In Neverwinter, your choice of deity gives you a title and it appears when players inspect you, but it has no game effect. This is primarily a balance issue; one god's benefit would be perceived as superior to all others, and everyone would pick that one. Your desire for unique animations is understandable, but there are…
My advice is the Guardian. They are tough, they have cool powers that look and feel good. Get yourself a cleric companion at level 17, when you get a quest for a free one, and you will be good to go.
The companions you receive from the later graveyard quest are higher quality than the ones you got at level 16. This makes them cap at rank 20 instead of 15. So there is a reason to pick the same type twice. The command to walk is much easier than you have written. Type into the chat window: /bind X ++walk Where X is the…
According to loading screen tips provided in game, dungeons are balanced against 5-man teams while solo quests are balanced against a hero + companion. There is some resistance to using companions in a dungeon because it makes healing harder; all the additional NPCs make it hard to target the dying. If you don't want to…
A wand for the wizard was available from the Wondrous Bazaar for Astral Diamonds. But I did not see it when I looked again in BW4. This same merchant sells various other high end weapons, including axes and maces. So that is the place to look. The items are all high level, and cost a ton of diamonds. But in theory you…
I'd like a place for roleplaying topics in general. Roleplayers aren't interested in most of the guilds in the guild forum, they're constantly asking questions like "Help me make a background for my character" or concerning the lore, and of course many enjoy forum RP. Outside sites are all well and good, but as STO players…
Seven Against Thay has a theme: We battle the Red Wizards! We're a roleplay-focused guild for all races and classes. There's a link in my sig that will take you to our website, and we have a recruiting thread here on the forums.
Companions will be in your mailbox waiting for you when you get out of the tutorial at level 4. If you want to buy one, you can also do that at level 4. Companions are not level restricted. Comoanions with a third skill acquire that skill at rank 30, and it is a passive or proc that buffs one of their other powers. So they…
Personally, I say you might be worrying too much. The Devoted Cleric did get a self-healing nerf a ways back, but it got fixed to a middle position and I would say your main problem now is not your hit points, its your aggro. I would recommend the Man at Arms, which has the rep of being pretty good at threat and aggro…
It is true that Ice powers are the primary control set. If you avoid ice, you can control, but you will never be as good at controlling as an arcane/ice controller specialist. However, you will have better DPS, even without Ice Knife. Before your paragon path begins, you will rely on Entangling Force, Arcane Singularity,…
The community at Neverwinter RP held a vote and Mind Flayer won, so that is where the Seven will be formed. It will all be a moot point when the shards are merged, but if you're looking for us at launch, that is where we'll be!
The dire wolf is a striker companion with a little crowd control when he knocks targets prone. I used a hawk in the first beta weekend and liked it. It is a fast and mobile single target dps guy.
Loading screens in the game make it clear that the game is balanced so that solo characters have a companion. Companions allow the designers to do all kinds of things which would not be possible if, for example, controllers had no one to tank for them or DPS characters had no healer. But, as others have noted, the game…
I just wanted to briefly welcome everyone visiting Beta for the first time. If you're looking for a Foundry adventure, search for B2: The Keep on the Borderlands, designed by one of our members! We also have a live tabletop DnD game going, if you're looking to play with more options than NWO provides. See you in game.
When you're picking powers to focus on, there are some important decisions to make: 1. Are you going to focus on Arcane or Chill, or try to use both? There are separate class feature powers for each of these, including one that lets your Arcane damage bonus work on Cold powers. 2. Which of the three Paragon feat paths are…
You actually have 4 choices at level 16, one tank (man at arms), one leader (cleric), one DPS (dog) and one controller (the wayward Drow wizard). At the end of the graveyard chain you get a cleric of green quality, which gives it a higher max level than the white quality dude you picked at level 16. Another quest almost…
