Race for Druid and stats

[Diyon]

1. blood moon only effect your pet i believe.. at least last time it does. you see the icon but it have no effect on you.

2. from cb phase 1 wolf have been attack at this speed, turbine claim it to be bugged.. and it never get fixed. it seem to be attacking way faster then 30%(the old wolf form have no bonus in attack speed.. they add that to description later in phase 4 i think) so likely you will be attacking at 30% rate when they finally decide to fix this. (please note that alot of things are still borken, like the berry. dev promised to have it function in public area..but they never get the job done..yet)

p.s. oh.. reguarding attack speed.. i have an acrobat toon with all the speed stuff.. and it all shown that druid attack speed may still be bugged.. so don't count on it to continue on release. (acrobat attack speed is 20%(prestige) + 10% gear + monk stance 10% + action boost(?% can't remember) + haste).


hmm where you get 15-20/x2 cri range? last time i check it was 17~20.. 16~20 with improve critical blunt..(or i might be wrong..)

also.. how is it different from twf you ask?

twf base off hand proc rate is 20% with three feat you get it to 80%.. you are really attacking 180% faster..

p.s. please correct me if am wrong.. but in ddo you apply full strength bonus to both weapon.. at least last time i play my ranger it does...did they change it in this expansion? or my data are outdate?

Blood moon frenzy should effect you.

Acrobat speed: Its been throughly tested, Acrobat II only ends up with a total of +15% from haste (the gear and monk won't stack, those are enhancement bonuses, and these won't stack with haste. Or at least this is how it should be with the enhancement bonuses).

15-20 comes from the base: 18-20 with improved crit is 15-20. 18-19-20, 15-16-17.

What you mean there is you are attacking at 180% normal speed, or 80% faster. You do not apply your full STR bonus to offhand attacks unless you are a monk using handwraps. This is how its been for a long time. I'm sure of this.

I want to know what makes the TWF attacks so much better than wolf forms attacks as that seems to be implied, not how the style works. People keep saying that the attack damage is cruddy, but TWF isn't, why? As I already pointed out, a full doublestrike setup from feats and/or destinies gets pretty close to how many attacks TWF gets.

Your data is outdated. Off-hand provides 1/2 STR mod and has for quite some time.

Blood moon frenzy should effect you.

Blood Moon Frenzy doesn't actually give any bonuses to the player, only his or her minions.

1d10 base= 5.5 average
STR mod= 16
Lit II
Holy= 7
Shocking burst= 3.5
Lightning strike= 9.15
41.5

Adding in my 13Druid/6Fighter/1x/5US Tank builds expected damage in dps mode
+5 Weapon
+5 magic fang
+1 force damage
+14 sneak Druid(no capstone for my build)
+8 sneak Tharnes/etc
+5 exceptional sneak
+3 luck Paladin Past life(almost done, used a stone to get it quickly)
+9? Bard
+3.5 good from Sentinel
+7 holy from Sentinel
+3.5 (+7 when mob <50%, so divided by 2)
105.5 total + crits

It isn't that bad, and I still can use my handwraps and get some bursting Tod rings when using them. Didn't test cove gloves or bonus unarmed [W] though, they should work when using no weapon or wraps.

About the attack speed buff, since there seems to be some confusion.

It isnt a buff. It was stated by a dev that it isnt an actual number bonus. It is just that since wolf attack animation is faster then sword/board humanoid attack swings, it ends up doing damage 30% faster then it would in humanoid form. It isnt a buff, it is just because of the way they made the animations, and they left it. It was added later into the description because it WAS a higher attack speed then normal. It just wasn't a "buff" so is stackable to everything else.

and 105 damage for u is good? is horrible weak

[Xyfiel]

and 105 damage for u is good? is horrible weak

It is a tank build not a dps build

There are more numbers to be added, crits, Druid animal +x[W] spells, item bonus to damage, higher strength, haste boost, damage boost, haste, vengeful hunter, etc.

It is a hybrid, this is just its melee damage.

[Diyon]

and 105 damage for u is good? is horrible weak

That wasn't for a dps build. Wolf form dps spec would do more.

[BoBo2020]

Does the active monk past life and/or reinforced fists increase the base damage of the wolf and bear forms?

[Sarnind]

I see what you did there. Well played.

I can't believe no one has commented yet on your post. This is my third time reading this thread, and I keep looking for a comment on your post, but no one seems to have noticed it.

Good comment.

Thanks for the laugh!
