You're An Orca
So, I did something that might shock everybody today. I played a video game! I know, I know. This isnt normally a video game blog! Oh, wait... yes it is...
Anyways, So I played DDO for a time today. Really! All day! Except for when I went for a run. And then came home and did some other working out type stuffs. I had energy. Lots of it. That and I was waiting for Commie to come online so we could do some Comical Runs. Turns out, he couldnt make it. Which is 100% OK! It gave me time to run around Korthos and Stormreach causing chaos!
So, I started off, like I said, waiting for Commie to come online. While I was waiting I decided to run around on Mizzaroo, my Elven Artificer, doing lowbie quests to gain favor. Pretty much it went something like this: CHINKCHINKCHINK *dead* CHINKCHINKCHINK *dead*. So it was pretty easy, overall. Once I realized Commie wasnt gonna be on however, I got bored of playing on her and decided to become a radical! Or something like that.
I have, well, had, this character named... something. I forget her name. Shes pretty irrelivent. She was a level four Human Paladin. I like Paladins. Theyre cool and fun and pretty. Anyways, she was an experiment of a sorts. Long story short, the experiment was carried out a few months ago and she failed it. Got shelved, and today, killed. Well, deleted, but whos keeping track? After I killed her off, I went through the character creation menu thing and started deciding what kind of character I wanted to make.
First of course was Class. I was looking at the classes and decided on Cleric. Now, Im not a good caster class type player. To be honest, Im not a player at all. Im just a Natalie. But thats besides the point. The point is, I suck at casters and I suck at healing. Im as happy to accidentally let someone die as I am to watch late night television. But, I have alot of Fighters. I have a few Monks. Artificers. Rogues. So, I decided a class that could heal its self would be nice. So I picked Cleric. But you already know that because I already told you so.
Next came Race. Not like the running one, but the kind where its like 'what is youre character?' kind of race. Well, Humans are fun! They get an extra Feat! Extra Feats are awesome! But theyre not a Human. So, no extra feat. No, my new Cleric was born from an Orc and a Human who decided they just couldnt resist each other sexually. Thus birthing my character, a female Half Orc. I like that word. "Birthing".
Next came the other stuff. Well, as you all know, I can be a lackwit. While I was making her, I gave her 18 Wisdom, which was good. Upped her Charisma to 8, which was good too. Pushed her Strength to 18, which was also good in the continuing line of good things that I did good. But accidentally put her starting Constitution at 12, which made me go 'Oh poopy!'. Thank goodness she can heal herself! It means the attributes taken at levels 4 & 8 will be Constitution and her next Feat level will be toughness. Speaking of Feats and Skills, her first Feat was Mental Toughness(I still didnt realize her CON was 12) and her lone Skill with points in it is Concentration. Which reminds me of the word 'castration' for some reason.
Lastly, I put the final touches on her. Made her look very pretty. She has White skinny skin skin. Pretty bright green eyes. Red Pony Tail. Earings and Tusks. Of course, I named here too! Cant enter the game without a name for some reason. Which is kinda odd. I mean, what if one of my characters wanted to be one of the unknown? But NOOOO! Turbine says NO! So I named her. Unlike the Paladin I killed, I actually remember what I named her! her name is: Meretelle An Trocaire. The 'o' is supposed to have an accent thing above it, but I cant figure out how to get that in here. And of course, no accented letters in the game.
While I was on her I did Korthos on Normal and a chunk of the level twos on Normal as well.

Been Away For Far Too Long
Okay, so, I noticed a few things while running around today.
1: Baudrys quest chain is still closed. Really. Its been, what? An age and a half now?
2: My HP regens only 1-2 points at a time now in town/tavern. When and why did this happen?!
3: My Mana regens only 5 points at a time now in town/tavern. Again, when and why did this change happen?!
4: Is it just me or have tomes gone up in price on the normal people Auction House?
As much as I love to run the Baudry Cartamon chain, I can live with it being closed. However, I dont quite understand why the amount of HP/Mana I regen while in town/tavern has been drastically reduced. I liked how it would return in a short time not this whole sliver at a time crap. Is it to make players spend more Platinum on the tavern foods? If so, thats a pretty shite way to go about doing it. And to be completly honest, Im not going to go for it either way. Its a waste of my Plat. I almost never have any large amount of Plat anyway and when I do, its because Im saving up for something important. Like tomes! For me, its a bother and I want it changed back to the way it was.
Epic Elite Burnout Mode X-treme
As you all know from one of my last blogs, I spent quite a bit of time on LotRO last month doing the Anniversary event. As I mentioned, I had quite a bit of fun. There seems to be a problem now though. Due to my going all kinds of OCD on the event trying to get every single item it had to offer, I kinda feel like Im in burnout mode with both DDO and LotRO. Even with the fun I had on my new Cleric today, I still had to drag myself onto the computer in order to play the game today because I wanted to play with Commie. Not that playing with him isnt fun, because it most certainly is, but its just that the amount of energy I spent on the event feels like its kinda taken a toll on my overall enjoyment level for the time being. I can play something like Left 4 Dead without issue but thats because its fast paced, intense and requires less energy and overall attention than LotRO and DDO. Im sure Ill get over it soon enough though.

Honey, I Killed The Moon
Well, thats all I can think of to write in this edition of the most famous Mizzablog. Hope it was an okay read. If, however, you do not feel satisfied at all with it, please contact your state representatives and/or the leaders of your current nation. If they fail to act in a 1.2 second fashion, please be sure to contact Turbine Community Specialists and alert them to your problem as ASAP as possible.
Take care everyone!!! BYE!!!

Are you still on LOTRO? I saw an early forum post by a DDO-playing mizza and then nothing. From memory, I saw a comment about not realizing that the LotR books are the absolute pinnacle of literature, so I kept quiet about it there. I burned out a bit there grinding for guild status (a bad idea if under level ~60) so have to go back and visit Moria.

Yeah I still play LotRO. That forum post was certainly me. The books bored me out of my skull. It's true.
DeleteProblems with the build? I'd be more upset with taking mental toughness: that's for wizards (PRE requirement), clerics need enhanced healing (but I doubt you want to turn it on until at least level 6). Did you take weapon proficiency: greataxe (or other two handed koboldwhackingdevice)? I looks like you took one of the veteran leapfrogging options, so I'm just guessing how many feats you have. My guild leader leveled a cleric up to level 18 before bothering to put on a constitution item (this was his first character and started out on the melee cleric path before leaving and eventually TRing), and after epic levels constitution is said to be even less of an issue. I'd expect you will eventually regret the enormous strength, but what's the fun of a half-orc if you can't max how far you can kick a kobold.

I have the ability to use vet 1 & 2 but I don't use them. I don't have any problems with the build. I don't use two handed weapons on my cleric. I took mental toughness because I wanted to be able to do more casting. I upped my STR as high as I did because I solo 99.99% of the time and having a character who can't smack hard would make things a pain in the butt end. In three years of playing DDO, I've never had a lvl 20 so my guess is it'll be an age before I have to even worry about what I get in epic levels. :)
DeleteAh yes - much better commenting section.
