I can empathize with the finding of the wife that "doesn't game herself". I found one that enjoys her cigarettes and booze. As long as she leaves me alone during my Gaming, it is wedded bliss. ...at least...as long as the cigarettes and booze last... (*hops in car and heads out to local Friar Tuck's for some cig cartons…

I plan on playing the Control Wizard as my main when the game goes live....but I will be patiently waiting for the Scourge Warlock and (hopefully) Archery Ranger to be released a few months from now. ...and then the Avenging Paladin.... ...and then...
-
Okay...I have a few more to add to my earlier post... Sorcerer I'm not sure which build to suggest...but an Arcane Striker with ranged abilities will receive lots 'o love! I want to throw the Elementalist (Sorcerer subclass) in there as well...but since they follow a bit different rules, I'm not sure how Cryptic would fit…
-
Yeah, I noticed that in the Renegade tree...the action point gains based on criticals now has a 10 second cooldown. I tried my proposed build as I had originally posted. I focused on INT (for damage boost and refresh boost) and WIS (for action point gain boost and refresh boost). I focused obtaining gear with Power +…
-
Interesting...I will have to try a crit-focused-build.
-
Let's not get all crazy here. Stealth is just fine - let's not haphazardly make comments about nerfing stealth. Stealth is exactly as it should be. Nothing to see here, Devs...the Trickster Rogue works just great...just move along...move along...
-
My tops would be: Avenging Paladin This is a no-brainer...what's DnD without Paladins? That's like making PB and J sandwiches without the bread. You can do it...but it is messy and not nearly as wholesome. Archery Ranger I read the melee Ranger is already in the game's software code...but we need bows! When I think of DnD,…

Um...are you sure the server is back up? My launcher shows the server is still down. :(

It is important to visualize the Bard in all its glory! Here, I think I can provide actual footage of the legendary Bard, Flynn the Fine! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOUksDJCijw You can clearly witness the Bard's skills being effectively utilized in the vid link above, at the following time intervals noted below: 17:24…

You don't have to wait or speculate on the GWF's utility power: http://nw.perfectworld.com/news/?p=799381 Specifically noted in the article: "...use Sprint, a rechargeable Utility Power, to close the distance on anyone attempting to escape their fate and deal the finishing blow!..." Based on the article, the GWF's utility…
-
I don't think you should worry. If you look at this vid with TotalBiscuit (specifically at 38:59): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0E6Yw-M1YY In the dungeon, a blue GWF Club (+2 Club of Ogrekind) was one of the loot drops. While there was not a GWF available at the time, it demonstrates that other weapons besides the ones…
-
Actually, the Daily Power does have a cooldown...you have to actually attack or be attacked to recharge it...it does not "refresh" by you just sitting there. While I do believe the mob difficulty (i.e. increase in mob's level of damage, level of defense, and amount of Hit Points) should be ramped up, I definitely do not…
-
Yes, during the first Beta Weekend, I mapped the Daily Power, Encounter Powers, At-Will Powers, the 3 usable item slots and my special ability (tab or shift, depending on class/build) to my Razor Naga. I only used the keyboard for WASD movement, spacebar jumping and "F" keying for quests/interaction with NPCs.
-
I also got a lot of GWF gear that had Life Steal (also, the gear had the word "Restoration" somewhere in the title). Just speculation, but I expect that the GWF, if properly geared, will be able to take on mobs adequately due to the life steal enhancement. As long as the GWF can continuously pour on the damage, then they…
-
I can't wait to try the Great Weapon Fighter, which hopefully will be available in the next Beta weekend in March; however, the Trickster Rogue's damage output is INSANE! That 'Bait and Switch' decoy stuff is wicked. I am not really into playing rogue-type characters, but I will have to say that players who love this type…
-
I wholeheartedly agree. We should be allowed to assign our stats instead of "rolling" only two choices. Or, have the game just assign us our initial stats automatically.
-
I hope Avenging Paladin is available soon after launch.
-
Since Avenging Paladin is not ready at this time, I will play a Human Great Weapon Fighter first. I also enjoy Cleric (but more melee-oriented Battle Cleric than the ranged-healing of the Devoted Cleric), so that will be second (maybe Dwarf for race).
-
Thanks for the info.
-
LOL ... That is exactly what I had in mind (I use my Razor Naga religiously).
-
You bring up some good tactical stuff. Speaking of tactics, one of the things I was reminded of was the size a player makes their toon. In City of Heroes, when it first came out, alot of Tankers made great big, brawy toons using the 'supersize' body type. Over time, it was discovered that groups of mobs could get at you…
-
I certainly hope the Devs add new gear for this in mind: +3 Girdle of Dwarf-Throwing +2 Gauntlets of Halfling-Wielding +1 Boots of Gnome-Punting
-
Just curious...but have the Devs mentioned "Racial Feats" at all? In 4e, the reason Dwarf Fighters are so good is not just due to the initial stats bonuses, but also what comes as their racial feats (i.e. Dwarf Stoneblood, Dwarven Weapon Training, Dwarven Recovery, Stonefoot Reprisal, etc.). The same goes for 4e Human…
-
Truth, when you say blocking options may have chances to fail based on reaction...you are referring to a player's reaction/reflexes (i.e. how quick/timely a player can hit the "shift" key to block an attack), or are you referring to something else?
-
Paladin, most definitely. Accept no substitute! (I prefer a Strength-based 'Avenging Paladin' wielding a two-handed sword).
-
I hear ya! Two-handed sword for me, please! On a side-note, I hope Scythe is in game for gillrmn. (Wielding a Halfling as a substitute for a two-handed weapon is gonna eventually throw his back out.)
-
Thanks for the welcome. My brother had a knack for painting miniatures (and still does). Back in the 80's, there were tons of mini's (back when Ral Partha made them out of metal...now many of the mini's are plastic...*grumble*) and he painted so many we had a veritable village of them. We used them with the tabletop RPGs…
-
Thanks for the welcome! I do feel better knowing I am not the only "Classic Gamer".
-
Thanks for the welcome and the info! I will keep that in mind. As for WOW, nah, I played on the Lothar server (my brother still plays WOW). I have been keeping tabs on the World of Darkness MMO (*fingers-crossed*). I have always had a fondest for the supernatural. In fact, I think I married into it. You should see my…
-
Just for discussion purposes...what type of Utility power would a Great Weapon Fighter have? Let's have a look see at the others first: Guardian Fighter - Block power Rogue - Roll/Dodge power Wizard - Teleport power Great Weapon Fighter - ??? Maybe .... Great Weapon Fighter - Weapon Parry (What? It could happen...) Any…
