  • We don’t have it yet on console. So I’d like to second this question above to the pc folk. Seems legit because you can drop deflection for more HP.
  • The class needs a complete rework of nearly all feats. Even the heroic feats are terrible in comparison to virtually all other classes. These two changes sound good, but aren’t enough to get the protector tree back in the game. End game content, that is. We all know that it’s about debuffing the enemies damage resistance…
  • Yes it is.....sadly though, sadly. 4 mods worth of cookie cutter builds all wrapped around the same old set of gear. So boring, and I refuse to conform. Ran the Timeless Hero set when everyone else ran the Grand Regent. This MC3 gear is a take on my mod 5 up to now.....don’t be like everyone else mindset.
  • For raw damage, the demo set is still king. That being said, I switched to bronzewood neck and waist. The beaded necklace gives more power, but I needed the crit. 1400 is no joke. Why? More raw stats. The added power, crit and recovery are just too good to pass up. This allows for a mix of black ice and Brutals, which is…
  • If knee breaker will keep crushing pin up with the dots, then it is an amazing power. Why? It hits harder than anything besides the anvil when enemy is under half health. So let us consider the fray, knee breaker and CS combo.....for particular situations/group compositions. Cool downs are roughly the same between all…
  • If you are conqueror spec and the pally is doing the tanking, then KC and knee breaker. Griffins is for those who can pull off some serious damage. Trex’s, pally goes devo and gives you bane etc. The bad part is you could get interrupted by Orcus and his push back power. Or he flies off right before you are all powered up…
  • The grind is in the campaigns. Getting boons for several toons is enough of a grind for anyone. So if there is one thing people want to expedite if possible, it’s dungeons and skirmishes. For the salvage and other possible drops, veterans and new players alike want to move thru as efficiently as possible......so they can…
  • GF’s don’t beat GWF’s flat out. That’s not possible with both being similar item level and competency. It requires the meta group doing everything they can to buff the GF. Including the GWF, if one is in the group. Give me some battle fury plz. From 4 Con Artists and 1 dancing shield to weapon enchants mixture. From giving…
  • Power/crit for your conqueror spec, with seals. Crit/armor pen from Chult and ToNG is better. Better for the purpose of adding RI so you can take the power boon from guild. I’d also suggest the super cheap white tiger for an extra 2k armor pen. Tactician spec, grab the defense/recovery and the guild HP boon. Keep…
  • Never use the blacksmith. It’s still trapped in mod 7 damage production. Never ever use any of the Galebs. I think there are 3. They work based on your missing HP and not how hard you get hit. So unless you’re planning on going thru a dungeon with half you HP full time, don’t use.
  • Swap the underdark rings asap. You can grab somi rings with seals. Better rings drop in Chult. The easiest way to go into an fbi, is to grab a protector pally instead of another dps. This way you can go in with your dps/conqueror spec. If you do grab another GWF for your group, I’d suggest your tactician loadout. No matter…
  • This is quite an issue. I remember when Villain’s Menace lasted longer. I thought/hoped that the CC immunity would be fixed vs HR’s and TR’s with the GF overhaul. Every toon type has another toon type that is their bane. For us it is definitely these two. I literally ‘waste’ as it were, my artifact wheel power on ‘wind’…
  • Funny how a post that originated as a “how to” question, morphs into another nerf the GF crusade. This is how a post that would otherwise be quite helpful for those who need the advice.....turns into something on the verge of being deleted by a dev/moderator type person. And then the helpful hints and good info get lost.…
  • Hyper said it right. The only groups my GF is successful with are the ones already running a protector pally.......to do the actual tanking. Pally’s have a cruise control style of tanking that we just can’t hold a candle to. For this reason I prefer dps and dps/hybrid and most assuredly prefer doing the hardest content…
  • I just want the devs to read what Proteus put together above. RJC9000 has done the same thing and we all agree on one thing as a whole.......the philosophy behind each path should be as obvious as their names. Conqueror should buff personal and dare I say allies damage. Protector should mitigate damage for self and dare I…
  • Never have I ever seen so much want for a nerf to any other class, than the GF. It is constant and unrelenting. No matter what the devs do, some of you will never be happy. That said, the GF players in this game are very resourceful. No matter what happens, we will build in a new/different direction that makes us the most…
  • A GF that is spec for dps doesn't kill turtles with 3 griffins without a certain team makeup. It requires 2 DC's an OP, doing the actual tanking duties, and another random dps. Or even another support class to make the dps spec GF look even more powerful than what they actually are. The exploits are not really exploits.…
  • Agreed, and as I thought. Thx again
  • And do we have a soft cap/diminishing returns for AP gain? I looked up the link above, and no explanation was available.
  • It's a tough grind, but worth it all the same. Tactician tree: fight on, crushing pin and daunting challenge. Daunting challenge still reduces damage from marked targets for us and not just our teammates.....unlike what's stated in the tool tip. Plaguefire isn't a deal breaker. The recent buff to damage on all the weapon…
  • Shoot for more power and armor pen. Trans Feytouched is pretty standard for its buff/debuff combo. You didn't mention your weapon enchant, so I just threw that out there. Conqueror/SM is good, but where's the rest of your points? Tactician tree for crushing pin is also pretty standard. Your biggest problem is your weapon.…
  • I run straight black ice across the board on both toon and companion. The reason is two fold. First, it gives the most raw defensive stats. Second, I run assassin's covenant. So....more power and more defensive stats that are all useful. An extra 5% lifesteal and deflect from companion is much better than more defense on…
  • Thanks RJC9000. And yes I do have the drow boon for +10% CA. 1200 regen is the other option which I find next to useless. I have an intellectual devourer, but don't use it for obvious reasons. A flat 500 power set bonus comes with the company gear, regardless of what combo we use. So if your calculations are correct then…
  • I thought of asking this question too. I'm coming from the perspective of utilizing both the Valhalla set and the lostmauth set, with which I use both. But I'll include my opinions about the Orcus set as well. From the angle of the Orcus set vs Lostmauth set, I've kept the lost set for the included armor pen. 530 per neck…
  • And there it is......"broken class." Hey look guys!! GF nerf!! Has this even been discussed before? Unbelievable
  • What RJC9000 is getting at, is that the GF is the highest dps in the game right now. That's why he gave the snarky remark as to your expertise.....mebengalsfan#9264. You've given an example of some so-called dps GF's being unimpressive. Well they aren't real dps GF's, period. There are very few out there. And even fewer…
  • I posted my 'jack of all trades' build on the guardian fighter page of FB. The problem.....and I explain this in the description of my build, is that it's 3 builds in one. I say this because my build must allow for swapping artifacts/artifact gear, mount equip powers, companions, powers themselves and the list goes on. My…
  • I've put together a hybrid. Honestly I don't have a problem with people going tactician or protector and then utilizing armor and enchants that promote dps. Clerics and pallys are buffing our cooldowns. So a switch from ridiculous recovery numbers to a more useful power/crit increase only makes sense. If you've got the…
  • RJC9000: I have the same companion setup except I run a rust monster instead of the War Boar. Hybrid build, so I'm a firm believer in balance in both offense and defense. I've been looking for an alternate to the rust monster for added dps in solo content/T2's. I go straight into WMS for mobs right after an ET. So I'm not…
  • I've heard that the max HP of teammates plays a role for them too. Any truth to this? Or is it the protector pally's HP that matters only?
