*** Updated 19/07/2018. Alright let's see what issue are still left.
So let's get down to business.
- The Scourge Warlock feat Creeping Death does not critically strike ever. *** Still an issue
- The Frosted Smiting Glyph is doing strange things in PvP. It can deal between 800-21000 everfrost damage in one hit to other players. Works on
classes: SW,CW,OP,GF and DC. (Haven't tested the others, nor have a tested whether it is simply scaling with buffs and debuffs yet). *** Still an issue
Classes, combat and powers
- Nerfs to Combat HR are increasingly significant and have, by now, fully murdered that paragon for PvP. Between cluncky animations, faulty Mane of the Manticore, 15 second heal over time from Wild's Medicine and nerfed DPS on Blade Hurricane this build is now completely not viable for competing in the new MOD14 meta. These nerfs will also put HR in a very difficult position for group dungeon content as the class is being backed into the Support Role corner in high tier and potentially low tier dungeons. Bottom line is, this paragon now needs a full rework. *** The HR class imbalances are still an issue - somehow I think this is probably something for a Quality of Life update in Mod14b or Mod15 as I know SW rework is in the works as well.
PvP *** I still need to test these things - turns out it's hard to PvP if you have no friends. ;(
- The GF power Griffon's Wrath does not grant stacks of CC resistance in PvP, nor does it scale with CC resistance if you do have stacks.
- The GF daily Indomitable Strength only grants 1 stack off CC resistance and yet hits 2 distinct times that can happen even if the first one is dodged. Thus it should add 2 stacks of CC resistance for logical consistency.
- Speaking of logical consistency, the CW power Ray of Frost adds only 1 stack of CC resistance to the other player for the duration of its effect, and 1 stack when they are frozen, despite the slow that it does - seems about right. Then compare that to the DC power Forgemaster's Flame that, when empowered, adds a stack of CC resistance for each time it is cast even though it does the same slow effect a CW does with Ray of Frost. This makes doing any form of Combo kill with a DC impossible. Please make the slow effects in PvP more logically consistent when and where they apply stacks of CC resistance.
- The HR power Boar Charge is very inconsistent with its animation and range. Its very easy to have that power go on cooldown without it ever being used and it very rarely delivers its full effect unless standing > 5" away from the target. Please increase the range of this power so that it goes on cooldown less and makes it more usable and more competitive. Also, this power is extremely weak in PvP at the moment DPS-wise. Really it needs to deal about 200% more damage at the base level to consider it balanced, but I'll accept any moderate buff to this power as a starting point.
- Another HR power facing a lot of animation issues is Fox's Cunning. This power now so rarely actually happens that I had to remove it from the encounter tray for something else because it was hampering gameplay more than it aided it by having the player animated standing still and dealing no damage and still target-able. This power should work exactly the same as Bloodbath does in the TR in the sense that it deals no damage if the other player dodges, but still "latches" onto them, obviously with much shorter duration. I think the fix to this power would be to increase its range, but also some work might be needed with animations as to how it interacts with jumping/knockback effects as those guarantee the power will not work. e.g. if you jump and cast it the power does the animation but in the spot you are standing, unlike bloodbath.
- A buff to Piercing Blades is needed, after the bug fix that prevented it from dealing damage based on pre-mitigation like how TRs used to work the power has really been hit overly hard.
PvP, Classes and Powers
- An issue that has always plagued my mind about the power Ice Knife for CW is its interaction with the Paladin Aura and GF shield. As the GF shield is placed logically in front of the GF why would a power that drops an Ice Knife from above the player be affected by such a shield? Correcting this interaction to how it should behave such that the GF cannot mitigate damage from ice knife nor provide CC immunity from it would also go a long way to balancing out the current PvP meta.
- The CW Shield on TAB also grants CC resistance bonus, however, this affect is currently working at 50% effectiveness in PvP at the moment and does not give any CC resistance when the player also has stacks of CC resistance. *** This is actually due to one of the CC resistance boons in one of the campaigns, if you take off all other CC resistance effects apart from TAB shield and PvP CC stacks you get the full expected resistance to CC.
*** I haven't been looking into any new bugs as of NW 100...a.12 so expect to see the list increase soon.

and these are my companion's stats on preview
Stats on preview should actually be higher, since all of my stuff is upgraded fully there. Knowing people, there will be a mass panic if this hits live, glad it has been posted here already.

If anyone is competant at PvP and has a character on Preview would it be possible to meet up and test some interactions? You can reach me on preview at " Did you say Pennis@ibz4ez#9773 "
