	Love the shit out of HH, it's just gaming goodness, end of. The raids, if the lag and stupid dungeon alert was fixed, would be pretty damn sweet. The timing and cooperation needed in the shadow dragon one especially is a breath of fresh air. Just.Fix.The.Lag !!!

	the eidolon necklace's 'eidolon summon' is an asshole. he pulled reaver in an FoT, and almost killed a prepped reaver in a different FoT. Who the fuck wants to swap +4 dex AND con OUT any time you have to prep a mob? They should convert that shadow douche to a clicky; people should bitch.

	Fuck Cormyr, give us Ravenloft!

	Dear players, The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means. Love, People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

	Not impressed. The new bow are worse than pinion, so what's the point? New robes are only useful for a caster or stunning fist monk too. Both new raids are interesting, but I've got no reason to run them. Unless they change the raid items, looks like another fail from Turbine.

	I think it's all decent. Loot is a step up for most toons. Explorers are pretty with some unique mechanics. Raids are solid. Is it mind-blowing? No. Is it worth getting? Yes.

	Does Wyrm have expanded crit range? If not, then Pinion will still come out on top for a lot of builds. For Furyshot, I don't think it will matter, but for regular pew pew, the crit profile is a big deal.

It does not. Pinion crits twice as often. The question is, how high will the dmg mod have to be? We know it has to be over 50.. Also, consider there are other factors like the paralyze, the mortal fear 1/2 health proc, and slots. I'd say the Wyrm has a lot going for it for MOST builds.

I thought 6 bucks was pretty retro--that is what every module was in the 80's. Since HH is a retro cool thing we were trying out, it seems appropriate. If we were ever going to do such a thing again-is there any particular module you would love to see in DDO? I keep screaming 'Expedition to the Barrier Peaks' but the robots scare people off of it. Hell, I'll learn Maya and make the damn robots myself to see that module in a video game. Another classic would be G1-3, D1-3 and Q1. We have every single asset already built to pull that off. thoughts? Haunted Halls is great. I would also like to see: Tomb of Horrors Hommlet/Temple of Elemental Evil/Return to

	Are the numbers you're using factoring in the expanded crit range? You're only listing one line of damage for each, so I think that's where the confusion is coming in. If you're using a damage calculator that factors in the crit range already, then that makes sense, but if you're looking at just the base damage for a regular (not critical) hit, then those numbers aren't as meaningful. Mostly, I guess I'm asking where the calculated numbers you're using are coming from.

Mostly, I guess I'm asking where the calculated numbers you're using are coming from. I'm absolutely taking the expanded crit range into account. Here's the detailed version: Pinion: 25.5base (avg base dice plus wep enh)+100dmgmod (total dmg mod BEYOND wep enh)+76.2avgdmg above base from critsw10seeker([((base+dmgmod+seeker)3)-base).2]+11.5sonic=213.2 avg basic dmg per hit This is where expanded crit comes into play. For pinion you crit 20% of the time. For wyrm you crit 10% of the time. So, for wyrm that number is .1 EDIT: as a matter of fact, you don't WANT most of your dmg to come from crits if you have a choice because it's more sensitive to fortification. In this case, Wyrm only gets better compared to pinion as you add fort of mosters (undead, constructs, bosses, etc..)

	Thanks. I didn't realize you were already counting the crits in your formula. In that case, the Wyrm bow looks obviously better than Pinion (at least when the Wyrm bow is upgraded). I'm still happy with my welfare weapon for now, though.

Also, are you applying the 5% chance of cutting the monster HP in half? My rough calcs also show the Wyrm bow coming out ahead. I used 35% armor piercing for tier 2. The Wyrm bow still comes out ahead on 0% fort mobs and comes out way ahead on 100% fort mobs. Vs 100% fort dragons the Wyrm bow is leaps and bounds ahead of Pinion.

Part of why I didn't add vulnerable is because it's available via AA. In any case, it's clear Wyrm is better.

Tomb of Horrors I could see as some kind of challenge... high water marking how far you get through with no real chance of actually making it. Or something.
