Depends on the tree you spec in. Vorpal can be sub-par in sent tree if they don't use SS whereas the lifedrinker one is a bit better suited. Lightning works for any tree. To summarize, the best of the best for GWF is for "each attack", as our weapon damage is pretty high, the % conversion is the best boost. Anything for…

And this is part of why not getting capstone is almost viable as a GWF. Even with all our other almost works systems, the non-capstone is likely a tad sub-par for that as well because the 5ac ability in the sent tree is at the 20pt. range. It's possible that newer paths could become more specialized for the GWF.

I shouldn't be a bat, but more like... a half dozen chopsticks or so, from a pvp perspective. If it weren't for tene enchants, most of wouldn't be crying about 80% of all one-shots.

Need to l2p. Last CN I was 4million dps above the next to players, which were rogues. And i'm only using that founders weapon enhancment.
-
I used to play a number of the longer Foundries, but I no longer have as much time to do it, in addition to having classes I don't want to play, the re-play value of making more GWF's is less then appealing. Currently, when I do grab a foundry, I choose based on story/uniqueness in addition to having lots of mobs to kill.…

Dude... like 30% of all gwf posts in the last month and a half is Armor Penetration? I don't expect it to drop anytime soon, since we love the linear min/max BS too much.
-
If you are looking at speed - damage ratio, the stunlock is slightly sub par, if you aren't destroyer. If you are looking for versatility in cc'ing high hp trash, then stunlock is useful.
-
Short range, and I assume it has the max of 5 mobs as per the rest of the GWF abilities. I've only used it on my destroyer GWF during pirate king epic, as our group couldn't quite sync enough to pull mobs into the death circle. Basically shouted at boss being kited then went back to work on the adds.
-
The easiest way to get marks for a couple of swings is to kill something with IBS. But ya, don't count on marks for your damage boost in most circumstances. I run a sent dps build on one GWF, and a Destroyer GWF on the other. Currently use Steely Defense and 1 pt into Con feat, but I'll likely sub out 2 pts and put it into…
-
Pretty much, and the 4 piece is only 15 seconds of every 60 max. So your damage bonus by default for the 4 piece should be less then that. For the most part, the 4 piece is a sent/instigator buff. Destroyer can use it, but it isn't as "beneficial" as you can already get determination quite quickly.
-
I've only seen 3 good gwf so far in pve. Need to start doing runs where you outs everybody else by 20%.
-
Depends. I really should copy the link to all the data parameters. Everybody loves to state everything wrong. There are something like 3 forms of damage relationships for which certain mitigation affects actually calculate from. For Armor penetration, you are modifying not your damage, but the amount resisted. Throwing out…

You don't use stamina to weave. If you're doing wms/ws half-correctly, you will be swinging 2 hits wms per 1 hit WS. I do however end up cancelling sometimes when i don't want to be hit, mostly accidentally. Due to the odd lag spikes, it is very difficult to get more then 2-3 swings in consequentially with weaving. I do…
-
Two notations: Vigilant set has 2 arm pieces. Reinforced armguards provide an extra 20 stats from normal. 2. 4 manning the bits of CN that you can prior to total pug collapse. (ie. more then 2 people.) With a non-dps sword and a non-threat build, I kept most of the agro of the mobs while still keeping a reasonably high…
-
Pre-60, int is actually kind of almost viable. Pre-GWF buff, having an extra 3-5 int was useful within certain rotations as the 1str difference for a human with scaling still provided reasonable dps. Now, with the reduced cast timers for our encounters, 3-5 int is too much because the Strength % in damage scales hell of a…
-
I just bought a second weapon for my sentinel GWF, and was using a reaper-defensive original as I was saving for the allure stone. +19 damage changes IBS from 8800 crit on first shot to 9600-10796 as an average, when it crits. This is also inclusive of no power modification. (I then bought reinforced Vig arms instead of…

If you know the file, you might be able to change the file permission? If it's read-only, maybe the file patcher can't fix it.
-
Some of it is making sure you let go of your sprint key prior to the activation of the damage/hit component of the red circle. I don't have a GF, since no mmo makes a real shield fighter.... maybe they have the same issue?
-
I normally run with 2 single target encounters and 1 aoe encounter. As he's sentinel, Determination building won't happen via damage output.
-
I agree with you Kindyre. It also seems to depend on which item you fuse. The Power enchants for lvl 4 will normally be 4 in 6 for me whereas the dark enchants are alot nearer to 19 in 20. Savage enchants were amazing for me. It was almost profitable to convert to rank 6 without Wards. (I ran out of AD at the time, so I…
-
I went with: 17Str +6 13Con +2 14Dex +6 As Human. Imho, I would love to get 16/16/16/10/10/10, or 18/16/18/10/9/9 if it was available.
-
It was like "where's Waldo" in trying to find all the people..... I found 5.
-
:p Build more GWF toons and farm the dailies from that while leveling. Give us a better rap. (As I've been mostly on my non 60, I haven't had any kicks in a week!) Takedown can stop 48.5% of Brute attacks while Roar will interrupt the other 48.5%. That pesky 1% is still a problem. As well, use roar then Takedown and not…

Pre patch, my destroyer was pretty much still a glass cannon in PvP. Normally it was 1-5 deaths to 10 kills and 40 assists. The problem was I could get most people 1v1, but only if my HP was full. Having to wait for a CD isn't a good thing.
-
If CW can get the players separated, then the CW can actually keep a cap pretty good. It's all just a matter of running the edge of the circle. Otherwise, I still normally put TR at top if you phase out top players from your quota. (or GF's if they are defense/shield specced.)
-
It only looks like it. There are 2 mechanics of the game which any class has: Regeneration and Life steal. There is also the lifedrinker enchantment, which can give any person up to 16% of their weapon damage back from each swing. As a GWF has the wet noodle of high damage, they will be able to get a min. of 45hp back per…

Nah. You aren't playing if you are earning free zen. :o
-
As you need 16pts. into Sentinel to get the AC feat via having WMS slotted, might as well make it 21, as you aren't gonna get a capstone any other way.
-
1. You first have to have the zen to buy the stone. And I used the wrong word lol. I meant to say zen conversion. 2. People really do need to start reading the information provided by the skill that they are asking the question about. If they ask a question whose information is word for word what is listed for the tree,…

WMS/WS threading is still by far the best outside of possibly a dpsing a boss if you know how to thread your abilities. (excluding lag) Boss fight can have difficulty since you aren't getting determination often enough, nor is it really possible to keep a good rotation up due to the red circles. Oh, and be sure to tell…
