Ohai!
With this Video I will not claim to be a "Pro", Uber OP GWF or whatever, I'm playing Neverwinter since open beta and PvP just 4 fun with Guildies and friended Premades (sometimes PuGs).
I used Fraps a lot, so I've many **** on my HDD and I was like "I'm bored, let's make a Video with the Fraps Material"
On PvP I'm using 2 x Scrappers, 2 x Titans + Level 7 Entchants for Deflection, Defense and Hitpoints. On my Weapon is a greater Plaguefire and on my Armor a lesser Soulforged. I have but I don't use Tenebrous because I love longer Fights on 1on1s etc.
Enjoy this Video (best view on 1080p) and pre-Thanks for Likes

- editing: 2/10 (there was literally 10 sec footage of you standing on a point capping it)
- content: 3/10
- quality: 9/10
You show 2v1s where you don't even end up getting the kill lol
You facetank unstoppable gwf, thats a no no
most footage you're not even in danger, there's no close calls except that one part near the end which is lol in itself
I know it's hard to get good footage from pug games, but i think if you put some more time and made it 3-4min vid I'd enjoy it more.
gl, hope you make another one!

Just keep pumping out the videos, and I'll watch them all. - Raven, Mindflayer
So if you use "OP" enchantments you are a wuss?.
Cryptic should change the tenebrous description into: " you aren't a man if you use it" then...
Yes. He recognized their imbalance and took initiative to even the playing field.
I'd say that takes a huge pair of balls.

well he did put more defense, so the way i look at it he's playing even more safe than someone with tenes.
and i dont understand you guys defending him with no reason, all we said is that the video is below average, no one is having a poke at the player itself.
If someone said you that something you created was sub-pair, poorly done, or a piece of <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, would you not be insulted?
And, by the way, the player is a person, not an "it."

so by your logic we should praise every creation ever made? every movie, every game, every show should be immune to criticize just because you know the creator? .... yeah don't think so
No, we shouldn't. But we can always shut our mouths, not say anything, and move onto something more productive than hasty slander.

Everytime I've made pro-edit Videos with a pro cut (counter-strike. BF3 etc.) ppl were like "Oh you re a wannabe pro with this pro video" and things like this. So for my opinion it is the best way to show my Class and Gameplay with a low end Video to Beginners or PvP Newbies to feel more comfortable.

so constructive negative criticize = slander, gotcha
So what makes sentinel imbalance is the tenebrous, not the huge mega regeneration and defense they stack right?
Don't breed please.
BTW the video is nice, it is just your logic that is completely <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. Criticizing a video doesn't make it bad or nasty, it is just a negative constructive way to make the video maker see his mistakes and overcome them in the future. Probably it is you who should move on.
?, Mindflayer
PS: There are players who make videos IMPLYING they are good when truthfully, they are not, they get rolled when they are not with their premades.
So they make those videos while only with their premade teams as to attempt to inflate their skill.
Then there are those who seem to get along with everyone, manage to stay away from the drama and just be a decent person while being a good player.

The "huge mega regeneration and defense" you speak of is not class specific what so ever. Every single class in this game can do it, has nothing to do with GWF at all, and comparing the two makes me think you should take your own advice and not breed either.
Tene's "do"imbalance the sent build. Any skilled GWF will admit that in a second.
and I spent a couple hours shooting the <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> with this ^^ guy on his twitch a couple weeks back...another good GWF and funny too, especially his comments about FoZ, heh
Normally a Sentinel on Regen and Defense Build has low Power, Crit and Armor Pen (like me, I am high on Def, Deflect, Regen - rest is low). Without using Tene others can kill me (okay it takes a while) without die'ing fast on Necro bursts, I think it's annoying enough to face a Tanky Sentinel on PvP.
haha Thank you herk
Swordfish is also one of the top 5 %
Top 5 % CW's are just as lethal, if not more, with CC and damage.
See: Trace
People have a tendency to base their views of a class off of their interactions with the top 5 % players.
Remember : People you run into in PvP that are in that "Best of the Best" bracket are not indicative of the entire class as a whole. When you play against these players, your just seeing what the max possible is. Not, what the norm is....
Yes, this is true. GS is not a good indication of approximative skill/gear setup level. What I am trying to say here is that overall, some classes have an excess of efficiency in some domains, while theoretically they should be outmatched by other class. Such is the case with GF CC, or GWF survivability/damage/CC, or TRs huge burst combined with stealth. I'd say only CWs and DCs are in a rather good place now. CWs have decent CC, decent burst, but squishy as hell so they likely need support, so it's a good compromise. DCs that know what to do are healing like crazy and they're rather hard to kill if they have some support, yet they have bad damage to compensate the amount of survivability. The DC could use a bit more CC though. GFs, GWFs and TRs that are decently geared and reasonably skilled however, have a combination of very high survivability, immunity to CC, resistance to damage and they can also burst you down real fast. They even have some ranged abilities to make things worse
My conclusion is that the game is badly unbalanced in this aspect. I don't call for nerfs or whatever though, I'm afraid devs will break things even more.
I know what you mean. I've given up going for caps with my CW for most situations, in favor of staying at a relative safe distance and DPS/CC people down so the team has it easier. NWO is very fun and PvP is cool, but it's usually caught in extremes, either you own some poor guys, or get owned by a premade with R8-10s and Greater enchants afterwards. The effect is people quit both cases, so 5 vs 5 to the end is a rarity.
If the game would have proper matchmaking based on a ladder system, with nice Arena rewards... it would make PvP much, much better.
I wouldn't like a Ladder or League System because Cryptic has to do many Fixes and Cryptic has to block Macro/Script using in this Game. There are many Players who are using fast Armor Swapping with using Macros to get a Combat Advantage on Entchantment Effects.
Sometimes I am watching the Neverwinter News Stream (I am from Germany yes) and a german Community Manager said "Oh yes in Future we could make this Game ready for playing PvP on the Electronic Sports League (ESL)" <-- Hell NO! This will kill the game and the funny PvP matches...
armor _class_ is specific + sets + class items like the 1,151hp belt of GWF AND initial rolls like max CON, you're basically an idiot by posting that.
I have to say I love your attitude/philosophy regarding this.. Love having teammates like yourself in PvP who understand that this is a team game, and capping and holding points is far and away the most important aspect of winning a match. Killing is great and all, but it is oftentimes somewhat superflous when compared to capping/holding towers.
Sure any class ingame got a tab skill that makes them immune to CC/ attack very quick and get up to 80% damage reduction.
Not to mention you can make your unstoppable heal you while it is active for a % of your max HP. Not to mention that GWF got huge deflect chance than anyone else without sacrificing any damage unlike other classes who need to sacrifice damage in order to achieve that.
PS. I got 45% damage reduction on my sentinel with only 2 defense slots. And i didn't even slot any Azures. And up to 35% deflection chance with my feats.
Please don't discuss stuff you have no idea about .
I was just about to post this, you beat me to it LOL!
Also, ANY build can use tene enchants. GFs do amazing rotations with them. TRs who do the "perma stealth" build can be strong as well. Ive seen DCs 1 shot before using tenes....
Thats like saying Perfect Vorpal makes executioner TR build too OP so im gonna be a "man" and only use a greater... LOL.
IMO the sent build is actually MORE OP when you swap out to higher HP/regen/defensive slots. YOu will do absolutely zero damage, but you will be WAY more tanky than a tene user. I would say Regen is WAY more OP than tene enchants. If you removed regen, Sents wouldnt even be that good compared to other classes.... with tene included!
I mean a GWF has NO way to avoid damage except face tank in unstoppable. How do they stay alive? Well high deflect/defense helps a ton, but regen is what keeps you alive hands down. Removed regen and its just a big fat immobile target who is somewhat of a damage sponge, but trust me, regen is why they work.
