I don't know the stats of the mimic, but I've seen it listed a lot in above posts - makes me curious! I'm a pure ranged spec. What I currently have: Sylph (50% control resist) Stone of Might (for the stats, yo, but the passive is nice too) Blue skeletal dog (190 points of lifesteal) hunting hawk (more damage at ranged)…
A lot of what you describe is also true on the Beholder server (people quitting dungeons, etc). Having said that, what other people have said is also true - find a good guild. I haven't pugged a single epic instance. Period. None. Zero. Not saying you shouldn't, and a lot of new ideas can be found in PUGs, but I don't…
One thing I did notice was a HUGE frickin change when I switched to four piece viziers. I had been using two shadow weaver and two of magelords - had a 10.5k GS, and I just couldn't build AP all that fast, and I like having it there in case of emergency. My recovery just wasn't high enough to .. well, I guess do what I…
SotEA has some pretty good uses. If you're working on a lot of trash mobs, it's very good at being yet another "control" spell, insofar as it knocks down mobs, and does pretty fair damage. It also doesn't knock back, (only knocks prone)so it will keep the angst-ridden melee classes who don't want to chase mobs around a…
That could be my problem - I don't pulse as much as I could/should, in an effort not to disrupt the group too much (trying to avoid the faux pas of melee getting hosed by having to chase mobs around a room - I've been there and it is admittedly pretty annoying :P ). Also, it can sometimes feel counter-intuitive to knock…
copticone - First, thanks for the (sorta) guide and the updates - very well laid out and much appreciated! I haven't seen my DPS go up, or even stay the same from my old build, (which, was surprisingly similar when I was leveling up, I just didn't know the worthlessness of that storm spell at-will we get, so dropped five…
No need to drag any Arcane Presence. You simply drag the power in question into your tab slot, like you would for the E, R, etc slots/buttons. You gain the "mastery" effect on any spell by virtue of placing it in the "tab" slot.
I don't have a cat, I have an ioun stone. The ioun stone gives absolute passthrough of the stats on the stone to the character. So, if you slot it up with 400 points each of four different status, then your character will get 1600 points of stats added to it. More, if you use an eldritch rune with the "X percentage of the…
I agree that GFs aren't going to be impacted by this - if they were dead, they were dead before this. I'd also add - who the heck gets more than one GF in a group anyway? Wow, that's like spotting a bald eagle or something. Having said that, I don't know what shard you're on, but finding epic loot on the auction on…
That is NOT what the "Big Patch" notes said. And I quote: (Emphasis mine). Note, that it said,"OPEN BETA SERVERS" not "live" or "Launched" or "Production." Plus, they're looking for Open Beta feedback, which wouldn't quite have the same impact after 6/20/2013.
He could take a serious beatdown, and wasn't too bad at picking up adds - but did very little damage. You know, kind of what you'd expect out of a tank. Usually, encounters all that tough, so I'd say he's only really useful when soloing and you REALLY need someone to tank a lot for you.
