    Default cunning trinket event item.

    Anyone know if the cunning trinket 8.1 event item DCs stack with existing items.

    My guess is no, but with the stacking seeker for the bold trinket one never knows.
    Although melee getting uber stacking buffs while casters get the shaft would be nothing new.

    There's a thread in General that says that it doesn't. I'm getting really annoyed with all of this stuff that gives melee classes incremental advantages (stacking +2 Seeker, for example) while casters get more stuff that doesn't stack.

    Thanks +1, and we are in agreement

    stacking melee good
    stacking casting bad
    This seems to be the idea in the item design department, not counting the eardweller you have to go back to the mod 5(abbot) to see unique and porerful caster items.

    Imo a +1 stacking DC would be just right for a trinket, you couldn't wear the litany, eardweller, or HOGF. With +6 psionic str bonus, +2 stacking seeker, epic items that help the charactor other than gear consolidation, melee are the most spoiled of ddo archetypes.

    chrono set bonus statcks does it not?
    3 Item Set Bonus: Profane Natural Armor Bonus +1, Profane Strength +1, Evocation Caster Level Bonus +1
    5 Item Set Bonus: Profane Natural Armor Bonus +1, Profane Strength +1, Profane Constitution +1, Evocation Caster Level Bonus +1, Conjuration Caster Level Bonus +1

    not saying casters haven't been getting the shaft but they haven't been completely neglected since mod 5.
    Move along , Nothing to see here

    Conjuration +1 caster level is pointless.
    Evocation +1 caster level is mostly pointless.

    Ok, fine, the epic versions aren't bad (+3) but they take up way too many slots to really be viable.
    The thing is, Wizards are all about DCs at endgame. No items that we have gotten in a very long time seem to really help that. That's what we're complaining about.

    And, unless they stealth fixed tonight, the +3 evoc bonus doesn't even work...

    I'm not disputing the the Save DC not stacking sucks, but there was the Dagger from the new event that was nice for casters.

    Logging in right now to check...

    ... and the Greater Cunning Trinket does not stack with any other +1 Enchant DC Item. Tested with bracers and Spirit Sight goggles.

    If it makes you feel better the seeker from the trinket isn't stacking as advertised.
