SW or CW better for end game content?

bshawnsam23

OK so I've played the game for awhile I have a hr to 70 a cw to 70(just recently)
And my SW is lvl 12 just started.

My question is for the end game content dungeons skirmishes etc. Which is the better character/ more survivability for the t2 dungeons my CW 2300 ilvl dies quick but I know it needs some work.

A sw is one of the best dps's with the right team so I would say go with him. The cw's are not really the greatest of damage dealers... Used to be.

I know awhile back cw demolished everything idk much about SW but I've heard it does good DPS and heals a little at same time idk though.

Does any SW users have any input?

It honestly just depends what your goal is?

Do you want to just be straight DPS and do a lot of damage in groups? Then SW is for you. Note this though SW by themselves are weak their skills and mechanics are buggy and when they are in a group that buffs (GFs/DCs) their damage sky rockets and scales insanely. It also is inconsistent.

However, this is a bug and the devs said SW are going to be reworked. Which means their damage with buffs will more than likely be toned down but I do see an improvement to their base damage.

CWs are in a bad spot right now one of their best feats for damage dealing was nerfed with an internal cool down because of the Lostmauth set, well now lostmauth set doesn't even crit so will they take away that nerf they made specifically because of the LM set? Probably not CWs also need a buff as their damage isn't too great and control is basically useless in end game PvE.

CWs are still great team players if they roll MoF Renegade as they can buff party damage quite a lotallowing for speed clears of dungeons.

I've played CW for a while & I personally like the class and they are decent 'all rounders' once you can negate their squishiness. In solo content he hits a lot harder than my SW.

The SW however turns into a monster when grouped up in a dungeon. That really off-sets the difference & will make getting into groups a lot easier for runs so will earn you more AD.

Old Muffins in the post above isn't happy about the broken mechanics. Understandable, but this game has bugs that go on for months & months. You can roll with it and profit - or not. There is a promised class review somewhere on the horizon but as we'll most likely get a free respec when it drops, my suggestion for an easy life is 'go with what works' otherwise you're like a healadin at the beginning of this mod: yeah it does what you'd expect, "But Where's The Bubble!".

I get that m8, I used to pvp every day but I haven't done it since Christmas now. There's just nothing good left in it.

Most people play pvp for those rare 'good matches' where it's a real fight on both sides and you have to step your game up to win. It is now so riddled with problems from class balance, invisibility rings, drains etc etc that there's just no point.

The endgame groups I run with seek out GWFs and SWs for DPS and buff/debuff GF + DC for tanking and support.

Heals, unfortunately, are not needed at this moment in endgame content.

The fifth party member will either be another buff/debuff DC (preferable) or a full buff/debuff Master of Flame CW.

These combinations are a recipe for meltage.

Not really meltage there. Real meltage is using buff-debuff DC, GF (buff), and 3 SW using broken tactics. That will melt everything technically. But its a cheap way to play, mainly because of the broken SW.

I did a few guild etos runs yesterday - DC, GF, 2 x SW and a GWF. The GWF is 4k and my SW had trouble keeping up as everyone was moving so fast - lol
