Finished Rothe Valley, and I'm at level 55. 2 deaths. One to about a billion spiders, and one to the four ghosts in the end caverns. I dunno what developer thought 'You know, if we put a GF, TR, CW, and DC on one person, and a hireling, that'd be a fair and fun fight.' Overall, though, I enoyed the valley, and it was nice…

I've gone too and finished Chasm. Fun zone. Nothic's are a pain, but the eyes are cool :) Up to 52. I used 50 to 52 to max IBS. +1 each to Str and Dex and 50. Feats: Destroyer, and Student of the Sword, 1/5 and 2/5. @chrono: Yeah, I figured that. The one point in Daring Shout was just a 'I have to spend it somewhere point'…

I think they fixed the pull trick, since I still got the adds. 3 more deaths, and 50ish potions used in them, and it's bye-bye to the Mountain. Dwarves can fix thier own problems. I did hit 49 this morning praying. Took Rank 1 in Daring Shout to spend the point, and went 5/5 in Battle Awareness.

I think you can. When you go to the Silver/AD/and I think Seals vendors, the basic display is your class. However, you can have the vendor show all classes weapons. I know it works for the first two, not positive on seals.

@shad: Thanks. It wasn't me as much as the design. @chronomancer: I wasn't frustrated with GWF there, just the CC. Neverwinter overdoes CC, I think, especially with no DRs on it. And also thanks to you, as well, for the pull hint. I'll try that!

I'm pushing through Icespire. Not really liking the zone. Like the look of it, but the story is weak and the mobs are annoying. I'm up to 48. Over 47 and 48, I got Battle Fury to Rank 3, and am at 4/5 in Battle Awareness. But, I'm stuck at the Rime Hound. Two deaths on him, same way both times. The 30 percent add pack…

You can stop from seeing it by turning off system messages in the tab of chat you have active. As far as I can tell there are two system messages: the mount, and server shut downs. Cryptic does a very good job of lead time on the launcher for when there will be maintainence, so your risks of missing something by turning it…

I've finished Pirate's Stronghold and moved into Icespire Peak. I've made it to 46. At 45, I took Punishing Charge, Rank 1. I tested it, didn't like it, pulled it. I also took Battle Awareness 1/5. I figure the power gain when Slam is up is worth it, since I use Slam a lot. At 46, I took Battle Fury, Rank 1. Need to decide…
-
Thanks for the Battle Fury advice!
-
I've been working on Pirate's Stronghold. I have to say, I like all of the zones in the game so far. Up to 44, so I've levelled past Wolf Lair. At all three levels (42-44), I grabbed Come and Get It (which I have yet to test), and Staying Power (which is now at 5/5). I should test Come and Get It, but I like all three of…
-
I was talking about the actual, physical, length of the dungeons. Wolf's Den, for instance, has two zone changes. Yet, most of it, is just corridors and caves. You could cut the number of those in half, and still have an excellent instance. The more rooms you have, the longer it takes to get through, even if there were no…
-
I've finished the barbarian area. I enjoyed it overall. I've hit 41 and gone to Rank 2 in Savage Advance, and 2/5 in Staying Power. I also did Gray Wolf's Den. ZOMG, it's way too long, but that's an issue I've seen a lot in Instances. I really think Cryptic needs to look at Instance design, to make them shorter. Even Cloak…
-
Yeah, that is a tough fight. Also, make sure to watch the way you face the dragon, keep the breath away from your party. In one of my attempts, on the one we got closest on, our own GF ended up wiping up, by trying to help with adds on the cleric. So, we had the adds and the dragon beating on the DPS. Got ugly. Also, all…

If I was 60 and on Beholder, I would :) Good luck to your group, Trickshaw!

About Steel Blitz: While I didn't test it, I was never tempted to slot it. I picked it up mostly to spend the points, to get to the next tier, since everything less I liked was already at Rank 3. I think I would have preferred it if powers went to Rank 5, giving greated build diversity, while the tiny incremental bonuses…
-
Yay. Level 40. I did Throne of Idris. GF, DC, 2xTR, me. We had a smooth run, except we wiped on Idris herself, one time. That was mostly because we had a very passive tank, so as we came up onto her level of the, ohh, pyramid or whatever, he just stood there. Idris waited a moment, like she was saying 'what's the tank…
-
I've finished the Downs, except for Throne of Idris, which I need to que for. Up to level 38. A couple close calls on dying, but I've managed not to. At 37, I went Weapon Master's Strike, Rank 3 and Disciple 3/5 At 38, I took Steel Blitz, Rank 1, though I haven't slotted it yet, and Disciple, 4/5. I used AoS a lot less in…
-
Did another try at Mad Dragon. Another fail, but I suspected that from the start as the group was GF, TR, CW, and 2 GWF. Yep, no cleric. We did get to the Dragon, but folded after one wipe. We didn't even get the first nasty add wave, and decided it wasn't worth the resource spending. Numbers wise, I did well. 1st in DPS…
-
A little update. Did Lair of the Mad Dragon. Mostly. 3 wipes on said Mad Dragon himself, with the insane adds. Well, not really insane, numbers wise, just too many have too much CC. We had 2 TRs, DC, GF, and myself. I'd run with one of the TRs before, and knew she was good. Damage: TR1: 1.65 million (this was the one I'd…
-
I finished Helm's Hold and I'm up to level 35. No real issues at all, pretty much smoked everything. I did notice a killing power increase after my ArPen gearing at 32. I was killing Imp packs with one less overall swing, every time. They'd been going down to 3 swings, but after the ArPen, it was two. Every time. I also…
-
@chronomancer: I agree with you about Flourish. Still, testing it for a couple levels was worth it. The stun seems unreliable at best, but I'd probably risk it in PvP. For PvE I'll be swapping Restoring Strike back in. Roar is useful, I also agree. I've hit 32 as I've worked through Helm's Hold. At 31, I maxed Steadfast…
-
Thank you!
-
Just a small update. Made it to level 30 with the first two Helm's Hold Quests. I picked up Flourish, Rank 1, to test it. It's taking Restoring Strike's place for the moment. But, if I like it, I may swap Restoring back in, and put Flourish in place of Roar. +1 to all stats gives me Str/Dex/Con of 19/18/18. I took the…
-
Trickshaw, Can you please explain why you think Power's not a good stat? I'm curious about that. Thank you.
-
Neverdeath is finished and I'm up to level 29. 28 and 29 were identical for buys: Weapon Master 2 and 3 for Powers, and Devastating Critical (+5 percent to crit damage per level) 1/3 and 2/3. Healing potion use is going up a bit, but not that badly. As much as I do like my wizard, I'm thinking more about grabbing a cleric.…
-
I'm having fun with wizard, though you can never go wrong with cleric.
-
I've finished off the Pauper's Field half of Neverdeath, and I did a Cragmire Crypt run. The Cragmire run was interesting. GF, CW, 2 TR, and myself. That's right. No cleric. No deaths, no issues. I came in second for damage behind one of the TRs (628k to 541k, the GF was next, then TR 2, and the CW). I'm pretty happy with…
-
@ chronomancer: I haven't felt weak at all. While I kill slower than say a TR, I also can drop 3 or 4 mobs at once, which is nice mitigation. @voodoogroves: I totally agree that the Encounters are not the flash of GWF. They're not terrible, but they're not by any means the focus of the class. I think Encounters trump…
-
I strongly disagree that it sucks. I'm currently levelling a GWF and writing a diary about it over on the Fighter forums. I'm up to 24 and haven't seen suck at all. I find it a lot of fun to level, and am having no issues at all with leveling speed or difficulty.
-
I finished off the Hills - except for the Crypt, which I'll queue for later, once my wizard is done training. I did do Storming the Keep. 2 GFW, 2 DC, GF was the group. Pretty easy run. I was second on damage to the other GWF (292k to 256k). I was first in kills, he was second (86 to 76). I played much better. I was…
