January: Static Group Tuesdays

It looks fine. Id still consider a 2 hander for DPS and a fallback of S&B if you get hit too much.

For Jett: Focusing on initimidate you need to get used to blocking lots. Take the armour dex and tower shield dex proficiencies and look for good sets of Mithril FP (its in the medium armour section) and decent Mithril Tower shields. With a Dex of 16 right now my dorf intimitank has an AC of 39. and i can push it to around 42 and can soak around 18 damage per hit when blocking. Then you have the fairly boring job of intimidating, blocking and letting everyone else kill the mobs around you. This is great when you stand at a door and allow the casters to nuke unharmed.

Cheers Zed. I shall be heading that way. Dex is only 14 at the moment though...

Septian a couple of thoughts

SKILLS
Most of your casting will be out of combat and even when in combat damage focus will normally be on Jett, so with that in mind you do not need points in Concentration IMO.

Heal is another skill that will have limited use for you. Although it does help getting bodies off the floor if there is no spell points, wand use will be a more reliable option for you. It also increases the HP you heal at rest but if Ommz is stood at the shrine I would expect (he can correct me if I am wrong) his to be higher and IIRC it will override yours not combine.

Balance is a skill that you will likely need to take cross-class max as not being on your arse is most beneficial.

UMD may also be a thought from here on in.

FEATS

Maybe something like this?

1 Force of Personality, WpnF-Slashing
3 Toughness
6 Power Attack
9 ImpCrit-Slash
12 Stunning Blow
15 THF,Cleave (?)
18 ITHF,Greater Cleave (?)

On Power Critical- you will have more than enough hit bonus to confirm crits come mid-level. It's a feat that I have never seen much use in to be honest in DDO.

I've only ever had one Paladin though and he's stuck at about 6th level, good fun though.

 

[Septian]

Looks good to me mate! I'll have a look properly when i get home. I'll see if i can get sept a 2 hander too

 

[UKJett]

I shall stand in the doorway with my trusty tree strapped on my arm..."none shall pass..."

...except moles maybe...

 

[Zed]

Or teleporting Orthons

 

[UKJett]

OK quicky question on loot in chests... I am sure Ommy told me this before but I have forgotten.

Is there a way to reset the loot in the chest so that another member of the Adventuring Company can loot?

Some of the loot which was assigned to my character was things like mage scrolls or spell components, which are of no use to a fighter (even with UMD).

So rather than looting the lot and then trying to suss out who would need which item is there a way I can do this via the loot screen and select another person?

 

[Zed]

there is a little arrow next to your name. clicking on that allows you to select any other group member and assign that piece of loot to them.

 

[Septian]

Ahh! Brill, I wanted to know that too

 

[UKJett]

Wonderful..ta matey

 

[Omzig]

about healing skill, I dont rate it.
With the few points i do get per lvl, they are curently going into concentration and UMD.

 

[Zed]

RemindeR: meet at the tavern in Korthos for session #2. pick up the wilderness quests as well and we will run them all on Hard / Elite then hopefully finish off with something from the Harbour

 

[Septian]

Sounds good mate

 

[Sorontar]

I'll wait until we have finished Misery's Peak Elite before I write up Korthos Island - I'll be sure to put in Skar's tumble from the cliff top though from the first session

I've got a nice screenie of Misery's Peak for that quest.

 

[UKJett]

I'll be there at 7:30 matey.
