The hair of the new race 2 or 3 are the same i see on the new race of man Avatar update and the river Hobbits in LOTRO, i tink the same artist have work on dis race... i hope is working as well on revamp the other DDO race to... and i agree with @Strimtom we need an Avatar update to in DDO.
That Mixed Magics feature is actually insane, being able to multiclass casters with a lot less opportunity cost! For better and for worse, also a buff to non-caster Feydark Illusionist builds. Max out those caster levels for those low level spells from like Favored Soul etc.
@@Strimtomwould a gnome work good as well for Pale Master? Ithink they did away with deep gnome cause I did not see it in character creation for the race at all.
Wow, now i see it, been trying to figure it out. ES warlock, there is the immunity bypass. Cast your elemental spell every 10 seconds, preferably a good aoe. Chain in your light spells, watch everything disintegrate around you. Add in visanti daggers, and the arcane warrior feat, and then wild magic for the cherry on top. The synergy…
Kind of. Elves in DND lore basically tend to take on aspects of their environment. So elves that live in the sea become sea elves and elves that live in the forest become wood elves. So Eladrin are just elves that live in the feywild and have their fey nature beefed up a bit. Its kind of like different flavors of Pepsi and Eladrin are Pepsi Max.
Seems to be a take it or leave it for me, just kind of meh about it. Btw, are you going to be posting any of these streams over to your strimstreams channel?
Major in chaos mage, minor in air savant, with air stance will be fun.. with 6 points in Feydark or Harper should yield a 107 or 108 chr on reaper.. yummy. Fully geared out ofc.. looking heavily at this build
there's something funny about the most innately magical elf taking on a martial focus and lacking arcane archer or imbue dice in their racial tree which are kind of the way to thematically push magical power into melee/ranged builds.
They add whatever is easiest. Because they can recycle the Elf / Human / etc model, they save time on recreating new armor art and animations. It sucks, but that's the reason why the game has so many races that look pretty similar.
@@NotSure-e8z to be fair, I don’t think they have a super great budget to work with. It’s only lazy because that’s the type of funding they’re working with
Ngl I didnt expect them to come out with Eladrin... I dont know where i heard it but i thought there was talk about kobold race! Was syked for a possible Kobold Shaman 😂
OH BOY another dex race.... I really wish we could get some STR races (Lizard folk is my vote, just take a kobold's head and staple it to a dragonborne)
Why is there no dragonlance characters, is it not possible to have them in ddo seems there's all other spell jammer forgotten realms etc. Would love caramon or tasslehof.
Krynn was long considered hard-to-reach by spelljammer or even planeswalking... There's also some serious game-mechanism issues, if you think in terms of "original" Krynn (equivalent to AD&D 3.5 _without_ Eberron **at best** ... building AP trees from the ground up to merge Krynn into DDO? Designers being burnt out in droves ... and THEN consider the whole cosmologic basis of the wizard segmentations. YIKES!). Still... would LOVE to see kender, Solamnic knights, and mechanics for post-Cataclysm, pre-War Of The Lance environment conditions!
Honestly, I dont care what new races are added, Im just glad were still getting new and frequent content for such an old game. Yes, it may use old models, but the hair looks cool, and Im excited to play it. Plus, kobolds or gith wouldnt really fit into Myth Drannor imo
The main thing is the theming imo. Like, people voted for Myth Drannor, which is a huge elf ruin in Faerun, so it makes sense we get Eladrin. If we got sigil maybe we could have gotten Gith instead.
Wouldn't Autumn give you up to 39MRR/MRR cap because 5 + 34 character levels (not 8)? Seems like a pretty good defensive option for when you have to take magic damage.
I like them. But honestly kinda disappointed we got another elf. A while ago they had a poll for new races and I’m pretty sure kobolds won. With this being the year of the dragon and such I think getting kobolds would have been flavorful. Give a kobold shaman as An iconic and I think lots of people would have been excited.
To be fair, the poll was in 2017 (which is a while ago, but like 7 years is really far back) and we got dragonborn, which is at least dragon related. I think if the expansion wasn't in a very elf centric area we probably would have gotten something else.
@@Strimtomdon’t sell out to favor SSG. This was a cheap/easy and just another elf race designed instead of giving players something actually new like kobold or Gith etc. at least they gave some new hair options ehh?
@@middleagedgamers7750 I posted this in another thread on this video, but the reality is I don't see any difference between Eladrin and Genasi other than the name. They literally could have left the visuals the same and change references to spring/summer/autumn/winter to air/fire/earth/water and changed nothing else in the design and called it Genasi and people complaining about it being "another elf" would have been quiet. It really doesn't matter to me that it's called an elf or not. It's more about how it looks and how it's designed. I think it's a good addition in that regard. I do wish they'd have called it genasi just to avoid the "another elf" comments from everyone since it's effectively the exact same thing, but it looks like it will be fun to run through some TR's on these.
Its nice that the male elves actually look like Male elves this go around...I might just build one. I H8ed the look of male drow or and other male elf in the game
So, you may answer this later in the video but I'm halfway through and back to work: assuming you get the archetype past life with completion of the iconic past life
I'm about to start my last life for completionist as a sorc. Could you do an update on a powerful sorc build with all of this coming out? Been working on and off for 18 years for this last life. Thank you for your support and content from my favorite game of all time.
Thank you so much for responding in a quick and agreeable fashion. You are a household name here. Wishing you great success and looking forward to your future videos.
@Fububoo - particularly on older / less-advanced hardware under Windows 10/11: close all of your browsers BEFORE starting DDO.

I think... is impossible to do a multiclass caster good... losing high tier spells is to much... if that enhacement also alows that some of u caster class was consider as higher is ur lvl to get new spells too... Like: 4 WM 16 CLERIC Would have tier 9 cleric's spells as if he was lvl 20 cleric.
@@middleagedgamers7750 You can do some fun things with lesser caster classes though (like bard). I honestly think 4 WM/16 bard for stormsingers is going to be the go to. That adds immunity stripping without losing caster levels due to mixed magic and you still get 2 level 6 spells (max for bard). I honestly don't know if you need more than 2 level 6 spells as a stormsinger. Warlocks also get their top level spells at level 16. I'm not sure if it works as well with different primary attributes, but artificers and alchemists get their top level spells at level 15, Paladin and Ranger get theirs at 14. I think people will be finding some interesting multiclass combos with those. Warlocks can benefit a lot from the immunity stripping. The big benefit to the mixed magic feat is for when your wild magic sorcerer is your primary class. It lets you throw two levels of pretty much any other class in without gimping your sorceror spellcasting. You can still use meteor swarm or iceberg and have 2 FVS levels for close wounds, 2 thief or monk levels for evasion, 2 arti levels for rune arms, 2 AOS levels for eldrich chain , 1 wizard for a metamagic feat and added hp available from eldrich warrior/pale master.1 barbarian for movement speed etc. Lots of splash ideas are now on the table for a sorc.

Agreed on the Eladrin looking amazing.
Hair and facial features look like a KMMORPG.
Reminds me of "Lineage."
greater color spray with a softener is gonna feel amazing
Mixed magic AND immunity strip? Holy shit as someone who really prefers ot only play caster, this is so exciting!
I missed the live stream but hearing about mixed magics has me dancing at work
The temporary boost to sneak attack dice seems like it'll have some silly damage potential when combined with the shadowdancer epic strike
High elf
wood elf
Morninglord elf
Eladrin elf
Chaos elf
Drow elf
Another elf was not needed... we got two
