@bloodyspamer Water weapons - I still do pvp.. I'll craft the new weapons for my main eventually that's why I decided to skip twisted. About the time I was going to get them the new weapons went up on preview so I decided to pass on it. My encounter powers change for each dungeon and situation. Solo'ing, T1s and etos, T2s…
Exactly. My warlocks tops 22k power and 12k crit usually :D @duckntroll Lesser ones don't matter for much though. 60% vs 285% is an obviously big gap. And how much each aspect their end game content contributes to performance, that's their game design, which is well and all that, but there's still room for improvement in…
I realize now that it's harder to judge a class potential by iLV only when bondings account so much of your total stats. I'm 3.4k ilv and I have no bondings and I'm certain that your 2.5k character upkeeps more stats with high rank bondings than mines. That could explain the gap as to why I wasn't able to complete content…
I think that's a great idea. This icon, could also tell the queue what your role is and what to consider you by. Inputting this icon could be restricted by feats. For example, only a temptation warlock who has taken temptation capstone can use the supporter icon and queue as a support. That's a good start. @tyrtallow I…
I know alot of players actually feel that way. However I haven't found another way around fixing the queue problem (maybe someone or a dev has a better idea than I do) How else can we make support warlocks recognized by the queue system as a support role? Any ideas are appreciated :) Thanks
@bloodyspamer Honestly I think most feats are all right now. Maybe a few of them (Snuff out for example) are still underperforming IMO. But overall I think the current feats are fine. The differenciation (Based upon my idea) would be encounter powers. Encounter powers would have different effects depending on your paragon…
I think it does matter. I little over a year ago I posted a gigantic thread of everything wrong and right about warlocks, including how TT was breaking the class, powers and feats that are underwhelming, bugs, etc. I then sent that giant list to Andy, our CM, so that he can xfer it to the devs. Alot of the things I…
@duckntroll Alot of very interesting ideas, the more we provide the better. :) I particularly like how you clearly show the lack of role for the temptation warlock. It can't support a group properly, debuff/buffs are lacking, dps is lacking.. So why is it desirable?
@schietindebux Have you tried a few dungeons after change? From the dungeons I ran in comparison to before the patch, I just lost literally half of my dps.
I've ran alot of etos before the change, and after the change. A rough approximation is that I lost half (50%) of my total dps overnight with the patch.
Eagerly awaiting word from the devs or Andy on this. Literally before and after etos run I've dealt half of the dps I usually did. 50% dps loss is a big loss.
1. This is why i suggested each paragon would have different effects on encounter powers. This allows better differentiation between HB and SB paragons. (Paladins use the same mechanics, nothing new here) 2. By feats I assume you mean the last rows of temptation feats (to prevent splashing). In that case it could go many…
My suggestion of paragon path choosing which queue you are in would solve that. Soulbinder supports, Hellbringer dps. Of course, I appreciate any other creative idea that would resolve effectively this problem :)
@schietindebux I think you nailed how I feel about the temptation specs. :) The easiest way to see that the class is not well balanced is in harder content. Some groups dont even take tanks and healers in T1s and T2s, so being 'good' there hardly shows much IMO. CN is ok but still the real test is going to be FBI and…
@bloodyspamer I really like how you are pasionnate about your class. You mentionned SW temp being as desirable (or even more so than DCs) and I would love to see that being demonstrated when you come back from vacations. To plug a few numbers in, to prove that SW temp can be as good as a DC. Because from my experience…
@schietindebux @duckntroll In my opinion... Run times are an important part of a MMO. People only have so much time and if one class allows faster completion time because they are more effective in their roles, they will favor that class over another. That is the same debate reason why so many people complain about other…
Templocks have much more damage than DCs, so a good balance between buff/debuff/protection/dps must be found to keep both classes viable and desirable. :)
@duckntroll Thanks for your input, i especially like how you described quality vs quantity healing. Yes I've faced the problem of saving VE or KR just in for big damage bursts that requires urgent healing, further lowering my dps. @tom If templock had more interesting buffs that are desirable and fury cannot access I'd…
I think the more ideas we can brainstorm on the topic the better. @bloodyspamer When you get around to a new computer I'd be interested in seeing your runs of CN. I also do think that boosting few feats in the last rows of temptation would likely be a problem solver. Ideally if they were to do that I'd see them add more…
@schietindebux Thanks for your input :) how do you think is the best way to fix the lack of protection coming from a templock compared to clerics? I couldn't think of another way to balance everything out other than the one i presented above tbh. Reworking the last row of feats of temptation perhaps. Another route cryptic…
If you were around during m6 when the lv 70 cap was released and changes to lifesteal, the SWs were in a pretty terrible state. Personally I had never hoped myself that the devs would do something about it and I stopped playing saying to myself I'd come back the day they were gunna fix my class. And they did, it took them…
@bloodyspamer A temptation warlock has little more to offer in terms of buffing next to a fury or Damnation that splashed 3 points into temp for dark Revelry. So the nicest feat in temptation (IMO) any path can take it by splashing 3 feats into it. As for healing, I've never been able to sustain a group in Castle Never…
I can see where you're coming from, both playstyles are very different as is. If not, do you have another idea about how to address the Temptation issue? Yeah. Without any help to protection there is no amount of healing that'll help if my allies get killed in 1 shot. If you don't wish to see Soulbinders role change, how…
