Interesting vid.

oh believe me. I hear you. I love my GWF Sentinel. The other 2 feat trees so underperform nobody wants them. I wish the Devs had not nerfed the temp hit points for GWF! Uber suckage. Nerf the tab ability but leave the bug. WTH is up with that. There's a ton Dev's have done to the beloved Barbarian class to make them feel…
-
For me it's a toss-up between Druid and Bard. Barbarian already exists in the game and is named GWF.
-
I agree with this. I'm all in favor of Sentinel and Instigator being made desirable roles for GWF. I see GWF as being shoe-horned into a single path in groups and I'd like to see them welcomed no matter which of the 3 feat trees they picked. If GF can be a tanky dps-er then GWF should be able to do that too. :smile:

Technically speaking Deathbeez is saying no such thing. He was pointing out how extremely unusual such a team setting outside of a pre-made such a group running together really is. That's all Deathbeez was pointing out. Developers don't develop classes or content around XTreme Team runs. They develop a class around the…

I am in favor of people running in teams whatever build they enjoy and keeps them playing the game. If Paingiver matters, that's good. If it doesn't matter, that's also good. :smile:
-
I never claim a DC dps build is the best righteous build. That isn't my point. The best build for me in teams is the one that will keep me playing the game and continuing to spend money occasionally in the cash shop. The point I make is that 1. Cryptic uses the Feat trees to simulate dual and triple classing. Especially…

You know... It's such a darn shame a request like this is even considered necessary. Cryptic has a poor track record of balancing classes in such a way that it makes the game feel more challenging and fun. I bet people with tons of AD and time sunk into SW sometimes wish they could buy a class re-roll token.
-
That is the same comback I get when I play my Sentinel GWF. It was player sentiment like that that ruined Sentinel as a viable tree. :( I suspect it's not practical to go off and create another main for most people. Perfect World doesn't exactly have a reputation among gamers for having an affordable cash shop and for…

If a DC was in your eDemo and you got that hit I can guarantee that DC slotted Prophecy of Doom. Prophecy of Doom + Into the Fray = Nuclear Armageddon.
-
GWF and CW are going to get re-works. The devs have acknowledged every class is going to be hit with the 're-work' hammer over the next 1.5 years. Some of that re-work for every class will almost certainly include nerfs. Perhaps some will get buffs here and there but Devs do have to take into consideration Game Challenge.…
-
I wish GWF Sentinel was a viable option again in team play but too many people expect Destroyer instead.
-
Not if you prefer to play a striker DC only and choose encounters that don't party buff. It's easy. Slot Daunting Light, Chains of Blazing Light and Searing Light [notice how that encounter load-out (strike/cc strike/heal strike) almost mimics the roleplay diversity of Renegade CW who provide the same strike/cc strike/cc…
-
Join the party. The exact same can be said for DC. But that's not something to brag about. I don't wish classes had any kind of nerf hammer at them but there's too little time and testing at Cryptic to fully test things before their obligations make them roll things out to Live. CW had plenty of mods where they were DPS…
-
Major thumbs up on this.
-
cactusjackter said: Except it's not, is it? The Tank has three very distinctive trees and roles. It's a Tank, Controller and a Striker. I'll agree that no other class has this diversity or roles (as far as I've seen), but the Tank has. To be a good Striker you have to sacrifice Tanking and Controlling until you're a very…
-
I hear you. I suspect Cryptic sees it this way: by leaving temp hp ridiculously low it increases playing challenge. I'm willing to bet not reducing gameplay challenge is behind a lot of otherwise seemingly ridiculous decisions for many classes powers.
-
To clarify...not saying that I don't see SWs playing. Just that they are the least-played class I see in the game. Certainly the least played class in my guild.
-
I realize you are being facetious but that just highlights what an impossible barrier Cryptic has. Pro-nerf crowd will go for whatever FotM class they have their sight on. Look for calls all over the forums for nerfing CWs again after Cryptic introduce their new rebalancing work for that class. PvPers will likely rally the…
-
This is the crux of the problem. When have Cryptic ever been able to do this without causing an uproar and yet more people permanently leaving the game? SW class is nearly dead due to Cryptic changes. DC has been nerfed so many times I'm beginning to lose track. CW forum has plenty of posts of post-nerf disgruntled CWs. I…
-
Yes, you misunderstand.
-
This is one area of the game I wish Cryptic would just drop though I know that will never happen. It's a hold over from 4E D&D but the MMO is now using 5E for creating content. It gives the impression the roleplay options for each class is more restricted than it actually is in practice. The MMO has clearly gone down the…
-
This is more confirmation of why the game is becoming a DPS-oriented quick-pickup game for casuals. Even "support" classes now are better fit for team play with a dps build rather than focusing on "nice but not necessary" features. DPS is the one feature that every team can't do without. It's possible to clear content…
-
The key for me if this happens is to play like a TR. Dart in, hit, dart out. Even a DC with no stamina boons can typically get 3 back-to-back slides in if that many are really needed. It's like slotting a third passive like Prophetic Action but with faster refresh time than PA gives. I slide, attack, slide, attack, slide,…
-
Oh lord. Now the calls for nerfing DPS Clerics will be next. Well, isn't like it isn't anything the class hasn't seen plenty of times before. Sigh...
-
This I can totally agree with! Indeed GWFs should have more diversity of viable play than they currently have. My GWF seldom gets played because she's a Sentinal - but since the game now rewards high-dpsers over relying upon fluff skills like healing she's seldom welcome in PUGs or even in guild runs.
-
I'm wary of calling for nerfs on any class these days. Lord knows my own two primary classes - CW and DC have had the nerf hammer swing over and over at them. The DC class in particular of the two seems to be a favorite Community target for nerf calls (CWs especially bristle at the idea of a solely-dps-no-buffing, DC…
-
For solo play I'd say either GWF or TR. TR has some crazy, fun abilities. Dazing mobs and sub-bosses is a blast. Lashing Blade has to be one of my favorite encounters of ANY class, not just TR. GWF is king of the hill right now for sheer dps though. Even after the Lostmauth set nerf the majority of PUGs and Heroic Herald…
-
So would you say for lesser geared DPS DCs the Orcus set beats the eLOL set in terms of buffing one's own dps when other classes party buffs aren't available?
-
GF will likely be nerfed quicker than it took for the devs to nerf Bubbledins. In any case once one of the 3 remaining classes is released (druid, bard, monk) GFs day in the sun - if it's still going - will end. Devs always make newest class the dps kings to incentivize the player base to spend money gearing up the new kid…
