Cryomancer
Arcane
I played a lot DDO and played the hardcore league multiple times, always die in mid levels but most people that I see palying this game barely get into lv 5. When you die, a message is shown to the server, so I can say by sure that over 95% of the DDO population, my last character died as a 12th level frost sorcerer and later reincarnated into Pale Master Wizard in Argo. Since I only play as arcane caster, I decided to try the warlock with carceri storm pact. Not because is the strongest class DDO changes how eldritch blast damage is calculated. In 3.5e and 5e, the damage is pure force, in DDO, a part of the damage is pure force and a part is based on your pact, eg - field = fire, fey = sonic, great old one = acid.
Warlocks are not simialr to 3.5e nor to 5e in DDO.
That said, here is my white dragonborn warlock
The first thing which I did was the tutorail and was annoying to do it as I din't knew how to remove the stupid messages showing obvious stuff.
Initially, I just did the quests in noob Island in normal/hard/elite and the Keep of the borderlands quests. They gave a lot of good items and item progression. Nothing noteworth to say except that thanks to the detect hidden door spell, I could skip a very annoying puzzle in total chaos. The puzzle is not hard, is just that my hireling keeps pressing buttons. After it, reached lv 4 and started to do the quests in sewers to level up quickly.
While questing, (I'm not stupid to do reaper quests in hardcore, at maximum, I do elite), I lost my hireling and almost got OHKilled by a fire trap
But got lucky and stabilized my health in the stabilization roll and instead of trying to complete the quest, Just gave up and as I was close to leveling up, decide to repeat some quests to level up quickly and avoid more risks. After it, reached lv 7 and did some house Jorasco quests. Did most quests except the Library quest cuz I din't had protection vs ohk spell and one "red" enemy casts it there.
After it, did some very long quests and got into lv 9
And got Creeping Cold, a great DoT. Maximized + Empowered it + Maximized empowered Consume can be quite deadly.
At lv 10, if I live enough to reach it, I wil lget Evard's Black Tentacles. One of the best spells of the game.
Later I will update. Lets see how far I can get in this char.
