  • I mained a CW from launch till M4 when I switched to my current SW main. Sticking with my Warlock despite how much more useful I would probibly be as a CW :P
  • I'll admit you have lost me now but if it is of any help the full damage formula as tested by Kaelic is: Damage = C1* (1+(STAT-10)/100)* ((1+WD*0.00846)* (0.9+rank/10)* (1+power*0.00006)) "C1 is a damage co-efficient unique to each ability, STAT is the relevant class ability score which gives a bonus to damage (i.e. STR…
  • Pretty sure it doesn’t work that way. If it works the same as the CW Learned Spellcaster feat that does the same for the Intelligence stat, each point in Blood Pact adds 1% damage +.01% damage per point of Constitution over 10. So using your examples you would get: 11 constitution = 1% damage (+5.05% “Blood Pact of Cania”)…
  • What enchantment where you using? If it was a terror, lifedrinker or something that adds + damage I will bet the first tick of 0 was from the enchantment not the power. On a related note try those enchantments with dreatheft, and you will see a bunch of 0's pop up during the channel all from the weapon enchant doing no…
  • This ^^ occurred to me too with the added dimension of Armour Penetration in PvP. Arpen seems to scale at 70 very similar to how it does on live at 60, while defence now has much harsher return on investment. This kind of makes defence a dead stat in pvp unless I'm missing something here since it will be possible to void a…
  • I can concur with Anima^^ The new inverted lifesteal model doesn't feel much different then live when you are lvl 60 with 14% but as soon as you hit 61 and new stat curve takes over you loose 10% or so LS and boy does it feel different. Just for the hell of it I respected to soulbinder (hellbringer on live) to see how that…
  • Got the exact same as this fellow, it looks like a weird interaction with the passive and the soulbinder soulspark mechanic. Feedback: Bug: All Consuming Curse class feature + Soulbinder Pargon Path (additional info to add to quoted post) If you test All Consuming Curse on the target dummies in the trade of blades and go…
  • Have you run a poll of why people don't play warlock and came up with 'because its a weak bad class' as the answer? Also I'm not seeing this top gear SW vs HAMSTER gear CW nubbie comparison, the comments in these post compare SW to CW of equal if not better gear. Indecently you were talking about gear in you OP stating how…
  • This is spot on, the distinction between Burst and DoT damage is huge and often deceptive on the pain giver chart depending on the dungeon environment. Your trying to make balance suggestions basses on the CW class which is not exactly a paragon of balance itself having both ridicules control and damage potential making it…
  • A bit more context of what you are trying to kill would be helpful for getting you a more precise answer, are you talking about killing bosses, trash mobs or players in pvp?
  • Speaking of amusing ways to go out, it can be quite funny to slap Bargain and hellish rebuke on a GF with guarded assault and watch the numbers bounce :) About half the time the GF will go down before so that's a plus.
  • Awesome man, thank for the info! Just recently changed from a temptation spec to a build modelled on yours (with slightly less gear) and been loving it so far!
  • What kind of % are you getting from your 1500 combat advantage? trying to decide on what state to aim for on my newly epic offhand :)
  • Sounds like you probability want to check out the Executioner path, It seems designed to cater to the one-shot type build. I have no experience with that kind of spec myself (other than being hit by it) so I hesitate to recommend a build but stuff like Arterial Cut, Last Moments, Exposed Weakness, Shadowborn and Shadow of…
  • Unfortunately I suspect this will get changed. I think it is a holdover from the original Soulbinder build that had a max of 5 sparks which would have been +2.5% deflect at full sparks and is much closer to the other options power-wise.…
  • He's got a legendary Plated Belt of Constitution that adds +4 to his constitution score, that's what's got you confused. IMO Gates of Hell is flashier then it is effective. Aiming it is not the problem so much as the delay before it actually fires giving mobs plenty of time to wander off, get thrown across the room by…
  • Pretty sure this: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?787471-preying-mantis-PVE-executioner-module-5-glass-cannon-build&highlight=mantis is the only close to up-to-date PVE guide around, it was done before mod 5 launch so there might have been some tweaks. I know the Shadow of Demise feat is changed/bugged. I…
  • Your Feats seem okay to me, noting stands out as a particularly poor choice. What encounters/powers are you using? As a fury build you probably want to be using dreadtheft combined with Warlocks Bargain which is pretty optimal for dps and boosts your defences as well. practice strafing with dreatheft to stay out of enemy…
  • Hay mate Your aims for having both good Aoe and single target damage while having solid life steal is pretty achievable on a warlock, those are the three strength of the class really. I’m not a pro per say but I can tell you what I use to get the job done: This is all end game so use what you have available as you level…
  • I haven't tested yet, but I think it will still be a worth while path. Allies will still get 25% more healing from your life steal than you do, so if your LS can keep you on your feet most of the time then it will still go a long way to keeping your friends on theirs. 'Teplocks' are great healers over time but with little…
  • Also are you a Fury warlock? If you are, I may have found why you are not seeing the orange number you expect to see. Fury warlocks have several feats that I would call 'damage amplifiers' they do an additional percent of any attack that triggers them. These include Murderous Flames, Executioners Gift and Creeping Death!…
  • Hello Alizea, I'm far from an expert, but in theory both builds are equally viable measured against each other. CHA build can out DPS a CON build but to do so it needs a vorpal enchantment and boosts to crit severity from boons, pets and feats. Without those, the Con build will probably be superior DPS wise and have the…
  • Aura of Cruelty does indeed apply to the warlock that's has it as well as his allies. My warlock has close to 20% life steal thanks to the boost from this feat :)
  • since your asking I assume you have the second boon book, congrats mate! I haven't tested since I don't even have the 4'th boon yet and I'm not sure if the increased healing stat from artifacts will work the same way but....I figure there is an easy way for you to test yourself if you have the boon book: Download the…
  • And as we all know: healing from life steal is 0 when your on the floor :)
  • More broken OP then HV giving a CW +30% boost to their damage and a 30% boost to every other member of the team while they are at it? Yeah ok man, I proved how broken it is all right.
  • Life steal is not based on your powers at all, it actual comes form the lifesteal stat on your gear. Provided you have gear with lifesteal stat on it, you will gain a % of the damage you deal with any and all powers. The more of the life steal stat you have the, the larger the percent healed. All classes have gear with…
  • And here we are using the CW (the poster child of balance) as the calibrating factor again. High Visor is not a good comparison for a set bonus like this: HV at 3 stacks is a partywide damage buff of 30%. Hellfire: boost's a SW's personal dps by 20-30% Sure Hellfire can help you hump the precious damage meter at the end,…
  • I was referring to this patch note from the preview server: Tyrannical Threat: You can no longer incorrectly generate AP while Tyrannical Threat is affecting you. This will probably go live with the next mod if not sooner. At present I can regain almost half of my AP by the time TT ends, more if there is something boosting…
  • Hunter Rangers did not get a free respec when their second paragon path came out in mod 3 so I would not expect one.
