When I first started playing DDO, back in 2010, my main character was Fyrne. And I had plans to get him to Completionist, then triple completionist. Then I created an alt, who I named Hymm. He was my first monk character. And I loved him. The monk was so much fun, I started playing more lives as Hymm. And at some point in 2013 (judging by this blog) I had decided that he would be my triple completionist.

I’m now on my last Alchemist life, just 3 levels to go before an Iconic TR and triple completionist!
Continue readingAs I mentioned in a previous post, my Warlock Othala needs some changes. I would like to keep him as a Warlock, and capped, so I have someone I can pull out for guild epic/legendary raids on a weekend that I a) enjoy playing b) is useful. So I intend to Epic Reincarnate now he’s hit level 30 to correct some areas. But not necessarily straight away – I want to spend some time trying to gather gear.
This is his 3rd life, the previous lives being Artificer & Sorcerer. He is a Fey Pact Warlock and I use the Utterdark Blast to set his damage as sonic & evil. I already know I’ve made a mistake by not putting skill points into perform to increase his sonic spellpower {facepalm} so that’s one thing I will address with his epic TR. But I’d like to know if anybody has any other suggestions.

I’ve blogged about playing Warlock a few times now. Hymm has done 2 lives, 1 melee and one pure caster. I enjoyed the pure Warlock build so much I turned Othala into one. He is currently sitting at level 27 and will be staying as a Warlock for the foreseeable future.
So, I’ve started doing something I don’t normally do – start working out how I can make him as effective as possible and what gear I need to get him.

Everyone who plays DDO will know that this week the Shadowfell Conspiracy expansion pack was released. There has been happiness, anger, ranting.. all over the place – twitter, the forums etc.. Here’s my thoughts so far.

Wylle Eckerslike – that’s my cleric.
Firstly, the name… well that’s a joke and to be honest, unless you have an idea of northern UK dialect, it would take way too long to explain. Suffice to say, the name Wylle has had several jokes & comments made about it. “Let’s play with your Wylle”, “Come here so I can touch your Wylle” (that was for a Masters Touch) etc etc. Yes, my guildies are all pervs – that’s why I get on with them so well 😀
Anybody who has read my blogs in the past will know that a few months ago I started playing on Orien twice a week, helping Micki with her TR’d monk, Maidae. That was back in November, checking my blog history 🙂

One of my guild mates has TR’d into what will be rogue 18/monk 2 build.
So is he a ronk or a mogue?
Spent several hours laughing about that last night while running around the harbour 🙂
That’s what I spent most of the weekend lookng at. Why? Because I spent most of my play time this weekend running around with my new druid character in bear form 🙂
I’ve gone half orc with the intention of building him as a tank character. My first tank build actually. While running harbour missions I could just imagine the kobolds screaming ‘there’s a bear in the sewers!!’.
But I had loads of fun running around with my partner and another guildie with their new druid characters once they decided to try the bear form too. At one point last night there were three bears running around the catacombs decimating skeletons left & right.
I suspect they will be nerfed at some point. With three druids in a party, each with a wolf companion & a summons, we seem to be getting through quests very easily. But for now, I shall continue to enjoy the rampage 🙂
See you around!
So, reading the latest blogs by Samius has reminded me of something.
I have a level 20 artificer, Othala, who I think may actually be my favourite character. I know everyone says arties don’t do good damage, but I’m seeing decent numbers off him, and lots of them. I also seem to have picked up quite a few good rune arms. My most used are Glorious Obscenity and Lucid Dreams.
What I haven’t done is taken advantage of the crafting. So, while I will be researching this myself – does anybody out there have any suggestions of what’s best to add to a rune arm? As I understand it, once it’s on there, it cannot some off, so I guess I need to choose wisely!
