+1/2/3[w], affected enemy can't cast spells for 4 seconds.
Melee: 14/12/10 second cooldown.
Ranged: 20/18/15 second cooldown.


Tier 5 from Warsoul only
Quote:
Divine Power remains at 2AP. It now also grants a +1 Competence bonus to Critical Multiplier with weapons.


Capstone Angel of Vengence
Quote:
- Ascendancy's many versions based on deity are now gone. In their place:
- Ascendancy: Both versions grant +2 to all Skills, +20 Universal Spell Power, and a Searing Light SLA that costs zero spell points. Multiselector:
+4 Wisdom
+4 Charisma


Tier 3 Angel of Vengence
Quote:
NEW: Sun Bolt SLA (12/9/6 second cooldown, 12/10/8 SP)


Tier 5 Angel of Vengence
Quote:
Tier 5:
NEW: Cometfall SLA (20/15/12 second cooldown,35/30/25 SP)


They are adding an item that can give you an 8th filigree slot.
Prowess boost is now only 75 MP (it was giving 100 MP).

Items are generally garbage. The staff might be a swap for another discorporation clicky. Warhammer might be ok. It has a stacking overwhelming critical on top of it. Deathward clicky necklace, 3 charges. +3 action boost goggles as a swap.

I need FVS lives on my new caster, point blank -  can I make a decent DC FVS or am I better off going melee?

The goggles are BIS for any strength based melee.   (insightful strength, alacrity, and +3 Action boosts)  Goggles slot is a dead zone for melee.  There is no other source for insight strength in the game over +4 besides CC (in two slots that are heavily contested on melees) or LGS weapons (a non-starter).

Manslayer at level 9 on the heroic versions is pretty beastly.

Yes.  That's why I said "besides CC".   But only in the belt, bracers, or gloves slots.   All of which have problems with other BIS named items or set bonuses you want.  (i.e. Belt and silent avenger set).

Before this there were zero named items offering insightful strength over +4 (unless you count Severlin's leaden boots, which are only available during the anniversary event and only go up to +6).   And goggles slot is trash for strength melees.

Low reaper heroics should be no sweat with the new tree. I'd probably go melee till about level 4 though.

It is definitely not as strong as air domain or death domain cleric though.

OK nice! Exactly what I wanted in terms of SLAs. Sunbolt is a nice fast cast and a nice addition to the rotation

I am a bit worried that they may share cooldowns though so will reserve some judgment for now

Boosting the Archon is a really nice touch.

Cometfall is a bit of a hidden beast, free cometfall is ace

I take this all as Good news.

Almost nothing could have made FvS trees more useless, now they are at least playable (in heroics at least, I have no insight into Epic/Legendary caster play).

I have FvS lives coming up on my Main Alt, and this will make the grind more bearable.

Assuming I get to log in and play more than 2 hours once a week...  Grin

Shit! i just realised by removing ascendancy they are taking away my bolt of the sun! and replacing it with searing light!


ARRRRGH!

OK, I do have another sunbolt SLA and a nimbus of light SLA, so it comes out a little ahead I think but its not as strong as I thought

And it means I can change to a better CHA race

ok, so +50 love instead of  +100 love

Can anyone check on lama?


Sunbolt, cometfall and Nimbus of light - how do their DCs stack up against the spells? Theres no point casting them if they dont hit (e.g. EA destiny soundburst SLA is way lower than the spell soundburst DC)

Does the Sunbolt SLA share the same cool down as the EA Sunbolt SLA?

I mean in all fairness, a geared out Death Domain cleric is the most OP thing in DDO as far as higher skulls go.

I don't think sunbolt will fix how shit Favored Soul are before blade barrier in heroics. IMO melee is still probably easier, unless you're going iconic. Deep gnome 1wiz/19fvs is stellar. Maybe even burn an LR+1 and hit an epic box twice my dude? haha

Tier 4 from  +3 action boost goggles as a swap.


Was under the impression these items are useless as a 'swap', as it won't give you the boost until after rest? Unequip it and you LOSE the boost, and have to re-rest after re-equipping to re-acquire?

Start/rest with them on, spam 3 boosts, then swap them out.
