Defining “Bravery”
What does “bravery” actually mean, if it does not encompass a level 22 character attempting a level 30 quest, solo?

DDO Please play responsibly
Observations for veteran players My time spent having fun playing DDO lately has improved considerably since joining The Unrepentant guild, and not just because it’s a very active guild that regularly runs a variety of content at all hours of the day. The best aspect of running with these folks has been the terrific guild […]

Oh Neglected Threnal, Let Me Ponder Your Greatness!
I always find it interesting that people will run Delera’s Tomb for the Voice of the Master, but many don’t run Threnal for the Mantle of the Worldshaper. Who doesn’t love a cloak that gives free die hard, spell absorption and +5% XP, maybe I am just lazy but many times this lasts on my […]

DDOCaSplat! 18 – MikarDDO’s 10 Week Challenge: Week 3 pt 2
MikarDDO has set forth a 10 week challenge to complete dungeons on as low a level as possible in both groups and solo play. In this DDOCaSplat! special, you can watch Shamgar attempt to complete these challenges.
Week 3 – part 2: Complete ToEE pt 1 on elite with a level 4 character (techniclly i could have gone up to level 7 and still gotten the bonus point – yes 1 measly bonus point – but wheres the fun in that!)
woof. That was a struggle at times, a grind at others. I got in a solid groove using sneaky body pulling tactics to thin out the herds and it was highly effective. I used my same character from week 2 (a level 3 paladin) but I took 1 level of ranger for infinite arrows and a little boost in range banking on needing more range than any additional defensive or melee power. I didn’t have too many problems until getting the air key – which was the last key I needed. That cleric proved tough and his mephit friends didn’t help much either. There was also a sizeable mob of orcs waiting behind a spawn door – Yikes and I was out of Lay on Hands! It wasn’t until I was heading to the end fight until I suffered my first of 2 allowable deaths – oh yeah, there are traps in ToEE! Luckily it was the only batch i ran into. It was at this point my tactics took a notable turn towards ranged and that ranger level paid dividends. First were several gargoyles – and my gear was suffering from gargoyles before so i used range more to preserve my melee weapons than anything else. And then I relaized the keys dropped when I died in the traps. And a group of mobs respawned. Lousy! Thankfully, I was able to reach the keys without going in the trap.
Then came the end fight. I knew it was going to be tough. I was aiming to take out the fire elly first, but the earth grab was too much to ignore, and indeed led to my 2nd of 2 deaths (and nearly a third a few more times!). I managed to take out earth and was then able to take fire down shortly after. I opted to kill the air elly right away since he was knocking me down – a major problem with a bebilith on your tail. I ended up taking out water too – the bebilith was webbing me (despite a fire/cold shield!) so he needed to go. It got dicey, but eventually I was able to take out the bebilith. The druid, while certainly able to do some damage, wasn’t too much of a problem once the shield came out and my MRR got a serious boost as did my dps. Oh, and the cookie/cake stash saw very liberal use in here. A worthy investment considering how stingy i am and how not useful they are in higher levels. And 2 hours is a long way to go to fail (I could have been more liberal too).

DDOCaSplat! 16 – MikarDDO’s 10 Week Challenge: Week 3
MikarDDO has set forth a 10 week challenge to complete dungeons on as low a level as possible in both groups and solo play. In this DDOCaSplat! special, you can watch Shamgar attempt to complete these challenges.
Week 3: Complete the Pit on elite with a level 4 character
I used my original ranger from week 1 (this task was completed before week 2 for this reason) which again proved mostly effective if slower than I would have liked. Ranged attack speed is surprisingly lacking at low levels. I know the pit extremely well so that wasn’t a problem. The prophets and their hold person spell proved to be quite taxing though and I didn’t quite remember the floor puzzles and ran into some problems there, though thankfully within range of the shrine. If I had to do it again, I think a warforged would be a better choice.
After the quest was completed I took a chance going for the Avatar ooze (and a muckdoom) but a champion trog warlord was waiting for me at the bottom of the shaft and he put an end to any hopes of that.
DDOCaSplat! 15 – MikarDDO’s 10 Week Challenge: Week 2
MikarDDO has set forth a 10 week challenge to complete dungeons on as low a level as possible in both groups and solo play. In this DDOCaSplat! special, you can watch Shamgar attempt to complete these challenges.
Week 2: Complete A Small Problem on elite with a level 3 character
This Challenge was certainly more tricky than the first. Attempt 1 (the same ranger from week 1) ended when 2 fire elemental champions roasted Brawnpits. The second time around I used a different character (sword and board paladin for aggro management purposes) and had much greater success, but still ran into a few problems guiding Brawnpits back with a particularly lousy combination of fire elly champ and illusionist champ in the same group. It probably would have helped if i would have remembered to get ship elemental resistance buffs before I left.
