Reaper and Champion Lamannia pass

[Eth]

Oh, the aura reapers on reaper 10 will kill melee before they reach them, and also kills ranged around corners and at such a long distance you can't really kite them, if you have LoS on one you are generally in range to take 500? stacking every few seconds and they also seemed immune to CC, although I died too fast to really know what hit me. The dot is for 15 seconds, so if you get a single aura stack you are taking 2.5k damage and are going to die, even with a healer hire or someone else tossing you a cocoon or renewal. Due to needing to run from aura, you can't stand in consecrate, because you will build enough stacks to die.

The fear reaper aura seems much fairer to me this time, compared to the last build.
On the last build it would hit you for 2k on the first tick. This time it slowly builds up instead. The damage per tick on the first stack was only around 20-30 damage. A 15 stack would tick for 600-800ish. Getting to 15 takes a good minute. How long was that reaper alive in your case?

Reapers can be CCed and even instakilled.

If a fear reaper is in a bad spot (behind a wall) it could really screw you though, since the aura seems to have no limit in range and goes through everything if in LoS or not.

I'm not going to adapt to heal other people. If it was a style I enjoyed, I would already be doing it.

Therefor you will probably stay at Elite, like most zergers/solo players do in future DDO. People that will adapt, have their chance to feel the pain in Reaper. You will be happy, that can zerg entire game, they will be happy to play teamwork. Everyone happy.

You need to adapt if you want to go forward Tilo, even Rl is like that. Never sit down too long on something you feel comfortable with, and anyway tossing a cocoon to another party member isn't that hard, you need minimal awareness of what is going on in the quest.

Apparently all scaling damage goes to 10% while enemies do 10x damage.

The real scaling is this:

Damage Received: Baseline*exp(number of skulls*0.25)
Damage dealt: Baseline*exp(-number of skulls*0.25)

On a baseline of elite. You can find the numbers here:

This is WAY too much damage on spells, particularly AOE spells. You can't avoid the Horrid Wilting spam, and it lands for 3000 damage. Spells shouldn't have as much modification damage-wise as melee/ranged.

The problem is that it will completely imbalance evasion vs heavy armor builds. If you want to play heavy armor, you will be forced into a pure tank with a shield. The worst spells are the ones with no save, obviously, but in general spells will fry people without evasion at high skulls.

I saw a guy with 150 MRR + tower shield (so 300MRR) get hit for ~700 from a spell you could avoid. This was a dedicated tank with shield block and absorptions, so on a regular toon this means you are a goner.

Basically, it's like playing a quest as a Legendary Elite raid where you get hit = you die. Oh, and you also do only a tiny fraction of the damage you normally would. I find this kind of interesting, actually, as it seriously levels the difference between builds. There isn't much value to building for DPS specifically because the effect is going to be tiny.

The first part is true, in high skulls in most high level quests you will be 1 shot unless you are a tank. However, the DPS part is less clear. While it is true that it buffs enormously insta killing, it is nonetheless true as well that some stuff MUST be DPSed down, mainly red named and death warded mobs.

Going to be a lot of ranged kiting and plinking away from a safe spot again, because even the most elite tanks in the game are going to get massacred, and all enemy saves got jacked to the sky again so CC doesn't work very well. Didn't check out the insta-kill builds.

You bet. The meta is going back to ranged with certainty. We already know what happens when you increase a lot damage: ranged becomes faaaaar more attractive, we saw it in the old EEs.

Well, it looks like you didn't play DDO back in the day, before dungeon scaling, before hirelings, before most people could solo dungeons easily. There was no doing the raids without dedicated healing, it didn't happen. While I am not completed against the complete soloablilty of DDO in it's current form, the original version had a lot to offer. If Reaper mode brings that back, I am excited. Also, it's just an option, there will be no one forcing you to select Reaper mode....

Hey, everyone!

We're going to be bringing Lammania down very shortly in order to update it with a new build. This new build should do three things:

- Resolve the issue where Positive and Repair self-healing was not reduced in Reaper.
- Resolve the issue where Red Named monsters could appear as Champions.
- Replace the Tier 3 Mechanus Champion "Force Guard" buff with "Deathblock".

I will let you know when Lammania is back up. After it comes back up it should remain open until sometime tomorrow Friday 1/13/2017.

I actually didn't mind Red named being champions.

- Replace the Tier 3 Mechanus Champion "Force Guard" buff with "Deathblock".

This is why we can't have nice things. Meanwhile, 14/20 True Sight, no changes.

Oh btw, I cannot kill nor CC Skyborn planed Champions on my Air Savant. Any chance we remove that too?

This is such a shame. One champion and you listened to the forum whiners again. Instead you added yet another mob with deathblock to make the life harder for assassins and instakillers because melees couldn't deal with the fact they can't hit one champion in melee range. Shame.

[Cocomajobo]

Lammania should now be open once again!

Dude, melee lives are hard enough. Simple fix for something silly.

Actually we asked for something similar to be inserted for casters/ranged. But DDO already knows how whiney the caster/ranged community is....

I like how in process of having hard life, they have the time to whine about ranged as well. I would rather see two champions immune to ranged damage added than the one with the guard removed.

See the above. Can say the same about the melee community.

Letting your party members take care of one T3 champion is too hard, yo.

It would be ok if I could actually see the champion names.
But random suicide sucks.

Well, we can

ya if you toggle off global hp values

I agree it should be fixed tbh
