Exactly.  Good thing they allowed more time to test on Lamma as they said they would.  It appears that this update will be another rousing lag-free success.  Turbine has been doing right by their customers lately and is definitely on the right track. 

PS: did you notice how innovative and creative their loot design was this update?  I have complete faith in them to absolutely nail revamping cannith crafting.

I am glad I didnt make any lgs items. No telling what I would have to swap around or replace and recraft because turbine pushes out loot that makes the past few updates obsolete.

The ring best in slot on any melee or ranged.

The cloak BiS for shiradi @185 impulse power. cucked if you made a lgs cloak

Boots BiS for melee with 4 quality str and seeker. also cucked if you made lgs boots

Helm is sick too.

The surprise would be if everything worked without breaking anything.

they will probably congratulate themselves on how long they "kept it going" never able to see that it could have easily managed to keep itself going for far longer if they had just meddled far less drastically and with some semblance of an actual gameplan.

Yeah if they would have fixed the lag etc I was gonna buy an Ottos box; due to the fact a couple weeks ago a mule account got perma banned with nearly a whole inventory full of them.  They got me, but their inept operation style is keeping me from spending more money with them.  Dumbasses.

Hello all,

Wanted to give people a heads up with the state of the Kensei and Update 31. There are several changes that will not be included when the update goes live, but will be added in a future patch, coming soon.

These changes include:

Tier 4: Added the following 2 Enhancements
•      Opportunity Attack: 2 Charges, Melee Attack: Deals +1/2/3[W] Damage. Your Melee Power is boosted by 10 for 6 seconds. Each time you damage an opponent, but no more than once per second, you have a 10% chance to add a charge up to a maximum of 2.
•      Liquid Courage: After drinking a potion or drink, increases Positive Healing Amplification 50 for 30 seconds

Core Skills:
•      Change Core Level 18 "One Cut" skill to the following: On Activate, Crit Multiplier Increase (Unique Bonus for 15 seconds, 60 second cooldown)


We will also be monitoring additional feedback on the Kensei and seeing if additional changes are needed.

Thanks
Nohbob


That should bring up the dps,a bit. I think it is enough to even out with the 12fighter swash build I tested with, but not outperform rangers, barbs, and pallies..

Yeah.  That T4 ability will be "always on" for most fights, unless you get tripped, held, stunned, danced, commanded, cometfalled, whatever.  6 seconds is pretty quick to expire it.

The Crit Multiplier is nice, but would be better if it was more than 15 seconds per minute.

Ok, I suck at quoting so your quotes didn't come through... But here's my half-baked opinion:

Liquid Courage: so I need two separate pots, hopefully on separate cool downs, to get any meaningful self-healing happening. This idea was shit in the Dwarf Racial tree, it's not any better rehashed now.

Opportunity Attack: 1 second gate on the procs, at 10% chance. I guess Haste Guard and Haste pots are the new black, unless it resets the timer for another 6 seconds.

One Cut: A level 18 clickie to get a Crit Multiplier increase with a timer. This is complete horse-shit when Paladin gets Holy Sword at 14 and Ranger has +1 Multi/Threat at Lvl 12. And they're not on short timers (Ranger bonuses are permanent).

Like Rub said, it's an improvement, but it still seems low. Well behind other f2p classes and even (at a cursory glance) behind Vanguard.

Fail.

I shouldn't be surprised by this, but FFS, after all these kicks at the can you would think these ass-clowns would get something right by ACCIDENT at this point.

You know, a million monkeys at a million typewriters and all that...  Shocked

On Liquid Courage - Standard CSW or SF pots are on a 3 second cool down.  30 seconds is plenty of time.  The positive amp affects cocoon, LoH, and other healing sources too.  Including the LGS procs and the PL proc.  It's better than you make it out to be.  But it's still not great self healing as you have to pause DPS.

On the Opportunity Attack - It does reset the timer, and if you aren't landing at least 10 hits in 6 seconds, then you don't deserve to keep the thing going.  But still, I'd rather see a 10 or 12 second timer on that.

One Cut - This is IN ADDITION to the permanent +1 Crit Multipler and +1 Crit Range boosts the Kensei already gets.  So they will have more than Ranger or Pally.  For 15 seconds per minute.  Again, better than you suggest.

There were ways to dupe just about anything.  Shards, stones, et al.  I still know a few people with tons of things.  They got my mule bank account, but they didn't get a lot of the other stuff on my main accounts.  I still don't know how they found out, cuz I'm very very careful.  I think it was luck.  There were only a couple people that knew of this account, and it was benefiting them greatly.  Plus they are my personal friends. 

There might be one person that is on the current Ddo players council that might have turned on me.  I say that due to the fact that he was a duper/exploiter then all of a sudden stopped all when he was about to get on the council.

  should be able to keep up the stacks going pretty much non-stop. Just tons of clicking for 10mp.

sort of. One Cut was on same cooldown as haste boost. Someone brought that up in the kensei thread on mobo, and a dev said they would look into it. Maybe they will change that when the patch hits later. One Cut was already annoying to play with because of the shared cooldown bs. I had to click it, wait 30 seconds then start dpsing so I could have dual boosts going. nice design, turbine.

twf kensei well ahead of vanguard if both in LD.

Kensei wont be beating the other melee classes in raw dps. The new fighter feats do add some versatility to builds. Getting high tactic dc is easier than ever for fighter splashes now and 6th level gets crit expansion. Or go all out pdk tactics build and max dc for stunning shield is like 170~ now

Rubbins on phone responding but I can't get the mark and quote to work properly. 

So to me outing who I think ratted on me: I can't do that, for it wouldn't be fair without actual proof.  I assure you if/when I do I'll burn their ass in more ways than one.  Including here for all to see and hopefully assist in destroying said individual.

Banning people is easy and fun, fixing stuff is hard and boring, and there is no management engaged enough to make them focus on the hard boring stuff.
