I agree with brilliantcomrade here. I want to see what the trees look like first before I make my final decision. I am partial to the stealth tree though, as long as we get some damage to go with it.
Hey all, thanks for this thread. I transmuted my weapons in to the Manbane axes (for sale on the AH), and those look pretty cool. I did not notice how the Perfect Vorpal kinda "shines through" like it does on other weapons. But it is cool, as a TR Whisperknife, to throw axes at people instead of the same old boring…
You guys, with all the pressure you have to meet deadlines, and the incessant *****ing and moaning from those who want EVERYTHING; I gonna hand it to you. You do a pretty good job at making the game as fun as possible. We all know that, with software, there will be glitches, patches and the occasional crapouts. It happens…
I think a GWF or GF with a Holy Avenger Enchantment would be considered Paladin-esque...although not really in my eyes. I am really looking forward to a Monk, or Brawler-class that uses NO weapons but bare fists, kicks and grappling. I wonder how the devs would work those mechanics?? :)
Well said. When I started playing the paper, pencil and dice D&D over 30 years ago, artifacts were just that...ARTIFACTS (and I did not even see artifacts until I started playing Advanced D&D). If you found one; like the Mace of Cuthbert or the Sword of Kas, or Baba Yaga's Hut; man, you were the BOSS. Now, everyone has…
THat is a great question, and one I have asked many times before. Please, some clarification here...unless it already has been clarified in another thread; then please point us in the direction of that thread. My thanks!
Forget about banning us from PvP. That would nearly eliminate the TR from the game, period. We aren't called upon for PvE/Dungeon Delves because we are single target, and have little, if no CC. I have played many characters in this game, and the TR the longest because it has been the most fun. Those who want to kill…
I concur here. Either increase damage output of CoS for WK's, or please increase the salvo from 8 to 10 or 12 knives for CoS for WK's. And, I would request that WKs are given a ranged-replacement for Duellist's Flurry. Honestly, to make this a "ranged" TR, we would really only need Sly Flourish as a ground-pounding…
Depends on your gear, and how you play really. To keep in the Perma-stealth style of play, I focused on INT as my main character score (I have a 25 INT with the campfire buff, and a legendary Owlbear Belt of Intelligence), and that brings my base recharge speed increase to 15%. Add any recovery from gear and rings, and my…
If you look in the Thieves' Den, there are several builds for WKs; all of them viable for our playstyle. Try one of them and see how it works. Then, please provide some constructive feedback on what your thoughts were with the build, and how you may change it and make it suit your needs. In the near future, I will also…
IMHO, it depends on what you want to do with your TR. If you are looking for big damage numbers, STR and DEX are sure ways to go, for the damage and crit chance bonuses, respectively. One thing I read about the CHA belt is that additional CHA also increases COMBAT ADVANTAGE DAMAGE; for every point over 10 in CHA grants +1%…
Depends on what your play style is. I really enjoy the Whisperknife (WK) paragon. It has MOST of what I would be looking for from the Master Infiltrator (MI) paragon. I don't have to rely on getting too up-close and personal with mobs of the enemy team in PvP, and have a relatively higher survival rate. if I want, I can…
I agree with you Reiwulf. The TR is a fun class to play in PvP, but maybe not as much in PvE. I am hopeful the Devs will do the class right. Looking forward to it!
Kweassa, I use the WK build you showed us all on my current Level 60 WK TR, and it really hits hard. Cloud of Steel can decimate squishy characters for sure, and most CW's and TR's in my experience. Pandora1x's build seems really great as well; although I have never tried it, I will experiment with that build on the…
I believe this is why pandora1x was endorsing using Soulforged and the Bloodcrystal Raven Skull as your artifact. I don't have the Skull, but I do have Perfect Soulforged, and that has saved my bacon plenty of times.
HEAR, HEAR FOR IMPACT SHOT! Most TR's I run across still use Lashing Blade, which is cool for that close to one-shot kill. Tell you the truth, I would rather pop out of stealth and hit FOUR Impact Shots at a character. The stun alone is great! That Impact Shot barrage you start just before your stealth meter runs out…
I am not sure I completely agree with you. When contesting a node, remember, you, as a WK, DO NOT have to be on the node to contest it. You can throw knives all day and practically no one, even the MI TR, will find you if you are a perma-stealth WK (and if you keep the rotation tight and do not get too cocky or greedy with…
