Twists of Fate - Cheating - Not!!!
DDO with its infinite wisdom has really made the game that much harder to play, you will start to see more and more
Level Draining effects and spells, so be prepared, because there is no real solution then to start casting Dispel magic on the casters while they are casting level drain on you. There are a few things you can try to do, but with all the issues of the game, like lag, it's going to be a problem.
Ideas that might help
1. Deathward items, 2 Dispel Magic 3. Items that increase your saving throws 4. Items increase your Wisdom 5 Items and enchancements to increase your DC to spells
6. Range attack casters, mainly the clerics, they use level drain more often, plus they heal the party so take them out first.
With the new DDO rules and changes people have been saying that if you use your Twist of Fate powers from past life after completing at least 2 Epic Destinities, that you are cheating or that it's unfair... Well it's not and I will tell you why.
First all of the twists are 1st tier, the weakest of all, nice to have, but your not getting any on going effect.
Second the more powerful twists are limited to 5 times per rest. In order to use them your current class has to meet a certain reqirement, like having spell points, a rogue is not going to be able to most of the healing twists without having spell points.
Beside all this, how many times has your character died in a quest because of issues with DDO and lag?
Your trying to heal someone or yourself and because DDO lags out, your unable to heal and the toon dies.
I recently was dong some quests and all of sudden the video became very choppy, not the usual lag, but like studdering, I thought I was going to die, actually later on I did, my toon jumped over the acid trap but because of lag I was stuck in the second acid spray trap, because I'm not 9th level my hireling could not raise me, and there was no shrine to bring me back to life.
It looks like DDO is going to make things harder to gain XP and getting favor, by adding Death spells and Level Draining in the game, making it harder to TR. hmm can't wait to see what Epic Elite is going to be, your going to be too busy casting Dispel Magic every few seconds instead of casting other effect spells and damage, worst part is, is that the Bard songs doesn't effect Bosses no matter what level or bonuses you have, however the Arane Archer Ranger's Terror Arrows works
againist them!
So if anyone has a issue with using Twists of Fate then have them read this and they will come to realize that DDO is taking the fun out of the game, once in a while I can see it, but really do we need another slot to put a level drain item, on, come on DDO too much is too much.
