2x Guild marks and the New Content Storm King's Thunder

pr3stigex

I'm assuming that they through a 2x guild marks so everyone would buy Dragon Flight armor, this makes me think we will be getting new armor in The Storm Kings Thunder...Discuss.

Also regarding the new content I believe the new level dungeon will be behind a campaign grind wall such a ELOL, Shores, and Demo are. If this is so, and the drops are unbound, this may be the most exciting time since mod5. lol

"This dungeon is meant to be a challenge and will give you access to the newest, and (for their slots) best gear in the game so far."

The for their slot makes me wonder if its artifact rings or weps again LOL

Yea that what prompted this thread. To guess what kind of HAMSTER they will pull lol

I think the 2x Guild Marks was presented, along with the Zen Store Stronghold % discount(s), to encourage guild members to donate to their coffers.

Why?

Coffer donations = more structures = higher Guild Hall =

Alliances.

cscriv79

= more money spent on Zen to increase guild

d4rkh0rs3

Yes, discounts are generally offered to promote an increase in sales.

Not sure if they'd do weapons since it'll ruin masterworking, unless that means a re-work of that kind of profession. ;p

Not to mention 3 classes get a 'rebalance' with the update - the SW, DC & GF. As most 'rebalances' are anything but balanced I'm interested to see how they'll make them worse.

Balance aka nerf. Hah

Yes very true, I would say rings but then they would have to be pretty special rings to get people to swap from those Underdark stealth rings etc.

although they released new shirt and pants with underdark, perhaps more shirt and pants.

No, man. The announcement did not even mention the devotec cleric, its the hunter rogue that gets balanced instead.

What's wrong with the cleric.

Well, On PC the divine version of astral shield lasts as long as the original skill, not on xbox though, there it does not even last for 1 second.

The cleric has a heroic feat called "Initiate of the faith" a x/5 feat. If 5/5 - Your crit stat is increased by 1% of your power stat.
Now do the math. lets say you had 40K power, then you gained an amazing 400 crit which is +1% crit chance. Yeah, who does not want to spend 25% of his heroic feat points to gain less than 1% crit chance?

This certain daily skill of the paladin which looks like a mix of hallowed ground and astral shield lasts twice as long as hallowed ground and as far as I know the paladin can gain action points while it is active, the cleric, however, cannot gain action points while hallowed ground is active. Not that important but remember we are talking about "balance".

The cleric has 3 encounter powers that pretty much have the same effect if fully empowered, "break the spirit", "Forgemasters Flame" and "Exaltation". "Break the spirit" is the best one out of those 3 because it buffs the dmg output of the whole group by 30% which is twice as much than the other both do and "Exaltation" is only a single-target skill. Because "Break the spirit" is far better than "Forgemaster Flame" and "Exaltation", the latter are next to useless.

There should still be more that I am not even aware of.

The astral shield lasting on the ground when empowered was a early mod thing that has been patched forever. The circle the paladin has only affects the paladin.

I was told by friends that the paladins skill buffs the crit severity and crit chance of anyone that stands on it by 15% each.

pr3stigex

nope

kuero21

Hmm, what is that skill actually called? Just checked the feat calculator but cant figure out which skill it actually is.

pr3stigex

circle of power
