@kingculex How was my delivery inflammatory? I complemented your previous contributions and by resorting to petty name-calling you had lowered your standards. In logic, ad-hominem (attacking the person - like name-calling) invalidates the argument as a logical fallacy. Would you have me believe that adopting such a…

I've added numbers to your post so that I can address each point without re-writing "war and peace". 1) At what gear score? Are you waiting for the group to engage or leaping / sprinting in first? I've tried a similar build post-patch (at least it has 10% life steal - for all I know the rest of your stats vary wildly) and…

GWFs don't have a taunt kidbs. As others have already stated, GWF tank stuff primarily by damage agro. I hear what you are saying about the tanking utility but, in reality, it just doesn't work at the moment. In order to be tanky enough, you sacrifice damage stats, which kills your threat. In order to do enough threat, you…

...and resorting to the same tactic of shouting down any opinion other than your own makes it harder for the devs to distinguish misinformation from genuine concern. I'm not saying you don't have a point but your delivery was inflammatory. There are better ways to say "I don't think you know the full story" than "you're a…

I understand getting people to try different things can be frustrating but such a post isn't constructive at all. Change is hard for most people. The fact that he put up his build for scrutiny is a positive start. When you stick to facts or well argued inference by observation, you put up some good posts. Please don't…

Steel Grace reduces the cc effect by 30%. Quite a few patches ago (good luck trying to find it) Unstoppable was changed so that activating it doesn't break as many cc as it used to (for example it used to break entangling force - now it doesn't). Regarding Armor Spec - it does exactly as advertised for me. Makes a…
-
Yes 5% doesn't seem like a lot until you think about how many times you use unstoppable in a fight. Also, this feat doesn't scale with how much determination you have so it means it's better to use it at 50% determination rather than 100%. I find it interesting that you both use the Fast Runner feat. I tried it and didn't…

I have hit 29k, with Con at 20, using rank 5s. 30k hp is definitely achievable on a budget. I suspect some of the points people are making aren't being understood, by you, because English isn't your first language. I'd like to try something else. Can you take some screenshots of your character, feat and powers page and…

The dungeon is hard or the final boss? Personally, I've found Mad Dragon to be a cakewalk since the Beta nerfs. Try this strat for epic version. You need a GF or Rogue to tank the dragon and a cleric to agro adds. Position the Cleric and whoever is killing adds behind the chest near the dungeon exit. The Cleric should not…

Well then I suggest getting your ears checked or paying closer attention to what's going on around you. Listen to abacuser's video. You can hear the Lurker's Assault go off before the Rogue appears in front of him. You can hear the Shadow Strike before it lands. People aren't saying you can hear the Rogue tip-toeing up to…
-
Close but a couple of other things happened as well: - he was at approximately 65% health when the first CoS daggers hit - he actually dodged the Shadow Strike so he didn't get dazed - as he summoned his bowling ball the Rogue pops lurkers (you can hear it as the ball lands) and the Rogue briefly appears in front of him so…

Is it PoB into Stealth, Impact Shot (breaks stealth) then ItC or is it PoB from Stealth, ItC into Impact? Does the CW see the Rogue coming? I can't imagine that being too effective as the PoB tells you where the Rogue is while in stealth. Wouldn't that be easy to kite with momentum changes? That said, if the CW gets caught…
-
I don't have to. The burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. You claim Rogues are broken. I do not. Believe it or not, I have no problem with further class balancing provided it is justified through proper testing and analysis of the issue. I take issue with your posts because you offer no justification or…
-
LOL... this guy. OK, so what have we established here: - you were better than the local mall or game fair population at Nintendo games; - you were in a good Quake team; - you were a good bard in EQ1; - you were in a good Rift guild; - it's likely (your words) that you were good at PvP in Rift. - you aren't very good at…
-
If a Rogue is killing you before you see them chances are you were already half-dead. If not, then you need to work on your situational awareness. Rogues are visible in stealth at close range. You can also hear Rogue abilities activate while they are nearby (Lurkers in particular). Your lack of awareness is not…

So is the shift-key (free of charge). I regularly get 10k+ crits with Chill Strike and I'm running a Lesser Holy Avenger. Guess they should nerf that too. How about Ice Knife or maybe the huge debuff from Ray in Mastery? Or how about they fact that I can sit on a pillar or bridge and do all of that with near impunity. :O I…

If the Rogue is ItC and using Impact Shot - blink, kite and LoS. They can't chase you while spamming Impact Shot and it's range is 40'. It's quite easy to blink dodge Impact Shot and then outrange it as a CW. Also, if the Rogue has used Impact Shot in stealth, they aren't going full immune with ItC so what is your point?…

I main a Cleric and have one of every class. I do this so I know the strengths and weaknesses of each class. Do you have anything to add to the actual topic of this discussion or are you going to continue desperately trying to draw attention away from the fact that the majority of people calling for TR nerfs don't know…
-
More rubbish, hyperbole and heresay. Normally there are 4 TR in a round... between both teams perhaps? Do you have any metrics to back this up? No. Didn't think so. And now you're getting 2+ v 1'd... Well, perhaps the issue is that you are getting focused by a group not that a class is OP? Greater Vorpal... Perhaps the…

^ An extremely biased, shortsighted opinion (story, fairytale, delusion?) with no basis in logic or fact. This is but one possible outcome where a bad CW panics at the thought of getting Lashed and blows all of their dodges at the wrong time. As of the latest patch, the Rogue cannot stealth and close with CoS (momentum…
-
This is incorrect. The length of the buff doesn't change in stealth or out of stealth. The effect does. From what I can tell, the buff lasts between 4 and 5 seconds (wtb detailed tooltips).
-
I plan on putting one point in Invigorated healing to get around the change. So... cast SB > activate Divinity > Invig procs while Divinity active = Linked Spirit. Voilla!! The question is whether all 5 targets getting Invig counts as 5 targets for the buff (25% stats) or 5 single targets (5% stats).
-
The issue isn't dodging an attack. The issue is that when the first knockback lands you die because there's no avoiding the rest of the combo (you're either in the air or prone). That said CW and GWF have similar combos although I'd say the GF's is the most effective.
-
Alternatively, give the new Slam no target cap and reduce the size of the aoe to something along the lines of Come and Get It. Now it's easier to avoid but still useful in PvP and better for PvE. Heck, swap the aoe radius of CaGI and Slam and make both skills useful (and offer some synergy).
-
Regarding A: Everyone has some AoE. I think the only change the GWF needs is that all AoEs hit all targets in their respective arcs. GWF should be an AoE striker in my opinion. As it stands there is too much hybridisation within the GF, GWF and CW Paragon feat trees. GF is a tank (not a dpser), CW is a controller / CCer…
-
@ fathomful You don't use the trick or you don't take Linked Spirit? In my opinion both are almost mandatory. I say almost because there is a chance that the devs will change the mechanic, or nerf it, so it's good not to base your entire play-style around it (like the screams of woe that still echo the Temple from those…
-
I never said you had to use all of the abilities I listed at once "just to stay alive". I just listed most of the tools I use throughout the course of an engagement to keep myself AND my team alive. As for the "exploit", I already have a solution if the devs decide to change that mechanic. I try to use every tool available…
-
Uh... what? You can't take life steal and regeneration, for survivability purposes, in sufficient quantity without gimping your main stats. You can take some regeneration, life steal and deflection so that you can give it to the rest of your party (and increase its effect on yourself) using Linked Spirit. No stat is wasted…
-
This is scary. I did the exact same thing, heal in a similar way, have the same gear-score and feel the same way. Well... they say everyone has a twin... I don't suppose your Cleric is named Bob too?
-
5-7k per tick? If so, how? If it's the total heal over the ten seconds, then I agree that isn't hard to achieve.
