From what I read in your guide on Trample of the Fallen, we're in the same situation as the Wizards were, immune targets (mostly Boss) are limiting the class's damage buff and this is hilarious, as they simply transferred a problem from one class to the other as I see it.
Could you test this fellow?
Paranoid Desilusion (Increases At-Will damage against Disabled, or Held targets by 10%) - Trample of the Fallen + Steel Blitz. This combo always catches my eye, but since I don't have time to learn how to use ACT, I'm always in doubt.
I once saw a topic here in the forum because the players did not change classes when they were nerfed, a CW said he would not play buff because he had created the class to be DPS and that he always tried to improve to get what he set out to do, that's the same thought I follow when my friends who were DPS and switched to Tank to be able to do ToMM ask me why I don't do the same. And as an OP friend in a casual chat reminded me, ToMM will soon be what CoDG is hj, something unattractive and what you do just to spend the key and earn a little RAD. Long live the GWF !!!
Thanks for taking the time to put it together. I found it very easy to read and understand.
I was reading your guide and saw the Barbie picture at the beginning.
Then one of Viraal's friends came up with a terrible idea which inspired me to parody the "math is hard" thing with this "art" for how 99% of Barbie players perceive the game.
Idk if you want to use this for your guide, but I'd figure someone might get a laugh out of this.
I am planning on a new char. Barbarian and Fighter are the most interesting classes for me. With the new balancing changes, is the Barbarian still significantly better in DPS than the Fighter? Which class deals more damage in Mod 18? Or are they equal now? Thanks for help.
However, even if you copy everything in this guide, and execute all the encounters and at-wills correctly, your damage will not catch up to the damage of other top dps classes. By saying this i mean exactly; you wont even reach %60 of their damage output. And you will not get any invites from Tomm groups unless you are in an alliance which do Tomm regularly.
why? Truth be told dear barbarians, because someone or something wants you to spend more on other classes. Other classes who look uglier than you, other classes which are ranged and dare not get in close to a foe...
For example, a cw or ranger with a lower sequence of values than you, this game just wont let you play your desired role if you are a barbarian
That being said, its well known that our damage is lacking on single target. Keep in mind there will always be classes balancing, so the DPS today may not be the top DPS tomorrow.
i kindly challenge you to play the infernal citadel or any other dungeon of your likin with me. I will choose other dps. Maybe in this way I would have learned where I am missing. If it really happens as you say, i will delete or edit these comments.
I saw that it is very important to use "trample the fallen" coupled with "not so fast" against mobs and pay attention to "combat advantage" in general.
edit: I had a chance to play with him and he appears to be a much better player than me!
Thank you again for the great guide!
(Say hi to the crusaders for me, I know y'all miss my whining)
