Artificers on Wendesday

[quote=KookieKobold;3998858]Wednesday's Event will be held at 7pm to 10pm EST (GMT-4).


This event's focus will be on the new class, the Artificer!


Once Lamannia is live, Artificer will be available from the DDO store in game for a small amount of turbine points (Which can be gotten from Lord Poincealot).

From there, we ask for you to play your way through the levels of Artificer!

Experience will be drastically increased starting on Wednesday and ending on Monday of next week.

Devs will be on hand searching for those of you who are adventuring through quests. Those Devs will be granting levels to the people they find in quests.


Yark Yark!
See you all there! [/quote]

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

while this was totally expected, I still need to say - FUCK YEAH - bring on the death ray (or whatever they call the crazy arm cannons)

I bet it's TP only, like most of the races and classes they've introduced since EU.  In fact, have they added any favor unlocks since EU?  I can't think of one.

Even if it was a favor unlock, the next step up is somewhere past 2500 points.  Most people I know that wanted to play one bought Favored Soul instead of grinding beyond that +2 favor tome. I'm sure Artificer would still draw in plenty of store sales.  I hope it is a favor reward though, I still have a character with max favor  Cheesy

No other classes have been introduced since EU, iirc.
Veteran status was introduced a little while after EU, iirc.

Was monk introduced alongside EU?

It's tricky to get to; I had to ask as well.  Go to the north side of the bridge in the Harbor.  On the west of the bridge entrance is a fence you can jump over and fall down to a ledge.  You can then fall to another ledge below that.  Sir Poincalot is on that lower ledge.

Release Notes Mutha fuckahs!

Check this crazy shit out!

Quote:
NEW:Artificer Battle Engineer I (Artificer Prestige Enhancement)

    Cost: 4 action points
    Action Points Spent Prerequisite: 16
    Available to Artificer class level 6
    Requires: Artificer Crossbow Damage I, Artificer Crossbow Attack I, Artificer Damage Boost II, One of: Point Blank Shot, Weapon Focus: Bludgeoning, Piercing, Slashing, Ranged, or Thrown Weapons, Power Attack
    A workshop is not for you - you prefer to provide logistical and technological support on the front lines. You gain 10 hit points, reduce arcane spell failure from armor by 10%, and have +2 to both confirm critical hits and critical damage (before multipliers). Any weapon you wield in your main hand gains +2 to its enhancement bonus (which stacks with the Enchant Weapon spell), and you gain the ability to enchant your crossbow to instantly reload itself, allowing you to lay down incredible amounts of fire for a short period of time.
    Action Boost: Endless Fusillade
    You may activate this ability to enchant your crossbow to instantly reload itself for six seconds.

You know a DPS nerf is coming. Because we can't have players actually able to hurt things.

I can see serious complaints coming when people get high level artificers and find they will be able to use the equivelent of say a +8 GS weapon, a +2 to crits, with two sets of elemental damage on it or Vorpal strike, with an adjustable alignment bypass, all on top of the weapons base abilities.

Seems a bit much to me personally. Definately going to be crowned the King of Melees if its released like this.

I ran an Artificer up to 4 on Llamania today.  Didn't particularly like it.

The Arm Cannon isn't particularly effective even if you use it to add to your single weapon DPS.

You're restricted to single weapon fighting if you want to use the Arm Cannon.

Pet AI isn't any better than hireling AI and it uses the Hireling interface.

The spells are nice buffs, but there isn't anything particularly exciting in the spells that you get other than bonuses on your weapons, etc.  That is certainly nice, but it's not a big reason for me to want to play a character.

I'm thinking that the disappointing Arm Cannon pushes me toward just using regular THF as a combat style and using the Artificer spells to boost those (unless someone figures out a way to make them significantly more effective in adding to your DPS).

What about crossbows. With the changes to point blank, arties getting rapid reload for free, wouldn't a great crossbow in their hands is mega. Add in resist energy at level 1, blur wands, etc and you have something that can level up really quickly...

I just leveled one up to 6. so far using the cannon and a +1acid touch repeating crossbow i am kicking ass. i will probably get weaker as i go up but so far low level i am a complete monster.

repeating cross bow +1 acid damage +1d6 endless flaming arrows +1d2 force damage all 3X bolts = I'm one shooting everything.

sp is irrelevant so far. buffs and the rest is for healing.

You may activate this ability to enchant your crossbow to instantly reload itself for six seconds.


5 uses per rest. same cool-down as action boosts so you can us it the same time as damage boost. takes about 2 seconds to start with a little animation of you smacking your crossbow. and it really does eliminate the reload animation, it is just a constant bombardment of bolts. i will need to test it later but I'm guessing a great cross bow would be best to use with this.

It is the new manyshot.

12 artificers, lit 2 great crossbows, using that, wonder what kind of damage you would hit with that.
