There's one item...kinda sexy.


Really cool item name. Decent effects.

They're really pushing this AC tank thing aren't they? But is that ring worth losing a ToD ring?

Note to any Turbine staffers reading this, and one I genuinely hope you share around the office: DDO has become a shit game because y'all have made it a shit game. Once it was great. Now, it's a festering puddle of monkey diarrhea. No matter how you try to justify it, or pat yourselves on the back for doing great jobs... it's a shit game now because of you. Y'all keep on giving the players the middle finger, and you keep expecting us to reward you for the abuse. I've had it with you narcissistic fuckwads and your myopic policies of ineptitude.

I like flavorful, essentially not-gameplay relevant updates, such as

ToD ring yes, Chattering ring no.

They should have made it Dodge 4.  It wouldn't stack with Icy Rainments and would finally give S&B that few point nudge it needed to be superior over Pajamas.

The new release notes look pretty decent.

Less boss hp, with new boss tricks on epics (Seems no details yet on the tricks but im assuming it's to create more awareness on everyones part of whats going on instead of the auto attack & AFK mindset).

New Loot in VOD and Hox (Elite only). 

Extra chests in harder diff Shrouds with Shroud mats available in end reward list.

At first glance seems to be a much better set of changes than the lazy fix of U11.

Isn't epic Grim's +3 dodge as well, and with additional useful stuff? Necklace slot might be easier to fit in than a ring. Not sure, since I don't have any AC toons.

Either dodge 4 or Insight AC 5 would be more appropriate. If it's going to be a level 20 item, it should have level 20 enchantments.

Epic Grims takes up the critical Necklace slot for a stalwart, a Stalwart III would only net 1 AC and lose 15% threat as well as two action boosts.  Pallies can use this as can rangers though.  For Dodge 3 on a fighter the Chattering ring or those new bracers are the better call.

Dodge 4 would have been a better call.

The 15% threat is meaniless when in stance with a shield you already get 150%.  A couple lost boost is meh...

Best part of the update:

Quote:
Hunter of Boxes
            Benefit: The very idea of crates fill your iron defender with murderous rage! Your iron defender likes to smash boxes and gains the chaotic alignment.
            Note: This enhancement really will once again make your iron defender a mortal enemy of boxes, for those of you that liked their original box-smashing behavior.

Two boosts is huge if you run Elite ToD, VoD, eChrono, etc or anything longish.

1 point of AC is meh, you lose two losing your stalwart set to gain 3, that is foolish.

There is no such thing as too much threat generation on a tank so don't discount that 15%.

Because dodge bonuses on items of the same value do not stack?

Umm..  Ya, but that's only their "workaround thing".  They have to be from the same item, and the dragontouched armor bonuses were essentially the same thing as the chattering ring. 

They didn't add a "+3 dodge bonus" to the dragontouched items, they added a "+3 dodge bonus from the chattering ring" to them. 

Not exactly the same thing, although in a lot of places it works out the same way.
