Great Show everyone and great to hear Jerry in a guest spot.
Samius your wish is granted but now taking a level in Wizard gives you a -2 to CON and all of your spells cast as slow as Mass Heal.
That only works as long as running out of HP doesn’t kill wizards.
And i hope having a low con/Hp is not subject to mocking.
first off great wishes everyone … i have long been an advocate for the lvl 5 raid with purple named ooze been asking for it since day one.
will reply longer in DDOcast forums but wanted to say something that i heard (and now have to reload the whole thing cause i wanted to comment on it)
conjuration is any spell that CONJURES something … so summoning spells but i dont believe that orb spells are conjuration i believe they are evocation cause you evoce a damaging power.
Magic:Acid Orb
Conjuration Acid

The caster targets a single creature with an acid orb that deals 1d6/level damage, to a maximum of 15d6, stunning the target for 1 round on a failed save.
Really? I thought warmages could only cast evocation spells and orb spells are on there list ???? wish i had my books with me at work 😛
anyway … with lessah taking lead i think you two talked the same amount .. only thing i find now is that lessah is a bit too loud had to turn it down when she was talking and turn it up when you or jerry was talking (jerry was low low .. ended up rewinding like 4 times to hear his wish)
best show so far keep it up … and i totally get why people love lessahs laugh … very cute.
Well 1, teach you to think. http://www.spelldb.com/showSpell.php?class=48 the Warmage spell list. A lot of those spells are not evocation spells.
2 the lead is more who drives the conversation, and Lessah did a great job. But in a show where you have talking points you want to talk about someone needs to drive from point to point.
Yeah, It is a sype issue that I have yet to sort out. I have to tweak the sound post-edit so it’s more streamlined. I monkeyed with the sound this time on my end, but I think I went the wrong way! I’ll get it sorted someday!
Don’t Yank the Clank! I tweeted in with my wish for a blade barrier in the shape of a trapezoid. But then I was left on the cutting room floor. Don’t Yank the Clank!
Another great podcast joins the web!
@Jerry: Dude, my wife and I just got into Glissade a few weeks ago. You know, the label, which you read, describes the beer perfectly. It’s definitely a winner. We pay $7.50 in Sac, Ca. What did you throw down for it? If you like a hoppy beer, try their Torpedo brew… btw, I definitely like the Glissade better, but Torpedo has the higher alc per vol 😀
Sorry to disappoint you, but Aerian is just a plain cleric. She’s also just joined the Build Guild 🙂
I am indeed planning on a drow wizard with the favor I’ve just earned, who I’m sure will love it 🙂
hahahaha! Why did I think she was a ranger pally? I need glasses! Welcome to the build guild!!!
Awesome show guys! once again it just goes to prove that a little alcohol makes things more fun. (we do not condone gaming and drinking) who was that guest guy? he sounded familiar… fun fun show.
oh and its official I am fan #3. confirmed by Lady Lessah herself.
Go CLANKY: Trapezoid Blade Barriers for the WIN!!
@Ryan – Cool! Yeah, ’twas a good beer, quickly diminished to nothingness times six…
I’m pretty sure I paid $7.99 for it here in MN. I’m always looking for good new beers to try, I’ll check out the recommendation!
Favorite remains Wells Bombardier.

If not already doing so, and you are using a DAW such as Audacity or Reaper, you should look into using a compression on the master channel that will both boost low db and limit high db.
Sorry if too technical. I can send you a few tutorial links if you like.
Love the show, and am looking forward to the next one!!
Hiya!
I use Goldwave and until recently… had not been equalizing volume. Goldwave DOES have this feature which I am using now for future shows, but it seems like it looses a little bit of sound quality which I do not like. But alas… what can you do! Thanks for the tip!
Love the show but it’s missing something… Hmmmmm… needs more Clanky.
