Hi Friends, who are you ?

I have a GF whit 130K HP, 10K power, 10k Defense and take one hit kill many times, in Lair of Lostmount, Kessel Retreat. In eCC or eGWD, and eToS, in cannot do, i have been killed by mobs, eg. archers.

I have all equipment new, PVP, epic (Ilevel 135), all set.
Some day, in a PT with two friends, they take a hit of about 900K :/

    Did you take the feats to increase armor class and effectiveness of armor class and defence? Also is it possible to swap some of that power around for a bit more defence? My tactician has around 14.5k def, this equates to 52% damage resist and it handles things fine, anything over 12k defence seemed to be a big improvement in survivability. Have done ToS and GWD legit without any major issues, CC haven't done yet legit and don't bother glitching content personally.

    Try being a player without all that good armor and stuff. Playing level 70 content is a nightmare and pretty much impossible. Which is where a lot of casual players are right now. Getting to level 70 doing original quests just fine. Even doing the first couple of new leveling areas are good. But after that, forget about it. I tried on my HR to do some level 70 content in Ebon Downs and just had to give up. 1 shot killed by enemy, maybe I took 2 or 3 shots if lucky before I died. Not fun at all. I quit playing my HR because of the this very reason. And I haven't spent any money on the game since M6 came out. And won't unless or until that mess is fixed and I can actually play again at level 70.

    My HR is extemely difficult to solo with and she's my main, so she's got all the cool/powerful stuff. I can't imagine trying to roll a new HR at this point with no boons or halfway decent enchants. If I were new to this game and that's the class I picked to try out, I'd probably move on to a different game.

    I don't do the dungeons, but with the regular content, my TR does fine. Sure, I die more than I used to, but the challenge is refreshing to me. I have mostly the new blue gear now and purple artifacts.

    I have found that the TR is easier to play than my CW - more dodging along with some stealth helps a lot! :)

    Yes, I have the same problem. also areas that I used to go into I can't cause its not safe anymore. 1 shot kills every time. They have made the game so hard a single player can't play with out dieing from things he used to kill. Also the potion timers were increased, so they can't keep you alive in between drinks. The potions for defence and attack can only drink 1, other wise the next one you drink wipes out the first. The game is sade and not fun like the older games I still play more then this one. Have fun. ROFL

    new guild boons is their fix but problems is they will be worthless for new or bad geared players I do not think ppl will just inv ppl to high ranked guilds instead they will ask for specific gear rank and lvl 70 as min
  • fernandoeliseifernandoelisei Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 76 Arc User
    The problem is, If u dont get a guild ? if u dont have enough Item Level ? My set are full pvp burning. I think this game are lost. I'm realy, very very sad about this. =(

    Man, that's over twice my HP. But I'm a CW so I guess that's natural.

    If your reaction time is so slow to get hit by the claw you deserve to die.

    Not all guilds are requiring major item level, etc. The guild I'm in is welcoming of casual players and has folks under level 70. Email me and I'll let you know. There are others, too, I think.

    New guild boons is not a fix. A fix would fix things. Not offer a way out for those that happen to be in a guild and worked out over time.

    It's a drastic change from 1-60 60-70 and then Lvl 70 dungeons, I'm at the point of considering them 3 diferent games. As a GWF I had no problems 1-60 a few hiccups 60 -70, I could still off tank if not main tank, 70+ dungeons are a different set of rules and the only option is dodge, and if you get caught mid-animation goodbye.

  • wylonuswylonus Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 2,376 Arc User
    i think i know why, pre-mod 6, we had "Gear Score" that was around 6k/7k GS, and they change to "Item base" which turn our bases down to 1.8k-2.5k "Item" base, and didnt bother with mobs, and i think mobs still thinks in range of 6k/7k "Item" instead of Gear score.

    I think game intentionally was tuned on the hard side with mod 6, so that they have room to grow without making it ridiculously easy as it was in mod 5. They probably don't want to increase level cap again anytime soon.

    SH will add items that boost the players power: New weapon/offhand, better armor, regular food, and then there is the guildhall buffs. All this will boost player power and make game slightly easier, and then mod 8 will build on that again.

    The downside to SH is you need to be in a (fairly large and active) guild to get full benefits. Power increase for those that chose to stay guildless will be none. Small guilds might struggle to build the necessary buildings, and definitely will not be able to kill the dragons required for the BiS armor.

    I understand the need to keep the game challenging but I've never known another game where they suddenly make *EXISTING* content so much harder. Normally they would introduce higher level areas with a suitably harder difficulty for us to work towards. Mod 6's blunder was to screw up existing content, hence the bad player reaction to it.

    Strongholds can only be a success if they find a way for small guilds to progress.

    Damage Resistance bug. This hit should deal ~70-80k dmg without shield (less if you had some additional damage resistance buffs), 14-16k with shield. Unfortunately I havent seen it fixed in mod 7 patch notes so tanks will keep on struggling.

    The Epic dungeons are doable and you don't need 3K item level. Some classes are easier than others for solo though.

    My main alt is a GF with a 2.5K GS and around 115K HP and it can tank epic dungeons (eLOL, eSOT, ECC) and solo Biggrins and Dread Ring mini quests without too many problems if I've got my timing right. If the timing is out then you spend a little more time running back from the campfire, so what most ppl understand. There are times when you get one shotted, but that's what the soul forged armour enchant is for and when you combine that with a lathander set (although getting the eye can be hard), that gets you through most one shots.

    If you run Shield Talent and use Tide of Iron/IoF/Iron Warrior to stock up stamina, you can keep your shield up most of the time. Guarded Assault and Fighters Recovery pretty much refills your HP bar. Whilst the mobs hit hard, that also fills your AP quickly as well. An overhead chop from a golem is instant AP refill and daily time, use that on fighters recovery or Villain's menace . . . . . . . .

    Main problem with the GF is that it is soooooooo boring to jab away, lol you can do IWD HE's solo but it takes 10 mins and is ZzzzzZzzzzzZzzzz
