Just add this to the ever increasing pile of unresolved bugs & issues I'm feeling very foolish supporting this game with a $30 purchase.. I can only imagine how some of the $200 founders must be feeling.
Sorry for the thread derail... but u wot m8? Prot wars were literally the ONLY viable end-game tank in Vanilla. Anyways, back on topic - my GWF is geared for t2s and waiting patiently on a shelf - to be dusted off if Cryptic pull a rabbit out of the hat with the next patch.
That's not it then.. at 59 you are working as intended 55,56,57.. and worst of all 58 would have you hitting like a kitten.. tooltip for encounters is around 40% of normal value when scaled from x8 to x9. It's a huge bug.. and quite frankly it's ridiculous that it has lasted so long in game
GWF is fine.. devs had an extensive look at potions chugged while leveling and addressed class balance using this flawless metric. working as intended.
It's pretty damning evidence, as to the future of this game, that this issue STILL hasn't been addressed. lvls x5 - x8 are a waste of time pvping, your character is flat-out broken until hitting x9 again.
