Thanks for reminding me about the revels. I had just enough to get an Apple. I've been piling up tons of death ward potions since chocolate was flowing earlier while farming the Rune Arms.
@AygnusMacGyverDDO I considered going for them but their big draw, ghostly, I have on gear at both levels so I prefer the craftable rune arms I use which are good box breakers and have the spellpower for the imbue
The Skullduggery Cap can be into an epic version and a legendary version. The epic one is superior to the Dusk Heart because the Dusk Heart lasts 15 minutes per charge. and yet the Epic Skullduggery Cap lasts for 20 minutes per charge. This one item has basically invalidated every other source of Deathward outside of a party member.
Yes it's a hell of an item especially in the hands of an arti for the extra duration. The only reason i don't have the epic version is i use the epic duskheart already and have a heroic & legendary cap. How did you find the inquis down in the lower levels? The arti performs surprisingly well down there and the full DS of course makes any early aoe hit harder. I'm enjoying the new one on that short CD from your inquis tree - and i suspect the inquis may be dipping into ours now for more aoe if they were not doing already :)
@@airedaleone5542 Still not played Inquisitive in early heroics, been on the new server running the event as a pure Arti lol. Once I get what I am after from the event or if I run out of time (whichever arrives first) then I will be going back to my home server and continuing on.
@@owenhill5668 Oh, great :) How are you finding it there? I'd be chasing the sabre cat if i had access - i'm a sucker for big cats :) If doing the HC version i guess you'll get some mileage out of the RM tree - i was surprised just how survivable that made me when i played around with it at cap, though i typically use BE T5. Good hunting over there - hope you find what you're looking for!
@@airedaleone5542 Not running the HC version it's just not my thing at all. Overall it is slow going and borderline painful honestly. The lag has been off the charts bad and Mist Stalkers hit insanely hard at low levels (I got one shotted in Heytons Rest in Korthos, literally the first quest I ran). I am now level 8 and level 6 with 2 toons and doing much better now. I am after the mount also and my other toon is getting the cosmetic pet of a lantern but it is the mount I want the most.
@@owenhill5668 You have that in common with me re HC - the walking on eggshells approach would not do anything for my nerves at all :) Really sorry to hear re lag though i suspect the server population there is 2x or more what the max is on any standard server (heard it was up towards 1k) so there is that. Also heard that unlike our servers, this new one will provide decent feedback for the devs on where bottlenecks are so here's hoping... Ouch @ Mist stalker - sounds a little like the OP mimics that crushed us all with their dots when the event first began - sounds like things are moving in the right direction for you now anyway so go get that cat :)
Hi there, if you're looking for an arti past life i'd definitely try full arti as opposed to inquisitive. You can find a very decent build thread for that here - docs.google.com/document/d/1_Y6HMouTqgyBZTFUDsw7dQAuCYSFweEDovkkC1H3Kcs/edit?tab=t.0 . If you are set on doing arti as an inquisitive split instead, have a look at this thread for some build ideas - forums.ddo.com/index.php?threads/the-ultimate-inquisitive-past-life-getter.3101/ . If you plan on investing points into the gnome racial tree remember to go light crossbows only as their enhancements don't work for the heavy ones.
@rjh7101 You don't feel the rate of fire difference?? In terms of what difficulty mine could complete before and after the change its very similar, but I have felt and needed to adjust to the slower rate of fire
Thanks for your thoughts on the matter!
You're welcome Doc - you said you'd not done much with the event this time so maybe there are one or two possibilities in there for you :)

I'm not feeling the change to crossbow at all
