    Hi, i'm actually running a 66 human CW with this build, i'm a new f2p player so i don't have AD, big enchantment etc (just one 25 air archon and Mulhorand set).
    I have R5 azure for xp, R5 dark for offensiv and R5 radiant for defense, but i'm too squishy, i use lot of potion and my leveling is slow...
    Any advice ?

    (sorry for my english)

    Are you wearing level 61+ armor?

    ironzerg79 senpai,

    i am about to hit 70 in a few hours, largely thanks to your build which is fun to play and so powerful. Thanks a lot for your effort. I was wondering which power i should upgrade to level 4 once I hit 70. I think according to the guide it would be Dissintegrate?

    Currently i am only used to AoE powers. Once I am Lvl 70 I think single target nukes get more important in dungeons like eLoL. My initial thought would be RoE, to buff whole party damage, and have big impact in long boss fights.


    Thanks for your answer in advance.

    I'd suggest you to upgrade your passives first as a great part of your dps comes from them.
  • ironzerg79ironzerg79 Member, Neverwinter Moderator, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 4,942 Arc User
    I would upgrade Chilling Presence then Storm Spell.

    I just returned to the game and could use some help with feats. Would someone link me which feats I should take?
  • ironzerg79ironzerg79 Member, Neverwinter Moderator, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 4,942 Arc User
    Look on page one.

    Look on page one.

    OK. I'll look again. My fault for just skimming.

    So after you raise armor penetration and critical with gear and enchants, how do you raise power?
  • ironzerg79ironzerg79 Member, Neverwinter Moderator, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 4,942 Arc User
    Better gear, artifacts or higher level enchantments. Augment pets or active pets with bonding runestones work as well.

    @ironzerg79
    Just posting this here, as it was brought to my attention and it deserves looking at. It seems a MoF CW using PF, Critical Conflagration and swathe of destruction with crit conflag offhand bonus plus the death slaad active bonus has some weird interaction, dealing more damage then the cookie cutter SS ren build (recording about 1/7th higher dps on ACT). I am not quite sure whats going on here, I only just recently had the ability to look into this and I was curious if you know anything about this.
  • ironzerg79ironzerg79 Member, Neverwinter Moderator, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 4,942 Arc User
    What was the interaction? And any chances of looking at the parses? I'm always skeptical of stuff that's purely against multiple test dummies.

    When I am at my pc I will upload them (currently on my tablet) and link them here. There seems to be an interaction between smolder, dot enchants and the death slaad, it kind of looks like smolder may be classified as an at will or something and is messing with the slaad, but I haven't been able to identify exactly what is happening here. I was looking at this yesterday with @jaegernl who was the player who first identified that there was some weird interaction. He may have discovered more since then.

    *edit: Sorry for being so vague, but I don't actually fully understand whats happening here. Its not that I am saying that this makes MoF better then SS, what I would like is to get more help on puzzling this one out :)

    That could make sense, with "Cryptic" mechanics...any at-will that applies smolder makes the smolder act as an at-will, hence multi-procing the Slaad bonus.

    @ironzerg79 "I went DF Assault Cap, DF Raid Arms and Shoes, and Elemental Alliance Raid robes."

    Do you mean Elemental Elven Alliance Raid Robes? The way it reads, it sounded like you were talking about the T2 dungeon drop gear.
  • ironzerg79ironzerg79 Member, Neverwinter Moderator, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 4,942 Arc User
    Elemental Dragonflight Assault Cap, Elemental Dragonflight Raid Armlets, Elemental Dragonflight Raid Shoes and Elemental Alliance Raid Robes....yes the T1 version.

    That seems odd to me. Wouldn't the T2 chest have higher stats, or was it the stat distribution overall? (Keep in mind im on xbox, we just got stronghold update today)
  • umscheumsche Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 461 Arc User
    Elemental Alliance Raid Robes has less power but it has crit.
    Elven and dragonflight have less power and a lot of not-as-useful-as-crit recovery.
  • ironzerg79ironzerg79 Member, Neverwinter Moderator, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 4,942 Arc User
    Exactly. I'll be switching things up again in Module 8, but I did want to take advantage of the HP/Power set bonus on Dragonflight, while minimizing the amount of critical strike and power I lost. I think that's the best combination, and I'll take the extra recovery and hit points over a tiny loss of power/critical.

    I jus got myself an augment and personalized adamant ring of piercing, which made me really happy, what do i put on defense slot on the rings and the slots of the items for the augment? Was told lifesteal but i see a lot of players with 3k or 4k defense.

    Shouldn't it be radiants for HP?

    I'd wait until the tradebar store changes hit til buying/making enchants though. Rank 7s are going to be 6 tradebars a piece so prices could drop pretty hard.

    @thefabricant @ironzerg79 Effects that make the target receive more damage (so debuffs on the target), do buff the Slaad's DoT.

    New boons with underdark!!!
  • ironzerg79ironzerg79 Member, Neverwinter Moderator, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 4,942 Arc User
    Indeed. Some great boons...and rings with 2 offensive slots! Woohoo!

    Where do i see the rings?
  • solbergxsolbergx Member Posts: 654 Arc User
    Hi, i just bought my whole elven set just like your guide:
    elven raid cap,
    elven raid armlet,
    elven assault robe and
    elven assault shoes.
    The thing is I lost nearly 1.4k points in power?
    Should i change all my offense enchantments to power (radiant) or should i go power + crit (brutal)
    I can only afford enchants lvl 8 for now.

    What did you switch from?

    Alliance raid and assault items

    200+ HEs/skirmishes later ...

    WHERE ARE THESE RINGS YOU SPEAK OF.

    Hope the drop rate on legendary rings is a lot better in epic demogorgon because trying to get +5 rings in HEs/Skirmishes/Normal demo seems like trying to get a horn to drop in elol.
