There is the Mace of the Nine Hells if you like bashing people in the skull with skulls, and there is a chunky frost warhammer from the first boss of FH
I think the reason the CWs teleport in and use Steal Time is they basically hold the GF's abilities in contempt. They believe that if we had just brought a second CW, the combined control effects would have been far more effective in preventing their dirt nap, and a whole lot faster than waiting for the tin can to do…
I imagine something that would have actually surprised people would have been if there was a GF in the team, and it actually did anything meaningful. Encounter design needs to wind up having 2-3 adds that are tough to simply kill, control immune, and have ranged attacks with annoying status effects but otherwise not too…
Actually - the only actually functional way to kill gold spammers is to make it so that you cannot use chat at all until you have paid real monies to PWE. As little as a dollar. Gold spamming bots can overcome anything through time and numbers - as they have those in infinite supply - but the moment they loose a dollar…
GF's are not 'weak' - they are 'unnecessary' My GF is a tank build, and is frighteningly strong - but - my presence or absence makes no difference to the success of the high end group. A strong CW protects the team better, while doing more damage to more enemies at a time. As that is what people want in order to make their…
The game is in desperate need of another leader class, with the Warlord being the other one from the first players handbook. The game doesn't even need the current defender class let alone another one. So I expect we will get another 3 striker classes and a controller that is better at being a striker than a controller in…
Yah the Man At Arms has a 'hard taunt' that agro locks the enemy. You can not compete with it full stop. They annoy me because my build 'works' by having the enemies attack me - so I need agro to keep agro, and with agro I can compete with the (second) best of them for damage all while holding threat and not really needing…
The GF certainly does not need 'Moar Damage' which is all that Deep Gash really is. If your fix is to give the GF more damage, you might as well just remove it from the game and only have GWF. Classes that are the same, should just be the same class. The GF needs to be different. So the real problem is this prevalent idea…
The amount of setup needed to pull off a single hit of that magnitude, vice the HR simply having to use an at will over and over - do not confuse a once every dozen seconds spike with insane single target damage.
It is absolutely totally NOT worth it - not only because, as you calculate, it would not do much, but also because as mentioned, it doesn't even do as much as it claims it would. Totally a waste.
If I thought for a moment that a DEV might pay attention to a humble player about how to fix GFs, I would make the following suggestions: Animation times: Many important powers have painfully long animation times, that can get you killed because you simply can not react fast enough to use them when you need to. One…
Well, after adjusting my build to account for the interesting informations I gained from this thread - I took the opportunity to roll out through some dungeons and in general had a great time. I don't have the same equipment (not doing PvP ever means no PvP armour) Some observations from a PvE tank: 1) This build does…
I was using a similar build, and not being totally happy with it, and then I saw what you had to say about SoS effectively being 2 uses for 1 daily. Nice find. Also the interaction of the reflected damage with my lightning enhancement and the like - also nice. I am not totally happy with my rate of AP generation, but that…
I feel another ranged striker class right after the ranger would be silly, but I also know that it would be a popular class, so Warlock seems likely. What the game really needs is 1 or even 2 more healing classes - Warlord and Bard would be strong contenders. It could do with another controller class, Druid most likely. It…
Just for next time - copy your character to test and buy the item there to check it out. Then you do not waste your shot at a nightmare (well - unless you decide you want the fashion item on live too)
