Grind out a set of GG gear, it has the second best set bonus for CW next to HV, is incredibly easy to get, and the best part is that it is the only t2 CW set with ArP on it. It's best to eventually get a High Vizier, Shadow Weaver, and GG set but GG is the easiest to start with.
Alright I was just wondering, I tried out something similar and made a "dot" spec for pvp, which was RoE on tab, fanning, entangling, conduit as thauma. Since this is apparently such a crit friendly build I took your advice and tried rene as well. It seemed to do respectable damage but then of course I logged onto live and…
Astronax could you give us an idea of what encounter rotation you found synergized best with the fire paragon. I have been thaum for so long but would be nice to go back to rene.
I really think DCs are getting the best new paragon path. The new at-will when feated also provides a power buff, which is awesome. I was testing this out with my brother who has a GF and basically told him to pull as much as he could in the new zone and had no problem healing him. I will probably switch after this goes…
You do not lose SotEA, the encounter for Spellstorm is Sudden Storm, that gets replaced by a fire dot like ability. It seems as if the new paragon is a crit focused DoT spec, yet the daily cannot crit (from my experience at least on preview) and the smolder dot does absolutely terrible damage. The only way I could see this…
A lot of people say that leveling clerics can take a while or be slow but imo once you get daunting light it's easy mode. Clerics really do have a crazy amount of aoe damage. Combine that with, well, healing and it's extremely easy/fast to level. I love my cleric and while healing people who stand in stupid can be very…
As a DC I thoroughly enjoy having a tank in the group, whether it is a GF or sentinel GWF (yes I just said sentinel). But seriously there are a couple GWFs in my guild that are friggin amazing tanks and do crazy damage. I love them. People really need to start appreciating our rough and tough melee buddies more in this…
With the patch today letting recovery reduce cds on encounters with charges, Healing Word is pretty nice. I would say anyone who flatly states "Healing Word is bad" has never used it correctly. Sure in the ideal group Astral Shield and Astral Seal should be more than enough healing and all clerics could slot dps skills…
This made me laugh pretty hard. I think rangers are going to have a pretty high skill cap, will be interesting to see what some people can get out of them. Also, our current paragon path for clerics is basically damage focused. Terrifying Insight is damage feature, the daily with that paragon path is a single target nuke,…
Losing Foresight is by far the most significant change, imo. It will definitely be interesting to see how this new paragon does in instances. I mean to be honest, "healing" really isn't the most important thing a cleric can do. Buffing our allies defenses is the best thing we have. Unfortunately a huge part of this is…
I just can't believe this thread is still going, I never looked at it again after I made it O.o I literally never mentioned LB or even stealth. Stealth is a core mechanic for the class, something I greatly appreciate about Neverwinter. In a genre where many developers are worried about balance, class identity is often…
As with all encounters it has situations in which it shines and those in which it is not the best. I generally run Astral Shield (like every cleric in the world), Sun Burst (really awesome AP gen, just a solid ability overall). My last encounter is totally based on the fight at hand. ToS last boss? Forgemaster's Flame is…
Wow really awesome replies! Thanks so much for taking the time to do so. I think I have a much better feel for what the GWF is capable of and will pass along this info to my guild. I want people to play whatever class and spec they find fun and making groups work together with diverse builds and making it work. Helps a lot…
I understand your point in saying that "yellow AS is okay sometimes" in that it can help conserve divinity. However I generally run with Sun Burst, Healing Word, and AS and I never ever have issues laying down a divinity AS, or divinity running low period. I guess what I'm trying to say is that AS is so awesome... why not…
I understand what you guys are saying in that GWF can fulfill a variety of roles, which makes sense. As of right now the other classes have very well defined roles whether that be single target damage, crazy amounts of CC/aoe, tanking, healing, while GWF have the capacity to perform most of those roles (except healing duh…
I think for Control Wizard I would love to see a "Conjuror" path and maybe an "Elementalist" path. The prior concentrating on summoning elemental beings and the latter being much more focused on direct damage than CC. I think that a necromancer tree would be much more in the realm of a Warlock (which I would absolutely…
Just something to think about is that repel gets augmented by arcane mastery stacks. I believe that the more stacks you have the farther the knockback is. I am fairly certain this is the case but I can't check right now. Also in pvp there are a ton of different class abilities/enchants that could contribute to different…
