It's about to the point where I never, ever queue for a Epic dungeon any more. For two main reasons - 1) 3 out of ever 5 queue put me into a partially completed dungeon. I'm there to run the whole thing, not just the end boss. 2) Takes about a quarter of the time to put together / join a party for making that Epic run…

Here's another - Gear score means very little but gear does. Running a T2 in mostly blues does not help you or your party succeed. This is in response to having a PuG join up in a ToS run while geared up in mostly blues, 2 purple, and 1 green item. "But my gear score is 9.6K" was has reply when we asked him to leave.
-
Which brings up the point of how these people you hacked down was geared compared to you?
-
Over all, the classes seem to be pretty well balanced for people that know how to play them. The main issue is that most people DO NOT know how to play their classes in a dungeon/party setting. *BLEEP!* started giving examples but got to frustrated. I do a fair amount of PuG runs and when you need to tell people what…
-
The issue about premades is that there's very few of them that are good. Most of them are a bunch of friends/guildies grouping together to get their dailies done and have fun. What I find really irrating is going in, have a big fight in the center, the side that losses it then has 1 to 3 people quit. Those people just have…

I'm running the new paragon path on my cleric and have a couple commits to make - Took me at least one hard dungeon run to get the hang of the new powers and features. Running a T1 with people geared up in T2 stuff does not count as practice. I have played around on both the preview and normal servers. I still am not…
-
Some other tips - Hang as far back from the cap points as possible while your team mates cap/defend the point. Getting the opposition to fight off the caps usually gives your team the advantage to winning. Keep moving. Standing still in a single spot for long usually = quick trip to GY. Cast, move, cast. Slide/dodge when…

I take it you have not really PvP with this power. This power, and Exaltation, is all about timing. I have seen GWF, GF, heck everyone, blow their encounters and dailies vs the people with these buffs on them and take little to no damage. So while they don't last long, they can be very powerful. PvE is a little more tricky…
-
I've always wanted to try the Kelemvorite Priest with my GWF. Can't remember exactly what it does (servers are down/can't access the zen store) but do remember one of the way it heals is by buff you with lifesteal. Just something I'd like to try and have no idea how it would actually work.
-
The real issue, is that other classes can usually do the GF or GWF jobs and bring something else to the table. Couple examples - Rogues tanking Bosses - while able to do stealth runs/high single target DPS DC & CW kiting adds - while healing/ AoE DPS and control.
-
Bug: Feat: Armor Specialization Feat is supposed to increase Armor Class and Defense by 5/10/15%. This bonus is not showing up on the character sheet and has no effect when combo with the Feat: Steely Defense (adds 4/8/12/16/20% of your defense to your power). Checked in the Swordmaster Paragon path, have not checked in…
-
About the exaggerating, I'm not so sure on that. I play a GWF as a alt to my DC and the little I've played on the test server has got me to wondering - As things stand now, a GWF seems to be able to do the same job, and maybe do it better, then a GF. With the changes made to GWF, they are a lot more tanky then they used to…
-
Feedback: Power: Daily: Seismic Shock Power Description: Fire a concussive blast into the ground, causing a shockwave that pulls targets in and damages them Description needs to be changed to something along the lines of - Fire a concussive blast into the ground, causing a shockwave shooting out from the Ranger Hunter that…
-
Bug: Power: Split Shot Can not change target's or cancel (stop) the shot once you start aiming. Not sure if this is a bug or a 'feature'.
-
Feedback: Powers: Aspect of the Falcon Hunter Rangers already have 80 range (I know of no other power that goes past the 80 range) on their range attacks. With this slotted and 3 points in it, the Hunter Ranger will have a range of 93 if I'm reading the power right. This can upset game balance, both in PvE and PvP. Couple…
-
They aren't useless. The problem is that there are other classes that can do the same job while bring other stuff to the group. The real problem is two fold - 1) Game mechanics for bosses. This has been sort of addressed in MC. 2) Any buffing to bring the GF or GWF up in PvE could seriously upset the class balance in PvP.…
-
I usually try to just use the blue circle, couple of reasons why - A blue circle usually means everyone will group up inside it. Have noticed that on a yellow circle people stay spread out. They either don't know what the yellow circle means or they go by 'I'm not being hit so don't need it'. So having everyone grouped up…
-
One thing I'm noticed is that the GWF seems to get more of better gear then the other classes. T1 gear = :( T2 gear = : | Best gear = having a chance to be at or near the top in damage done.
-
What was the GS of those GWF? Asking as I've also tanked him on my GWF. Once with a GS of 10.8 - failed and another time with a 11.9 gs - success but took a ton of healing potions.
-
A lot also depends on the party and how they use their powers. A GWF is more dependit on having to keep the mobs in melee range. So any mobs that like to run/port away or CW/DC that like to toss them around hurts the GWF tank. Plus low gear scored, under 12k, GWF will have a hard problem keeping threat vs the TR and CW.
-
Here's the way I like doing it - Hug the left wall to safe spot. Pull one maw, get him under control. Pull the nearest berserker spawn, DPS it dead. Everyone back on Maw and get it down to about 10%, pull boss. Finish off Maw, work on boss and adds. Pulling and killing the berserker is not necessary but can make it easier…
-
Off Topic - The problem here is that about 70%+ of the Neverwinter population uses those scoreboards to decide what classes they want to PuG with. Another issue with all the 'secondary' effects of GWF powers (slow/stun/knowdown/etc) they don't work on PvE bosses. So having a class balanced around these powers that don't…
-
Only problem with this is it still needs to be fair to those that suffer a DC. As the game is now, it seems that 25% of those that do suffer a DC will get the boot as the systems thinks they are no longer part of the party.
-
You do not need to remove a enchantment when you want to put in a new one. In fact, its a waste of AD to remove a enchantment when it's cheaper to buy that enchantment on the AH. The game mechanics allow you to equip/slot over a old enchantment on a piece of gear/weapon, destroying the old enchantment.
-
Thanks for the check. Figured it was on my end as I would have expected to see post on it already if it was bugged. Nope, on the head injury. Checked on that first when I thought it was recharging slow. Going to blame my slow recharge time on lag and human error.
-
I think, could be wrong, that it was coded this way because during open beta there was a lot of complaints from people joining up from the queue system and getting the boot from the 4/5 premade because that party didn't like the class/GS.
-
For the GWF, I think you'd have better luck looking at the barbarian class in the 4e books.
-
Just two buffs I'd like to see for GWF - 1) Raise the damage cap up to 10 with no soft cap. This will only have effect in dungeons where you face lots and lots of adds. Does two things (A) helps DPS those adds down & (B) helps the GWF off tank by getting and holding agro on multiple mods. 2) A minor tweak to AP gain. When…
-
Another question - How will the teams coordinate for queueing up for the PvP match?
-
Here's another question about PvP - Has anyone tried Come & Get It vs stealthed rogues? After a match where I ended up facing 2 rogues that liked attacking from stealth I started looking at the GWF powers trying to figure out a way to pop them out of stealth. Looked at Come & Get It and was wondering if using that might…
