Vish's Book of the Dead

La de da
Ok. Secret. It’s weighted towards magic.
Ok. Need to add MP to items.
That may correct to some degree.
Playing alchemist, magesty in general,
And potency, and equipment, insightful, quality
Spell focus, all 3, spell crit
So much to modify mage damage
And what to modify melee?
DOUBLESTRIKE and melee power
At marginal values.
ESP in heroic.
They add ds, but what items have mp?


Kils wish list
Add 2.5w
Add 50 mrr to 3 upper bodies
Add 10mp back in cores. And cores in all melee trees.
Because no way single target keeps up.
And thf does not measure aoe nukage.

Ok, short buddy story
Another buddy’s afk for awhile, so I’m back to rolling lfm
So intro farming, a pally shows up. Expecting thf, is a bow
We run it once, no drops, I reroll, get a cloak, wis.
Pass it to him since he says he can use it.
Then run it again, and the gloves drop for him. And he passes.
Nice. That’s the buddy system.
The ddo game conspires to pass cross class loot
I’ve seen it many many times
So the more the merrier

And the third story
This one more lengthy, and is standingstonex3
That I began this game as a cleric
And had several raid clerics for shroud raids
Back when the cap was 16
But I never played a dps much
Had some alts, played a bit, up to cap at the time
But was never good at it and always marveled the better melee players
(Oh it was dr breakers and sets. So many weapon sets)
So when I came back second time,
I looked to play dps
So I had one as main tr toon, a cleric and a paladin as alts
But I mostly played tr and learned melee
And geared for it
And learned monk, and became a grandmaster
Drunken tho it may be,
And lacking at times even in the wisdom of monks,
Yet surpassing what I had ever done before
So this third time as it comes before,
There is this art of the magi
I have learned this in cards, from the gathering
(And invoked in the fires of creation)
Yet never have I played for the mage
And now the alchemist
For alchemy is truly of the highest art
To take water and make wine
To take anger and bring forth love
And to lob acid vials to blow up trolls

So this will be the third part of the trek,
To find a magesty, in the elements,
Having already become the void dragon
Much loot I pull hinted a pale master,
And loathe am I to play the dark arts
Yet twisted fey is the way

Hahaha,
Maybe because it’s learned tactical positioning
So now I’m jump casting
Just need more practice with elements,
That’s the third wall, knowing all the monster weakness
From a spell POV
Cuz I never see blue damage as a monk

15-16
Had a late nite and ran some tandem
I’m really enjoying running duo
Can easy do r3 but do r1 cuz learning
Pulled a reaper mythic2 turncoat
And had a mythic1 pan Sophia passed
I thought I had couple, but couldn’t find them
Gonna keep rolling arcs and farm some Sharn
This life has been this week
I usually have an order
But just went with whatever
Fast approaching 20
More spells, learning rotation, learning to use little
That’s the effort really,
As a mage, you soften the tgt s, for the melee to clean up
So that means one aoe, or maybe two, not just spammage till their dead
I mean, you have the capacity,
But as a melee, tgt s evaporating in front of you is frustrating
Much better the melee knows he’s doing needed work,
And not just swinging at air

20
Wow head spinning finished hard and fast
But still a week to 20? Kinda haphazard,
I usually have a pattern
Ran out lvl4 comps and then just went to testing multivial
So many spells, learning rotation
Gonna do this again. Low level inquisi, but pure
Should I make him lawful? A lawful nome?
I run lawful monks. Maybe so,
Law on your side
Will retest at Fred later at 12.
Will be an arcane epic life?
Yep, maybe a couple and farm 30s
Was gonna roll some borderlands.
Looked the loot. Pretty nice for 21,
Good to see they provided a good 3 pc range.
But will farm out over a couple epics, don’t have arcane alacrity
Ya played kinda job days to see the lfm,
And to see heroics again
When hardcore comes back, I’ll start on racials
Or see how it takes to gear a 30 alchy.
I have been surprised the general plethora of loots
Too much and not good enough
Or too good but too many bad choices to mix
Tetris lottery results.
Idk maybe magesty is more clean, I’ll start looking
So that will roll me epics lives, and then there’s for a gnome racial, need 2
So then a gnome a dwarf and a tome for +3
Sitting at 9 now, good for gnome and color spray free
Do I need heighten on an alchemist?
I needed something new to learn. Here we go.
Oh ya, reapers in epics? Nice
