This is a great guide and I appreciate the effort you have put into it. Probably the best PVE guide I've seen since Lia left the game.
I am personally not a fan of the set bonus of the Primal rings due to those rings only working when you kill enemies, meaning it only works in boss fights with adds (not as bad in Tomb, but still not my choice). The stats are quite good though.
@rjc9000 What does Neverwinter Label as beasts, while "animals" in general? -w-
Im in the same boat when it comes to rings Ive gotten only gotten 2x Krig and some of the other random useless Ostorian +5's and when it comes to demo Ive only ever gotten ambush's n' impene... Think I got 2-3x of both then decided to give up on that... Cx lol
I do like the way the hunts are only a certain type of ring, but I hate the rng(chance of it spawning, fine with that part) on rng(chance of it dropping said item... Hate this part...) on rng(loot from the kill, fine with this one too)... -w- So far from hours of farming certain hunt supplies the only one that seems reliable and not so trouble-some to farm are the Crabs.
Considering how much of a GWF's DPS is comprised of Aura of Courage (as much/more than Terror/Holy/Lightning... there is a reason why felt pen says GWF is CW with a sword) and how much Power you already get from Slam/Disciple of War, wouldn't it be more efficient to drop defensive Azures in favor of stuff which buffs your HP and Defense (Brutals or Draconics) to maximize your Aura of Courage DPS?
Of course, this assumes you run with an OP 24/7, but given that you're in one of the most prolific/richest Xbox guilds, I would guess that getting an OP is not much of an issue.
Never been the type to run three stat enchantments, may eventually sit down n' take a peek at em, but for now I could see the use of Brutals shouldn't make ya too much more squishy for Pug-esk content, don't wanna be a tr, or cw now do we? ;P Being able to survive a hit or two in end-game is always nice. ^-^
Once I do update the pictures a bit, my armor pen will be higher along with power will roughly be around 47k-ish, and base critical will be a bit lower than normal. -w- Still getting 100.1% Critical Chance so its fine. So in roughly another week ill have the full primal set, (Still really unsure with the helmet even though its still an improvement), the final Chult boon, I believe the 2x rp is soon so artifacts as well.(Console btw), then ill work on the defensive slots brutals afterwards.
Stronghold food, ill be adding shortly if I remember, after that ill probably find a place to add in the upcoming things. ^-^
p.s : mind explaining the steel blitz trick ? I tested it many times, and I can't understand what is this famous thing with lightning enchantment. steel blitz doesn't seem to proc the enchant nor the enchant seems to proc steel blitz.
Or maybe Gigantic for defense/hp/deflection but idk how is deflection on GWF.
When I'll be BiS I think I will swap offense Brutals to Black Ice. It's way better.
But that's just me, they may work well for you.
About deflect ... You may be right. Was just wondering how is GWF with this nonexistent stat.
Draconic Enchantments are a viable option if you do need the Lifesteal, but to my knowledge the Brutals HP would still be a bit more of a benefit, though I haven't had the time to take a look at the R14's. -w-
I hold back on switching most enchantments if you're on console, simply due to the changes you'll more or less focusing on upgrading things first, then worry about BiS. ^-^
Likely would be a mix between Azure/Brutals/Black Ice, still with the changes it may push the Black Ice a bit further away.
Either way simply put
12's are a bit messy... >.>
Comps Bondings/4x Brutals/Savage n' Vicious for R13
Comps Bondings/4x Brutals/2x Vicious for R14
Either way once your back to BiS you'll have around 115k-118k Power off ya self, n' 100% Crit n' 85% Armor Pen. : 3 It'll take me a bit to add cause I do wanna try to see if I can make the R12's Viable for those peeps, but like I said it's alittle messy. cx Either way those that read this like always focus your comp first n' foremost.
Though I may look into the other method of Brutals full backpage with some Demonics on the front. -w-
> Sorry, when I wrote the last I didn't realize you'd updated already. I've given it a once over, but need to read through it a little more carefully. As always, it looks good!
;P Just be weary of next module, I’ll be adding a Preview section to the build for the things I’m likely going to use. In due time~ cx Better Boon pictures for certain campaigns n’ figure out a way I can put da stats on show case to ya peeps, but I need to test the Base Attributes... cx Either the site I Use isn’t correct in the Base, or my Gwf needs a race reroll in da near further. ^•^ Either way I’ll test an alt here in a bit on rolls n’ see if they match up.
(Update~) I do need to update my Attribute Base~ cx Haven’t touche that in I dunno how long... •,• Either way a lil’ minor improvement for meh personally n’ gives me the Base Attribute to put in the Guide ^•^
