I am starting this thread in the hopes of getting a few of the bugs worked out/ looked at and to inform anyone still playing a guardian fighter which feats are currently not functioning and to not use.
Strength Focus:
This feat does not to appear to function in any meaningful way at the moment.
@24 strength, actual damage done without the feat and with it does not change.
Armor Specialization:
What should be one of the best feats in the entire tree and this does not function. Human racial shows up on character sheet, this does not. It also does not appear to give the bonus even in a hidden manner (damage taken without vs damage taken with).
Potent Challenge:
Unable to determine if this works or not, small tidbit though is before speccing into this striker pet never took agro, afterwards he'll often steal it. Which leads me to believe either he also gets the boost or it is negatively affecting characters agro modifier.
Shield Defense:
As of last testing this feat is still broken, it never provides more than 1ac, no matter how many points are spent on it.
Now I know there are other feats that probably are not functioning correctly and would love to have anyone who has tested something different post it up. Most of my time was spent proving to myself that these feats didn't work in some hidden manner.
Comments
Please provide some feedback Cryptic.
Tell us this is work in progress and not a money making scheme.
People are paying 600 Zen to respec because they have picked up your placebo feats.
you know feats can be reset with astral diamonds so before that AH/AD exploit it was 50ZEN or 10days of doing dailys for AD
And this is where a lot of people get irritable about the whole "open beta" thing. If it's truly a "beta test" (open or not), they should provide us the tools to actually TEST things. That means providing respecs to verify if abilities and feats are working. Not making us PAY for the dubious privilege of testing their software for them.
Ten days of grinding out AD just to respec and test their software for them is laughable. During a BETA respecs should be handed out almost like candy. You know, to help people test things. Once the game goes LIVE is when you can try charging for them.
