Question about Harry Beaters and GS Crafting

Print Post  
Hi all,

No drama here to see here today (yet)

Just two questions if I may:

1. I got a chaotic neutral wf barb - trying to figure out what weap I need for a harry beater. Generally I use greataxes or greatswords. I got metalline enfeebling atm. I know generally it's metalline + PG but I can't use those (no UMD). What would you recommend?

2. I've got my GS great axe, ready to craft. What would you recommend I take for tier 1 and 2. Is the holy burst/good damage tiers good aligned? (that would really suck if I made a GS I couldn't use Smiley

I know their n00b questions, so I will expect the inevitable taunts, but answer the questions too if you could Smiley

Cheers,

Mineral II .
Holy-acid-holy+acid.

This will bypass most dr's in the game since is will be metaline and good alligned. But since it is holy u can use it on a neautral toon.

Breaken's just a weird asshole, divorcced and pathetically marvelling at talk of sex.  That guy is fucked IMHO. People I really don't like here list is small.  Not that you or anyone should care, but for me it is Calvet, because he's stupid in a bitchy drama way, and Breaken, but he is a liar and a blunt, inelegant angry guy

Good burst does not have an alignment requirement. It's not the same as Pure Good.

Holy still ends up doing a bit more damage though.

When people bring in their personal lives, it is all fair game.  This board promotes trolling.  If you bring something up, expect it to be used against you at a later date if not immediately.  You want to bring up personal shit, well, that is your problem.

If one fails to understand the nuances of elite level trolling they would falsely interpret posts meant to fan the flames as support.

Chris, if you can find a Holy Silver weapon of whatever, that will bypass pit fiend DR and do more damage than a met pg. Alternatively, a Metalline flametouchediron weapon of whatever will do less damage but bypass pit fiend DR just as well.
The weapons made out of something other than steel are uncommon, but worth looking for.

Cheers,




For #1, you have a couple options:

A. Holy/Holyburst + Silver
B. Metalline + Flametouched Iron

Since DR applies to each hit, swinging with a single two handed weapon that doesn't bypass DR is not good, but it's at least better than swinging with two weapons that don't break DR.

Harry's DR is 15 on Normal, so if you're doing bucketloads of damage on each hit, then you'll still hurt Harry even if you don't break DR.  That said, Metalline + Flametouched Iron will work for you and Holy, Silver will work for you as well. 

You can also UMD your way into a Metalline of Pure Good weapon if you invest in a couple of UMD points, a +6 Cha items (or a Eabgle's Splendor pot if you can't afford the Cha item), Greater Heroism, Voice of the Master and the necklace from Delera's Tomb that gives +3 UMD.  Just get all your buffs at once, equip the +1 Metalline of Pure Good two handed weapon and then you can swap out all of your UMD items for your regular gear once you have your Metalline of PG weapon equipped.

...Or you can buy a Blessed Silver weapon from the DDO store.  Sad

Thanks very much everyone.

Popejubal, I didn't realise that the UMD check was made when you equipped only, that was an interesting revelation thank you.

Thanks very much everyone. Slink gave me some similar advice in shroud but it was a bit rushed cos he was busy pulling newbs in line Smiley

I shall work on my GS crafting and wait until the next level 16 shroud pug goes up Smiley

You can also get an additional +6 to your UMD though exceptional Cha skill bonuses from a Greensteel item.  Of course, if you're going to make a Greensteel item, you're probably better off making a Holy/Acid Burst/Acid Blast Mineral II weapon than the +6 Cha +150 SP item...

By the way, here is the recipe for the "standard" Greensteel Mineral II weapon.

I made it a quarterstaff so that I couldn't be accused of advocating on behalf of a Falchion or Greataxe.  Smiley
In that link, click "edit this item" to see what powers it will have when crafted.
