Dragontouched leather armor

Looking forward to TR and some new adventure packs, I'm thinking of getting some leather Dragon touched armor because it works with Evasion and Dex in the mid 20s. The other options are the robe and outfit DT, but those only excell for Dwarves with more than 34 Dex.
Originaly I was gonna skip DT for some other content, but I hear that soon we'll be able to customise the colors on DT, and that makes DT very attractive. No pun intended.

Epic! VoN

I got epic debuffs. I wear the plate of destruction from HoX. It makes it so that anyone who attacks me gets -4 AC. Then I hit em with my Improved destruction for -8 AC that stacks. In my off hand I have an Improved Curse / Shattermantle to mess up their saves.

Those are all good and I love em for epics. But after they're proced, I'm not sure what to do next. I've got some Tenderizers that stun the mobs, but they never ever work against the red names as far as I can tell. I have an Improved Roaring that hits, but doesn't last very long. I also have some puncturing and other stat drainers, but they hit the Epic! debuffing limit pretty quick.

Not sure what to do next, I've got about 30 larges but I'm not sure what to craft. I feel ok with my current build, but I'm looking foward to TRing and getting rogue skills with the extra points.

New char: Twinkyzerger

So I've named my Turbine Point farmer "Twinkyzerger" in hopes of attracting vet TRs who want to escape Korthos ASAP. If nothing else, it will scare away the noobs who hate me and my 60,000 plat worth of twinky gear:

+1 Pure Good greataxe of flames. Only a tiny bit better than the starter axe.

+2 Adamantium Full Plate. This is great because so much Korthos stuff only hits for 3 points of damage but still interupts opening doors and pulling levers.

+3 returning throwing axe. For slimes. I don't want those grey oozes anywhere near my gear.

70 cure light wounds. I don't use them that often on the Korthos stuff, but I often get sidetracked by some group doing a higher level quest that I fondly remember and need heals for.

The Epic content in DDO is on sale.

So I've been enjoying running around as a level 20 ranger with a two level fighter dip, but I've got no Epic content. I've been finishing off the last couple of points of favor to buy Vale of Night when suddenly... there's a sale on VoN!!!

Now my only hope of snagging that sweet sweet 25% discount is somehow getting the last 75 turbine points before the sale ends. I've been speed-running Korthos for TP, but I don't think I can make it at this rate. The other option is to grind four points of favor on my Wizard, but whenever I log in Sarlona is dead dead dead, and anyway that character has already done leet for everything in sight.

It's gonna be realy close either way.

Free to play and Level 20

My free to play character is level 20 and lovin it! :D

He's a Dwarf Tempest III Ranger 18 / Fighter 2 specializing in Dwarf Axes and heavy armor. Currently I'm wearing Plate of the Defender from VoD. It's mithral and a perfect fit for my current Dex. Soon I hope to get Tharne's Bracers and then I'll use fighter and dwarf enhancements to accomidate the extra AC.

Anyway, I'd like to say thanks to Turbine and the Defenders Guild. This is some of the best Videogaming Ive ever had. :D

New character! :)

I've installed the high resolution DDO pack. Everything looks the same, except better! I notice it most in the buffs.

Anyway, this new character is my fifth rogue. First one I didn't enjoy playing. Second one had an awesome randomly generated face but didn't qualify for Tempest . The next two had sub-awesome faces. But the fifth time is the charm!

I'm enjoying the playstyle. The ability to wand-whip and fight reminds me of my paladin. Oh! And the ability to shoot stuff at long range is quite the eye-opener. It's fun to run towards my target shooting my bow and killing the target before I get there. :)

Long term plan is to take rogue all the way and enjoy being a jack of all trades master of none.

Buggy enhancements kill character :(

UPDATE: It was the fault of the Turbine Updater. Turbine fixed the bug. All is well :)

My character is bugged. I've stopped playing him until Turbine fixes the bug.

The problem is that the Spellsinger enhancement class isn't available. Not that I haven't met a prereq or something. Spellsinger doesn't exist as far as my character is concerned. The other bard prestige classes (virtuoso and warchanter) show up on the list as unavailable but the Spellsinger prestige class is missing completely. :(

I've submitted some bug reports but I doubt that Turbine will ever fix it. DDO seems like a good game but one where the bugs are fixed infrequently (if ever!) I mean, I do enjoy DDO but I've never played a buggier game and this latest update has made the game less stable for me. I get crashes from solid fog now (a bug since day one) and there's lag in the harbor. The ice games got closed for bugs, and so on.

I hope that it's just Turbine getting back into the swing of things but to be honest it's shaken my long term hopes for DDO.
