  • That's it, sink that lifeboat. Barkshield sucks, this sucks, that sucks. But don't improve them, make Negation suck. Hurrrrrr.
  • Well you further reinforced my argument. . .Specific build and play style with all your passives, feats and boons syncing up. An unbuffed Anvil of Doom against a healthy target is nothing special. My Tactician cannot do that and nor can a Protector.
  • How many people crying about the Negation have Barkshields or abused Bloodthefts? Wouldn't be surprised if it is most of them. Your ex-OP enchant is now useless, you can't sell it, so you have a cry about another one that works. Swamp the lifeboat so everyone drowns mindset.
  • I don't believe your 100k Anvil at at 50 - 60% HP. Please go back and read my extensive response to the first video posted. Lothor runs a very specific build and plays it to maximise damage. I know, because he has killed my Tactician numerous times and I know exactly what he is doing. He turtles at the start of the fight,…
  • I can also link a video of a CW destroying one of the best PVP GFs with ease.
  • Thanks. Forgot to mention that as well. Pretty average encounter until your opponent is in trouble health-wise.
  • It is stronger and in a very good place, but they are not immortal or OP. They take some time to die, but it is a tank, it should take time to die. Offensively we got a base weapon damage buff (something we've needed since Mod 2), but aside from that our offensive feats have remained the same for 2 mods now, they just…
  • That is an extremely well-geared Conqueror. On top that; 1- After sustaining 5 hits he has a 20% damage buff and a 10% crit buff due to his capstone feat 2 - He is using Into the Fray, which means he is boosting his damage by 25% x 25% x 25% x 25% of his damage resistance. 3 - He has Combat Superiority passive slotted,…
  • It isn't just the slowness. Sometimes it won't even activate even when the animation kicks in. Your toon raises shield, the stamina bar doesn't move and you eat 100% of the damage. It also drops for no reason sometimes, so you block then the next second you are being battered while holding shift. Shield is problematic.
  • I too was tempted to try a OP, but the grind has put me off, especially the 60 - 70 grind and the end game gearing process. If I do roll another character it will be a full-blown Protector GF. I'll probably start as a Conqueror to speed up the leveling and complete as many PVP quests as I can, then respec to Protector. On…
  • No, not really. But I still think it is a brainless play style that will just maintain the levels of hate directed at the class.
  • The return of the semi/perma stealth? And in my experience it is already happening. Gloaming Cut-spamming shadows are cropping up everywhere.
  • Shield is a lot better in terms of its duration, but it is still very buggy. Even though you are a Conqueror, in a dungeon run I'd drop Trample the Fallen and Combat Superiority in favour of Guarded Assault and Shield Talent. Guarded Assault was buffed a few mods ago so it does a good amount of reflective damage when you…
  • GG, guys. 2 of the major bugs I wanted fixed have come through. RIP T.Bloodtheft abusers (I hope I come across the GWF that thought he had mad skillz because of it) and no more Oppressive Force spamming because of the DC bug.
  • +1 I can and do overlook gear if you are at least trying to play with your head. I have been there, starting off with terrible gear, but I still didn't persist on playing like a nublet and ignore the advice of experienced players. However, if the 3 of you with your level 55 non-PVP greens insist on running to 1 and dying…
  • Incomparable to what it used to be. I could easily hit the daily refining cap from 2x PVP dailies and a handful of dungeon runs. Unless you have established yourself as a crafter, you can pretty much say goodbye to AD.
  • Yes, at 70 you get a daily glory bonus and your seal.
  • I have been in that position. I've ended up in matches with players from the top-tier PVP guilds and I have listened to what they say. If what you are doing has failed for 12-minutes why would you not finally listen to what someone else has been saying? There may be many strategies, but 3v1 at home is not one of those.…
  • I'm pretty sure that winning a GG match count towards your daily Battlemaster ''quest'' of winning a PVP match.
  • Damage soaks and buff bots are what people are looking for. It is true, all three paths work, but putting 5 - 15 points in to the Protector tree to eek out max survivability won't be a bad idea. You can easily reach the capstone feats in the Tactician and Conqueror trees while picking up some valuable defensive feats from…
  • Cockatrices ensure I will never, ever take part in a mass IWD event.
  • Sure, I used Draconic Templar on my GF when I solo'd, but when it came to a dungeon Knight's Captain won hands down. KV active would keep the set buff up 100% of the time once it procced. Draconic Templar and the Corrupted/Purified sets were good alternatives, but the bonuses of the stalwart sets were far superior when it…
  • I get that removing AD/rewards will lower the population, but using my example (and I know many others have experienced this in PVP) we are talking about quantity and not quality with the rewards in place. I managed 4 PVP matches in an hour and 3 of those matches had me camping within 5 minutes and one of them caused me to…
  • PVP-spec does indeed exist: Tenacity, ability rolls and gear that favour defense over offense.
  • There was never any variety. . . CWs used High Vizier DCs used High Prophet GWFs used Avatar of War GFs used Knight's Captain The above went of for the better part of 2 years.
  • Yes, a CW standing on mid spamming Oppressive Force because of an AP DC is not game-breaking at all. A SM GF in a permanent state of damage immunity (Steel Defense) and CC immunity (Villain's Menace), no problem. That is actually funny in a sad way.
  • I'm a GF and I think the damage is stupid in many cases. With my massive cast times on key powers - I'm looking at you, Fighter's Recovery - even the most innocuous enemy can blow my doors clean off. If I am at 50 - 60% HP I have to be wary of Black Dragonwings in their small form. Sure, I can solo WOD but I have to do it…
  • I think he means the IV GF needs love as it is supposedly the tanking paragon yet the SM GF, supposedly the DPS paragon, is the superior tank thanks to a class feature.
  • Well, between Mods 2 and 4 semi and perma-stealthing was a TRs only real option in PVP. With the Mod 5 buff it wasn't a necessity, with the Scoundrel's T1 survival feats and the Sabo's Shady Preparations being excellent options as well, so there was a trade off involved. Now, if you don't invest too heavily in to the Exe…
  • How do I L2P against a class I've never played? It is very easy to say don't do this or don't do that, but the class is two weeks old and something I've never never played and probably won't due to the amount of grinding this game now needs. I don't know what their powers look like. Yes, sometimes it kills me and I have no…
