[Monkey_Archer]

Yes, there's lots of bad in this update but is there more good?

I like whirling steel strike...

Thanks for starting this thread +1 Rep.

Right now I am trying to get lam downloaded, I didn't make a back up before I flatened my machine for upgrade to Windows 7 so I am having to redownload. But once I have it, I can't wait the experience all the newness glory.

Hope to see you on Lam soon!,

I love Radiant Servant: Positive Energy Aura. Its the ultimate in truly lazy healing for a cleric and I can keep it up indefinitely in the higher levels. Netting 23 base healing (27 if I pop on Superior Ardor IV or higher). Also, with all the monks on Lamannia hanging around the monk trainer to redo enhancements I sometimes stand over there to watch the highly healable builds pop off ticks of 70+.

Positive Energy Aura also stacks with other ones, so I could see some really interesting results with several Radiant Servants in a group.

1) Trapmaking
2) The new font they use for monster/Npc Battlecry (it s now readable)
3) the guildie things
4) House P revamp: more elf like, less swamp like
5) augment summoning


I like this update, very much, and i dont care for nerfs

a good day for me

I think the Cleric PRE is a worthy addition. The crossbow additions to the mechanic (repeaters and int dam mod) seem pretty useful too.

Now that is good news

Firewall... appears to have been buffed.

Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing if DDO has a better sense of “balance” after all the changes. Also, I’m looking forward to more lag resistant biweekly beatdowns of my favorite trio of diabolical foes.

I’m kind of looking forward to getting my ToD Rings… finally (Increased boot ingredient drop rate my @$$)… and then reincarnating as a ninja spy. I also hope to start hosting my own DDO bit called “Ask a DDO Ninja-Spy”.

I’m looking forward to the new rogue capstone. (except for the inevitable Pick 2 of the following dilemma: Weapon Prof: Scimitar, Exotic Weapon Prof: Kopesh, Oversized Two Weapon Fighting.)

I’m looking forward to 12 Ranger and 12 Monk becoming interesting build break points.

The new Frostmarrow Knight, he has a freezing ice weapon!

[Elfvyra]

Anything new is good, so I like all of it so far. Have to wait and see what gets changed, added or deleted for the live patch.

Sadly shadow humping doesn't work when the aura is turned on.

The posts on this update are making me itch to break out my pale master wizard again - the skellies where a bit underwhelming in the first release - sounds like they are getting some love too. And negative energy damage spells! Woot! Finally I can justify hanging on to that void lore scpetre hehe.

He's always had that... it just had a DC in the 20's. Elite Threnal was about the highest I ever saw that thing proc short of the mob rolling a one. Now if that freeze reliably lands in IQ and Amrath content I'll be a bit more impressed.

[Ollathir]

I cant say from experience, cause I cant get into lama, but the guild stuff looks interesting.

[omastar444]

Liked:
Guild airships
The new quests
The loot from the new quests
New font for monster yells
Guild renown for getting collectibles (Something I already do)
Rogue Mechanic being overall awesome
Augment summoning and new spells (Pale master is happy)

Neutral:
TWF (I refuse to complain till I see for my self how the new system works)

What do I like?

The nerfs.
They show that Turbine isn't afraid to do what has to be done to achieve balance.

*Gives you the thumbs up.*


I'm not that ****ed that the Shroud will take two rounds again instead of one because there are less attacks going on. Heck with out people getting lag deaths the total damage might not be that far off.
