I was gonna jump into those threads about reballancing Epic loot, but the stuff I care about hasn't come up yet. There's no Dwarf Axe conversations going on, and none of the Epic! items are particularly Tempest rangery. I do enjoy hearing about how other people value Epic! loots.
Currently I can't think of ANY epic item that I want enough to farm. So I'm just working on greensteel at the moment.

I am SO SORRY!
Or wherein I totaly noob up Epic VoN6.
It's my first time so the leader of the PuG sets out a bunch of ground rules. Me and the other evasion guys are going to prep the fire base. No problem, I've done this many times before on lesser difficulties. We zone in and buff. Our leader shouts "EVERYONE go to the firebase and take down the Djin!"
This was new to me a Djin? Really? But Every but everyone ran to fire base like it was part of the plan. When we got there the bard cast facinate on the fire elementals. Suddenly, the fire elementals were NOT facinated and they started spewing fire everywhere and people started dying -- FAST!
Now normaly when someone dies I use my pos/pos greensteel to give them a raise dead. But there's so much fire and death going on I decide to the real healers cast True Res so the poor sponges have a chance to survive.
Things go badly, and it looks to me like it's gonna be a TPK, I fail an evasion save and see for the first time how Epic! this firestorm is. 300 HP gone in one shot, leaving me a mere 200 HP away from death.
By this time there's only four survivors and the field is littered with soul stones. The monk was almost dead and the healers were fighting a losing battle to get everyone alive again.
I got hit again, and had to self heal. Now I realize that I can't keep this up forever. I panic, I gotta do something NOW, but what?
I try to remember the plan. The bard will facinate the elementals. Don't hit them. Take down the Djin.
Aha! That's it! The other melee guy is running away from the Djin but I've got my full healthbar back. I toss him some heals but he's still too scared to finish our mission -- take down the Djin!
It's up to me! Only I can save the raid! With my lightning dwarf axe raised in defiance I charge and deftly destroy the devilish djin!
But even after it's dead the fire elementals are still unfacinated and too dangerous for me to hang out with. So I kill them too, or at least die trying.
In retrospect, it was the fault of that other guy for using a shield and dwarf axe and de-facinating all the fire elementals in the first place.
But even so, I should have known better. I should have kept the golden rules of DDO. Don't touch it, don't open it, don't kill it unless you know what you're doing!

Tempest Jackpot!
I got my Tower of Despair ring (Kilau's Band) and pulled a Shimmering Arrowhead on the same day! I pulled the arrowhead on my third Weapons Shipment run, and then my very next quest was ToD where I was the only one to roll on it (I was the only Tempest III).
Now I've got an extra +5 to hit, 1d4 slashing damage with melee weapons and crippling applied to ranged attacks.

Update 9 nerf -- I made my save!
My Dorf Axes are somewhat affected by the nerf but I am so glad I didn't invest on a double shard greensteel Heavy Pick! Best of all, Rangers are only slightly nerfed by increased SP costs for spells they share with casters. I'm not excited about deconstructing yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing less Firewall. Here's to update 9!

FREE TO PLAY FAIL!
I've played this game ever since it went free to play (F2P) I've been rewarded with free Turbine points. I've bought Halls of Shan to Kor, Delera's Tomb, Vault of Night, Gianthold, Vale of Twilight and Devils of Shavrath all without spending so much as a penny of real world money. By Gygax it's been fun! But that's all behind me now I've found something even better. Goodbye DDO F2P, and hellooo DDO P2P!

Plans: True Reincarnate
I'm looking forward to TRing with an odd mix of joy and trepidation. I'm really looking forward to hitting the mid level quests again and getting a break from the High Level content where everything has too many hitpoints, but I also remember how difficult the grind was around level 15, and all the Greensteel I want to farm, and I wonder if I should get another level 20 on Orien before I TR. I'm leaning towards getting a third slot so I can have a lowby favor farmer. I like the lowbie quests and they're quick enough that I can play through when I have a spare moment.

A hat more handsome than my head!
Huzzah! I won a free hat: a Dread Admiral's Hat. I've upgraded Haste IV, +6 Seeker, +15 Jump but the best thing about it is that it transforms my off-white chainmail from drab to fab. The only thing missing is the dreads.
