.....If only there was actually a viable way to test this, like I don't know a Duel system instead of what, just trying to convince random people in a pvp arena to remove their gear until they have like only 9% armor pen to see if 19 CON counteracts their armor pen fully.....yea, that sounds fun.
-
Hmm, I will admit that - is sort of "vague" and annoying. Though it could be taken as in "You apply -9% resistance when you attack". I frankly wish some developer could just confirm what its supposed to do. And I would be kind of angry if it does work as Armor Penetration Defense because to me there is absolutely zero…
-
First....I would like to state that IF (which I absolutely believe is not the case) CON reduces armor pen effects being used on you....then Cryptic must clearly be the worst company at using the English language in history. As there is absolutely no way, at all, that one should understand the phrase "Resistance Ignored",…
-
It all comes down to personal preference. Yes point for point, STR will give you the most damage. (As one would expect) DEX is second in terms of damage, if you want to crit, put points in it. CON while some people will try to tell you its useless for damage actually contributes to a small degree to dps as a GWF, but…

Just curious here, was that actually tested and confirmed, the 24% damage reduction on rank 3 astral shield, because that seems wrong to me. I just did a simple test by letting a mob smack me a good 10 times without it up, and it averaged about 650 damage per hit, and with the shield up it was only averaging 380 or so.…
-
Nope, that is pretty much how it works. Basically the only way to "loot" the green quality assets ("resources" can just be looted randomly from profession nodes and/or leadership profession chest rewards), is via the Zen store in some form. IE the packs can be gotten from lockboxes when opened, or just plain bought from…
-
Yea you guys caught me in the middle of testing that skill and editing to update the testing, I really never looked at reaping in the damage log to notice it split the damage, and had just went to test that. But in the end I digress, I just don't feel that feat is worth the points, and I still feel the tree works perfectly…
-
I was solely referring to the talent that adds 25% damage to Reaping Strike when you hit one target. Executioner's Style. See 12k is not bad, but still, that skill only added 3k or so, and only to single target, which is personally something I don't ever want to be doing as a GWF, single target. In the end it is that which…
-
Yea I should have worded that better, but I meant it would proc on every hit of 1 WMS strike, if it was hitting 10 enemies, not 10 different activations of WMS. In short, badly worded but it would proc 10 times....persay. And I can confirm it does proc on slam, without a doubt, tested it before I made that comment, slam,…
-
Personally I think the feat that buffs Reaping Strike is utter trash at the moment as well, as to be blunt GWF single target is trash anyway, which is the only time it helps the GWF. Which by comparison, hitting for an additional 25% on a what...maybe 2k strike (non crit) with a nearly 3 second charge time? So, an…
-
It honestly still sounds like you do not understand how it works, at least from your comment of, "If you want damage none of our abilities crit high enough for the buff to pay dividends." This still sounds to me like you think the damage of CaGI is based off the attack you use to proc the damage, which it is not, in any…
-
Just a note here, but I think your misunderstanding how CaGI works as well, its not a percent buff, its Flat damage, to ANY attack, IE adding that small flat damage to your most powerful encounter, probably sucks, but adding that small damage to 10 hits with say Weapon Master Strike, on a pack of 10 mobs....works.
-
In defense of the guy above you, he did not state what level he is, but the fact is he is correct in it being a Static damage, it is FLAT damage, so it does not matter if you proc CaGI with WMS or if you use Flourish, or IBS it will always do roughly the same amount of damage. But I just even went and confirmed in game…
-
I have to assume this to be a troll/major sarcasm thread, but just in case its not..... Simply put, versus any race with a STR bonus at creation, IE Half Orc, Human, Dwarf, who would be able to start with a STR roll of 20 at level one, you are giving up 10% damage on both encounters as well as At-Wills and Dailies, for 7%…
-
Hmm, steps to solo any "story" mission boss. Step One, Slot Shadow Strike and Bait and Switch encounters even rank one in them is sufficient, also Lurker's Assault Daily this should be maxed of course as its the best rogue daily, period, and Duelists Flurry At-Will. Step Two: Attack boss, stealth. Step Three: Use Lurkers…
-
*sigh* watched that video and all I could think is that those pulls are a GWF's wetdream......then I realized no one actually takes GWF in those dungeons anyway, and then I was sad. But on a serious note, yes as everyone else said, its not smokebomb that is trivializing that dungeon it is most certainly double stacking…
-
To be more accurate, unless I am sorely mistaken, you can not replace someone once you kill any of the bosses. At least I am fairly sure that is how it works, as I know you can replace people for sure under certain circumstances. (IE I know I have had several people leave/disconnect at the start of a dungeon and they were…
-
1. A Boon is just a temporary buff, I believe they last 15 minutes so you should see it on your buffs under your character portrait. 2. Potions, and elixirs etc, they most definitely go into your inventory, though you perhaps might not see it as it will auto stack into another pile of potions etc if you already have one.
-
You are most certainly incorrect on the Shocking Execution ability, yes it hurts, a lot, but I myself have a 60 rogue and I can confirm it will NEVER do half a bosses health, the largest I have seen is a 80k crit on a boss who was at like 1% health, so at 50 percent you would be likely be lucky to see even a 50k crits,…
-
If that is the case.....the wording in game totally sucks, because saying "resistance ignored" does not sound like what your describing, as that would be...."Penetration Ignored", while the current wording most certainly does suggest it increases armor pen. So I really have to assume as well that it is meant that way. Plus…
-
Not to be picky, but that is generally hard to do before level 16 when you get your first free companion.... (Yes technically one can have a companion at level 4 if they buy one, but not many people have 2g even before level 16.) But on a more serious note, that is just sort of how the game works for soloing, if you don't…

Orbakh, though assuming the name Manshoon, (Whom he is a clone of).
