Farwind: An Air savant Endgame EE DPS Build

[Michele]

I also just read your build Nice way of skyrocketing numbers.

I'll show you how mine skyrockets as well:

523 Electric
+30 Action boost
+50 Draconic Fury
+25 Eardweller
+25 Electrocution
+20 Empyrean Magic
+24 Meridian Fragment

OMG I suddenly have 697 SPELL POWER SORCERES OP MUST NERF

Lightning bolt SLA crappy Go back to your druid, I appreaciate your good luck suggestion tho, it was a good one.

Oh wait, with Good luck I have 699 Spell power, will take Epic skill focus: spellcraft to go above 702.

you are without hope...

Can we see some YouTube videos of your toon in action?

[Wizza]

Eardweller and meridian fragment don't stack because they are both psionic bonus. Don't you think a bit stupid when you send these kind of messages?

That's right, then why did you ask me if I can keep meridian fragment up? I can just use Eardweller

Sorry, back to 670 SP Build sucks, must take Epic skill focus: spellcraft

your build is good. it doesn't suck at all (but it can be improved).

In my build I calculated separately "sustainable" spell power and "not sustainable" spell power: the 670 spell power that you wrote is not sustainable at all.

for example eardweller recharges 1 use per rest, and I don't believe that when you are soloing "what goes up" your are able to being hit so much to keep 24 psionic spell power sustainable and stay alive.

Draconic fury is not sustainable (4 minutes cooldown and has a 20 seconds duration), however I could find useful before casting energy burst + dragon breath at the beginning of a boss fight.

All the 'improvements' you listed so far have some severe drawbacks that you simply seem to ignore.
Spellpower is important, but not everything.
Blue dragon set...sure I have that, still won't wear it because that directly loses 1-3 DCs.
Landing and not landing your spell DCs can be huge (50% loss not landing your Evocation DC, another 80% not landing your enchant for helpless damage).
5 spellpower in exchange for Hellball... Hellball is one of the best spells in the game.

Bladeforged - lol, no elemental form, awesome, there goes another 20 spellpower, caster levels and 2% crit. chance and 1 charisma.

I said bladeforged because in order to survive in fleshy form I would waste much things (fey form instead of cocoon, items to increase healing amplification, and a lot of other stuff).
However nothing prevents a bladeforged to transform in elemental form in less dangerous situations (for example in a group that takes care of front line defense while you are back spamming your spells in elemental form). You can switch between bladeforged and elemental form based on situations.

Jergall is a sorcerer in my guild on Cannith who is able to crowd control 95% of times with his bladeforged and equipping the blue dragon set; he also have no problems with evocation DC. and he is building a bladeforged fire savant with more than 200 prr with divine crusader main epic destiny. If he can, then everyone can.

Please can you tell me how hellball is one of the best spells in the game? A lot of people say that but I still can't find how it is good.
Let's say that I did some tests with 600 cold spell power (what spell power uses hellball? different spell power for each element? or the highest spellpower?):
1) I stepped in epic elite black loch and pulled an hobgoblin;
2) I debuffed him heavily (evocation spell augmentation -10 reflex, mantle of the icy soul, solid fog green steel clicky), so let's say that hellball DC was 79 (assuming that the dc is the same of energy burst);
3) Oh wait, I just read that hellball DC is 20 + caster stat modifier (please tell me that it's not true!), what DC do you reach? (Farwind would reach 46 dc with his 62 charisma... ).
4) At last I cast 3 hellballs to kill that stupid hobgoblin (3 hellballs to kill 1 hobgoblin?).

Please teach me how to use hellball because I also think that +5 epic skill focus spellcraft is lame for a level 28 feat, but I can't find a better offensive level 28 feat for a dps caster.
Read this thread about hellball: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...eats-HellBall?

Do we want to speak about Ruin spell? I made tests with Ruin spell and it's dealing 5k damage on critical (I'm not force specced though). To tell the truth I prefer +1 charisma. I find difficult that a sorcerer needs Ruin with all the spells he has at disposal. If you are afraid that you don't have enough DC for your spells, then don't take Ruin instead of +1 charisma lol. If you are thinking about Ruin damage numbers on helpless mobs, remember that bosses can't be made helpless.

Another thing: when you cast an energy burst, or dragon breath, or energy vortex, the only things that matter are spell power and caster level.

Please, can you make a test for me?
Jergall said that energy burst and dragon breath cap at level 39: can you check if it's true?
A sorcerer with the abishai set and arcane augmentation IX should have a caster level a lot higher than 39.
If you decide to make the test, consider that "draconic spell knowledge" increase the caster level of dragon breath, but not of energy burst; Abishai set increase the caster level of energy burst, but not dragon breath (at least it's what combat log says when I'm equipping the abishai set, even if I have the impression that my dragon breath deal more damage then energy burst when equipping abishai set and only 1 point of draconic spell knowledge).

Make your target helpess first.

I can only show you old videos when I was a wisdom based pure druid in shiradi destiny.

Now I'm running an intelligence based druid 17 / water savant 3 in draconic destiny, its dps is increased a lot, but I don't have any videos of my new build.

If you still want to see my old videos, go to this link: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthrea...itan-Ice-Druid

However I don't know why you want to compare a druid with a sorcerer...
