I plan on getting into reapers with my next TR (bard/fighter/cleric). Seeing you do reaper 1-2 with 300 hp at 20 make me realize I have a lot of road to cover with skill at this game. Love the videos you put out and keep up the good work :D.

[@destrmeow7220]

That looks like a ton of fun, still on my first character and I've played for like 3 weeks level 16 now. Cant wait to reincarnate to try fun stuff like this.

Clr and fvs hirlings r powerful on dps to R1 mobs now

With the spell changes mixing things up, I'd recommend looking at alchemist again - but go with apothecary - the inflict wounds admixtures use the same damage dice as the newly revamped spells & the tier 5 master apothecary enhancement "You have no Max Caster Level with Curative Admixtures and any Gildleaf Alchemist Spells" applies to the inflict admixtures too, meaning even that humble little tier 1 inflict light wounds admixture SLA for only 2sp has a significant kick - at cap, without ideal optimisation I'm hitting for 1200 or so & critting for about 3300 with it. The inflict serious & inflict critical are even higher. Against things that are immune, the other yellow elemental spells, arcane pulse, energy burst etc. generally do the job & theres a load of good crowd control there too.

[@Theimbued]

Liking the look of this build. One thing I've noticed on your forum post is that the skill distribution for each level doesn't show in which skills you have put the points. Any advice on that?

[@Strimtom]

The skills are barely relevant. Heal and spellcraft are easy choices since they will minorly increase your spell effects.

[@pointyendproductions4230]

I wonder if you might have found some success with Feydark Illusionist to lock a group of mobs so they could be more easily hit with Flamestrike and Firestorm.

[@serpentsaurus7969]

Started this build today!

[@thomasbouton6763]

Bad @ss vid was waiting for this one ran with you an holy on thisisnice was epic keep up the good work!

[@carpathian677]

Think a wood elf tempest ranger a good tr character? With scimitars or kopesh. Used to love running them back in the day, I still have 3 left from back in the day but now retired to bank duty =)

Am looking for a good tank cleric build, am currently going through a barbarian life and am planning to go into a cleric, but I can't find an updated cleric tank build any chance you could point me in a good direction?

[@darschpugs4690]

YES! 6 con rocks! I do this all the time hahhaa

[@Kbaker0407]

I know this is an older build, but they've since changed the trees so what would you suggest in place of the extra turning that is no longer in the tree?

[@Strimtom]

Anything is fine. You could take the positive healing critical multiplier, which is what I would do.

[@fakietrain5356]

Is there a way to make a tank cleric a best cleric again

[@tehw000000t]

What music did you use at the end?

Thank you!

Health isn't damage Damage is damage don't need health to damage I can breathe I can fight

[@animaterob]

So it doesn't have to be a drow? Any other races recommended?

[@Strimtom]

I went with drow because I was voted to play one, any race that doesn't have a negative wisdom or charisma is good.

[@hyp3rion_]

Any benefit to milticlass cleric with FS? 18/2? 16/4?

[@Strimtom]

Not really. The favoured soul bonuses don't really work with cleric spells, except for the crit.

[@hyp3rion_]

@@Strimtom okay, I see. Asking because saw 15cleric\4fs\1wiz (because deep gnome) unbongwah's build thread there. T4 Intense Faith in Angel of Vengeance gives +3 Casters Levels for Fire, Force, Light, and Physical spells, some how compensating Cleric Levels drop. Than Just reward for free points, and Scourge for Spell Power, and +8% crit chance. Also was wondering about Robot race for cleric, because of pre Fey expansion , Feywild Dreamer set with docent giving 15% exceptional crit chance and 30 exceptional SP, and set bonus 10% Artifact Crit chance. Looks like can pop crit chance of light spells very high with Legendary Resplendant Fury orb, which gives +18 ins crit chance to all above + Empyrean Magic. Looks like 90+ chance. Was thinking of 15cleric\4fs1\1pal BF to try this out. www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/490080-Adventures-in-Theorycrafting-Messing-with-Domains?p=6023966&viewfull=1#post6023966

You can pick your target of implosion. The trick to select someone was too whack them with a scepter.

[@robzombiex8422]

Any good druid bear build?

[@robzombiex8422]

@Doodle thx :)

[@flute136]

@@robzombiex8422 there is many builds. usually barb splits outperform any other split but the higher lvl druid ones are fun! i did 13druid6barb1fvs and the leveling was way more fun then my last 9druid7rogue5barb split. but honestly the 7rogue out dpsed the 13/6/1. there is a really cool 9druid8fighter3monk centered great axe build that has 3 auto crits. i am gonna do that one next i think

[@carpathian677]

Did these buff benefit the FVS?

[@JahanMisra]

yep playing one right now and it’s very powerful

[@Strimtom]

Yes this works on both cleric and FVS

[@piercesg]

@@Strimtom Since domains aren't a thing for FvS, would a Necromancy FvS work or it would be better to go Evocation AoV for FVS instead? (If running for a caster FVS)

What is that UI skin?
