Feel free to wipe my a s s nerds.

Just take a step back and literally HAMSTER your own face. Thanks.
-
Heh, I think it's the one I was talking about. :)
-
I can clearly remember a small outdoor map with trees and a frozen lake in the middle, all covered in snow. And I'm sure there are more of them.
-
1. Random drop everywhere. 2. 200 AD in Wondrous Bazaar.
-
Maybe you haven't seen it but alpha testers surely did.
-
You can't tank epic dungeon bosses without shield/block. You can't deal with adds without aoe cc. So you should always have a GF and a CW in your party. But the best party setup is definitely 1 of each class.
-
Yep, I'll definitely go with that one. In a normal encounter slot with some random build it doesn't seem special but if you know what you are doing, it's hilarious. The funniest thing about chill strike is that you can get its cd down to about 7 secs easily on lv60. That's crazy for an instant cast, high dmg + stun aoe.…
-
What are you talking about? Out of the 27 paragon feats there are: 15 feats that have something to do with cold powers/chills 7 feats that have something to with arcane powers 3 feats that have something to with lightning powers (1 in each tree) 9 general feats Majority of feats in the Oppressor and the Thaumaturge tree…
-
I was talking about end-game dungeons. Dungeons before lv60 are basically tutorials for the epic ones. Alpha. Now we have 5 classes, so that makes 1 from each. Warlock and ranger will be strikers so I guess they will be interchangeable with the TR. But you can't survive 1v1 against a big boss without a shield. That's for…
-
Big bosses tear apart anyone without a shield. So GF is the only viable thing for 1v1 tanking on bosses. No class is intended to be an alternative for any other one. You should bring 1 from each class.
-
Well, technically you can play without them but you'll get really frustrated at later levels on all classes. And leveling a GWF in solo without a cleric companion would be incredibly annoying. I'd never try that.
-
Haha. Just wait for the epic dungeons. Hint of the day: rogues get oneshotted by bosses there. And bosses love full 360 aoes. I guess there will be a mass reroll to CW after people have actually seen the endgame. A single target class just won't cut it when you get gazillion of adds in the equation every minute.
-
Exactly. There are insane amount of combinations for fun and powerful CW power use. You just have to decide which playstyle you prefer and which powers you want to use. Then choose your feats according to those. Another examples: 1) conduit of ice (its dmg got buffed) with -15% mitigation from feat and while waiting for a…

CW as worst class? We must be playing a different game. CW is very powerful and really well balanced (only the Oppressor feat tree is lacking a bit). It's also the most rewarding class with the steepest learning curve. And I'd never go to a dungeon without one.
-
I agree. I tried a pure dmg build but it was literally unplayable and very frustrating without a cleric companion. It became much better with a cleric but still felt quite odd. However, after putting in the +15% deflect passive, getting a few more defense feats instead of offensive ones and swapping out some gear pieces it…
-
I was using roar, weapon master strike and not so fast for aoe and sure strike, indomitable battle strike (sometimes restoring strike instead of roar) for single target. I was Destroyer specced. I went on killing several mob packs with the green cleric companion in the last zone. I found only the packs with the huge spider…
-
Well, if Cryptic really wanted GWFs to be damage dealers they wouldn't nerf the dmg of the class in every single big patch, would they? Few days ago, lv60. I definitely felt the nerf but minions were still going down fast in the zones I played. My main is/will be a CW. But I don't think CW is a real aoe class.
-
GWF is a Fighter. All fighters are Defenders. The difference between the GF and GWF is that GF focuses on defense and is a single target tank (for big mobs and bosses) while GWF opts for more dmg and is an aoe tank (for minions). And GWF is still unmatched in aoe efficiency and dmg output. When I face a mob pack of 6 or 8…
-
Keep in mind classes are being balanced mostly around lv60 and end-game content. It's inevitable that they feel very different as they level up. Like rogue feels OP below lv30 while CW and GWF are very frustrating before lv30-40ish. However, at lv60 things come together quite balanced though some tweaks are still needed…
-
Now only sure strike's overhead blow can hit multiple targets.
-
Well, they've been nerfing the class with almost every big patch since it was first introduced.
-
Just to mention: They also nerfed all of the GWF powers in terms of dmg.
-
And that's completely wrong. You are wasting the class if you don't play it as both a defender and a striker at the same time.
-
Go with a passive one. Extra stats are good for everyone.
-
Crit severity increases your crit dmg. The base crit dmg modifier is 175% for every class. With +1% crit severity it becomes 176%.
-
The advantage of the +3 feat points depends on your chosen class/build. I definitely want it for my GWF build but I don't really miss them for my CW.
-
You can use only one companion at a time. Yes, for soloing the tank companions are the best for a CW. But in groups you want either a cleric or a passive stat-giver one. Or maybe a damage dealer. There's a variety in companions because every class has a different playstyle thus requiring different types of companions.
-
That icon is a placeholder that's been there since forever. It just indicates there will be more classes added to the game soon(tm). Same as the placeholder character on the race choosing screen in the bottom right corner.

I don't expect gold spammers in this game at all. 1. Gold is a very restricted NPC only currency. 2. There are only a few things worth buying with gold and you'll have more gold than you'll spend. 3. There's a report spam function in game. If someone gets enough spam reports, they will receive a nice account-wide 24 hour…
