i love all these builds you come up with. I personally play with friends who dont want to do reapers so we only play on elites. So it sounds like this would work well to try out on my next character
The trend of doing reapers only can be a pain sometimes, it can be nice to run elites :)
@@bodypopping i enjoy it and its not as stressful on my hands especially after my surgery
@@bodypopping I usually run reapers to level (1-skull only, though) and found that once you get enough reaper points, R1 is easier than Elite, anyway.
But every life, once I hit level 20, I go do the level 19 quests (Inspired Quarter, Amrath, Cannith) on Elite as a sort of victory lap. Nice and easy.
is anyone else getting the error "We are currently undergoing maintenance" when clicking on the build link?
Love it! Combines my compulsion to be able to trap with my fear of not getting heals from my hirelings 😛
I just started a rogue and multiclassed into wizard as one of my first toons to try and make a spellthief sort of feel. We'll see how it pans outs. I'm only just trying this out after finally diving into TTDnD after a while away.
i have this build but I went warlock for the 30 percent crit damage and tentacles as well as being more hearty. It actually slaps pretty hard.
Thanks for the video. I would love to see your take on an MM spammer with the new changes to archmage.
Someone asked me to help them with a build on stream so I'm taking a crack at it this week I think
Hi and thank you for all the builds and commentary. Have you/ could you do a Great Xbow build that maxes crit range and damage, but also has highest minimum damage for vs no-crit mobs? Tyvm!
That was vague of me; I have seen your Pure 20 Rogue and 2 Artificer 2/ Rogue 18 builds; I mean when facing no -sneak attack mobs, what build hits for the most Great Xbow dps if all you roll are 1s for the damage dice...I guess this is more a theoretical than practical build, but it's an approach I always like to explore for any give game.
So last HC season I found the free enlarge from feydark did not work on SLA's. Did that get changed?
Its a little on the nose how you got oneshot by an undead monster using arcane tempest so you made an undead wizard that oneshots things using arcane tempest
Gotta fire with fire, or arcane tempest with arcane tempest i guess.
Hey Strimtom, do you know if the first blood + color spray stills works? And does it work without the sneak attack dices? I kinda understood form your video that you need to have sneak attack dices, but not sure.
You don't need sneak dice, just the ability from shadowdancer that let's first blood work on spells. And yes it still works
@@Strimtom ahhh I completely missed that. Cool. Let’s see if I can find the point to take it.
Thanks for replying on a 1 year old video. I’ve learned a lot about this game from you!
Run it through the rescaled Epic R1 Chronoscope 3 manned lol.
How would throwing in 1 Monk work, particularly for Ocean Stance defenses?
You can do that but you either give up level 9 spells (no weird) or give up on 1 sneak attack dice.
One question you inmune of Poison Spray traps while you are in undead Form??
yes if i remember correctly you are immune to poison.
Tell me, please, can i still look at this build somewhere. The link doesn't work.
I partially restored feats from the video, but the sequence of taking is not clear.

This link will work. They changes some stuff and a lot of the links got bricked, I am still catching up on fixing them all
@@Strimtom Thanks :)
@@Strimtom It is not clear why Quicken Spell is needed at the third level. If you can immediately take Empower Spell instead and double the damage of Shadow blades. Empower stacks with Maximize It is not clear why to deprive yourself of this up to the sixth level. Quicken Spell is already closer to the sixth, before Phantasmal Killer appears. It is also not clear why to use a robe when you can use light armor. SLA have no chance of failure in armor. And it is quite possible to tolerate 10% with a buff. I also don't understand why the dexterity is only 8. 14 endurance is quite enough in my opinion. Tell me is 12 force enough to open the vent and doors? Don't you use Bull's Strength? It is also not clear why to spend points in Open Lock if there is a Knock spell.
@Strimtom You forgot to put in what the feat Augment Summoning is for.
Feydark T5 ability makes augment summoning and improved augment summoning each give +1 illusion DC
Where are you assessing you get sneak attack damage for spells?
Shadowdancer Enhancement.
Tier 3 called Delerium.
It is an upgrade to the attack in shadowdancer.
@@Strimtom I see it says on hit for paranoia and dark imbuement. I don’t see the word delirium or anything that says it applies to spells. Do both apply?
@@danielrungo7334 paranoia is the right one. sorry forgot the exact name
Im not sure if im happy or sad you discovered this LOL its been my fav since last HC. Happy for the validation sad because i wont be so unique :-) love the guild and vids btw
Strimtom, another extremely thought-provoking video, thank you. I think I understand your hesitation towards Weird as a tier 5 choice... I do like your idea of extra sneak attack coupled with spell casting, and I think if you decided to take tier 5 in another ED, and keep Shadowdancer as your second ED using the Paranoia feat...
QUESTION: do you know if PARANOIA works only with Shadowdancer Epic Strikes or can be used in conjunction with any ED Epic Strikes? See what I mean? It isn't clear in the notes on the DDO site.
A note on your First Blood experience... I'm guessing that both normal and Greater Color Spray [Heightened] work in your rotation?
A Bard/Rogue (better Illusion DCs, less Feats, just as squishy) using Fatesinger AND Shadowdancer could also work. But I am leaning towards a Deep Gnome Druid version using Magus of the Eclipe [cold] with Shadowdancer; as Druid has mostly [cold] evocation-based damage spells, I am considering only spending 13 AP into Feywild Illusionist (Greater Color Spray, Fear Immunity and You've Got My Back), at least 13 AP into the racial tree for the extra +3 Illusion DCs... which frees up enough AP so I could take tier 5 into one of the other Druid trees: mmm... perhaps Druid 18 Rogue 1 Wiz 1, with tier 5 into Nature's Protector for extreme tankiness?
So excited... ty ty ty for your inspiring video... need to think hard how to optimize a Druid variant.
oo this sounds interesting! please tell me more!
Deep Gnome has to take Wizard at first level. So how do you take rogue at first level?
On hardcore server all characters start at level 1, including iconic, so you don’t have the default class when you start.
and on regular servers you use a +1 lesser heart of wood to change that first level
You have enough intelligence to max out everything by taking rogue at 2.
Why take Ruin and Greater Ruin?
I'm all force damage and those are the hardest hitting force spells.
@@Strimtom Got it, thanks for the reply. Are the two Ruins more beneficial than for example more Illusion DC's, or the two epic metamagics?
@@leonidkatanaev960 For hardcore, 100% yes. Being able to instantly delete any two monsters at will is awesome when a carnage reaper makes it's save unexpectedly.
Hi Strim, I wrote a book on the how the necromancer first came to be, inspired by my build Nekora. The book is aptly named, wait for it, Nekora. However, She is a drow elf (book is wood elf but drow is much better in DDO). She is a TWF necromancer and I threw in rogue for traps. I have made multiple variations but I cannot get the damage I would like. Currently she is 18 Wizard 2 Rogue with rogue at first for max skill point into thieving. How can I make her stronger with her weapons without sacrificing too much from other abilities. Current DD is 108. Thank you.
*why is force so weak? Magic missle is "the" wizard spell!*
They just have lower damage values than other wizard spells, and don't scale as well against more modern monsters.
That being said, combining the magic missile spell with Shiradi champion is extremely good although it isn't what you might imagine when you think of a force build.
