The first part of the stream talks about a Panty Raid with an Ogre. Is this the underwear in question?



One of my favorite lowbie items, http://ddowiki.com/page/Item:Bloodkn...loth_Waistband

I sometimes slot a 5% yellow topaz of striding in it if I don't pull Grundok's Boots for the auggie.

Side note instead of a collectable, how about creating a collectable trade in for an augment called Lessa's Lily, which is a clear scalable dodge augment?

I could not watch the live today, but the archive is great! I only got half thru before my next event.

If you're playing a human arty you can take the human attack or damage boost to pair with the arty Battle Engineer enhancement for attack or damage boost.

Why? Because if you take both in the Battle Engineer enhancements they share the same cool down and use. However, if you take them in different trees you can use both at the same time.

For example human action boost to hit, then click Battle Engineer enhancement boost to damage, then click Endless fuselodge.

here is a snippet from another post I made on the same topic to show some clicks:

1 2 3 4 5

Human Action Boost to Hit + Arty Action Boost to Damage + Adreneline + Endless Fuselodge + Boulder Toss.

This is a general formula. You can expand and contract the sequence to suit your mood. For example,

1 2 3 4 5 6

Human Action Boost to Hit + Arty Action Boost to Damage + Stormrage + Adreneline + Endless Fuselodge + Boulder Toss.

Thanks for the fun run^^ - just so embarrassed that I forgot about that one spell ward in Breaking the Ranks and died jumping right into it d'oh *facepalm* -.-

Apart from that, I think what I wrote in party chat about the best tip for EE Lines of Supply wasn't formulated well enough (guessing based on how Cordovan requoted it in the vid^^):
Doing the Harpy optional (like we did in the Livestream), means that you basically only have to kill enough carriers - you can even pike the complete endfight, as the harpies will kill the frost giant end boss for you - yes it takes some time, but eventually they will - (I actually only waited it out once when I got a lengthy phone call at that point - when I returned from my afk 20-30 mins later the quest was completed (and I still alive^^) - no idea how long it actually takes the harpies to kill the boss, but definitely not more than ~30 mins )

Also when soloing EE Lines of Supply the harpies can be awesome for aggro management and survivability if you lack both CC and uber-DPS -> let the harpies grab initial aggro and then kill everything -> much easier

Lastly one final tip for solo EE Lines of Supply: Ignore the gnoll carriers - they are simply way too fast to kill them all at once for the optionals if you don't have serious CC - imo this phase is much better used for cleaning up all of the combat mobs, so that you can focus all your dps on the giant carriers once they spawn (ofc killing a few gnoll carriers in the process as well does not hurt - I just found that trying to hunt them all down for the optionals brings more problems than what it's worth)

just my 2c ... oh and:
Thank you Cetus for your awesome videos! Only after watching your solo EE A Study in Sable video I was finally able to pull that one off (although far messier than you in your vid^^)

Hello, I am a fledgling streamer with only a few hundred followers and a concurrent viewership average of 5-30. My question is this, how do I get OBS to capture DDO? For the life of me it refuses to be captured, i've tried game and window captures, Aero on and off, full screen, and windowed. Has anyone else ran into this issue and solved it?

-Thank you!

I use xSplit for the stream, but have both seen and heard that OBS has difficulty with some games being played in windowed mode. If you aren't getting a game picture, try running DDO in full-screen and see if that helps.

Cordovan, regarding the quick runs:
Most of what Cetus said is solid; blitz for the win. Since you can keep it running all the time, as a LD, you have 250% damage all the time. Some get fury if they don't want to rely on keeping blitz running, and it has some spikes that are better, however most melees run blitz because it cleans trash about as fast as you can.

At least on Sarlona, everything being done looks like standard practice.

Apologies for being out of touch on this, but can someone point me to something that will answer some very basic noob questions?

• Starting with the technical: How? Which tools? Are there desktop capability and/or bandwidth requirements?
• Moving on to the existential: Why? Are there really people out there that would watch me playing DDO? Don't they have much better things to do? How do I reach those people?

Apologies again. This all seems very Truman Show to me. Except that in this case I am Truman and I know there's a camera. Weird. Fill me in please.

What will that mean for companies like Turbine who use Twitch to promote their game?

awesome stream with Cetus. nice to see some attention for end game and elite players. I watched the whole video and was truly impressed.

To capture DDO with OBS you need to run OBS as administrator.

You need a capture program ie OBS or Xsplit. I personally use OBS and I find it more user friendly and its open source.
Bandwidth Requirements: You need a resonable upload speed to be able to stream at a decent quality, minimum I would recommend would possibly be 8Mb/s.

Me and a few other people stream DDO on a regular basis and people are quite happy to DDO, maybe for advice or just to hang out.
To reach people, just start streaming and people will find the stream if they are looking for DDO. Also, announce it on twitter, these forums, hang out with other DDO players and they can advertise your stream and send their followers your way.

Geoff, If you would like more info, or help just give me a shout on twitter @illarvan I'm hardly ever on the forums, as my main account is broken and has been for the last year.

EDIT: This is a good video on why people watch Twitch
