To the OP. No. Just No. I'm not going to comment on specifics but you're right, you aren't playing a tank and you're suggestions would make it so that I couldn't play a tank either. No.

Is this set up actually viable for a new 70? Looking at your gear, I'm thinking you could make just about any build work. That might not be as easy for someone with a 2k score vs your 4k+. Not meant to be insulting, just pointing out the possibility of my new 70 not being quite on par with your own character;)

The problem is that by building Leadership and taking the time to do so I invested in something that no longer exists. Fine as is, but the least they could do is allow us to change Leadership into something else. As it stands they just took a rather large timesink away and gave nothing in return.

Go play STO, another Cryptic game that gives out buffs for campaign completions. They nerfed the living hell out of those buffs. You know why? Because new players cried so loudly that they couldn't compete with the older players who spent months completing those campaigns. Spend years getting your main and your alts built…

Got my templock to 60 and ran a few things here and there. New quests are a breeze and healing in groups really makes you feel like you're doing more than just the typical button mashing dps. This class is just too freaking fun! My advice? Play now while you still can, something this good is bound to get nerfed into…

Just give me my Paladin and no one gets hurt. Now.
-
You want to help me? Go to it. They aren't "my" mobs. If they were, they wouldn't drop "your" quest items when you kill them now would they? Seriously, kill away. I'm not here to prove anything, have at it.
-
See this right here? Yeah this thread. Now THIS is a guide! Wish I had something comparable in the HR section. Thanks for the guide man, good stuff.
-
Customizable companions? You mean I can have an all Orion slave girl crew here too? Sweeeeeeeet! But yeah, some customization for companions would be appreciated. Even more though, some AI that didn't have the cleric rush into melee with every boss in town, or actively seek out all the red circles in the dungeon would be…

I think they should take and do exactly what they did in STO with Omega reputation. Do a delve, get marks, spend marks to increase rep. Each rep increase is a task that takes X amount of time so even if you have enough marks to hit max level it'll still take you a certain amount of time(about a month or so) to do so. Each…

Do NOT put the rogue on Bart, the quicker his health drops the more rapidly he summons adds, so rapidly in fact that you'll be overwhelmed. My TR is on adds we live, my TR is on Bart the screen is quickly filled with swarms of adds. GF on Bart, GWF on adds is probably ideal with a TR and CW for the rest of the adds.

Imagination is the key but its all getting ruined by money. Now that's something we can both agree on. The problem is the last several generations have been programmed to avoid being imaginative. Remember those green army men? Remember the amazing things they did, and the incredible places they could go? Sky was the limit…
-
Just a couple things here, 1st, its 4e, not 1st. Give 3.x a try, you'll say much the same thing. Old school dnd stopped with 2nd edition, 3rd edition changed a lot, 4th changed even more. This game is based on 4e so..... And heres the big one though, "many with lots of money to HAMSTER away on silly things like video…

You guys really need to look over your GF. Are these guys you're running with tank/aggro spec'd or are they just dps'rs too lazy to change? And what is the GWF doing while you're getting hit by trash all this time? Healers no longer live in a vacuum, if you try to stay there you won't make it.
-
Pvp'rs crying like, whats the word I'm looking for here? Yeah. Carebears. Oh the irony. Plenty of game balance pve side so I can't really believe its as bad as some of you are making out to be, sounds like major over exaggeration. Give it awhile, learn to adapt to your new roles. It'll be fine.
-
Not saying I agree with this nerf, but, after testing out my GF in a full on tank spec on the preview server, not the dps one most use on live, I think what they're trying to do is make the GF more needed. I take a lot more damage now that the feats actually work and have a feat to take even more damage for 7 seconds…
-
This guy right here? He speaks nothing but pure truth. Honestly, if you don't want them to be pugged just remove them from the que. Some of these regulars are bad enough, but the epics can be as bad as the heroics from WoW's Burning Crusade xpac. You had to get raid gear before you could run some of that stuff before they…
-
A lot of the exploiting initially comes from frustrated players put into overtuned dungeons just wanting to get the thing finished. Some of it comes from being fed up with badly designed bosses, dragons come to mind here. Personally I don't exploit, that's also why I've never seen the end of Castle Never. I get to those 3…

You gain 3% mit and around 1.something regen, 1+% deflection too I think it was using Regent over Stalwart. The big loss of course is in the set bonus Power. That said, with the extra threat we now have I'm not so sure that will matter much. I came across a cleric on the test server. She was fighting several mobs and they…
-
TRs will hate you for Frontline, they want to Flurry, not reposition. That said, Iron Warrior fully spec'd gives you 7 seconds more guard meter and temporary health depending on how low yours is, all on a 15 second CD which means lots of uptime. Just a thought since I'm guessing you're still in test mode like the rest of…
-
Have you tried dodging while holding up block on your GF? My TR dodges just fine, my tank doesn't have that tool, and now with the aggro changes he has even more guys pounding on him. Love the game, but the changes incoming make me question the playability.
-
What you just described there is something I've said the GF class has a problem with all along, but with aggro being such a huge issue no one seemed to want to even think about it. GFs will now get aggro, lots of aggro from lots of mobs. How are we supposed to hold up block while getting hit from all sides and even see the…
-
I hope your theorycrafting works, this is the build I've been wanting to use since I started, a tank build rather than a dps one. With the new threat boost we'll be needing more mitigation anyway. I'll definitely give this build a run once the changes hit. Now if they make it so my mark doesn't drop off when I get hit I…

Of course the market is getting flooded with gear, no one is gonna buy stuff that's insanely overpriced. The price of ADs are going up due to lack. 1 million AD is around 30/35 bucks in zen. Sorry, but 6million zen for a Castle Never main hand is just too much cash to toss at a game. Gearwise what they really need to do is…
-
You and I think alike. I play games for fun and amusement, I leave challenges to real life. Personally, I'm hoping they tune it down a bit in the dungeons, the whole "do nothing but fight trash" isn't going to be as big a crowd draw as could be hoped for.
-
The real reason rogues can tank is simple. Movement. Not only do they get to dodge, but one of their main feats increases their movement for avoiding those red circles. GF's? They get block which won't keep them alive in red circles for hardly any time at all. Even worse, some of the animations are so slow that if you…
-
I have a lvl 60 GF. Believe me I want to see changes as well. However, I'm smart enough to remember the word BETA that was plainly visible on this game when I started playing. The same word that hasn't been removed yet. I'm sure Cryptic is grateful for your testing and the metrics they've gathered because of you, but until…
-
OP, the big problem here is that this game is based on 4th edition, which is lightly based on 3rd edition. Gygax himself said that 3rd edition wasn't really DnD anymore. 4th ed not only plays like a WoW clone, but to an original player like me, it seems like they tried to turn everyone into a magic user. Everyone has…
-
Doable? Of course it is. The question you should ask is, is it puggable? The answer? Not only no, but HELL NO! I'm sorry, but when content isn't puggable its forgotten and left behind. Even good groups that can do it will only do it a minimum amount of times before someone gets fed up going into the cesspit and suddenly…

With the insanely high prices on the AH everyone has bought up what little AD there is/was. You can only refine X amount per day. All the diamonds are mined out and the AH sellers keep trying to jack up prices when theres nothing left.
