    Bonding proc on power actication, not attack

    I can see the proc on the top left, that means that in a way, the ioun is attacking/activating something, otherwise the bonding wouldn't proc, nope?

    Uh, bondings are not supposed to work on Ioun stones or any augments as the augments do not use any powers. If you have proof of that happening, would you please share a screenshot? If it's indeed working it's unintended and most likely a bug.

    It appears to be a bug, i don't manage to make the bonding appear again, maybe a specific process can display it but i don't remember which one.

    By the way, i tried Dragon stone ioun & fire archon and my dps was significantly increased with the ioun stone (when i had the bonding proc displayed)

    Obviously, if Ioun stones could proc bondings that would be overpowered and BIS at the same time, you both get 100% of the stats it has on top of 300% more, so of course that would provide a better boost, but that's not the case as it's not supposed to happen and thank god it doesn't, as if things don't melt quickly enough.

    Awesome guide! I messed up on my ability rolls and I have 27 str and 22 dex I'm a half orc. Is it worth the 20 bucks to fix this?
  • scathiasscathias Member Posts: 1,174 Arc User
    not really in my opinion. you lost a few % on crit but that isn't that serious until you start approaching min max territory at 3k+ (which i don't think you are yet). If your dex is low because you put attribute points into CON as you leveled up you can just get a normal respec token and put the points in STR/DEX instead

    Hi again Lia, can i ask why did you choose the Shadow touch boon over enraged regrowth for the 4th dread ring boon?

    Hi again Lia, can i ask why did you choose the Shadow touch boon over enraged regrowth for the 4th dread ring boon?

    They both suck, feel free to choose the other if you want, it doesn't matter.

    what mount should we buy first please? i have enough for 1 epic mount.
  • silverkeltsilverkelt Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 4,235 Arc User
    I would buy any mount that has protectors camaraderie bonus listed (then stack one of the green protectors friendship ones)

    Those would be the two best to start with, I use a guard drake and a winter wolf to do this. But you can look up the insignia list and choose.

    I also like anything with gladiators guile (its super nice) and wanderers fortune (progress your toon faster)

    Some people stack all protectors camaraderie (or 4x or 5x and 1x friendship or 2x friendship) this set up will net you the most specific dps return still.

    But I would have a hard HARD time dropping gladiators guile and wanderers from all of my alts to do that.


  • tan22tan22 Member Posts: 4 Arc User
    thnx so much for your reply m8. bought the guard drake now.

    Hi ! I don't know if the answer is in the thread but what is the skin of your hat and armor ? ( Sorry for my bad writing i don't speak english very Well

    I have to admit this thread has been both informative and amusing to read. First off I'm happy to finally find someone who makes sense and who goes into depth with obvious experience in the build. I've always played a CW in the game for quite some time now and finally getting in the GWF Char. I'm glad I caught this thread in the makes of my build (lvl 60) and starting to develop my Artifacts and eventually lvl 70 gear :) I'm going to try and screenshot my current build and would like a knowledgeable ladies opinion in what things you might suggest me changing...not expecting a fast response given that time would be taken away from game play :) and totally understandable.

    Hey on ps4 and jewel crafting is nowhere near the level to make personalized rings. Do you have an alternative until I can get them?
  • greyhawk#1973 greyhawk Member Posts: 236 Arc User
    Bbmonies I recommend getting sudden or rising precision +2 or higher depending on your luck. And a brutality for the other slot. The +2 variants should be fairly cheap on the AH, or you can get much better versions running skirmishes, demo, or CN.

    With how fairly easy it is to get a decent +4 ring if you run a lot of stuff I personally think jewelcrafting isn't as necessary as it once was.

    Just my opinion :)

    If those are your rings then how do you meet the requirements for armor pen ?

    Lia, have you tested any of the new mount bonuses?

    I haven't, I'm on vacation at the moment, but I'll say this - none of them look appealing but I'll run a quick check on them when I'm back from my vacay.

    Hey on ps4 and jewel crafting is nowhere near the level to make personalized rings. Do you have an alternative until I can get them?

    Any of the T2 rings can work for you, especially if you need Armpen. Getting +4's isn't difficult, so until then, if you have trouble getting JC up to 25 and craft your rings - purple 1 slot rings should be a good choice.

    Hi
    i have a question regarding the set you picked for the belt and neck
    why pick this set when Lostmauth's set looks better with the pve crit build?

    your set:
    +power +critical strike +defelection +str +con

    lostm set:
    +power +crit strike +arm pentration +str +dex

    the set i see has better stats for a gwf
    you mentioned that its overpowered and other things but isnt that what we want? to be abloe to do massive dmg
    you also mentioned a 35% dmg increase but i didnt udnerstand
    where is the dmg coming from?
    iam on the ps4 btw
    your thoughts?

    It's the bonus set passive that she acquired. Your attacks deal up to 20% additional damage based on the difference in hit point percentage between the player and target.

    There's a whole section about the Orcus set and why I chose it in the guide itself, I don't think I can possibly explain it any better, I chose the set for the set bonus that was described by ajlir above. No, I don't want to use overpowered items/sets, it's not what I'm about. I will utilize legit, non-cheesy ways to achieve the best DPS I can however, and the losty set before the fix was just bad and I'm glad it's fixed now.

    As for the damage increase - Lia wears the Lostmauth set and she does x damage. Lia switches out of the Lostmauth set to the Orcus set and comparing between the sets she can do up to 30% more wearing the Orcus set.

    What's a good mix of brutal enchants and azures?

    This is very individual and per character, to get the stats I want it'll take me a good while to switch out ALL of my Azures for Brutals, I still want to maintain 100% crit chance so it all depends on your stats, keep in mind I also don't have +5 rings so I'm lacking an extra offense slot that'd help me, this could be different for other GWF's. The only advice that's general for everybody is this - do NOT use multi-stat enchantments unless they're either rank 11 or 12, don't bother with any lower ones, you're gimping yourself.

    That would be the roll you'd eventually get, yes.

    Hi Lia, did you try running fire archon with Underdark rings?

    One Brutality +4/+5 instead of one Loyal Avenger rings is the best combo you can get without losing any vital stats. I don't recommend this if you're still lacking crit though.
  • cobriccobric Member Posts: 3 Arc User
    Hi Lia, thank you for you response.
    I'm just over 100% with bonding proc, so I'll switch to brutality then.

    I was wondering if you could post your current feat build. The only reason i ask is because the screen shot in forums is not matching the working link that i did find on page 3. Thanks for the guide

    Not sure which page 3 you're referring to? Anyhow, the feat build on the actual guide is my current one, it hasn't changed.
