate 17 or 18 Reflex save, I failed the save twice rolling like a 5 and a 6. Dead. My character had 99 hitpoints, so not exactly made out of paper. He of course got hit for 109.

Before that, in part 1, couldn't find a box for the acid trap by the chest near the coffin fight and named guy. Was told there is no box there. Figured I'd spring it with my (apparently woefully inadequate) 17 or 18 reflex evasion, got hit three(!) times, saved on one rolling a 20, killed by the other two. ...really?
