I like this one and put a link to it on a comment I made on Voodu's video on the same topic. Good advice as always. Got up to around 885 at level 24 using this and voodu's ideas. I no longer die as much as I use to

Good to know about heavy armor being better. I will try pure Artie next life with heavy armor. Usually I splash rogue and take insightful reflex.

Concealment does not roll separately, essentially what this means is that displacement will make blur irrelevant. This is a confirmed mechanic that has been tried and tested.

And here I was dumping loads of points into dex and wondering why I was still so squishy... thanks.

Good stuff man, hit on a lot of imprt points that were easy to understand. Will take a look at your other vids, and apply your wisdom. Keep it up.

I currently use Raven Loft medium armour (Legendary Coat of the Traveler) as it actually give me a higher AC than any Heavy armour i have tried to use, I believe it has something to do with its Dex cap or possibly the parrying, its even better than all of the Sharn armour I have tried , also I do not incur as much Spell Failure penalty wearing medium so to say heavy armour is the best is incorrect in my opinion. I have tried swapping items out to try and suit new heavy armour but I found that i usually drop around 12 AC when i do so, I usually end up going back to my original build my PPR is 135 & MMR 134 fort is around 250 ish, I have been trying to get my Dex and reflex up lately to see if that makes a difference.

I've found a Wizard with a PM Shroud, Death Aura on, Displacement and Blur both on, and Raged/Hasted is a fearsome juggernaut, even when not specced for melee.

Medium armor is fine because you can pair dodge with it and there is no cap on PRR or MRR also with your bonuses on Heavy Armor being linked to your BAB, unless your BAB is high, medium armor is better.

Great video! My WF Sorc has close to 1200 hps at level 28 so I am on the mark it looks like tanking. I may try adamantine enhancements and check the effect it has.

I'd give more than 1 like on this video if I could; You respond to every comment, have a fast upload speed for requested videos, and you have glasses like I do! (+6 Style Bonus to Intelligence, but Curse of Short-Sight: If these goggles are removed, all enemies gain 20% non-True Sight-able concealment at melee range, and 50% at range until re-equipped) Right now I use the ML 13 Ring of Shadows for Blur on my mechanic, since it, the Snakeskin Vest, and Gnollhide Gloves are a great rogue set in heroics (I'm level 16 atm, and I kill most things before they can reach me and kite the ones who can :P)

I play a pure barb with 1.8k hp raged heavy armor 150prr displacement clickies and doing around 500-750 dmg 5-6k crts. It works well when ur soloing EE's

So, I've recently started play DDO and I decided to make a Barbarian and I was wondering if I should go for heavy armor. I talked to a few ppl and they said they've played bbn for a number of years and wear medium armor because if you wear plate then it removes uncanny dodge.

how much more is displacement time on quarterstaff? Can I craft GS staff and bonus displacement only, or do I have to craft tiers 1, 2 and bonus 1 and 2?

you forgot fortification?

druids can't wear heavy

Whats prr im a complete noob
