It amuses me, how you don't understand such simple concept: there should NOT be such a thing as "excel" in terms of MMORPG. If you prefer an allegory: if your opponent has a knife, you supposed to have a pepper mace. Or at least a chain mail. When us, players, notice some class appears to have a shotgun instead, we should…

* You can evacuate people ;) And that's exactly what Persephone was talking about (quit the game, lol). Personally, not even speaking about tenacity, I can't imagine solo players and premades playing in the same non-separated ranked ladder. This is just beyond possible level of stupidity (which is rather high for those…

Dem GFs, trying to theorize about CWs damage output.. lol! ;) In fact, EotS increase overall damage output by approximately 15% (at best, with P. Vorpal). Which is totally comparable with Evocation and other class features. Overall crit chance, provided by it, can't surpass 50-55% at very best, which comparable with TR's…

I kinda feel wizards are neglected. Would you guys mind fixing at least Storm Pillar? PWEASE :( If you don't know the details, feel free to check this thread.
-
You either haven't read what I wrote in first post, neglected it, or just don't have any common sense, dude. (Or, possibly everyhting of the above) I'll repeat: currently Shatter Strike is the next "Your Ice Storm daily power now applies 5 stacks of Chill instead of 1. Your Chill Strike power now applies 3 instead of 1."…
-
Useless? Literally useless in both PvE and PvP (read the description in #0), not just bad? Only feat I could call such (in addition to Shatter Strike) is Instigator's Vengeance. But even this one is arguable. Aside from that, name just one? (And yes, I've seen them all)
-
Lol just 2 people voted for CWs! I knew I can count on you, <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, so I won't be alone ;) (We need MOAR fellow wizards to vote here ;) )
-
Melody being classy, speaking to noone in particular ;) Well, I just believe I have a right to express my opinion (without being banned); also in Santa and other kinds of miracles ;)
-
Really cool idea. But, from what i've seen, Cryptics usually don't give a flying duck about suggestions to add some new stuff/rework old one. (Unless whole server asks them for) I've been waiting Oppressor rework since early beta, you know ;)
-
I suppose all classes have some abilities with long cast times. And those are usually caused by in-game actual animations. (or it's indeed balance-wise choise? not sure, but really doubt it) So it would look kinda real. Like GWF doing IBS - HUGE, MEAN LOOKING MODAF**KING OVERHEAD SLASH, which on top hits like a truck.…

<off-topic> I played WoW as a frost mage for somewhat 3+ years, bro, stopped at the beginning of Cata. Fingers of Frost, if I recall it right? I used to love dem Deep Freeze crits in PvE ;) ....................... Thx, Persephone, I didn't now how to say that in short. More so, @ripyourlipsoff, if you feel like this…
-
Well, if i'm not mistaken, it's been fixed and now chill stacks apply to Bosses (in exact way you suggesting it). While % mitigation debuff for targets, affected with chill seems a bit OP, even for the last feat (since you can uphold chill 100% of time). Personally, I like Zengi's idea more.
-
Dude, you had your argument in CW forum already. You were talking from a lvl 40 GF PoV, if I recall it correctly? After I pointed that out, u called me "Don't-nerf-me-bro", right? More than half of PvP community (and not just wizards among them) tried to convince you it's not true and CW actually is the weakest class in…
-
Well, yea, it would be a good explanation, but I just had a feeling, it happens way less often, than deflect could possibly affect it. I guess it's been mentioned already - like if your target has 20% deflect this bug doesn't occur 20% of times. But still more often, than WIS bonus would allow it to. I may be wrong,…
-
I recorded one myself, rather long time ago (feel free to check it on my channel*). I assume it's relevant again, in terms of upcoming CC changes. It's not an ITC, it's not a deflect, it happens from time to time with every CC ability, not just EF. Honestly, I have no clue what is it, since I can't track it with ACT (ACT…
-
Well, myself, as a big WoW fan and a former gladiator, i can't help but imagine a thread somewhere on arenajunkies, claiming something like that: "FROST MAGES OP, NERF!!1 (im playing at 1400)". You do realize the absurdiness, don't you? ;) Lol ;) That vid is old as hills and proves nothing - balance changed few dozens of…
-
Agree on that, in general. Personally, i'd like to see some build variety for CWs. Now people just seems to be stuck with thaumaturge-meatball spamming. For a good bunch of reasons, ofc: 15-20k crits, long prone duration (which blocks target's ability to deflect and use CC-imunity mechanics) and on top of that it's one of…
-
Oh.. thanks for your effort, I know that. And, yes, that means it deals nothing, since u can refresh it through class features or just by casting at-will. No point using frost powers in current state of it. If only rimefire would give some features, like for example simply increase smolder damage.. And I just dont get…
-
Since I carry about my beloved Opressor, I wonder if fire one would be able to compete with spellstorm one. Thus it would be really cool to hear some more details on rimefire mechanics changes. Currently it does absolutely nothing - no point turning normal smolder into rimefire. What's gonna change? As far as I know it…
-
It's not fair, balanced, neither proportional tradeoff. We are unreasonably squishy, compared to other classes. For example, and you well aware of it, bro, rogues do way more burst damage with standart LS+IS, while still remaining significantly more durable with stealth, ITC and deflect chance/severity for free (not taking…
-
Speaking of which, it's ridiculous to have these "Faning the Flame", "Furious Immolation", "Sudden Storm", "Maelstorm of Chaos" instead of classic "Fireball" and "Lightning Strike". Even some of your monsters have it. Like Stormcaller, I believe, has Lightning Strike, Red Wizard has Fireball. Even a guy from intro throwing…
-
This is exactly the point. It's not the new path which is weak. Whisperknife instead (from what i've seen) is pretty cool and fun. Especially this reworked encounter. But majority will still stay Master Infiltrator, just 'cos ItC and Shocking Execution are too strong. Because it works even with brainless playstyles (read…
-
From what I've noticed, it works only in 1v1, while there are no other targets at all. If there is someone, doesn't matter friend or foe, lock immediately jumps to it instead, when rogue stealth. I always forget to use it, though, even if i'm 1v1... :p
-
Well, forgive me for being so straightforward (and I already prepared to burn in hell for that), but this whole post is a pathetical attempt to justify new path design failure. I did 2 tests with ACT - Fire and Lightning based Thaumaturge. Mirror feats, mirror encounters. Only difference - I took Evocation, while testing…
-
Not just with eye of the storm. I tested 3 abilities: Storm Pillar, Maelstorm of Chaos, Shard. None of them is able to crit. (MoC was bugged long ago, so I didn't expcet much). Here is> the screen Though, at some point something bugged - either shard itself or dummies, but shard started to miss dummies, as if they would be…
-
That is correct. But assuming the fact Desidus had 24% bonus stamina regen, and I had 12% (boon + str), you could reckon normal stamina regen time for wizard is ≈17 s. and ≈25 s. for ranger. With mentioned whooping 53% speed increase its going to be ≈16 s. for ranger. With max. amount of consequtive dashes ≈ 8. Now this.…
-
Feedback: General After looking at new TR and CW paragon paths I started to think there is just ONE person in Cryptics responsible for designing new abilities and balancing them amongst the others. No way a GROUP of people could create that and say "Yeah, guys, we think those are pretty cool and balanced paths, people will…
-
In-game combat log doesn't provide any info on stun/freeze duration, thus, it can't be parsed. It may sound dumb and not very scientific, but try using conventional chronometre, if you OK with 0.1 - 0.3 s. error (average human reaction time).
-
I'm actually rather surprised of NW community politeness and kindness. Ppl try to give advices instead of classic "l2p nub". Cheers! ;) On thread: if it hasn't been mentioned yet, and for some reason you don't like Roar, or just don't have it in current skill set and its too late to swap - try feating "Stunning Flourish".…
-
I meant, in current meta, if you leave DC for #2 or #3 instead of #1 and focus dem wizards first its ok and wont affect ability to clear mid THAT much. But if only they could heal themselves as much as effective as others (read: no righteousness debuff) it would allow them to go for more healing, instead of…
