My question is, if the dungeon costs 50k in AD just to enter the place, how long before you get that AD back by doing the dungeon (on average)? Is it worth it from a cost-benefit ratio? Personaly I think it sucks you have to pay to enter a dungeon, and the fee is not small. But if I have to run the dungeon 15 times just to…

Content and class design go hand-in-hand. Go ahead an make an oppressor build and don't take shield and AS and see how many T2 dungeons you get invited to play. There is a good reason nobody uses Sudden Storm in T2 dungeons, but work perfectly fine in killing minions in 30-59 content. Sure make a character that chooses the…

Weapon Enchants and Armor Enchants are the big prize in endgame. You can creat a lesser version of anything pretty easy. Most people can afford or obtain a coalescent ward. For less than the price of a ward you can buy 50 of the shards and eventualy you will get a successful fuze, even at 1% chance. Higher levels will cost…

It is largely because of 2 things: 1) A small developer force that has very short deadlines and very little resources to adeqautely design, test, and balance. So many bugged feats with inaacurate and/or vague information on powers. 2) There are 3 games within this game. PvP, 1-59, and endgame. They designed for 1-59 and it…

I would absolutely kill for a Lightning Storm power in my Spellstorm Mage! Da%^ I miss my Storm defender, now that was a fun class to play.

The world needs optimists, but this game is hemorrhaging players at an alarming rate. The reasons are many, but a good deal of it is because there are not viable and alternative power and feat choices + it is very difficult to make your character look unique in a role playing game. I know Cryptic. Combat is fun from 1-59.…

When you don't know the answer to question, the answer is: It's always about the money! The only reason I PvP with my CW (that is not a viable PvP player compared to TRS, GWF, & GFs) is to earn glory, so I can convert to gold so I can buy kits and healing potions. That is the only reason. When you have some classes that…

I agree with your overall goal, however I am deeply cynical considering Cryptic's history. I think you need to understand that Cryptic just threw this stuff together with very little thought on how the various powers, feats, and abilities synergize. They likely have a small staff and very short timeline/deadlines to get…

I am sure the reason many things are not account wide. The big one is that you could exploit it buy creating some sham characters, unbind the purchased item and then sell them on the AH. Create another character, rinse and repeat. Of course you could make all these items character bound, but that would be a big change and…

Yea in looking at your data it appears to me that the mechanic for triggering AP and the mechanic for triggering storm spell must be the same. I have always liked Ray of Frost and use it all the time on bosses between the add waves as a means of generating AP, and with the storm spell triggers, while not change the world…
-
My experience is Ray of Frost generates AP more quickly and my quess that is what is also triggering Storm Spell to trigger more on Ray of Frost as well. No hard data to back it up, just subjective observation.

Is this the Arcane Wanderer Set?

Thanks for taking the time to do the testing. Crytic should rename their company Cryptic Irony since they can't ever seem to get the math right and rarely disclose the mechanics/details of powers/abilities/feats and Irony because for a Spellstorm Mage build the storm powers and associated feats are by far the weakest and…
-
I agree that the zen prices are to high for what value I think they deserve. However, and I think more importantly I think this game model and Cryptic/Perfect World have been intentionaly vague with its descriptions to the point of bordering on dishonestly selling you things that do not work as advertised, or do not allow…

The 60K AD per item (4) to transform is cost prohibitive. I just don't have that kind of AD to throw around on cosmetics. I would rather spend my limited AD and gold on things to make my character perform better like higher level enchants. Conversely I might even be willing to hide my armor so I could see my pants and…

While your at it please replace the kinky male leather and spikey gladiator <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> on steroids Champion Control Wizard Armor from GG with something that actualy looks like wizard robes. Seriously, what in the nine hells were you thinking when you designed that one?
-
After much soul searching and considering how I play/role in T2 dungeons, I have decided to go "Chill-Free". I am not going to worry about chill stacking at all. Once I decided to drop Icy Terrain and Chilling Cloud, and focus on Arcane things cleared up for me. Now that it looks like some of the feats are going to get…
-
I guess if your into patchwork leather and spikes...like I said...that is NOT what comes to mind when I think "control wizard". I guess if floats your boat, or whips...hehe

CWs in PVP are best described as gnats. Annoying and easy to kill or swat. The only people you will be able to kill consistently are newbies that don't have good gear and you do have some decent gear with armor penetration. I routinely get 3-5 kills and 50 assists per game. I also lead the team in being killed as it is…
-
It has got to be the ugliest set in the entire game. The game designers must have spent at least 20 minutes designing it so they could get it out the GG update out of the door. It looks like a warped version of gladiator armor crosses with some wierd sadomasochism themed wannabe. Sad things is it will cost you 60k to…

To put the problems of Neverwinter simply: The games incentivizes quick farming over any type of other play. Long tedious dungeons at T2 that provide no sense of adventure other than zerg attacks, with high hit point mobs. D&D is supposed to be a role-playing game! There is little to no roleplaying going on. The game is…

Sorry I can't be of help, but as much as I wish it wasn't true, a lightning spec is not a viable build for endgame. Pumping out dailies is a big part of your life at 60. Shield, Tabbed EF, Ray of Frost, and Pillar will help you do that. In order to maximize you need arcane stacks before you activate your shield. Storm…

I have never gotten a blue ward from a celestial purchase. They are insanely priced and it is driving me away from the game. I like to PvP but i just cannot compete with the farmers that have made millions off exploit farms. They are running around in rank 7 and 8 enchants with top tier gear and millions of AD. I earn a…

Your statement is correct in that much of this is my perception, and no I have not run a parser. Data would be nice, but I just don't have the time. You are also correct in that I am desperately trying to develop the synergy of feats and powers, and one reason for the post is that I don't feel like I have a good synergy.…

This is a big problem for the T2 dungeons. The "elite" who have done the same dungeons 20 times (a problem in itself) only want experienced players so they can breeze through and farm the dungeon. The whole purpose is to farm it. This is fun? So how does a new level 60 player learn? I have joined 2 guilds and both have…
-
I don't know who did, but I have no gone through 2 guilds that have up and vanished essentially as everyone pretty much as quit or does not play anymore, and T2 Pugs have been an excercise in pain and suffering.

I would love it more if elemental empowerment actualy worked with IT as it is supposed to! I go back and forth on using the spell or not. I like that it is a quick cast, It works great if you have a weapon enchant (I have a normal lightning which makes it fun). In reality it rarely locks down 1 or 2 mobs unless you cast…
-
No real difference, all between around the 80 range which is as expected for the orb I own.
-
This happened to me. I took off ALL my gear and then put it back on again and it returned to previous levels. I am not sure what piece was bugged or if it was my ion stone, but it finally returned to pre-patch levels.

The feat "elemental empowerment" does not seem to be triggered for Icy Terrain
