  • This is exactly it. It's just something you get used to and watch for after being DO for awhile. I don't find it to be an issue at all. The only issue (especially with loadouts) is when swapping between DO and AC frequently you may forget to keep a watchful eye out for those extra divinity gains and then wonder for a…
  • I think, as many have said, there are many ways to build a group, and unless you are gunning for some speed records, it largely doesn't matter. Many compositions have there pros and cons. Buffs of all sorts, be it DC, SW, CW, OP, whatever, are always welcome. If you're saying other classes are viable buffers, then…
  • Interesting. I'd say the 3 to use are dread, plague, or frost with the rest not being worth it.
  • Right on. Thanks very much for the test! My understanding though is that frost is "double mitigated" so against lvl 73 mobs the debuff is more like 5% (shot in the dark number; not accurate). Do you find it beneficial in the higher end content? Also, does the cooldown on frost get reset once out of combat (similar to how…
  • I currently use a trans dread but am debating swapping it out for a different weapon enchantment. I'm specifically looking at frost or plague. I've read a little about the 2 enchantments and it seems plague is perhaps the better choice. I also think I have a decent understanding on how it works/is mitigated/etc. But Frost…
  • Do you guys know if the Dragonborns 3% racial bonus to power is shareable? I would think that it would be but not certain (and a tad expensive to test myself!). Thanks for any input!
  • Really? Wow, thats actually quite reasonable......I'm honestly shocked it's that low
  • Pretty much my plan as well, with a 4th loadout for PVP purposes (probably similar to the AC Faith build but with different boons / different equipment)
  • I think its a little dependent on what you are trying to achieve. Perhaps if you want a little more healing, the various +x% to outgoing healing are good (polar bear for example). Or if you want a little more damage the various +x% damage are good (air archon for example). For an AC that is focusing on buffs, I think the…
  • Well in principle you are correct, except that a) PoD is slooooooow to cast compared to BTS which I am not a fan of when trying to keep my rotation/ap gain going. b) While 27.5% vs 30% is indeed close, you are gaining that boost to your damage different ways (PoD reduces the defense of the target (thus increasing your…
  • From what I heard/understand, there were some companions where the LOWEST they could be was purple (only available in Zen store for example). Because of this, their "base" active bonus was set at the purple level. So when they introduced new methods of obtaining these companions at lesser tiers (green/blue), they didnt add…
  • Is there no way to have the power points all auto-fill after selecting your paragon path if the player has the max power points? This will obviously only help a select few, but it is annoying to have to go through all your powers when there is zero potential to do anything different anyway.
  • Well I mean I agree in principle Putzboy. When you think of "dailies" it's not something you inherently think would be spammed. That's something I agree with...in principle. But I mean daily spamming is a big part of nw currently and DC's certainly aren't the only class that has (had) ap generation allowing for the…
  • Ok. Well thanks guys! I felt like I was taking crazy pills when most people were saying it's basically business as usual. The double daily using sigil is disappointing since we could already do that (at least aa, hg, aa onward). I can now drop one more hg at the end before coming back to reality but that comes at the cost…
  • I'm debating going back to AC. With TI being basically mandatory, I hate having to choose between holy fervor (which is what I use) and any other option. Maybe I just have unrealistic expectations. I thought I'd (as a DO) be perma hg'ing with 1 or 2 flame strikes / divine auras in between. But reality is that I can barely…
  • Not the poster you responded to but I notice it as well on target dummies. I'm trying to a) get as close to 60% armor pen without wasted points and b) get my crit up as high as possible. I don't have any of the boons that temporarily boost my crit (went recovery instead) and don't have any feats that affect my armor pen.…
  • 30 more minutes! But ah need mah NW!!!
  • While I think it's reasonable to assume an ACDC will have more base power to share then a DODC (and thus, will share more power through WoL), since both have access to WoL, and both will most likely select it, it's probably better to ignore that feat for the most part when comparing TI vs power sharing.
  • I bought the "jagged dancing blade" and brought it to purple as it's active bonus kinda implies it is a defence debuff similar to the con artist. I convinced myself (while doing zero research) that having the con artist (as summoned) apply its 10% debuff, and the jagged dancing blade apply another debuff (as an "active"…
  • Yup it's kind of silly really. Your team is too good and so your reward is a completely unavoidable death. Enjoy! we are in a similar boat. The only solution is to make sure people "go slow" to give her time to cast the icicles. It's counter intuitive but I don't know of anything that will help you survive right now.
  • Yup I did just that (test BoB) when I got home from work. I can't believe I never noticed that until now. Feel quite dumb! But nevertheless, it's workable in most areas of the game. Still, I am now leaning more toward DO. Still curious if anyone has tested the range of TI though.
  • Err, how in the world have I not known this until now???? That positively blows. Though perhaps since most people stay close (for AA), the poor range hasnt been a huge issue, but still; ugh! Has anyone tested the range on TI? Is there a comparable? AS (like BoB; arg!!!!!)? BoH? HG?
  • Hmm. I perhaps need to test this further. I've always assumed (just from my own experience and little testing), that BoB's range was quite large (like HG large)? What is the range of BoB? For that matter, what is the range of the "new" TI?
  • Can I use this quote as my signature? :) This is what I'm not understanding in many of the posts going on throughout these forums and others. Obviously experiences vary due to the ilvl of both the DC and their group. But assuming we are talking about high end runs, I don't see why everyone is losing their collective minds…
  • This is true, but using only BoB is kinda silly as well. I think DO will be an amazing build (and one I will definitely try out), and a great complimentary DC to an ACDC, but I still think ACDC reigns supreme for most content; particularly with high end characters. The 80k power self buffed GWF is pretty highend and a good…
  • Definitely agree with your 2 cents. Immortality is one thing (one in which I think is exaggerated anyway; but I digress), but I think many groups are going to struggle with these changes. I'm sure that in time people will adjust. But that's assuming they take the time to adjust rather than throw their arms up in the air…
  • . While some of the posts recently have seen a lot of dev activity, it's not really the norm. The deafening silence seems to be far more standard and expected. But perhaps it's also because many of these posts are tacking on wishlists for more DC changes. I think that's valuable - and a good conversation to have - as so…
  • I'm confused by whats being reported (sorry, scrub console player here). Is the "archer in RD" removing AA in seconds because he is hitting the character 4 times quickly? Or is it getting removed even before 4 hits are taken?
  • You might be right, and I don't know a ton about how the review process works. I'll keep my fingers crossed though. It's kinda lame "knowing" this stuff is coming but not exactly how it will work. Stunts my growth!
