  • I know people have been having issues, but every time i went to the link it looked fine. Im on Dragon so what you said if accurate makes sense now why some people are having problems. Sigh, i really wonder about this game, so many small issues that just make the game feel unpolished. Their lack of communication doesn't…
  • I like the idea of a debuff, but for a Guardian Class I like the idea of baking in the Damage debuff over giving everyone a dps increase.
  • My guess....Envy's setup. The two of them have almost exact same setups, only difference is gear. One is better for PVE (Rokuthy) one better for PVP (Envy). Envy's PVP Thread
  • NP, im just glad its helping people. ^_^
  • YW. its very simple, but easy to get lost (I did lol) if you dont know you need to transfer a character first. Than the option to access the test server shows up on the client. Spent a few min searching for a way to switch to the test shard before i ended up looking on twitter and just clicking the link they provided.
  • Nope everything is pretty much staying the same on our end. While this may make going the other 2 specs more vailable (more threat) it doesn't change anything for us fundamentaly. Sense every spec can "tank" mobs with the same sort of success (within a very narrow percentage) it comes down to utility, and what will help…
  • I haven't bought anything on the test server but it does appear to be all there and working.
  • That is currently what i am thinking as well. This patch feels more along the line of : Get everything actually working the way its supposed to (broken feats), throw a couple small buffs that we are sure GFs need (Threat & Block), than nerf a few abilities that are working far better than they are supposed to (Astral…
  • I think the spec will still be viable, they increased our threat gen by 35%, fixed a few bugs and tried to make Block more robust (10% increase in Block Meter). Overall small balance changes here and there, which is what i expected. Overall a nice buff. I just dont know if it will make the other specs more viable or useful…
  • and than well be stuck with stack CW and perma cc all targets....oh wait...
  • Our tab skill def needs to be looked at, only thing i use it for is to pull with. Tho i do try to mark several targets before they get to me. With a mark up even if the healer is healing (for instance if the party is finishing off the last few mobs and im pulling the next pack - first boss of Idris comes to mind sense i…
  • Agreed Cat/Stone is the way to go, its really the only way to go with every class. Untill pets spend less time dead than alive in boss fights cat/stone are the only pets that are viable. On the other hand they are a fantastic stat stick :P
  • While i agree we should keep as much discussion as we can in a few threads as possible, dkcandy why dont you back off. You responded to another thread about GF that was created today, about the same topic. This post was actually created yesterday. Why do you feel its ok to come in here and ***** at the OP/responders, but…
  • Tell me about it, I dont mind having a respec cost, but i think its currently too expensive. All the high cost of respec does is inhibit people experimenting with their specs. Many of us, myself included, wait to see what other people figure out and once we see something we like than switch. I like playing around with diff…
  • Threat definately needs some tweaks, especially for specs outside conq, but the suggestions you are making are completely contrary to their obvious design goals. They dont want us to be threat magnets. They want us working to maintain threat, which is why our marks go away when we get hit. That being said they do need to…
  • Be aware there are 2 ways to get aggro. 1) Raw Threat - Damage, Healing, Abilities that produce bonus threat. 2) Taunts - Cause mob to hate that person for X seconds and usually puts them at the top of the threat list. When a mob peals off a tank and goes for your pet, its not usually because they are producing more threat…
  • 60 2/4 Bulwark sigh. I have been very unluky with drops, stupid chest/helm. Tho i am full Epic gear, just dont have my 4 piece set yet which would make this even easier. What spec is your GF? With Conq spec and a Mage grouping up enemies and Cleave spam + marks i can easily keep mobs off my healer. They still beeline for…
  • A AoE taunt will NOT fix GFs problem. We already have a spec that can keep threat off of clerics AND does good DPS (AoE and Single target). Our "problem" is that there is currently no need for a def spec tank.
  • Yeh that's one of the misconceptions that people have about GF, that we just need threat. I already have that in Conq spec. Do i need more damage mitigation....it would be nice, but its not needed to complete content right now, and i would give up a lot of dps. Do i need more utility...again would be nice, but its not…
  • Dragon boss or Chest from Dungeon Delve
  • If your looking at DPS alone, you are correct. What the Stalwart set gives you is comperable dps as the other sets AND good def stats as well. Having the 4 piece bonus also allows you to block more often and not suffer as large of a DPS loss w/out it.
  • Its not "hard" <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> for 3 of the pieces, just time consuming depending on your luck. The helm is the only "hard" piece to get because you need a good group to down the final boss. They drop off the final boss of the dungeon, or if a dungeon delve is going on it can be in the chest. Best way…
  • Unforutnately not even close. 25% of 30kish = 7.5k Power 20% of (4-5k Defense) = 1.25K Power I dont have any Grand Regent pieces yet, so my math could be off, but i dont see us running around with hp level of defense.
  • Sorry was thinking it was being suggested we spec Prot and we would be ok doing so. Speed reading at work fail. I use into the fray constantly on most runs, especially clearing trash + any boss fights where i might be kiting adds or on the boss full time. Don't usually use KV, mostlly because i dont usually see the need.…
  • Specing this way sounds great, but we have reduced DPS, and have issues maintaing threat on mobs over dps/healers. or I can spec Conq, compete with rogues/GWF in DPS, have only slightly less damage mitigation AND be able to maintain threat on almost every mobs (all the ones that count anyway) and thereby prevent anyone…
  • The profession system is designed to reward people who are active. They want people logging in every 10min or 1 hour to do tasks, not queue up a bunch of stuff and come back 8 hours later. Personally i think some of it is a bit insane (10 min to mine ore, 10 min more to refine it, 25 min to craft armor and than if you want…
  • Respec - If they do change our mechanics greatly, than yes i would hope they would give us the ability to respec for free. Here is the problem, lets say they throw a lot of just bonus threat at us AND also make Block OP so it works amazingly well. This sounds like it would be perfect for us to switch over to Prot spec and…
  • The only "hard" piece to get is the Helm, but even thats doable if you get a group together and run it regularly to learn the fights. The other 3 pieces are fairly easy, but a bit repetitive if you have bad luck with drops. Depending on server you can even buy 1-2 pieces for cheap.
  • They didnt touch our dps, unless they introduced a bug somewhere. They fixed a bug where with specific gear and spec we could 1-2 shot bosses.
