Along with jawa's comments, I feel that HP is actually the only real buffer tank that you can field as a CW. My current build is built under the theory that you need to last long enough to do your damage. Yes, if I can try to avoid being targetted, that's the best, but you don't always have that luxury. I like my big HP…
Honestly, this kind of indecision is a little annoying. If the intention is merge, then there should be some sort of schedule or plan of action to do so. If the intention is not to merge, then some sort of character transfer should be implemented. Given that Cryptic already knows what kind of server load they're getting,…
Agreed. EF on Tab is a waste of the Tab slot when the extra effect won't do much. As for tabbed shield, I don't even carry shield untabbed. As jawarisin was saying in his guide, you can be hit with one of anything, and the damage mitigation effect is pretty much neutered. That makes it pretty useless considering the only…
If you think this is greedy, you apparently haven't been around the other free to play games that are around. Paying for speed is currently the way most payment models are heading because it's less pay2win than having items that are better and are only available for cash. Now, if the acceleration of progression is way too…
@caelith - I agree to some degree. The problem with messing with stat parameters is that you start affecting PvE as well which we all must admit is the largest portion of this game. If you lower crit bonuses, then you bring down avg. DPS in general. If you buff HP only somewhat, that'll bring down the probability of…
I'd also add that from my experience, Renegade has better burst damage potential than Thaum from it's focus on building on crits. That makes it a better proposition imho for pvp where taking down your target as fast as possible is more important than prolonged DPS.
Thanks for the guide Jawarisin. I've used your thoughts and build as a starting point to playing around and have been doing pretty well so far. I honestly think that this should be a cookie-cutter build for those who want to start off in PvP w/ a CW. As for the question of gear above, I'm currently using Champion Mage gear…
