Hello DDO developers,
In the interest of getting more players to use unused enhancement lines, i propose to add additional enhancement line AP progression costs. So instead of 1/2/3 AP and 2/4/6 AP, how bout a 2/3/4 AP and 1/1/1 AP also!. Heres my logic...
Current Progression Lines:
1/2/3 = 6AP
2/4/6 = 12AP
My Suggestion
1/1/1 = 3AP
1/2/3 = 6AP
2/3/4 = 9AP
2/4/6 = 12AP
Some enhancements may be viewed as too strong to cost only 1/2/3 AP (i.e. Human Improved Recovery or Barbarian Improved Damage Reduction) and therefore the cost is 2/4/6. Unfortunately i don't believe many people use the entire enhancement line because 2/4/6 AP cost is just too much. Instead by changing the cost to 2/3/4, the initial level is still the same, but it would encourage more players to progress to level 2 and 3.
Along the same line. Some enhancements should cost less than 1/2/3 AP. In particular i am talking about skill enhancements. Do you know any caster that takes enhancements to concentration? or clerics to heal? Seems like only rogues use skill enhancements and thats not a real good since every class has potential skill enhancements to use. So my recommendation is to put all skill enhancements to cost 1/1/1. The rogues would benefit most from this change, but i think rogues need a little boost anyways.![]()
My suggestion will add more tiers to the enhancement line beyond 6AP and 12AP thus encouraging use of less used enhancement lines and promoting diversity of builds!
Thoughts?
Note: I intentionally did not mention the 4/2/2 progression line which is currently reserved for PRC enhancements.
