DDOGamer: Working So Well I Had To Write About It Again

Sometimes, things pan out exactly as you had planned!

Hi Geoff thx for the post. Question: the screenie you provided shows 25% melee attack speed--I assume that is with FH at full tilt. Are you also hasted or in wind stance? If so, then I assume FH does not stack and would hence need to be in its upper two tiers to influence someone hasted?

All I saw was 0 PRR

Re the 0 PRR: yes that is scary but Oriental is still mainly in Min Level 11 gear while awaiting his return to Epic levels.

Re the Fatal Harrier: No stacking until you get into the upper tiers. Fatal Harrier is behaving differently than it did when I wrote this post. It used to proc on every kill but last night it would not proc at all. Then this morning it did again, I was not able to figure out what was causing the difference, but I think it may be Haste?

Did someone mess with Fatal Harrier? Did it previously stack differently?

[Saekee]

It must be an enhancement bonus to attack speed and hence is non-stacking.

Haste boosts do stack, though. Below is a screenie with my toon with both Haste and LD's haste boost active. They stack to 45%. This is for handwraps which would then give the unlisted extra 10%.

For this reason, perhaps the fastest attack speed could be through maintaining three classes with haste boosts in their enhancement line? That would be a ranger/fighter/rogue mix. One could utilize all three throughout a quest, giving as many bursts as possible, augmenting them with Alchemist's Pendant (for one extra use)?

Or maybe just two of them and splashing Druid as the third for fatal harrier? Then the boss burst DPS would not be a problem--save a few for the end fight.

• Kensei is Tier 1, only 1 Ap each, and also has an enhancement that gives 3 extra (although according to the wiki it is bugged to be 20% not 30%). I am not sure if the extra bonus applies to all action boosts. Anyone know?
• Thief Acrobat and Tempest are tier 2, 2 AP each

Legendary Dreadnought's speed boosts can't also be taken with class ones.

Did you die? When you get raised it shows on the hotbar as being active (with the blue barrier) but it's not. You have to turn it off and back on again, or relog to fix it.

It is the same bonus type as the haste spell, but it does stack with [fighter] haste boost and single weapon fighting, and acrobat staff thingy.

I did not die.

I haven't planned Oriental's EDs yet, just some vague ideas on what might be helpful. That said, I suspect I will want to twist in Haste boost from Legendary Dreadnaught.

It makes sense that it would stack with swf--I suppose that should be thrown into the mix for ultimate attack speed build?
