Is the potential problem that multiple targets in front of the attacker confuse the targeting mechanic and instead of picking a valid target(s), the targeting mechanic fails to target any? Would a viable alternative be to "widen" the window of what the system considers valid targets (I apologize for the non-technical term…
Thank you for picking up the barbarian and trying to make sense of the pieces. Thank you also for your interaction here on the forums. I would remove the tank designation from the barbarian and make the class a dps/dps class. Blademaster should focus on damage, with burst damage that makes the path dependent on healing and…
In the Day of the Dungeon Master, the names on the character sheets are as follows, as far as I can tell: Bruenor = Vincent the Dawnbringer - Cleric Linu = Jeff - Scourge Warlock Minsc = Tiberius Greymantle - Paladin Drizzt = Tiberius Greymantle - Paladin Regis = Maximillian - Rogue
My original post was not that useful, so perhpas this analysis will generate feedback. The swarm looks to be a 1-3% damage increase over Tenser's when facing a single target. Here's the way I got to this: Tenser's power increase works on buffed power: 120,000 buffed power +12,000 for Tenser's power buff +1,536 power for…
Midway through 2017 I compiled a list that included some of the handles for a portion of the Neverwinter team for the Developer Appreciation Week. Here's what I had from that point in time and I'm not sure how many of this team still works on the game, whether their roles have changed, etc. I also do not know how to post…
Given the investment needed to get a companion to legendary (which is understandable), I also vote for time spent fixing multiple legendary companion stat bonuses, please. As others have stated, thank you to the management team for endorsing time spent in this manner and to the developers who take these issues to…
1. Mr. Sears, thank you for your contribution to an enjoyable Mod 12. Thank you also for posting this information. 2. Julia, as you deem necessary, please step in and ensure Mr. Sears has customer feedback and sentiment as he continues to make decisions regarding these changes. I would hate for Mr. Sears, a relatively new…
Thank you for this capability. Given that loadouts will potentially increase the frequency with which enchantments are changed (albeit manually), can we remove the cost to change enchantments and runestones, please. A cost-free exchange is already the case with Insignias on mounts. Thank you for your consideration.
Thanks, armadeonx. I switch on the guild Stronghold boon and my Arp jumps to 8,000. I do switch that back to the Power boon when running group content. To your point about having a viable group and solo build, I think I need to rework my build. My post was to see if others had a notion to use loadouts as a way to switch…
Welcome Julia. Thank you for a thorough introduction. I'm happy to have someone with your experience take on this role. I desperately hope the conditions around you allow you to be successful. I hope your stress relief mechanisms are in place (relocation, this job and a two year old kid...wow!). I hope that the successes…
I think this situation represents a loss of control. The devs and Cryptic may no longer have power to place any of their development plans ahead of financial profit. Perfect World has a new CEO who is an ex-Goldman Sachs investment banker and was previously part of the private equity company that financed the acquisition…
Clearly the sets are not the root of the problem. The root cause of the problem has already been pointed out in this thread and the other problematic powers have been documented in this thread as well. Furthermore, the removal of the set bonuses will not materially affect end game groups, as the fabricant has documented.…
I've been playing HB Fury since my original post and I must admit the game is fun in new ways. I think seeing Arms of Hadar smack down enemies in PVE may be my new "never gets old". I had to make a significant upgrade to my equipment to melt PVE enemies fast enough to get back to my pre-Mod 10 feeling of combat…
Thanks for confirming my suspicions, candinho2. There doesn't appear to be any other choice than to hunker down for the long wait until the game changes enough for SWs to regain the striker mantle. Off to the new meta I go, joining all the other ducks on the plate.
Am I seeing correctly that the damage as a SB in the first video was higher than the HB in the second? So if you desire to focus on DPS as a role, rather than buffing or debuffing, playing as a SB will align better to that desire?
I was hopeful that the Lightfoot Thief active bonus would be fixed, but I do not see that in the notes on companion fixes. I ran some content already and there does not appear to be a ninja fix either. RIP, Lightfoot Thief. If anyone sees anything different with their Lightfoot Thief, please post. The patch notes on…
I'm trying to prioritize companions giving this change. I looked at Fab's CW guide and decided to apply % damage modifier (from a siege master, for example) to the base damage calculation, but my math skills are simplistic at best. I assumed a critical hit with combat advantage. My interpretation of the results are that a…
My search-fu isn't real strong and I'm having trouble finding how the X% more damage companions (e.g. archons, siege master) affect damage calculations. Are they only applied to the Base Damage calculation or are they applied after all other calculations (such as combat advantage) are calculated? Does someone have those,…
Thank you for sharing your thoughts behind the proposed changes to Lostmauth's Vengeance. I apologize for the long post. I hope my response provides an alternative perspective on the proposed changes, however you'll need to run data analysis to determine factually if my perspective holds merit. My point of view is purely…
Thanks everyone for all the feedback in the thread. I didn't examine several factors that were raised here. I clearly need to do some additional ACT analysis. I need to look at the data on lifesteal. I need to see how often I'm getting hit since I didn't factor in opportunity cost in my original analysis. My original…
Let me make sure I understand this. Are you saying that if I have any Legendary (orange) companion, I get 15% of the stats the summoned companion, whether or not the summoned companion is the Legendary (orange) companion? Thank you.
Sorry for the necro on this thread, but my search-fu may not be good enough to find the answer elsewhere. Is this confirmed as working now? Specifically, if you slot a legendary ioun stone of allure in the first companion slot you get all the augment stats plus 15% of those stats due to the legendary level of the stone?
