I agree that Barbarians make good tanks. I have run quite a few LOMM with Barbie Tanks and they had no issues whatsoever. However I still think having additional offensive slots will increase our damage. E.g. Nearly every Barbarian is running Deepcrow for the +8000 power. But what does that have us missing out on? The %…
I think some of you are missing the key points: 1) Weapon Damage is the same for all classes now. Yes I said it, go check if you don't believe me. 2) The wide disparity in terms of DPS in some classes especially the HR and Wizard. Yes they should get the combat advantage bonus, however the difference in DPS will just be…
Isnt it a lot more than just slotting power in the offence slots? E.g Cant a CW use the following for more damage? 1 Deepcrow - 8k power 2 Siege Master - +4% Damage to At Wills 3 Tigers Instinct - +6000 Power and +20% Mov Speed for 10 sec at start of combat Even the use of something like the Skyblade kobold- Increase…
Interesting. I have a Pally Alt (19k) with 90k Power that I play sometimes, and the only time I have beaten a DPS class is if they where a lot lower ILVL than I was, or had way lower power than I did. I find it hard to believe that that's been your experience, but so be it. In those instances that you have seen, have you…
I have run a few LOMM and yes Barbs seem way behind when compared to other classes. In fact I saw the following message in a channel today - "need 1 dps non gwf 120+ lomm exp please 4/5"
I have only done a few RIQ so far but here are my thoughts. 1) Demo - People have forgotten how to play. Running all over the place. No plan like in the old days. 2) Manycoins - very doable with the right team. Did it today with no real issues. 3) Pugging will get you many many deaths. I did about 15 Pugs of the RIQ and…
@asterdahl Again I ask if it possible to show us the stats on how much of the player base use encounters that most have identified as a waste. Eg. Mighty Leap and Not so fast. Granted everyone is different and what I may not find "fun" a lot of others may.
@asterdahl here is some feedback. 1) Maybe its me, but soloing ESOT is harder at the boss if not impossible. Before I could always sprint out of the way of the bosses attacks, now I seem very slow. Movement for the class seems stiff and not as fluid as before the last patch. 2) I don't feel a difference in how quickly I…
@asterdahl Love the changes so far. Barbarian now seems to be on the right path. The movements are more fluid, although still not like in live. I must say, I find that the Tank path seems to be out dpsing the dps path by a lot. I am cutting though the mobs like butter when I am on Sentinel. Oh and I love Axe Storm, seems…
Its a step in the right direction at least. I also think more incentives are required to really get siege pvp going again. I like the idea of new PVP Gear, but would also like an incentive for more people to do Gauntlgrym to get said gear.
What are you all talking about. Having endless consumption, Fey Touched, Negation etc doesn't help me against Saber. ) In anycase, maybe I missed it, but it seems that any changes to tenacity will occur sometime after mod 12. In the interim with ilvl 500 pve gear coming, is there going to be new PVP gear as well?
Perspective is everything. Its quite interesting to hear from some TRs on the changes on preview. At the very least piercing damage must be affected by tenacity. As a GWF I had to adjust (feats, wards, HP) to avoid getting 1shotted in PVP. However there are a handful of TRs who can still 1 Shot me from Full health (234k…
Realistically speaking. Dev Resources are limited for PVP. What are the chances that those classes dependent on DR to not be totally screwed when it goes LIVE?
Thanks for breaking it down like that. I now have a better understanding of the situation. Especially how if the change to DR goes live and the impact on GWFs.
I would say I am an average skilled 15k + GWF and I am a bit confused. From my POV, tenacity is not a problem. Its just a requirement to do PVP. The same way you grind to get gear for PVE, you grind to get Gear for PVP. I am not in a PVP guild and it took awhile but I got to BIS by grinding. The main issues, again from my…
You don't need to be in a PVP Guild to "earn" PVP Gear. All you need is at least 1 win a day. And I am almost certain if you pug 10 games a day you have to get at least get 1 win during that time.
Its not they about enjoying using over performing classes and mechanics or killed by a 4k char. Its about having a better pvp experience by having a chance at move balanced games.
I try to avoid 1v1 against BIS Hrs now. Avoiding the red works when not slowed by a TR or proned by a GF. In some cases you just blow up and its difficult to understand what exactly happened.
I am a BIS GWF SM and I have never heard of this "bug". I will have to try it myself and see if it’s possible In anycase depending on the IL difference, a GWF or any class for that matter can hold their own against at least 5 persons easily, especially if they have high deflect and the right insignias, life steal, drowned…
I thought you could only get the cape with Linu's Favor? If those are going to be available once Tiamat arrives how come i have seen a few people with the cape already
Grind, grind, grind. It took me forever to get the gloves/bracers. I read the forums. I Zerged, started first when I could. Started to see the great success more and more often along with epic profession gear. The day I got to level 3 black ice shaping I started the mother lode did a ton of damage (I am a GWF) and low and…
