Guard is fine. It can vary a lot based on what feats you have. certain ones boost it. Also your mitigation will affect your guard meter. When damage comes in your mitigation will reduce the base damage and then gets applied to your shield if you are blocking. Also helps to know when to block and when not move out of the…
Yeah there are still a few places where it is easier to kite them. Glad to hear its working well. I will look for the request. Im on the road for work this week, so its hotel lag central here. Professions and invocation is enough of a challenge lol.
The build is actually fun in PVP for a defensive standpoint. You will not get as many kills, but you get a ton of assists. Its also a riot watching 4 people beat on a TR or CW and you absorb the damage. As far as armor sets go the stalwart and grand regents have the same set of stats and base set bonuses with the plus in…
I would probably take the hit in ubiquitous shield if I was doing without the 3 points from being human. But you can always check on the preview shard to see which works better for you.
Since the stone companions transfer 100% of their stats, its a great for filling out areas in your build that may be lower depending on gear. Personally I run items with crit and armor pen to keep that bumped up. I cant remember which Icon I am using atm, and I am patching test atm. Once I get in I will edit this. For…
No, not yet. Ive been swamped at work with an out of town project. Hotel internet is not even close to being able to run protectors enclave lol. I want to as soon as I get the time.
Some initial thoughts on the first Sharandar area... I like the new mob mechanics, it was nice to see some different types of attacks: * Prowies - AP Drain * Withers - Channeled Full heals * Different AEO attacks on others It definitely makes it a bit interesting. The mobs by themselves went down easy, but if you don't pay…
From playing around on preview, I am really liking the new monster mechanics. From Boss fights that are not a ton of adds, to mobs with new powers, like AP drain. It will make for a ton of changes to how people play the game...In a good way I think.
All of my gear on my right side is the same gear that I had when running the conqorer path. I am still working on the optimal set of stats to slot over there. I have tried going with Deflection, Defense, Recovery and/or HP gear, but the impact semed to be minimal, compared to the gear I have currently. I still want to be…
The level 20 weapons do require dragon eggs, but from what I saw they seem on par with T1 weapons. Residium on the other hand is required for all of the crafting tasks to make weapons.
I am not sure what causes it either. I run dungeons with my build focused on KV alot, and Ive had it lock up only twice. I stand in AOEs alot, so I am not sure if that is waht triggers it. Seems similar to the unstoppable bug the GWF's get.
From what I saw the stats on the purple GF items are about on par with T1. I haven't seen and purple rares yet though. I seem to recall a post about it being there to offer a lot more weapon skins for players. My biggest gripe about the whole profession is the shear number of residium you will go through leveling it up.
Good Idea. I think if more people would pop over to to the test shard and help actually work through changes, so that they can post actual, fact based quantifiable data in regards to changes to the game it would help things a lot. It would certainly be a hell of a lot more productive than all the hot air on the forums.
I like the fact that it feels like you have to actually put in some time/effort/ and items in teh form of AD or gold to get some of these things. However I think there will be alot of rage from the "I want it now, for free, with no effort, and why not with a respec coin while you are at it" crowd. They will have gone from…
I would agree, the only thing unstated is the actual chance for some of them to proc. It may be low. I mean take the Elven Tranquility one... A chance when struck to heal 30% of my Defense. Thats a chance for a 1500 HP heal every time I am struck. If the percentage is high enough thats totally crazy. I run Knights valor on…
The stalwart set should work well also as a T1 set. Not sure of actual numbers, as I am out of game atm, but i know it has defense and deflection on it, and you get +400 defense for the 2 piece set. Just keep in mind that you have no power in the gear itself, so without the conqueror spec you will lose alot of the base to…
Permanent passives. It looks like it is not a fast thing to earn either. Based on the fact that the 1st campaign block takes 20 hours to unlock. Also I could not see anywhere where you would have the ability to respec these passives. They are on the new campaign tab, not on your character screen. It will take a couple days…
