I pugged into nDemo last night and was the first time since mod 8 I had a fail. The first stage, someone(s) were opening every portal. Second stage, they seemed to think aiming Gorristro at the black portals was a 'good' idea'. The thrid stage would have made Monty Python proud, almost everyone seemed to be following the…
Great patch :) Lots of great fixes! My main is a GF the so what will personally affect me, just off the top of my head is the 10% buff to vengeance, fix to the Stronghold Cleric, more influence! Reave and Heavy Slash working on smaller enemies. Dread Warrior getting a size cap, I love being big, but sexy as me own HAMSTER…
I was upset to see the Zen event disappear on the calendar, but having been burned by previous events, poor communication, poor tooltips etc, I like to confirm when I plan to purchase during Zen events. I doubt anyone will get an actual $$$ refund but considering how long the event has been on the calendar it might be…
If you are talking about CTA, just solo it. It takes the same time, fot this CTA at least, no grief, no idiot pugs, no afkers, more medallions. There's no way you can kick an afker in CTA, they are over before the kick timer completes.
I like the changes personally. Not sure if it's going to fix the ZAX, the 100k Rad refine limit certainly seemed to do the opposite. Wish we had a reroll button instead of what we got a few mods ago which was keygate.
I use an Owlbear Cub on my OP, it helps not having to focus on Crit and it simplifies a build but the damage you deal with Crit more than makes up in aggro what you lose in buffs. If you wanted to max your buffs Owlbear might be a good idea, but your aggro will suffer for it.
The boss isn't an issue, she's relatively easy to aggro, though she's a bit like the 1st elol boss in that she does have a jump attack in her rotation she will use if someone does a significant hit from range. The AoE's she can cast are brutal, even if you are geared well, but unless you are using Icy Terrain they are easy…
Also, recently Linus needed have been reduced from 80 to 16(?) or somesuch, regardless, the cost to get your final 2 boons with Linus is significantly cheaper than it was. That might add weight to your decision, because personally, if I was aiming for every boon, I would grind ToD and buy SKT boons.
I don't think I'd be far wrong if I said new level 70 characters coming straight from EoE with EoE appropriate gear would struggle to complete eToS let alone FBI, also, who is gonna carry them? Am betting only bored BiS characters pug FBI, most who spend a lot of time gearing up towards end game have a significant number…
You can trade a lot of currency ;not the later modules for some reason; in for Guild Marks at SH Coffer, it's not a great conversion but it helps buy maps and maps can earn decent AD. I try to hoard currency, vouchers, infuence until 2xGM weekends then buy maps when events reduce GM costs, then on 2xProfessions I farm…
Sounds like Tiamat when it started, folks would complain and complain about it and they still complain and complain about trials now. I don't know if you get a queue ban for abandoning a trial or whether that abandon option is limited to once every 4 hours, but at the end of the day, a busted run is a busted run, some…
If you remove the under 70's from RND's you need to remove the AD reward for level 70 players, if you remove the AD reward, no level 70 will run them, conclusion, noone will choose/be able to run levelling dungeons. I quite like RQ Skirmishes but it still needs tweaking, the ugly band aid you have currently of removing…
AFAIK the Zulkir bonus just grants a couple k extra health, heard that if you kill an enemy with the draconic headpiece and run pseudodragon pet your health gets refilled to max. Am sure Cryptic thought it would be fun for players to work out the bonuses but players gave up once they found out what they did, maybe if…
I don't understand, why do we need a stick mentality when it comes to rebalancing a class? Sticks should be reserved for those that abuse the system or grief players/devs/mods. I also don't understand the mentality in those that think you need to take out the fun in a class to ensure a pecking order, is there really such a…
Couldn't agree more, the creep we get doesn't even make sense to me sometimes, like when the next BiS weapon damage is so significantly better than the last one, you are forced to change, or that BiS mount powers started off with 4k stats, I know you gotta build for the future but the increments just seem to be too much…
Weeklies are nice for AD and campaign currency, which you can turn in for Guild Marks, but running daily Dread Ring Lairs and making vouchers with the Dread Ring Campaign page seems to be the best way to make Guild Marks for me. The return from Campaign Currency is a bit naff, even if you are running weeklies on 10…
My main is a GF, for solo I'll run 1 set of companions, for group I'll runs a purely defensive set of companions. I'll also be changing mount powers, 4k power for solo, 4k defense for group.
Power creep has already made it as easy as pre-nerf CN, the better your gear/group, the easier it becomes. The problem is both FBI and mSP do not belong in RQ alongside current CN/eGWD/eToS.
It's a little more like comparing apples to oranges but I'd agree, MoF buffs/debuffs better, and although I know @thefabricant would disagree, but I also think focusing on MoF Renegade as your main build sees the greatest improvements in group runs, if you are willing to grind the AD needed on debuff companion/weapon…
I prefer to run SoS mostly but use Villain's Menace on content where being CC'd is very dangerous to my survival, this means Fighter's recovery isn't really an option for me. Now we have loadouts I use 3xTOD boon for LS alone, the other boons don't really bring a lot to the table for me in the last tier and I also use…
