  • Stats are better than Heroic Feat points. This will remain true even when the Heroic Feats are working properly. This is partly because for the most part, the GWF Heroic Feats are pretty bad other than a few that any race can get with the first 20 points. Also, you have to make your optimal build, using a level 60 build,…
  • Dev cleared it up. Let's just hope it performs like a T3 mount and graphically it mirrors the mount over in the corner next to the other mounts. That was the mount I was hoping to be purchasing. Also, Dev, the Clydesdale horse mount in the Zen store is Epic / Purple / Heavily Armored. I thought horses are a common breed ?…
  • So has this issue been fixed with the patch last night ?
  • Panther: Level 1 Claw: 1s cooldown. 32-39 Physical Damage. Damage is increased if Panther has combat advantage. Pounce: 5s cooldown. 20' range. 51-62 Physical Damage. Grants Combat advantage for a short duration. Charging Pounce (Level 30): Does 50% increased damage. Also knocks target prone. Vicious Dire Wolf: Level 1…
  • I've done the opening content soo many **** times already that this is great news ! lol ...
  • Just camp out at home for awhile, tis a gift to yourself. Stay out of the bar, no new clothes, lay off the beer, etc., and you'll come away just fine with it in the end.
  • IMO, as long as the horse mount looks like it does in the Guardian Pack illustration and is indeed Rank 3, all is forgiven, but if it doesn't !! ohh boyy ohh boyy !!!
  • Naa, dude if you want a spider mount just buy the HoTN pack. The Zen store mounts are only Horses, Wolf, Worg and a Howler. They did have a Bear but that was removed for some reason. It doesn't mean something may not be added in the future, but this is all their is for now.
  • I think I sprained my left pinky finger from using the "shift" key to block on my Guardian fighter. I don't blame you for remapping it, I ended up doing the same thing.
  • Pick what's fun, end of story.
  • The -25% combat advantage damage portion is pretty self explanatory. If the combat advantage damage bonus is 15%, yes, it would subtract 3.75% damage from it. Interestingly enough, I had slotted this in as a must have feat but I never actually considered what exactly the combat advantage damage bonus is and that's a pretty…
  • I went with Zen over any of the packs. The reason being is because I don't find any value in glowy items, forum titles, access to an empty room. I wasn't interested in being drow, I didn't need more character slots, the head start is useless (who cares !? who are you racing?) and beta access that I was able to obtain…
  • So you're saying the "Amulet of Protection" isn't actually an Amulet that you wear on your character ? you simply have it sitting in your inventory for the +1 AC bonus to be applied ? that doesn't make much sense. I'm not so sure about this ... where did you get this info from ?
  • Defense is a straight up percentage reduction to all incoming damage. Deflection is a percentage "chance" to reduce incoming damage by an additional 50% (as far as I can tell, you cannot increase the 50% number). Yes, they do stack with each other !
  • My personal opinion is that Argantis is correct in his overall assessment of the GWF. Everything you can find about the GWF (I've read everything and watching every video I could find) and including our own play testing points to a class that in an optimal form would strive for a balance between offense and defense.…
  • Tibberton is actually delivering a very good honest assessment of the racial stats and abilities as it pertains to the overall power of the character. He is correct that it means next to nothing and you should pick the race that you'll enjoy most. I know that some gamers find it fun to min/max and as Tibberton stated, that…
  • I can see Cryptic selling us different weapon skins in the future. Let's say you got an end-game weapon and you want it look like something else, why not sell us a skin to make it appear graphically as a different weapon ? it isn't p2w and a lot of gamers love creating a specific look for themselves.
  • I could be mistaken, but from what I can tell you'll be looking like a knight in shinning armor later on in the game. I think the progression takes you in that direction from all the videos / pictures I've seen. I also think it looks kinda funny seeing a horc in nice shinny armor, lol.
  • I believe companions can gain new abilities as they level up. One of the many things I didn't pay attention to, but wished I did, while playing. Anyone confirm this ?
  • The thing I like most about housing is the fact that Cryptic/PWE can make money selling fluffy items for the player housing. The more money made from fluff, the less money made from P2Win. It also gives people something else to do. I would include the heads as trophies off of monsters killed and add cool stuff like a…
  • Thank you for clarifying. I didn't realize this. I figured any points spent in that first row (top to bottom) went towards the next row (top to bottom). It didn't dawn on me that the points required to get to the next row (again top to bottom) is based on each paragon path by itself. Will be interesting to see how spread…
  • It also appears as though you don't have to pick a paragon path either. You have to put soo many points into the first row, starting from the top of the screen to the bottom, to goto the next row. So you can put all 30 points into all 3 paragon paths. Or am I mistaken ?
  • I thought about doing the same as you. I get the concept entirely. The problem you'll face is, when grouping, people are going to expect you to be all defensive and holding agro. They'll look at you like you're nuts for being an offensive version of the only real tank in the game. It sucks, I don't agree with it at all,…
  • I just need to correct an error that I see everyone making: The HUMAN race gets +3 Heroic Feat Points, NOT +2.
  • You can strike a nice balance of dealing damage and taking damage with the class. Most people just ignore the defenses entirely and then complain they are potion-popping-addicts. Under normal circumstances, our damage avoidance mechanic is mobility, but in order to melee you *will* get hit. So all you have to help you when…
    in GWF Tanking Comment by cerek2 March 2013
  • The Great Weapon Fighter is NOT a Striker (High offense, Soft defense), it's in the same Defender category with the Guardian Fighter. It is more offensive and less defensive than the Guardian fighter, but it is a Defender none the less. It's obviously second best at the role of tanking. Instead of the Shield, it uses a…
  • Obviously you can gain a slightly small edge if you pick a race that has stat bonuses and racial abilities that benefits your type of class. However, from what I can tell by the racial ability descriptions from the last beta and the way gear works, it's such a terribly small benefit that it just won't turn the tides of…
