  • Alright, I'm not going to bash you any further than you already have been as far as auto consumption of keys when looking in chests in glorious detail as to how that's a terrible idea. If you're going to do it, it's going to happen, and 98% of your player base will hate it. What I really want to see out of an update,…
  • I know how you feel here, but for me it ended up becoming an issue of crowdsourcing - if someone else has gone over multiple possibilities, and can present viable, provable, and repeatable data, at the very least you can use that as a starting point. Where you go from there is entirely up to you, so long as it works. I do…
  • Shadowclad! I have been wondering about this, as far as it's reliability/viability vs Negation. As far as Deflect as a stat though... 16k is enough to where it's not an inconsiderable proc rate, ~40%. I would have to look into getting different companion gear (hopefully I still hung on to some from the Gateway) or trying…
  • But that set bonus seems too good to pass up - "3 of Set: Whenever an enemy attacks the bearer, that enemy's damage is reduce by 3% for 6 seconds. Stack up to 5 times." Enemies getting a 15% damage debuff, really like the sound of that! Haven't really seen a set bonus that looked good to me until now (strictly speaking as…
  • Gotta say, I'm not sold on Sacred Weapon at all. Maybe just my mileage, but I've been having a lot of success running: Oath Strike/Radiant Strike - Templar's Wrath > Circle of Power > Bane >> Shield of Faith/Divine Protector on boss fights in CN, FBI, and eSVA. For trash, I pretty much just run Binding Oath > TW > Burning…
  • I'm going to have to kind of both agree and disagree with you here. A large part of the recent changes to the Paladin "core" skills was because a competent (see: not necessarily 3k+ IL) could just take 4 other players, regardless of class, gear, or experience and clear any content in the game at the time (back when Divine…
  • Honestly can't say I have given Sacred Weapon a try, it was neat when you were level 10, but I don't really see it having any place at 70. Can't really afford the cast time in combat, and you have Oath Strike, Vow of Enmity, Binding Oath, Divine Justice (see: multiple, ways to generate threat if you need to, that are…
  • UPDATE: Ended up grabbing a free respec token from that Third Eye lady, mainly to take 3/3 Force of Will, and trade out Recovery boons for Crit. Swapped out my Pure Lightning for a Greater Dread (definitely a noticeable change on the weapon enchants!). The only gear swapping I did was take out my Waters of Elah'zad for…
  • I tried explaining it... It seems not everyone (most) players don't read up or watch videos online to see how the fights work. I'll try again later tonight. My play times aren't necessarily during peak hours though, so pickings can be slim for a group. Hopefully as more people figure it out, it won't be as rough going.
  • Also, for everyone out there - Dragon Turtle and Giant Slam... wtf bro...
  • GASP! I must need to make some serious re-evaluations to my stats then! I sit at around 160K HP and ~60% DR. As far as ArPen, so sorry didn't even think about posting, but its just over 6k (~60%). I also read some interesting things lately with regards to companion gear, and using the "Sudden" versions on your companions.…
  • I just have the Relic boots restored, lost a little bit of Recovery, but the gain in other stats was pretty significant, as well as having the EFR to get into FBI. What is the cap for DR? I've heard 60% or 80%. I think people may be confusing the 60% with ArP though. This is pretty much exactly where I am at. As far as…
  • Thanks for the response! Particularly, the last line really sums it up - comparing offensive to defensive stats. Yes, I've done the math (pretty basic) for the returns on Aura Gifts, on paper it's pretty astounding, I just don't know if: 1) Aura Gits has a cap for power that can be shared, 2) At what point does Power hit…
  • Any other OPs out there with thoughts/ideas? I'm interested to see what you think about: Various builds and their viability (does anyone competitively main a Bulwark Tank?), Does anyone else successfully run FBI as a Justice feated, heavy Recovery OP? Stats to stack (power/crit for offense and HP on defense seems to be the…
  • Indeed! Flexibility is key to stay at the top of the game. I am also definitely partial to support roles in a group. GF/DC for buffs are a must have, and I'll take a debuffer as my 2nd DPS any day of the week! I also try really hard to only have one of each class in a party, that way I can eliminate as much redundancy and…
  • Thanks for pointing out there is no cap for Temp HP to me! I am probably going to be pulling for Dread or Terror here shortly, due to this. As far as permabubble goes, yes I do miss the days of being able to DP>Heroism 100% of the time, and yes I see how that can be game breaking, and no I'm not QQ'ing over that being…
  • I like FBI, really forces me to be a tank. RA is a good AP builder, and the knockback at this point is pretty irrelevant as most of the mobs are CC immune/resistant, so I'll definitely look into that. Even with BO, threat management is pretty jumpy (my mileage.) It seems like alot of OP's have ditched Divine Protector…
  • So trade out cooldown reduction/AP Gain for Damage? Just trying to make sure I understand the intention here. I feel like I gain alot more out of the utility from being able to build AP faster and keep up BO/TW. Otherwise, high Crit and Trans Dread work nice together, especially with Templar's Wrath. All my current Defense…
  • I've been in mainly three distinct party compositions: 1) The classic, Tank, Heal, 3 DPS (i.e. OP Tank, DC or OP Heal, GWF, TR, HR) 2) Tank, 4 DPS, and, (i.e. OP Tank, 4x GWF) 3) Tank, Heal, 1 or 2 DPS, 2 or 1 Buff/Debuff. (i.e. OP Tank, DC Heal/Buff, GF Buff, SW, CW) Party 1 usually doesn't have any major issues, as long…
  • Information on myself to start: I have DC Sigil at Mythic, Flail Snail (Epic), Burning Weapon Set (Epic), 18k Recovery, and 1.5k AP Gain, most of my offense slots are still at R11 (Silvery), and I'm running Ioun Stone with all Loyal Master pieces, as well as Artificer's Persuasion (Insignia Set Buff). So I still have some…
  • This has happened on my Paladin as well. An important note is that not only is the second (new) slot being occupied by the Action Point/Stamina Gain Jewel, but the stats are not being applied to the character at all. If it was just that the slot was unavailable but the stats still applied, it would have been effectively…
