I am not a good…
I am a founder and can add the title ... and it is based on experience ... and if you have no GF you will learn soon that having a bubble for 50% damage reduction is almost 100% necessary ... I am on dragon ... Name is Glymm Frost ^_^ feel free to check the founder and the experience :)
They did after BW4 ... I am sure if they feel it is still out of balance they will adjust again. They have been quick to make adjustments per beta weekend. I imagine now in open beta it will be even faster. Remember they are trying to fix current issues while getting content people are screaming for as well. Can't believe…
that fight is also a 15 minute fight requiring active coordination and active peeling of adds ... the point is ... an organized group peeling adds and the cleric acting as a heal/buff/debuff ... Controller/Leader is exactly what they advertised the class as ... not as a stand still and hope they live ... also if you watch…
So the cleric almost died a few times in an epic level 8k dungeon ... and one of the 2 wipes before making a progression kill the last 2 people alive had a cleric being massacred ... man I was wrong .. wait ...
Yes takes initial damage as it is an action oriented game ... but like you said ... the group immediately pulls them all as this game is more about add management then it is about boss mechanic management .... just a different school of thought and one that doesn't let baddies tunnel vision game through progression
hmmmm I disagree with elite being a requirement ... I am NOT a solid gamer ... at all ... I am a good communicator though ... even if rude people hear me ... if they want to keep needing on loot I explain just kill all the adds this is a long fight and we win ... they usually understand kill adds get loot ... healers used…
the game is in ... BETA!.... and if your group knows what they are doing ... and you trash the school of thought that all mmo gameplay has a healer hiding with dps grouped by the tank holding all the mobs ... neverwinter active gameplay is actually pretty cool ... the mid game dungeons through epic require your group to…
provided in earlier post ... twitch.tv/piexoxo ... videos on the side ... they are in castle never currently ... they cleared most 8k dungeons yesterday
It is really a shame that people think it is the devs fault that you have adds on you and that tanking or surviving is not what the class was sold as ... you aren't tanking .. you are surviving .. instead of have a shout taunt from the tank they made you move ZOMGGGGGGGG <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> ... again watch…
Not necessarily OT at all times ... your group should be handling adds at ALL times ... that is a change from big guy tanks it all and healer hides in the back dps groups up ... trash that thought ... clerics/rogues/wizards need to be able to take a hit or two ... because of all the adds ... twitch.tv/piexoxo ... has…
You are doing it wrong ... and your group is WAY WRONG ... Watch good end game groups ... 1 of every class ... the game is just designed differently then what people are used to ... Example the green dragon fight Idris I think ... they use a wizard to kite the boss and EVERYONE including the tank handles adds ... the…
Cat ... then there is CAT then there is ummm ... the CAT :) .... cat gives 100% of the stats you put on it to you and doesn't die in combat ... for end game ... it is the cat ... leveling the most fun pet I have had is the Acolyte of Kelemvor ... it grants a 10% damage shield and 10% lifesteal based on your stat and the…
You need to watch high end gameplay and look at Cats and Ioun Stones particularly allure ... The way the pet works it transfers 100% of the stats it has to you ... and stays alive in any fight as they are non combat pets ... every major endgame group is running 5 cats ... example ... says Grants Crit and Recovery .. but…
did not mean to imply the cat gave lifesteal ... the acolyte gives lifesteal and shields ... which seems to lean towards GWF and Rogue ... the cat seems to give stats that a cleric is looking for while the Stone of Allure seems stat heavy towards a mage as it reads "Bonuses to Magic Spells" ... this topic is geared towards…
pretty sure that one is pvp based ... if it is stat based for physical damage it may work for GWF but it would need to be quite a buff to replace 10% lifesteal or crit/recov from cat
The cat gives a standard buff ABOVE the stone based one. The cat doesn't actually attack though ... the panther would be great if it could respond to you being in combat but so far mine sucks ... Reading tons of other posts and buffs that are incoming like books to upgrade all companions to 30 it looks like ... Cleric -…
Rank 30 pets do not die easier or become useless but the Iuon Stone and Cat give direct buffs to your stats and with the rune stones that increase your stats as well it seems that these 2 are in the end the best 2 for general use. cat: 980k diamonds - 255 crit, 225 recovery base added slots: neck, waist, ring + 3 rune…
