If you are 1v3, and you can kill one of those 3 fast with that vorpal or plagfire, you ended up 1v2, which will prolong your fight / survivability. Being all defensive is a big no no as gwf, since if you cant kill your foe, they will kill you fast, especially with well placed cc / i.e., prone on you. Hence it is why vorpal…
based on steamroller's numbers, the nerf to dps (in the form of dmg resist) is more than 50%, thus making healing (after healing depression) at minimum equal in effective compare to live server (if not MORE effective hehe).
Additive is way better / more powerful than multiplicative for sure. i.e., in an extreme case where dmg resist has no cap, if you have 80% dmg resist already, a flat additive 20% dmg resist will mean you take no dmg, while in multiplicative, you still take (1-(1-80%)*20%) = 16% of the original dmg, which means the 20% dmg…
I dont even care about the math, since after all the talk, the result is what matters. For a IBS hit on HR that is currently doing 15-18k dmg to change to 2.5-5k dmg with PVP gears on, that is just over the top too much. They have to look hard on this new stat, as it will make tanks out right unkillable, and also affords…
steamroller did some test and posted in the tenacity feedback; major nerf to dps to ALL CLASSES. IBS crit on live hitting 15-18k on HR, in preview, with the HR having 4 pcs of GG pvp set, the dmg is reported to be 2.5-5k!!! ALL pvp will drag on forever! :)
for pve you can go all the way to strength as you have enough tankiness to be a tank even at low hp / con ... go destroyer and get decent / high recovery and get the armpen feat (25% armpen from Reco); high ap gain / lower cool down means more dps. All others are just fill ins for aoe and you are set. As for crit, if you…
Just off the top of my head, i guess both GF and GWF have to earn their place in PVE when their gear up, so they are more 'modest' in their attitute in PVP?
This build in end game is rediculusly good. I lvled my cw 2 days ago and bought the archmage set and spam my encounters like a pro :) get a stone and put armpen in there... I didnt stack crit as eots proc often enough with lowered cool down from set bonus. Sitting at 31xx rec 2200 armpen (when stone finished lvling) and…
so if they dont stack, there is no pt in getting them while they are on sale, as i am pretty sure they will hand one out when new paragon path is made available. Great sale! :(
Fey Thistle: When you Deflect an attack you deal 400 damage to your attacker. ==> if you have even decent % in deflect, this is going to be your best pick. I have 34% deflect+10% from weapon mastery stacks, and I parsed a evenly matched pug pvp game, this single boon have done almost 30% of my total dps in the entire…
A GF in my guild just told me last night, with the AP generation capability of his GF, he can build up daily really fast, and he will slot the steel defence class feature to get his 5 sec immunity every 10-15 sec (no sure how he does it for fast AP generation, he is the expert on his GF obviously), so I dont know, maybe…
The preview server is for bug identification I would think, as for OP'ness of a certain build / class, truth is there is not that many premade vs premade in the preview server to even suggest which build is OP / unkillable. So at this stage, to even suggest a nerf to a build that no one has tested yet, or an outcry on how…
I am sick to see ppl calling out nerf before the **** thing is live. If you call out for nerf, go after the rangers. They have 6-8 dodge-like abilitys, insane crit, and lower cool down when crit, and so many other OP powers. Wait until the changes are implemented, test it with some premade v premade matches, and you will…
If you want pve, there is nothing wrong with a bit less CON; go destroyer path and destroy everything in your path in dungeons, especially now we have better threat generation (still not enough for sure). if you want to specialized in PVP then CON is kind of low, but definitely not as bad as you think. I use to put all my…
it stays... just log in and go get kill by adds... i tested it... and i was able to get back to near 60% hp in sharandra ... in epic DD, maybe lower since adds hit harder, but still you will survive almost the worst case senario.
For sentinel gwf doing pvp, this is way better than 3-5 sec immunity. You retain your determination when you die / resurrect, thus you can pop unstoppable once resurrected (since like a heavy hit kills you as a sentinel), heal for about 9k over 3 sec if you have a greater, 5% from feat of unstoppable, and if you slot…
Also retraining tokens are FREE in preview. You can just retrain your toon with the new paragon path. I agree the synergy between the new cc skills and tankiness of GWF is as good as you can hope for. I am afraid they will nerf it before the thing goes live. I can already think of take down on a target, then rush in using…
This is from a GWF perspective; when you die, especially from a high dmg daily / encounter, you will have high determination, so once you resurrected, you can pop instoppable, then you are pretty much immune for 4-8 secs, then your regen kicks in, then your 1080*3 heal kicks in, then your temp hp kicks in from unstoppable.…
