Oh shit!!! DDO just keeps getting cooler :D I haven't been playing lately but will def be logging for these rewards. DRAGON MOUNT. HOLY SHIT THE TUMBLE HAS IFRAMES. AHHHH. SWF melee dps was already my favorite thing and now it'll be even more fun.
Re: Dragon Disciple, keep in mind in 3.5, any class could qualify for prestige classes. They weren't intrinsically tied to one class, like in 5e. So it might be safer to look at the overall feel of the class, which is an unarmed, unarmoured, fighter who has a breath weapon and eventually a dragon-ish apotheosis. Sounds more like a Monk to me. Curious to see if I'm wrong though!
I was always more of an Alchemist player myself; Going darkside and just hammering out damage felt amazing. The lasher was definitely cool but I never pushed too far on it as I just liked alchemist a lot more.
Having the elemental stripping is nice, it'll make Outburst far more viable, as well as a handful of other more niche things. Visage of terror really should always have been linked to intimidate since you're literally scaring your enemies to death so that's a welcome change. Love the tumble change, DDO Souls time it is :D Now just pack your healing elixirs & you've got your estus flasks too.
Please be an obnoxiously huge mount… please be an obnoxiously huge mount! I’m excited for all of these as well, doubly so because it’s also going to be available to f2p folks.
Currently the forums are being pretty harsh on the ranged changes. Hunt's End is losing about 60% of its damage and using an AOE attack with a repeater only fires one bolt and makes the reload even slower. I'm hoping the repeater part will be fixed because right now it feels broken and will simply result in repeater builds removing all AOE attacks from their builds. It's a shame because AOE do seem fun but the nerf price is pretty high. Also I see the new Exalted Angel aura effect as the new hypnotic pattern in some quests and raids. Groups will ask you to not use it.
Seems like they can easily reverse the change since it was "working" before. It might be better to just revert and decrease the damage by a % if using repeater / inquisitive.
Nice to hear bow users are making a comeback! I was not thrilled to see my casters using EA and Draconic were gonna take a huge hit to heals and damage…
You might do 10% more damage with a spell but you will now be spending a few hundred% more time on healing yourself and others. DPS got cratered@@sakarakit5835
i've had my tree up for two or three years. i could pack it up but honestly if i did, that whole wall would just be a wall, it livens things up a bit lol
Im excited about how it seems that ranged will be a lot of fun to play. I've heard from many friends that its kind of bland. However, I hope that they update casters for the better soon. AOE was a big thing about them. And if everyone has it I feel like they will be less special then. Especially when monsters in end game have such high saves and spell resistance. But every time I see notes like this, I feel they just end up nerfing them. At least that's what it feels like to me. I find myself gravitating towards melees more and more XD
question haven’t played ddo in a long time partyed up with some guys today why are they so much faster running and stronger then me is it because i’m a first life or not enough potions or what?
probably past lives and equipment from past lives or other characters, consumables like potions could be a small part of it (and you may want to look into those regardless, they're surprisingly useful) but i'd say it's mostly past lives and gear
Make sonic blast not AE... Makes ARROWS AE. Makes epic strike Draconic Breath should do less damage than level 7 spells and level 12 SLA. These guys are making really dumb decisions lately.
id like to thank this guy for the information.others arent willing t spend their time and energy to give us this. those who insult are a negative vibe! i unfortunatly have to deal with a arse who does this in group.ugh
They entirely changed the way I play effectively making it a different game..doesnt matter if perceived changes are "better" .. if I wanted to a play different game.. id play a different game. The tumble thing sucks. I ike to play extremely mobile characters and tumbling is an extremely integral part of how I play. But thats not how they want me to play the game I pay them for??? Really??? And if they insist on this change it should be balanced better. Should be 1% dodge/rank in tumble like the reflex save . Now i get faster movement for more ranks. With the change a heavy armored character with 1 rank and extra DR already gets the same dodge benefit as a light armored character with 40 ranks.The ranged stuff sucks too. My favorite character is a Ranger HW. Part of the fun/challenge is working around the deficiencies (lack of AOE) but they have been and are continuing to move toward an "everybody can do everything" power gaming mentality. Though fireball arrow does fit the flavor of an AA I suppose. And if you really want AOE on a bow character you can go deeper into Vistani for fan of knives which scales with RP and works well. I hate the epic strike changes.. once again screws the way I like to play my characters .. again doesn't matter if its percieved as "better" Iwould rather see them fix the stuff that already doesnt work than completely alter the game for me.
"Good morning everybody. I'm the guy that didn't post his Artificer build yet"
Possibly the best intro to date.
Oh shit!!! DDO just keeps getting cooler :D
I haven't been playing lately but will def be logging for these rewards. DRAGON MOUNT.

Thanks for the update! Starting to feel the itch again.
Was just going to post the same thing! Stepped away a couple of years ago and thinking about coming back.

The ability to cast arcane spells without preparation and 8 ranks of knowledge arcana are prerequisites.
Would love to see Monk getting an archetype but I'll be surprised if it's not Sorc.
I came here to say that you having a Christmas tree up in February is awesome and we all should do it.
Mine comes down the day after Christmas.
Gosh darn now we just need diagonal dodges!
Hola, un saludo desde Colombia; siento mucha admiración por tu trabajo, sigue así!!
going back towards the old "if they don't hit you they don't do damage" mode we used to have
Turbines range human class in asheron's call 2 was crazy fun.
I was always more of an Alchemist player myself; Going darkside and just hammering out damage felt amazing. The lasher was definitely cool but I never pushed too far on it as I just liked alchemist a lot more.
Nice video, I love your energy :)
Yup, very positive outlook... skipped right over the glaring nerfs. 😂
Great Vid, thank you.
Imagine if Dragon Disciple ends up being an EK replacement for sorc focused on unarmed and breath weapons

Everything looks great!

Still no Kobold race or pointy red Gnome hats! Also Gun Mage now!!!
I'm guessing that [Feb 2025] Dragon Disciple Archetype will be for sorceror or wizard.
Great review as always

That low-cut T is making you look like Jeffrey Jones in Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Tnx ST
Holy crap visage based on intimidate!? Makes sure you get the coffee from the anniversary event!!!!!!!

Ranged characters used to be 8 times weaker than sorcs. Thanks to these changes they are only 4 times worse than sorcs.
Skill isue
Nah this is a nerf to ranged. Idgaf about aoe if it means I lose the best damage option.
Sorc is 4 times weaker than alchemist tho
I despise all of their changes as well. Completely screwed how I like to play
@@xlatheblackdragon705I’ll drink to that 🍻 😅
thanks again!
Nice to hear bow users are making a comeback! I was not thrilled to see my casters using EA and Draconic were gonna take a huge hit to heals and damage…
Yeah, the parade of caster nerfs is getting old.
but apparently according to this guy, specifically at 13:24 - "Exhalted Angel is a lot more powerful now."
You might do 10% more damage with a spell but you will now be spending a few hundred% more time on healing yourself and others. DPS got cratered@@sakarakit5835
I just can't believe this guy still has his Xmas tree up. Like dude, take a 30 minute break from DDO, and pack that up!
It's still cold, dark, and colourless up here in Canada so the tree stays up to ward it off
@@Strimtom Now now guy, I live in southern Ontario, its actually pretty nice out.
i've had my tree up for two or three years. i could pack it up but honestly if i did, that whole wall would just be a wall, it livens things up a bit lol
so much free stuff

What are they Dragon?

are you using a 3rd party app or something to make your game look lot better?
Why don't you do a video on how broken adrenaline surge is so they nerf that too?
Nerfed hunt’s end… lol c’mon 🤣
Godsend. They need more people catching bugs.
Draconic Incarnation is being nerfed, not buffed.
Make sonic blast not AE... Makes ARROWS AE.
Makes epic strike Draconic Breath should do less damage than level 7 spells and level 12 SLA.
These guys are making really dumb decisions lately.
Another absolute BANGER from the man known as Strimtom.
id like to thank this guy for the information.others arent willing t spend their time and energy to give us this. those who insult are a negative vibe! i unfortunatly have to deal with a arse who does this in group.ugh
"Exalted angel is much better now" *raises eyebrow*

So another nerf to ranged 😂😂😂
