Yes. I'm getting "Unable to establish connection to Patch Server..."

When mod 6 began I struggled with my archer and decided to turn her into a trapper and I hated it so I bit the bullet and went full archer again. What worked for me solo wise was stacking HP and running with a healer companion (I use angel). In groups as long as a capable tank is pulling the aggro it's pretty easy to put…
-
I use lifedrinker currently although I've tried terror and plague but between other alts with needs and the initial state of tanking for mod 6 my GF has been in a semi-active state so he gets the leftovers. I'll probably go back to plague at some point tho. Something about the dots seemed more satisfying than using a…
-
I actually use ROA instead of marauders, same as my archer but the intent being to close the gap whereas I keep the distance with archer. Use cordon to bunch them at a distance, roa to burst em then close and use either fox, plant growth or rain of swords depending on how the mobs are grouped/dispersed. Swords will proc…

There is something going on with damage at, least with combat wrt to arp. I was looking through ACT parses last night and my average effectiveness was like 70% - 73% vs lowly garden variety trash moblets and I know that can't be right because my RI is like 59%!! My other toons see an effectiveness value usually >100% with…

I hoarded a bunch of XP tomes for my GWF main prior to this mod and spent some time running around Drowned Shore but once I realized you only really needed Spinward for the Arti-weapon I adjusted everything. So she skipped straight to there once eligible and grinded out the zone. By the time she was done my 3 other played…

Talking to Knox when you hit 70 gets the offhand. You get a quest from the Druid in Spinward Rise after completing all the Vigilance tasks for the mainhand.
-
Yay! Thanks for this thread. I switched my longtime sw/archer to pf/trapper after getting my face stomped in a few times at 70 and I just hate it. I mean the control is great and all but I still die the same when enemies sneeze on me plus I miss the big orange floaty numbers which come in handy fighting elites. Trappers…
-
Haven't even got to epic dungeons yet as I'm still building but my DPS in skirmishes has been somewhat ridiculous but..... Ran Kessel's for the first time last night, no tank and for the last fight I had battle fury, daring shout, restoring strike, bravery and avalanche of steel slotted. Basically run in take a swipe and…
-
Kinda in the same boat. I've joined plenty of legit groups in the past but with this mod I just got my main to 70 and still trying to get the mainhand. I'm at least gonna get my GF to the same spot and maybe one of my Hrs but right now there just aren't enough hours in my day to keep up it seems. Tbh I really don't want to…
-
Just to add to what bronto111 posted, left is epic. right is Zen store. Upgrading makes the active worse apparently.
-
I haven't seen the blacksmith active proc once on my GF since the new mod and mine is only at epic. I use ACT as well and nothing shows up for Forge Fire currently not even 0 damage. Looking at the description in the pics, did they change the way this companion works and not bother posting it in the patch notes???? I…
-
I've run into this in dragon fights, Rothe Valley and Neverdeath specifically. Popping unstoppable at the beginning of the fight just fine until at some point the bar just sits there full no matter what. Eventually it starts working again but it's not like a 5 second lag stoppage, it's more like minutes where nothing that…
-
1) GWF (SM/Destro) - My main since mod 3. Unless they're completely unplayable in this new mod she'll still get the most playtime. 2) GF (SM/Conq) - Initially made him to help rescue queue for guildies and legit but ended up gearing and spending a lot of trial and error time to get him where I wanted. The queue priority is…
-
My first GWF was IV, my 2nd is SM and she's since gone on to be my main while the IV is just a leadership mule. Personally, I just don't like IV mechanics. As SM you can keep WMS for AOE and SS for ST slotted and really not have to think about switching at-wills although one certainly could. I'd like to use wicked strike…
-
Plaguefire is a viable alternative imo. Not sure if it's considered a budget enchant for your purposes but I know it's cheaper than vorpal usually. You won't see the big crit numbers but from my experience the DPS difference isn't that dramatic however it's been a while since I compared both so results may vary. Plus PF…
-
I have an sw/archer and an sw/combat HR. Both are fun to play for different reasons. In groups if you're able to fire unmolested archers can put up some pretty stupid DPS numbers but good luck running anything with all DPS parties as you'll most likely pull all the aggro and archers are squishy. One thing I've been working…
-
I'd actually like to see some kind of optional switch on/off metric that accounted for player history like successful dungeon runs, skirmishes, Tiamats, time in game, what-have-you and still allow player inspection of gear without showing the numbers but I suspect that would lead to another kind of snobbery and probably be…
-
I gave up on AOW during mod 3 and went for CBI because DPS has never been a problem on my SM/Destro but squishiness has, with the occasional one-shot instagib when sprint fails to sprint plus I liked farming Kessell's for easy RP and am not the type that likes switching sets all the time. Also I'm not really a fan of glass…
-
Huh. The only time I have issues with my HR is when there's no melee and I end up having to "tank". Since I'm an archer spec that feels right to me. DPS has never been a problem. Only thing that bothers me aside from agreeing on the StS cast time, is tab feels unpredictably, unresponsive sometimes. I'll switch and have to…
-
Have you looked at the numbers tho? I can crit for 90k on binding shot (although I only slot it when I want the regen and for party buff) StS averages 3.5k a hit for me and most Ive seen is high side of +20kish of course this is all contingent on the mobs actually attacking and the party keeping the fight under it so it's…
-
Enemies have to attack you or your party members for StS to do damage tho. If you're with a good cw mobs will be frozen, stunned or dead while you're still in the cast animation. 2 cws, forget about it. I guesstimate that I can fire a hindering and a disruptive shot in the time it takes to get StS up (if it's not…
-
My damage parses have never shown StS to outdps targeted encounters like binding arrow or hindering shot so I usually slot hindering or fox shift depending on whether or not the ads focus me, if I need extra healing etc. I use StS when there isn't a cw or I feel like more control is needed. Thorn ward almost never leaves…
-
I suspect you're referring to me? :D My main issue with my HR is squishiness so I gave corrupt BI a go since it made a huuuge difference on my GWF's survivability and the stats lined up perfectly but I found myself dying more even tho my DPS more or less remained the same which made it not good enough to justify the…
-
Oh I don't have any issues either. It's actually kinda fun to see all the numbers popping up, the screen shaking and whatnot. I just don't appreciate being told to play my toon a certain way by people that I've never met and that have never seen me play. No one has ever ASKED me to switch on KV, no when they mention it…
-
I don't mind using KV on my SM/Conq and can do it through most content, even ESOT and it goes with my build rather well but it's really annoying when the run hasn't even started and people are screaming at me how to tank. I could see if things were going horribly and it was offered as a suggestion but if I haven't even…
-
Ran Esot in a queue group the other day. We get to the boss, everyone dies except me and a tr and we end up doloing the dude from 3/4 health. Boss drops a purple class item, wasn't my class so I didn't pay attention to the particulars. Everyone rolls greed except the TR who starts sending me tells to kick everyone else…
-
I'm having a similar issue on my HR. When I go to respec all my heroic feats are allocated and there are 5 points in Stormcaller's Arrow. I can allocate the remaining feat points but they never stick.
-
I love how the HEs encourage more open coop play than pretty much any of the other zones. The encounter difficulty is nice too because facerolling is boring and tbh had me rethinking and reslotting different powers to figure out what worked best instead of using my standard loadouts. It's also really cool to see…
