So now my QP DC will be 65 (useless in EE Wheloon and especially in EE Stormhorns content) but my SF DC will stay at 80.

:sigh:


Your QP Dc would not be that high.

This is for a Monk18/Ftr2

10 (base)
14 (1/2 char level)
20 (Wis mod)

3 (GMoF Core abilities)
80


Yes. And if you're crazy you can get 78 wis constant self-buffed in water stance as a pure helf monk with bursts of up to 83wis self-buffed. instead of the 50 that Arkat is going off of. Not counting the burst wis, that adds up to a 34 wis mod instead of 20. Hence

94- 6 for lost tactics enh

=88 DC Stun Max as a Fleshie.

OR if you want to go FULL retard, you go max nutty wis on a ftr-splashed Bladeforged (72 in water stance) and you end up with Arkat's 80 above with 11 more from wis mod

=91+2 effective from shaken = 93 +3effective from imp sunder= 96.

You can actually get 1-2 more than THAT if you drop the alchem wraps and find stun 12-13 wraps.

But your defense and dps would not be.... optimal.

Tactics enhancements, PLs, etc. will still add. It's only the things like Shatter which add to your Sunder DCs that will be taken away.

You should re-read the Release Note a little more carefully.

Quote:
•The Monk's Quivering Palm ability is getting some revisions related to its DC, as part of investigation into balancing Death effects. Quivering Palm no longer benefits from Sundering bonuses.  However, whenever an enemy saves vs. Quivering Palm, you get a stacking +4 bonus to your Quivering Palm DC. This stack is dispelled when you successfully kill someone with Quivering Palm. We are keeping an eye on these numbers and they may be changed in the future.Quivering Palm no longer benefits from Sundering bonuses.
•This is the full text of Quivering Palm:
•Melee Attack: Deliver a fatal attack by sending waves of vibrations through your target. A successful Fortitude save negates this effect. (DC = 10 + 1/2 Monk Level + Wisdom Modifier). When an enemy saves vs. Quivering Palm, you gain a stacking +4 Perseverance bonus to your Quivering Palm DC until you kill an enemy with Quivering Palm (or 3 minutes pass).


The Red part is what you should pay attention to.

The Blue part has ALWAYS been written this way. The written formula never specifically included all the Tactics enhancements, feats, PLs, etc. but the actuals DCs in the game included them. Nothing has changed regarding those adds to DCs.

Didn't read it, went to lama and tested it.
Quoting myself from the mother forums.

QP is not a tactical feat,
not on lama, so nothing is added to it. No idea what it is on live. my monk is on a fighter life so.....
made a test on lama 18 monk 2 fighter.

fighter enhancement tactics- no
LD tactics - no
GMOF tactics - no (really)
Epic feat tactics- no
I did not check racial or fighter past lives, but doesn't look promising.
So it more than a -10 - 12 or so, its way more.

It's a bug then.

They nerfed it way more than they intended I'm sure.

You should post about this in the Lamannia forums. I would but, as you may know, I am no longer allowed to post on the DDO Forums.

No, I'm pretty sure this is how they want it. They want you to have to build up your QP throughout the quest to use it a couple of times if you're lucky in an EE.

I read it as they want you to build it up against a single monster over the course of three hits (3 x 4 DC = +12 to DC which is close to making up for the Sunder/Shatter removal) maybe and finally kill it. I doubt it's supposed charge up throughout the dungeon only for you to unleash it at some particular point.

Although, I could see reading it to be that way. That would suck terribly.

Wish? No. Crazy? Yes.

18 base
7 levels
5 tome
1 human
1 Cleric dilly
4 enh
2 capstone
11 item
3 insight
1 exceptional
2 ship
2 Alchemical
2 Yugo
6 destiny
2 Acute instincts twist
2 wis twists
3 great wis feats
4 Water stance
1 Profane
--------------------

=77

Trying to remember the last one..

You could prolly squeeze out 1 more wis if you ditched t5 ENH.. but that's pretty extreme.

Tested drunk wraps with a nox fang, as the char copy isn't working so its the only damn thrower I could find in the room o stuff.
No it did not "stick", but I want to do more testing so I'm not calling this fixed yet.

Horc and PDK (males) tested, the great cleave is the same animation as cleave, so no hop-kick-aoe-stun-type shit can be done, well I can't do it like I can on live.
allegedly.

You are supposed to cry on motherforums how hard to get 55 SF or your MAXXXED ™ Shade 55  necro wizzy doesn't work, not ask questions here.
Preferrably comment some nonsense about "balance " too.

As long as they don't nerf the cooldown on SF, I'm still quite happy with my monk...hardly ever use QP in EE content (since I didn't build for it)...but as long as my SF continues to work with extra damage twists from ED's I'm happy.  Of course, this does not mean I am happy with this nerf, but not the first time T-bine has screwed with my characters(I have 8 level 20 bank characters to prove this), but que sera.

I like how there's no mention of an SF hit, which inherently has a higher DC.  Because balance.
