So i bought an upgrade for my Blacksmith and this purchase killed its active bonus that allowed me to return huge amount of dmg taken. Wasted 600k+750k AD. Thanks for your attention. Please Cryptic - fix it.

    Hey!

    I'm sorry to hear your stuff is broken (hardly a surprise these days huh?).
    But on a side note, let me ask please...are you using ACT? under which category one can actually see how much damage was returned when the active effect proc?
    I'm using the guy for a period of time and was asking myself was it even worth slotting him?

    Appreciate your reply!

    1). Is SW more dps or tank based?
    2). Yes. I am panzer!
    3). Get ACT if you want to celebrate your epeen.
    4). Horniness will not stand between me and what I believe - "MM"

    Hi there.

    Everytime when Blacksmith procs you can see a "Forge Fire" notification on a screen and teal palm icon in monster status - when it reaches 4 stacks - you will see a big number of damage after monster's next attack.

    Cheers.

    Yeah I saw some "Forge Fires" poping out, co I know the thing works.
    I was just curious what kind of damage we're talking about.
    Since I'm taking huge amounts of damage that would transfer a good deal of pain to the bad guys :cool:

    All I need to do now is to track this in ACT :rolleyes:

    Thanks for reply! cheers!

    Yeah, if you will run Guarded Assault+Fighter's Recovery and stand in Fire Breath of Lostmauth - you will see 1 bar dropping from boss's HP after each 4x Forge Fire clearing. Not to say that you will never die with that combo.

    I don't know is it me or...but I tend to see more Forge Fire procs earlier.
    Maybe it's just tu much HAMSTER on my screen and I don't see it anymore lol.

    I'm not really using Guarded Assault that much. When doing dungeons I need all the block I can get, and usually using Shield Talent.
    Heard some good things about Guarded...maybe I should try it out with the Blacksmith.

    Tbh i never had troubles with Guard in PVE.. And i dont use Shield Talent at all - get some STR, get STR focus (both will give you good Stamina/Guard gain). Slot at least 1 encounter with +Stamina after use. Use Shield Slam if you see Stamina is dropping low. Use Tide of Iron as your primary At-Will: anyway with Shift it will transform to Aggravating Strike. Also if you will boost Tide of Iron with your artifact sword - well you understand already ;)

    I avoid shield talent as well, it can be replaced easily with couple tweeks and skillzz lol
