DDO Cocktail Hour Episode 56, Tank Talk
Welcome to the DDO Cocktail Hour where we discuss the social aspects of Dungeons and Dragons Online, Eberron Unlimited. This week we welcome special guest Tobril to the show! The team talks about what it means to be a tank in DDO as well as the different ways you can be tank and some basics of building, feats, and playstyle. Listen as Lessah repeatedly picks fights with Samius Gurobo over fighter feats and starting stats! Listen to find out how a half-orc pants are directly related to his/ her intimidate score! Also…any time Lessah uses the phrase “I am a fan…” you must take a drink if you are over 21 and NOT DRIVING! Thanks so much for listening!

Did you guys realize you just made the top 10 list on CyberEars.com?
OMG!!!! Wow wow wow!!!!!
I just… I can’t even… wow! I need a moment!
Congrats on the top ten. It is well deserved. Maybe you should stop overachieving and stop talking about serious stuff. (whisper)-People are noticing. Lol
Good Point! I had planned on another topic like this one for next week, but now I am thinking that I should table that idea in favor of HARRY FREAKING POTTER! (and other things like Rudolph the Red Nosed Winter Wolf!)
Paladins can self-cast owl’s wisdom with a base WIS score of 12 and boot-strap themselves through pots with 10. Even if you don’t want to rely on gear to cast, you don’t need a full 14 wisdom on a pally.
