Great Weapon Fighter HELP!!

I am noticing a disturbing trend with the Great Weapon Fighter the damage is not scaling correctly. Example being Sure strike does 9-10 damage at the start of the game even though the weapon you equip is doing around 28 damage. The stat should read 37-45 damage but it's not. I demand help with proving if this theory is correct. Because right now Cryptic/Perfect World is ignoring all my attempts at trying to contact them.

Your own ****ing wife or you're ****ing your own wife?
Well now we know who wears the pants in your family pottymouth.
Like I care what people think.
I'm pissed that the one class I wanted to play, ends up like trash. Don't they have a play test?
The class was fine before they nerfed it.
Because she even knows she sucks at games, and for her to be doing more damage and having a easier time with the game. Speaks volumes about how poorly it was tested, or how badly they don't listen to play feed back.
Actually from what I have read from some beta testers comments the GWF was already regarded as being slightly WEAK while leveling BEFORE they decided to nerf it.
I am guessing that whoever made the decision realises by now (well you would hope they do) it was an extremely bad call, but doesn't want afford to reverse it too quickly as this would make them look incompetent. Not that the current situation makes them look good, but to reverse it would definite highlight the fact that it was a major error on their part.
Well they can either hotfix this class, because it is complete HAMSTER, it's like playing on suicide difficulty, or the class balancing team can sit in silence while some players will infact quit because that's the class they want to play. Me being one of them, I'd rather play a different game rather than suffer hitting like a wet noodle and spamming 40 potions per dungeon.
This guy does not know what he is talking about. Time to put him in his place..*sighs*
1) This is not dnd. If it was, we would not be talking about higher levels you can be doing good. Since dnd is base around great stories. Sure you had char builds and such, but most people who played dnd did not min/max. They played how they wanted to do it.With that being said, the story of GWF sucks at low levels. It blows chunks, and that is not good design. In a dnd game..all levels matter.
2) NM I don't need to put you in your place anymore. I'm just laughing at your comment.
Maybe you can enlighten us with your vast knowledge on how to play this class then. Example I go through a dungeon and lose half my health just on the first part if there is a hexer or one of them big guys. I dodge, use skills, do everything right, but I'm still in melee range, hitting like a wet noodle and because I'm hitting like a wet ****ing noodle, I'm forced to drink more pots than normal.
tell me how to play my class pls.
First: get some anger management course.
Second: get a cleric companion, she will save you on pots. Note that pretty much everybody has to drink pots in this game (yes, even clerics in dungeons when they get agro), they are cheap and there is really not much else you can do with gold anyway.
Third: the class subforum has plenty of topics on this matter, there were at least two different guides to a Destroyer build that are very good (including leveling curve and skills). The class is definitely capable of doing a lot of (aoe) dps and on later levels even some single target burst.
No one wants to do TR dps, but at the same time. We would like our strong points to start a tad bit early than 40.
DO you understand how much of a pain in the *** it is to hit like ****, and to have the mobs drink healing pots? DO you know how long it takes? It is a nightmare, and when a cleric can do my job better at these levels. Someone needs to be fired.
And now you have morons like this trying to be a smartass.
Get a cleric companion is not the **** problem ok?
And i dont play a GWF but my guild mate Rhek does and he is always number 2 on damage behind a TR, and most of the people i see running epic dungeons this is the case...TR is first followed by GWF then Wizard....again like i said before wait till after level 30..i understand low level is annoying..but in a MMO like this is..its all about End game..not early game or even mid game for that matter....if you dont like it you probably shouldnt play MMO style games
No, it's not a problem, it's a solution. I'm running with her on 60 still, despite her getting twoshotted in dungeons she is still useful as she heals for a % of total hp.
Considering my main is a GF and my GWF isn't far behind, yes I know. It doesn't matter much though because them drinking a potion just adds another couple seconds to a fight. I almost never have to drink potions on either of those characters, the cleric pet keeps me at 100% through all solo content, it's only in skirmishes/dungeons when I'm tanking 3 spawns that I have to potion. That's what playing a tanky character is about, that's why people should be picking fighters.
Ok so the cleric is going to help you stop hitting like a wet noodle?
I would gladly give up a cleric and spend all my money on pots if I can become a power house AOER at this levels, guess what? Even if I could tank, I do about as much damage as a guardian. No I seen some guardians blow through **** quicker.
This is with me going through the best build I can with what I have. Getting Recovery and Power mix in with some crit. I built pure damage, because I can afford the pots. Yet, the pure damage build is complete ***, and I spend longer on a mob, than my cleric wife who rips through it with ease.
It is sad, no excuse for it and someone needs to be fired for it.
So it turns out that the person spouting off about how GWF are fine and that all GWF players need to learn to play better/just get to level 60 doesn't actually play one. Am I the only one not surprised?
And, oh look he plays a CW - well at least he wasn't a TR as that would just be the icing on the cake......
I don't remember what level this skirmish was, but it's pre 40:
Gather packs, use mighty leap, use not so fast, use reaping strike until you get wicked strike, take damage and use unstoppable (sic!). If you are running around trying to do single target dps then you will fail.
I played a GWF 1-50 in BW4 and yes the low levels suck but leveling is doable...and if you would just suck it up and get to the endish game content you wouldnt be screaming like you are now
Honestly, and not to be rude, but I think you just need to learn how to build/play your class.
I play a GWF and I do tons of damage. I was a little weak during blacklake skirmishes, when my class was young and didn't have much to work with as far as powers, feats, and gear goes, but every skirmish after that up to my current level (32) I have dominated the damage chart. Competing with, and beating rogues. If there isn't a rogue in the party then I usually top the chart by a landslide.
Solo'ing is too easy. I do drink a lot of health potions, but that's only because I don't try to avoid damage. I take it willingly to build my determination meter. The only attacks I try to avoid are knockdowns and some of the huge magic dmg attacks. Health potions are so plentiful anyway and it's not like there's much else to spend gold on atm.
If it helps... I'm a wood elf crit build. Stacking crit>power>armor pen. I started with a 17str, 14con, 16dex ability score. Pumping my extra points into str/dex only.
At level 32 I'm using maxxed Take Down, Restoring Strike, and Flourish. With 28.5% crit chance. (around 36% with the crit stacking feature) crits are often and these skills do big damage.
For aoe I only use wicked strike, and it cleans house especially if I use it during unstoppable.
I use the dog companion to maximize my dps. It's takedown ability is fairly handy.
I haven't died yet.
Just remember the class is pretty gear dependent and don't be scared to chug them health pots like no tomorrow.
I agree, there is something seriously wrong with this class. I got my GWF up to level 43 then deleted it. The amount i was spending on potions was becoming extreme. I made a TR rogue and my problems have been solved. Rarely use a health pot and stuff dies in a timely fashion.
Ive also had much success with higher DPS on my Cleric. Pretty sad.
