Can GF be DPS?

Topic. I don't actually have one, but I was just wondering. Now that the million damage bug is gone, can GFs still do decent damage, or are they main tankers only?

    im wearing the same thing as maiku except the boots and the neck item (i use a cloak XD aesthetic reasons). Oh and the accessories also, I'm using slavemaster rings and belt. I do 5-7m damage on temple of spider, usually at the top of the list.

    Well you should thank the development team of Neverwinter for this . The players only want easy ways to get AD and loot you can't really blame them for playing the game as it is right now .

    You've shown that same screenshot over the past few days. Besides, with a 14k gearscore that you achieved by abusing the GF exploit, I would hope you can kill the damage meters.

    Your gear isn't that good, therefore, I'm gonna say that you're playing with <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. However, DPS GF is the highest dps class/spec in the game, I constantly outdps top players in the server by 5-15M.

    That's how you actually top dps (except you're an orc and you go 18 str 16 con 14 dex STR/DEX)

    Question being, why is the current meta TR then, not not GF dps -- I mean you have more DR, easier ot heal, and do more damage -- unless it's all tied up in cleaves and therefore useless dps.

    Not making an accusatoin, recently rerolled wizard from my GWF because I didn't want to get to the endgame and not be able to do anything, but i'd much rather play something in plate using a sword, just.. ANOTHER reroll to play someting I want to play if it's just going to end up useless is.. eh.

    The meta is: 2 Cleric, 2 CW (AoE/Single Target), 1 TR (Single Target) This is because people think you need 2 CW to mantain perma blackhole, however, that's not true. When a single CW can mantain perma blackhole, then dps GF is the best position possible for the party. We do very high single target dps when using the correct encounters and do UNMATCHED AoE dps. I've parsed my dps and saw values up to 50k dps at intense aoe moments (and that 50k dps is constant, it's not a wild peak).

    mrh, might as well.. Maybe i'll get lucky and find a guild who'll take me for their reindeer games -- I prefer fighters, being forced to play a wizard was bothering me anyhow.

    Any tips? I noticed you built mostly like I would have looking at the trees, but.. why bull rush over lunging strike? why threatening rush in the aoe spec (.. only marks in aoe, iirc, and we're not trying to tank here, or are we? I mean, I guess naturally due to AC and defense we'd be tanks but..)

    Any advice for leveling, even.

    why do you keep posting the same pic over and over again from days ago? are you publicly showing that you did the GF exploit or something and getting away with it or what?

    I don't really care about GS, it's a DPS issue here, so please don't be misled by the mistype by Cryptic when it does actually have the correct POWER in my stats due to the CORRECT description my SKILLS provide me.

    You guys are hilarious. Please, tell me what exploits are being used here? Don't have to be mad because you can't achieve my DPS Mr. Perfect Soulforge GF. :) Oh, sorry you mean the mistype for GS by Cryptic? Lol.. That surely changes all gameplay and is totally abusing the game..

    Here's a present, CN done until 3rd boss. Same gear. Patched up to 17/5/13, please explain your exploit theories. I'd love to hear them and giggle.

    PS: Oh right, you've never seen these pics? Maybe the reason why I post the same pictures on different threads because not everyone reads the whole forum.. stop qqing. All my ss are legit and posted after GF exploits. I've never exploited any bosses, nor am I banned. All I was doing was posting pics to OP about dps. Don't need to hate on it.

    I have lunging on every single one. Enforced threat is actually good dps and action point gain, when you aren't cleaving more than 5 targets you should use it. It also helps stack up stalwart passive.

    Calm down. You're posting screenies that are irrelevant; isolated damage meters don't mean ****. You're not even using stalwart, so you shouldn't outdps anyone by that much. Nevertheless, dps GF should outdps top players by 8-15M when optimized on CN (until dracolich where CWs push 24 million mobs off the side and have "fake" damage).

    Turns out i'm just an idiot, for some reason the lunging strike icon was registering as Into the Frey in my head, heh.

    Thanks.

    Isolated? Are you blind? Stalwart is a piece of <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, don't even need it to out-dps top players. I'd rather stable stats rather than having to be hit 5 times to gain stats. 1.5 rec is more than enough to max AP meter with 3 skills.

    I have done the math, don't even try to spread lies. Other sets are only better vs bosses where you are soloing the boss and don't get hit. I know 1.5 sec is not more than enough to get max AP meter because you only have 1.3k recovery. Into the Fray is not a good skill for dps, sure, it gives decent AP gain, but no damage and takes a very long to cast. Enforced Threat is better.

    Recovery 3k > ArP 2k > Power (crit from gear)

    You are following envy's way of gearing, yet he gears for PvP, not PvE.

    By isolated I mean 2 cases of you outdpsing <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> doesn't mean ****. Learn the meaning of the word.

    Your maths equation can't calculate skills of a player. Maybe you're just **** because I assume you are since you can't believe I did it legit. I mean you're just assume those players are '<font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>' right? I train the whole map and with one surge I gain half AP then I'd block and gain my other half. Unfortunate that you can't calculate a class completely even when you're playing it and using maths, that's how bad you are. Now stop trolling because you can't get good.

    PS: Maths on skills doesn't affect the whole equation. You don't know what armor enchant or weapon enchant I'm using so no need to talk **** mate. They factor in a lot. :)

    Frontline Surge hits 3 targets max; gives roughly 40% for hitting 3 targets at 3k recovery. Soulforge doesn't change ****. I have Greater plaguefire too. I never said you didn't do that legit, I'm saying the people you grouped with are horrible and that isolated damage meters don't mean anything. I love how you resort to Ad Hominem when you can't make compelling arguements.

    Btw, I don't mind you bieng subpar because of your stubborness, i'll keep being the highest dps in the server.

    Stalwart Bulwark is by far the best set, simple math and testing gives this result..

    I think it's overlooked because it's t1 and not t2 as if that means anything lol.

    I hope so, I went full on tank build when I first started, but soon realized it's pretty useless to build that way.
