    Default Keys

    Another great show, but 16 is not my number!

    Perhaps I should solo instead, but I grouped and only got 3 keys in hour and I was very active killing stuff:

    https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...=1#post5711872

    At that rate (from my post above) of drops I'm looking at needing 24 key to complete an item. At 3 an hour, 24/3= 8 hours of game play for just the keys.

    No way can I make an augment of pumkin cosmetic hat in an hour.

    Based on my play experience Friday night I would like to see the Key drop rate increased. However, I will see if I can do better on the keys by running solo instead, and same for the challenges, when it comes back out.

    I would like an option to get keys from ingrediant trade in like Crystal Cove.

    This game still has need for tanks? Serious question, we run every raid on EE weekly and haven't seen a dedicated tank in years.

    Who's the target audience for the podcast?

    You assume there is only one way to do something?

    You are correct tanks are not common and are generally not needed, but if you want to build one and raid with it, who is to stop it? So a discussion on what would be an ideal tank build for a raid isn't a bad idea.

    Of course not, there are always multiple ways to accomplish a task but best practices exist because . . . . wait for it . . . they are BEST PRACTICES. And a "tank" hasn't been a best practice for anything since at least the level 28 increase.

    I was just curious if I was in another time warp, being back to the future week and all that.

    I tank all the time, especially when I late join Devil's Assault.

    That's tank right?

    When you sit at the quest entrance and get XP?

    Tanks are absolutely still a widely used practice in raiding. "Tank" does not mean a heavy armor shield bearing character, and we made mention of several alternatives.
