After 2 level 60 characters I have to ask is anyone enjoying endgame pve?
I mean it's the same boring HAMSTER over and over and over. The "challenge" is fun the first few times but then its stale HAMSTER that most people would rather glitch their way through.
Frack if this is all there will be gauntlepoops notwithstanding I think I am going back to DDO
WTF was I thinking that Cryptic/Pwe would do something good?

For PvE the only real challenge right now is Epic Dread Vault
LOL...I have an idea... let's not place a campfire between the entrance and the first boss in Dread Vault! I mean...it's only a 20 min walk from entrance to boss... who cares if your PUG wipes... the 20 min walk will fill up some of that empty time you could be using on more beneficial things!
Also the fact half the DC's in this game are utterly atrocious and this is coming from one, isn't helping either. Blue circle on ppl attacking adds. HW on person attacking boss occasional divine heal. Blue circle when adds are down and everyone is burning boss. Rinse repeat.
DC's need to stack more defense too. You're not a cloth or DPS class. You can take nearly as many hits as a GF.
GF's also don't seem to get they should be rounding up and aggroing adds and letting DPS attack the boss.
Can you not mark targets or am I daft?
CW's need to start CC'ing, but since I don't think there's a mark target I can see why.
"Guys remember to pick up adds fast as I have heals ticking that will instantly bring all the mobs onto me."
"Guys, the mobs are on me."
"Ok, 3 minutes and I'll be right back with you."
I'm now just going to make groups wait that don't get the mobs off me instead of spending money on injury cures. The message will go in eventually

If there is no new content within a month of Gauntlgrym you might start to see an issue, but honestly the current plan seems pretty acceptable, even if it does mean farming CN for another week and a half.

I play with my wife she is a DC and I have been playing my GF and since our run in with the mad dragon we go like this, myself (GF) on the boss and everyone else on adds.
Seems to me my wife is getting aggro all the time due to healing and marks go buybye when you get hit. I have tried the GF (me) on adds and it turns to HAMSTER far more easily then if I take the boss and everyone else takes care of adds and then helps with boss if they can now and then.
Dunno but I view a GF more as a "single" critter tank and gwf as "mob tank".
The way I see it is dps should be taking out the biggest threats as fast as possible which is the adds not the bosses.

I don't even bother logging in to pray each day anymore. The end game is tedious and bland, I tried for a while...but I just can't convince myself to log in anymore.
I will probably log in to do gaunt~ a couple times, but in all honesty what is the point? My characters are all in full T2, the new content is T1/T2 gear...why put the effort in?
Unfortunately, my hopes for neverwinter were sorely misplaced. Luckily Marvel Heroes released so I can play around on that while I wait for ESO.
As a DC, I find the T2 epic dungeons horrible. Horribly repetitive boss fights where the only mechanic is adds and more adds and loads of ae on the ground. Really can't see the point in doing these any more.
In this game, it works better if tank rounds up adds. I know you get shield which makes early encounters cake, but healer gets rolled by the 6 million adds no one is pulling off of them. The taunt isn't great but it'd be nice if it was used occasionally.
My alt is a GF, I know the aggro issues. A good TR can off-tank the boss while you round up mobs and dps should be dps them. Adds down, DPS burns boss. I keep finding everyone attacks the boss or no one does.
GWF has even less aggro than a GF. They're not a tank class.
Every time I have went this route is has been a fail in pugs. WIth me on the boss keeping it away from the main group and the group on the DC peeling mobs of her has worked though.
Maybe its just me or how we play dunno.
I would be curious as to what powers and rotation you use to tank adds?
Gwf should be aoe dps and off tanks way before TR should be able to tank anything. TR should be DD with a burst dps focus.

A kind Rogue advised me to upgrade my gear as it is lacking. But if I am undergear to clear the instances which I assumed was intended to farm gear, then where do I turn to? Am I looking to try to farm gear in PVP, or should I turn to the AH? I do not imagine that PvP'ing while being undergeared will be much fun.
It's all about kiting as an add-magnet, casting AS, and that's all. No fun at all as a cleric.
But I'm also sick of the endgame because this community is all about cheating and exploiting. I mean "let's find a way to skip 90% of the dungeon, jumping, running, dying. Let's try to usebug the boss to suicide him or kill him out of the boss area.".
I've had enough of this. Can we play some fun dungeons, where you have to progress, kill different types of mobs ? Dungeons where minibosses are not trash mobs and where bosses are different from an HP bar spawning billions of adds running after cleric ?
A game where the economy is not ruinned by people who exploit bosses like spider and others, flooding the AH with stuffs ? What's the point of running T2 dungeons when the drops sux and when you can get better ones for cheap at AH ?
The endgame is also ruinned by the AH exploiters who now got billions of AD.
This game is all about billions ADs and billions adds.

No I don't enjoy engame at all, mostly cuz of exploits and If you don't want to use exploits you even get kicked out and noone needs a GF anyways so i mostly PvP and "play AH" to buy my gear.
As for the glitching I'm of two minds. Fighting through castle never is really fun so I'm happy to do it. Getting to the bottom of spellplague is brutally unfun even though I have all the responsibilities. So in that scenario I would happily do some out of map jump if I was aware of one. Whoever designed that map should be forced to playtest it for a month.
I don't get people who glitch the boss though. Why do you want all this gear if you aren't going to play the game right? Lets say I was present for a spiderqueen suicide hypothetically and then saw it twice more. All you get is delve chest trash and you don't really get to play. MMO players seem to love this kind of thing though, I didn't even have to play the game and I got items etc
But guess everyone screams about the big evil grind. I myself enjoy the time wacking monsters wandering about with friends, and the random cool loot that might drop. Instead of this basic formula end game dungeon get all the gear in a few days and then now what.
