I just hope my friend Toy gets unbanned. All she does is play the Auction House and supply our guild with money. It's just kind of what she enjoys to do on MMOs. The gameplay is more of a side event for her. The thing is, she didn't engage in any exploiting. She had a crapload of AD from opening about 500 Nightmare…
Guardian Fighter, meet Duelist's Flurry. Oh, you are going to attempt to knock me on my ***? Meet Impossible to Catch. Excuse me, if you attempt to flee, you must meet Impact Shot. What's that? How could I forget my old friend Path of the Blade, killing you the entire time. We will mourn you, Guardian Fighter.
Path of the Blade + Greater Tenebrous Enchantments = win. Protip. Also, I prefer Shadow Strike to Bait and Switch because SS refills your stealth bar even if you're already out of stealth, whereas BaS only works if you're still in stealth. Path of the Blade is our best PvP encounter, hands down. It's underused because…
Human or Half-Orc. Human for the extra 3 feat points, which mean a lot in the last tier of Heroic Feats (lets you get 5/5 for 20% longer stealth and 3 points for Disciple of Strength). Half-Orc for the racials. Or, roll what you want because you like the race. :P
A lot of good players (CW especially) will aoe/pushback if they think someone is stealthed near them which will probably break your stealth. The best way to dish out great damage while remaining stealthed in PvP is to land a volley of Cloud of Steel on them. The range of the daggers is nice, and the damage is great even…
So your solution is to nerf rogues? CW would still stomp you. Honestly, GWF needs a buff. Don't start whining for other classes to be nerfed because yours is underpowered. If anything, they need to add 200% hp to PvP. Everything dies too fast.
I'll say this: armor penetration is grossly underestimated in this game. PvP especially. I like Plaguefire for weapon enchants. Haven't tested enough armor at the moment.
My gripe has been the lack of information made available regarding the patch from the beginning. If it was truly a fix to the defense game mechanic, then we need to KNOW that to prevent rampant speculation and things like this from happening. I've been testing it as well and it seems you're correct. Unfortunately, I…
Wow. This thread has really degenerated into adolescent <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>-tossing. Once again, most of us don't mind the nerf -- we can adjust. The problem is that no patch notes were released and we don't know exactly what was changed, hindering our ability to adjust properly. The problem is that it sets…
I actually did purchase the Guardian pack and it's not a part of my forum ID. Not sure if you have to claim it on the forums or something, or if it's just some kind of bug. No reason for me to lie about it though and I imagine that guy's having the same problem.
Once again, I have no gripe with the nerf. My gripe is with the precedent this sets. Also, I feel for you GWF guys. You're dramatically underpowered at present. But the problem with this kind of balancing (without patch notes even, for god's sake) is that it only leads to further balancing and adjustments in the future.…
Implying that this will be the only time they do it to any class, ever? I don't know if you played Champions Online, but this was the sort of thing that obliterated its initial player base.
I was referring to PvP. I'll say it again: I have no gripe with the nerf to Lashing Blade. My issue is with the precedent this sets: that major, class-changing alterations will be made and we will have to keep tossing out 6 dollars to attempt to experiment with adjustments.
Please see the TR board for proof, or, you know, play one at level 60. I'm not a troll and it's certainly been nerfed. Lashing Blade was critting for 10k+ if properly executed with the Executioner build, now it hits for like 4k crit with 100% crit severity.
Not getting defensive, just trying to explain to get rid of misinformation. Shocking Execution hits for like 5-8k if your health is around 70% or above, which would be significantly less than Ice Knife (for example). If it's used from stealth and it crits on someone with 50% health or lower, it should kill you. It takes…
Apparently, Trickster Rogue was ninja nerfed overnight? Is this true? I've got to be mistaken about this, surely. For those who are wondering what a 'ninja nerf' might be, I mean a change to the class' powers (damage or functionality, damage in this case) that is done without any notification via patch notes or even a…
Lashing Blade ain't what it used to be, it seems. Might be time to try out that increased stealth time/Path of Blades build strawbz posted. I'm still doing quite well in PvP with the hybrid burst build though. I've been able to maintain a positive K/D ratio, even in games where my team gets absolutely facerolled. I'm just…
1) It's a daily. It's a daily in which the damage scales with how much health remains on someone's bar. Even if it said it hit you for 1,000,000, it would have the same effect as hitting you for 5k most of the time. Also, I've never seen it hit for more than like 18-20k in PvP (on guys with like 10% health left). The 47k…
