Here is the new ability/spell design:

why does it say (champion) behind your class?

Champion = 32 point. You can now tell who is a 28 point by examineing them.

[Gnorbert]

love the buff timers.


HATE tht you can see who is a 28 point build. Wonderful, another way for people to be discriminated against for no good reason.

oh sweet, another tool to prevent ppl from joining partys

Regarding the character inspection window -
Do the durations change while you're watching?
Have you checked to see if you get a similar output on mobs?

This looks like it may be nice for those of us trying to keep debuffs up on boss critters.

heh i like it.

When people see my 28 pnt barb severely outkilling there 36 pnter, they will know whats up

If anyone descriminates against 28 pnters, well thats there problem, not yours, thats how you need to look at it. Knowledge is power. Knowing more about someone is not a bad thing.

Also should help u distinguish between a single tr and multi tr to see whos really crazy

I like the durations in there too. Easy to tell if soemone needs a new haste without having to ask how many seconds left. Tho it looks a bit cluttered so an option to turn it off may be good too.

I hate the dumbing down of the descriptions. Like they weren't bad enough. argh.

So now, not only do they blantantly lie about the spell damage dice, but they do it twice, and in 2 different ways, so stupid.

EG: shocking grasp.. 1 to 6. or up to 30? lol ***. or 1d6 or up to 5d6? lol neither of those are right. It deals 1d3+3 per caster level, with a max of 5d3+15 at level5.
Not only that, the NEW BETTER descriptions ins more vague and wrong then the old up. Up to 30 at lvel5? no mention of the fact the minimum damage goes up?

Plus the bloody thing is a clicky so it doesn't scale, youd think it could be more dynaic and mention that.

lol so stupid. I just want a "descriptions always off all the time" option, because clearly whoevers in charge of them has severe brain damage.

oh sweet, another tool to prevent ppl from joining partys

Couldn't you just do math with myDDO to figure out the build points on a toon already? It's not like it's easier to run around the entire world to find the guy who hit to join your party so you can Z target them...

No they don't change while watching them.

Haven't checked mobs. I'll run out and find one.

Also if you want to see what it says for 28pt.

ss of my first character rolled up when I started playing DDO.

[Visty]

aura of good isnt permanent anymore????

[Angelus_dead]

I hope they replace "2 minutes 25 seconds remaining" with "2:25". You know what it looks like when a character has the buffs for high level combat? There is NOT room for pointless words.

[Depravity]

Awesome, tyvm.

[rimble]

aura of good isnt permanent anymore????

It constantly reapplies itself (so it can hit new targets in the area). I guess that's why it used to pulse with...what was it, Bless?

[Angelus_dead]

Here's a suggestion for the devs regarding spell text:
Leave the "D&D dice" area as is for explaining the rules. Change the previous area to give current numbers, meaning factoring in level, elemental mastery, combustion, maximize, and anything else relevant to the current player.

[Daehawk]

aura of good isnt permanent anymore????

It refreshes every 5 seconds.

[Daehawk]

To answer the question if it appears on enemies.

The answer is yes.

Enemy View:


Minion View:

[Consumer]

If anyone has a TRed toon it would be nice to know if I will be "18/2 Hero" now that the build points are included in the bio.

[Daehawk]

Here's a ss of the enemy with the Debuff Timers.

[bobbryan2]

But spell dice aren't 1-6.

Why say necrotic finger will possibly do 1 hp of damage if it will never do 1 hp of damage.

I guess I just don't understand why they don't just say that the spell does 1d3 + 3 damage.

[Eladiun]

Timers on Buffs...Great
1 to 6...meh if it makes the game easier to understand no big deal. I still don't like the change from THAC0.
