Some advice from the vets

[Shiiome]

Hi, I just recently got back into DDO after a few years. I was on at launch but my schedule didn't really let me get very far before I had to drop. Anyway, now that I plan on being able to devote more time to the game I had a few questions about end game numbers.

I'm not looking to use a pre made build, although I do plan to check some out for reference, but I'm not really sure what viable numbers would looke like. For example, what's an appropriate armor class for an end game intimitank, what are decent saves, what's a good to hit bonus? If there's a thread that I'm not finding that answers these questions for me I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

I've been mapping out some characters with the character planner, but it's hard to know if I'm putting together something that will be a hindrance since I don't know what good looks like. I have a premium account, but since I just started I don't have access to 32 point builds or drow. Any advice is much appreciated.

Make what ever you want get 1750 favor and reroll or tr into a 32-34 point build.Thats what i would do.

65 ac unbuffed is the magic number for most raids on normal. add bark skin and you're at 70, bard songs and you're higher then that. above 70 bosses start missing you,below 70 they'll hit most or all of the time. higher is obviously better and there are people walking around with ac in the 90's.

55 intim is a solid base for an intimitank (23 skills + 15 item + 6 cha bonus + 3 focus + 2 bullheaded + 6 greensteel). add bard buffs and things start to get fun. again, higher is obviously better, I have a guildie with a 73 intim.

saves in the 20's are decent, 30's are better, 40's are hard or impossible to get on most builds but if you can make it happen then by all means go for it.

these numbers will change as new content is added. good luck!
