Total Past Life Benefits

[h46av8r]

I am currently working my toward uber completionist – probably still about a year out... But I was wondering if I could find a list of all the benefits you get as an uber completionist. The closest I could find was this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ddo/comment...ath_do_i_have/ It’s very good but a couple years old now. So I figured I’d update it and post to the forums - here’s what you get for 183 past lives. This is just the passives – of course you also get to turn on four epic destiny active past life feats and one iconic active past life feat. This list includes both Heroic Completionist (since it is now auto-granted at level 3) and Racial Completionist. Note the additions to skills, saves and DCs below do NOT include the benefits from the additional ability scores, so effectively the uppers to skills, saves and DCs are another +3 or so higher than those listed.

Abilities:
+5 Str
+8 Dex
+6 Con
+6 Int
+6 Wis
+7 Cha

+14 Racial Enhancement Action Points

Does this include the iconic stances?

On a side note what was the point of making the iconic past lives stances? Just so they would be worse?

And like the true the shoot from hip cowboy I replied before reading the WHOLE post hahahahaha soz

Since only 1 can be active at a time, by definition they can't stack, so hard to list (except as "options").

+45 Positive Healing Amplification

60 total; you're missing one of the +15s, likely either blessing (because it's a stance) or SF PLs, which means doubling up on PLD PLs and thus isn't strictly required for completionist. It's hard to say no to more Hamp; I definitely can't -- it's on my short list of PLs to get first.

Above list is for passives only. You certainly could choose Ancient Blessing as one of your active stances for more healing amp of course.

Some of you missed the OP where he said nothing on his list includes the possible active bonuses for either epic or iconic past lives.

Nicely done, thank you. +1

Just for an alternative, I am going to add the effect of having a +8 Sumpreme Tome and all +3 skill tomes.

I believe last year during the Hardcore season ability tomes were on sale at a tempting price.
I assume a player doing this many past lives might invest in a supreme tome deeply discounted in the DDO store and farm out skill tomes via sagas.
I am going to assume UMD would be very hard to find except in the DDO store and will therefore exclude UMD skill tomes.



At level 22 and higher with +8 Sumpreme Tome, +3 Skill Tomes via Sagas, and Guild Buffs not included

Abilities:
+5 Str +8 = +13 [assuming +6 to Str skills]
+8 Dex +8 = + 16 [assuming +8 to Dex skills]
+6 Con +8 = +14 [assuming +7 to Con skills]
+6 Int +8 = +14 [assuming +7 to Int skills]
+6 Wis +8 = +14 [assuming +7 to Wis skills]
+7 Cha +8 = +15 [assuming +7 to Cha skills]

Action Points:
+14 Racial Enhancement Action Points
+9 Permanent Epic Destiny Points (5 from ED PLs + 4X Epic Completionist)

Skills:
{at level 22+ with a possible +2 more if one buys all skills tome from DDO store instead of farming sagas}
{+3 Skill tomes apply by level 3, so this effect is quickly acquired compared to the ability tomes}
+5 Balance +3 tome, +8 Dex = +16
+4 Bluff +3 tome, +7 Cha = +14
+4 Concentration +3 tome, +7 Con = +14
+5 Diplomacy +3 tome, +7 Cha = +15
+7 Disable Device +3 tome, + 7 Int = +17
+5 Haggle +3 tome, +7 Cha = +15

+6 UMD +0 tome, + 7 Cha = +13

Defensive:
+66 HP (at level 1, increases to 210 as you level, plus additional 34 from Epic Destiny points) [+14 Con for 32*7= 224 extra hit points at level 32]

+45 PRR
+21 MRR

+6 Saves vs Enchantments and Illusions [at level 22+ -- +14 Wis = +13 Saves vs Will based Enchantments and Illusions]

Spells:
+180 Spell Points (plus additional 17 from Epic Destiny points) [Your casting ability grants you a number of bonus spell points equal to (caster level + 9) * (casting ability modifier). This number would vary greatly, but assume a good size net positive amount.]
+24 Positive Spell Power [assuming a net change in the Heal skill from +5 to +15 this number should increase by 10 or 19 depending upon initial calculations]
+15 Fire, Lightning, Sonic, Acid, Poison, Negative Spell Power [assuming a net change in the Spellcraft skill from +9 to +19 this number should increase by 10 or 19 depending on initial calculations]
+3 DCs - Illusion, Evocation, Conjuration, Transmutation [assuming these do not include an Stat changes, the average caster ability DC increase would be +7 for a total of +10 DCs - Illusion, Evocation, Conjuration, Transmutations with +7 to all other schools of magic.

+6 Caster Levels for Turning
+6 Summons and Hirelings Abilities

Looking over the numbers, it is interesting to note that a new player with a 3rd life toon who spends DDO points to purchase a +8 supreme tome along with batches of +5 skill tomes could rival an existing player with all the past lives but zero tomes purchased as far as stats are concerned. Obviously, this game is about knowledge and such a player would get lost in the first wilderness they stumbled into...

It is interesting that the Developers seem to be balancing purchasable power with earnable in-game power.
Although, one could easily argue that I should be comparing my post with Skill tomes farmed at +3 to Skill tomes purchased at +5 instead of defaulting to +0 Skill tomes farmed vs +5 Skill tomes purchased.

This change would alter the above post in several ways including:

Skills:
+3 Balance
+1 Bluff
+1 Concentration
+2 Diplomacy
+4 Disable Device
+2 Haggle
+2 Heal
+3 Hide
+2 Intimidate
+0 Jump
+1 Listen
+3 Move Silently
+2 Open Lock
+1 Perform
+2 Repair
+5 Search
+6 Spellcraft
+3 Spot
+0 Swim
+3 Tumble
-3 UMD

As well as increasing a few numbers such as Spellpower by 3.

+26 Positive Spell Power [when you include the Heal skill bonuses]
+18 Fire, Lightning, Sonic, Acid, Poison, Negative Spell Power [when you include Spellcraft bonus]

Corrected UMD above from +6 to +8 (+3 arti + 1 gnome +2 racial completionist +2 heroic completionist)- credit goes to Glass_Jaws

You forgot about one thing when having uber completionist. You may won DDO but you surely lost your life ;p
