Hello everyone!

I believe there is a serious lack of Guardian Fighter gameplay videos from the beta for newcomers to see! If you have recorded some footage from the last beta weekend or find some other great videos from other people, post them here and I'll try to keep the OP up-to-date. These should be Guardian Fighter videos ONLY for now, and once we start seeing GWF in the betas, there will be links for those here as well. Enjoy, and get stoked!

    That German video is awesome! I wonder what the class ability is? It was kind of hard to read but when he moused over some of the daily skills I think it said that it would do more damage if Rage was full? And there was something else about speeding the swing of your weapon, maybe rage has something to do with that?

    At 1:01:01 the daily power Spinning Strike says that his *something* Speed is increased but I can't make out what it says.

    Looking more closely at the video it looks like a couple skills increase "Determination" that sounds like it could be the class skill, unless it's a stat that I am unaware about, I'm not really familiar with D&D rules and stats.

    For some reason, the Great Weapon Fighter is the only class that doesn't show up in any gameplay videos other than the 1 1/2 minute long introduction video. So I was pretty excited to watch this German video posted here. After viewing it, I must say that was the most frustrating video I ever experienced. I can't believe just how bad the guy was at playing the the GWF. He only used 1 attack about 95% of the time, never upgraded his gear and never really showed the other abilities. A few times he's swinging his weapon at the air and is clearly out of range of the enemy. He popped his daily 3 times total and one of which he used it and didn't move the character around to hit enemies, he stood completely still. I managed to get a glimpse of the abilities and their description by using the pause button, but he has way too much fun moving the cursor around really fast.

    Yeah, I couldnt bring myself to watch the entire video because he was playing extreeeemely badly. Not that I have played the game or anything, but its as if he wasnt even really trying to do what the GWF is intended to do..

    Apparently, only the Control Wizard will be making an appearance in the next beta. Take a look at the Neverwinter facebook page for this devastating news.

    Copied from my post on a different thread about the Greatweapon Fighter livestream video from Germany:


    That video was an awful demonstration of the class.

    The guy playing never equipped ANY items, including his off-hand sword knot, his upgraded weapon, or upgraded armor. He was still wearing the statless starter gear, which means his damage was hugely lowered compared to if he'd equipped the much superior stuff you get from the first couple of quests. He almost never used his encounter powers at all, only about five times each over the course of the entire hour-plus of gameplay. He didn't use his daily until an hour in, and then he was filling his action points very slowly because he wasn't using encounters and was doing way nerfed damage still.

    If he'd had his proper gear on, and used his encounter powers all the time, and used his daily every other fight (as he could have, if he'd been doing the previous two things), you would have seen a whole different look at the class. The Greatweapon Fighter would have been annihilating things.

    I paused and read the tooltips for a lot of the powers, and they look amazing. First encounter power is a charge that goes through foes in the way and damages everyone along the path, with a short cooldown and it's going to have multiple uses as you level up. Second one is a frontal cone high damage blast that knocks back (and can push enemies off of platforms or cliffs) and interrupts everyone in front of you.

    The level 7 encounter power is a single big hit that heals you for the damage dealt, which is like the awesome Fighter's Recovery daily power for the Guardian, but this is usable once every 15 seconds. That's incredibly good. I have no doubt that as long as you dodge or interrupt big splat attacks, and use that encounter power when available to take care of all the other miscellaneous damage, the Greatweapon Fighter should have no more need for healing potions than any of the other classes we've played so far. (Which is to say, no need at all the majority of the time.)

    And that at-will cleave of the Greatweapon is MASSIVE, a way bigger area than the Guardian's at-will. Plus the charge-up at-will, which I'm sure will do a big pile of damage when you're in decent gear. Nice that you can move while charging it up, too, or while holding it fully charged.

    That first daily is beastly, too. He stood still while using it, but you can move, and in fact the power itself boosts your run speed while using it, so you can move around even faster while chopping everything to bits.

    Wait until we can play it, or until someone who plays well makes a video of the class. It's going to be a killing machine.

    I was getting frustrated with the video as well, for the same reasons. Only using one attack, never equipping new items, and standing around idle a lot of the time. I was pleased to see that they do get a dodge though. I was kind of hoping he'd make it to 10th level to see his class mechanic but that would probably end up being more frustrating.

    @firesnakearies - Thanks for posting that, I didn't have the patience to watch that entire video.

    Yeah it's unfortunate that the video isn't very good, but it's all we got for now! At least we got to see some tooltips and know somewhat of what to expect.

    I added the French livestream of the GWF, which is way better than the German one.

    Hmm the class actually looks worth playing now. Especially with the Half-Orc avialible at launch. Be nice to know what their utility is.

    The French video was better than the German one. I'll leave it at that.

    Is the Half-Orc race confirmed for launch ?

    Yeah. Basically Drow is exclusive to Founders at launch for sixty days. So they added Half-Orcs at launch to compensate.
