DDO - Dungeons and Dragons Online
I play on Ghallanda.

I finally hit upon a good build that I like. With Ranger's Two-Weapon Fighting, Weapon Finesse, Oversized Two-Weapon Fighting, Aerenal Elf Melee Damage (rapiers), and 26 DEX, I am more than capable in melee. I also found a +1 Rapier of Backstabbing, so it is almost like playing a Rogue. I am also still handy with a bow - a critical easily hits upwards of 30 damage even on Hard, and a normal shot will severely wound or kill most things on Solo difficulty. Also, Composite Longbows are lol distance sniping. Hell, I don't even have Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, or Bow Strength yet!
 * Cia Chulainn - level 3 Ranger

As much as I enjoy two-weapon melee, and even though Elves are naturally resistant to Fear etc., I am going to go "Deepwood Sniper" for the Move Silently/Hide/Spot bonuses. The "Sniper Shot" also fits well with my style of play. Sneak up to within 30 feet of an enemy to trigger Point Blank Shot, and then use Sniper Shot...if there's such a thing as a "Bow of Backstabbing", that would also be awesome. Also, while playing on Hard I learned that despite high Reflex saves, I'm still fairly squishy. So I think two-weapon frontline wouldn't go over so well later on in the game, especially solo.

I honestly don't like playing DDO Rogues. They are pretty bad at soloing (fragile, don't fight particularly well) and the people I play with already have someone willing to Rogue for them. In World of Warcraft, the Rogue can be a decent solo, since they are really more like "Assassin" class and get some kickass deadly abilities (not just passives)...in DDO, unless you are speccing in particular for Assassin enhancement (thereby gimping your groupability value because of bad open lock/disable device), you'll never be better than mediocre, especially since Sneak Attack really relies on having someone draw aggro away.
 * Sharasa Chulainn - level 1 Paladin

Therefore I decided to just make one "for fun" character, who will mostly be for solo. Paladin is one of the best for this, having both good fighting ability and defense, as well as some damn powerful heals and buffs. Paladins are a welcome addition to any group because of Aura of Good and stuff, too, so if I want to I can still be an asset.

But perhaps more importantly, Paladin complements my Ranger character because any heavy armor/large weapons she finds can be send to the Paladin, and vice versa for ranged weapons and light weapons. This means it should be much easier to equip myself, and I won't "waste" so many things by merching them.

PROJECT
Personally review all skill pages, fix the notes and trivia and other random problems.

I am mostly just doing the Notes and Trivia sections, but I also clean up Acquisiton if I can. However since I'm not explicitly paying attention to that part, I might miss something there.

I am NOT touching the "Related skills" or "Related Articles" sections because those are generally highly subjective and not really worth my time.
