Skills-wise, it's almost always worth investing in UMD if you have the points for it - not just for healing & curatives but one that's often overlooked is the humble Find Traps (level 2 divine spell, easy to find at vendors) scroll that temporarily grants the trapfinding feat plus a small bonus to your search skill - combined with a switch-in +search skill item & with the natural INT focus wizards will have, sometimes you'll be able to uncover trap boxes that pure rogues (some assassin & acrobats since they're more likely to be dex focused) might not uncover reliably, or make disarming multiple traps easier as you can uncover boxes while the trapper gets on with disarming - I often do this to assist in the master artificer raid.

@@Strimtom well traps with a search DC above 20 can't be found at all without the trapfinding feat, so it's handy :) Somewhat related, I tend to keep some form of dispel magic spell on casters too if possible since it'll lower the DC on spell wards & count as a disarm if you dispel them completely, good for bonus XP without a proper trapper in a few quests.

@@denewst01 Aye Find Traps scrolls are great for Artificers with their bonus to scroll caster level! And seconded on carrying Dispel Magic for spell wards. On some quests I might start carrying scrolls of Greater Dispel in addition to Dispel wands, just to make disarming wards quicker.

Thanks for the video Strimtom! For skills I'm a fan of putting points into Move Silently and carrying an item that boosts this skill, to complement using Invisibility. (Jump + FF buffs help too) Also wanna add that going Halfling with the Dragonmark is a free to play option for more healing :)

General guidelines: *Metamagics* for boosting most used abilities *Spell Focus* in preferred school Consider: Mental Toughness - More for the extra crit chance to all spells than the xtra SP Augment Summoning - more specific to Pale Masters Insightful Reflexes - more for if soloing or multiclassing for Evasion Spell Penetration - around level 12+ If going for Eldritch Knight, then make some room for a combat style/martial feats, eg. Single Weapon fighting chain + Precision

For important skills to put points into, you forgot heal... can't believe you included repair, which only is helpful if you want to repair a construct, but heal is the MOST important skill for a PM and most wizards are PM'S

Are the metamagic feats any good? I find this confusing. it looks like on paper they would be, but other people on some forums were discouraging people away from them. This doesn't make sense because it seems you could do so much with them. It also seemed discouraging that only information on the pale master build is around on the net and not on any other builds. it would be nice to know of and see what other builds can work as I don't think people want to play as an undead for some people.
@Strimtom
@Strimtom Жыл бұрын
The metamagic feats are the best spellcaster feats in DDO. Basically every spellcaster uses quicken and embolden, most spellcasters use maximize and empower/intensify, and DC casters use heighten and enlarge. Healers also use enlarge. I'm not sure where you would even find people saying metamagics are bad, but to be sure, they are very very very good and are the backbone of casters and are a big reason why casters are so much better than every other part of the metagame for questing

I am by no means a DDO expert and this guide is geared towards me. I do have a question regarding the skill point however since when playing last night (lvl 3 Wiz) I noticed some skills you didn't cover affected certain spell types. One of the skills (perform or maybe heal) affected positive and negative energy spells. Are putting points into those skills worth it if for example you want to be a Necro and expect to use negative energy a lot?
@Strimtom
@Strimtom 2 жыл бұрын
Not really. It costs 22 skill points for 11 heal (half since cross class), which is 11 negative spellpower. Which COULD be useful, except that's at level 20. At level 20 you have access to items like ddowiki.com/page/Item:Epic_Sceptre_of_Nullification which gives 186 negative spellpower which makes the 11 you would get from 22 points in heal not really that important. Especially given that you can also get an augment for the heals skill of +19, which would be more anyway. Basically, yes it helps, but the amount is EXTREMELY small so I usually recommend putting points elsewhere.

in the schools tab at the bottom, there's a column call spell crit multiplier, i noticed at 3rd or 6th, warlock gets a bump to this in one of the trees but i cant really tell if theres an effect?!? AND i cant find any treasure drops that seem to affect this column at all? and nothing for any other caster classes either? please enlighten me.

Spell critical multiplier is a very rare stat on only very endgame gear. Warlock gets a bunch from the tainted scholar tree. Wizard gets some from the T5 of arch mage tree that only works some of the time. Spell critical multiplier is mostly an epic stat and it does work. I run 135% on my warlock and it is a massive difference.

Hey, not sure if anyone else had this issue when they are choosing paths. A while ago, I was in the game and I had the +5 lesser heart that DDO gave to player due to the change in the game! I relog in for lesser reincarnate using the +5 heart and talk to the life shaper and decided multi class monk + fighter. After I took the monk level i needed i took fighter level but after level 5 fighter I cannot take another fighter, it just wouldn't let me. It says, " some unknown error occurred, choose the path manually" something like that and I choose it manually but it doesn't work, the same message repeatedly. I relog twice but nothing change either. So, I quit the game. I lost interest coz idk if that would even be fixed. I don't even know what to say! Was it my fault or the game got bugged out!?! I was level 30 monk just before i lesser reincarnate. Anyone know anything about that?
@Strimtom
@Strimtom 2 жыл бұрын
From what I understand, you want more than 5 levels of fighter? A +5 heart of wood only lets you change 5 levels, so if you were a 20 monk, you could only be a 15 monk/5 fighter.

Intelligence is the most important wizard stat. You need an intelligence of 10 + Spell level to cast a spell, so a level 1 spell needs an intelligence of 11. It's your main stat and really only important one, so it should always be maxed and should start with at least a 16 when making a wizard.

movement speed is so broken in this game. my wizard has a 30% speed item, I cast haste, I have a light load weight. I look on my character sheet and it shows my movement speed is anywhere from 129% to 124%.
@Troka-O.Boy07
@Troka-O.Boy07 2 жыл бұрын
its not broken, its the wording. both the item and haste gives you enhancmenets bonus to movement speed. and they don't stack. and for some reason the base movement speed ingame is 99%, and when your character is carrying to much it has an effect. light=no penalty (0-25%), but beyond that you start taking penalties like less movement speed and less armor class. even becoming uncentered(beyond 25%(monks)) evasion feat that stops to work(beyond 50%). and if your overloaded (over 100%) you lose the ability to attack or cast spells. there are some mobs that attack you with str damage and curses that will lower you STR which means you we get these penalties for being overloaded. a general tip is to allways have a STR item (at least for low level) and not to pick up heavy items like armors, great weapons and shields (item weigth can be seens in lower right concer on an item)
