Increase AoE cap on our abilities. Make avalanche of steel faster to land so we can actually CC using our ability to gain AP. There shouldn't be a cap on CaGI, dunno if there is currently and if they get to a certain range of the GWF they should be stunned for a short time. I think making Avalanche faster would help out…
-
I'm happy with the patch, destroyer here. Happy with both pvp and pve! Having takedown up every 7.6 seconds is disgusting and with unstoppable I can spike someone for 14k damage without IBS. Pve wise I just do the same ole thing, except I gain ap waay faster with faster roar + battle fury cooldowns. Sure strike came in…
-
Drakesword is amazing, go get it. Pvp weapon pales in comparison.
-
Save disciple of war for when you have actual recovery. Disciple is an amazing feat that gives you the stat you need for 5 feat points. I'd stay away from staying power even though it's good; destroyer tree has a lot more to offer unless you can't really handle RS. I'd also recommend learning how to sprint cancel WMS…
-
vigilant helm + chest AoW feet + gloves That setup gives the most recovery I believe and recovery/arp is better than crit especially with ancient castle set.
-
You do charge it with faster speed. You might want to wait a split second after you fully charge just to ensure you get max damage though. Also wow, those sprint cancel numbers are bigger than I expected.
-
RS is pretty situational but it does encounter damage and when it's good, it's really good.
-
You can do CN with whatever as long as you have a good CW and DC. I've done a lot of T2s and completed CN, the only class I've lost in damage to are rogues. I've also played with very good CWs and I've outdamaged them as well. But in order to do that like chruch said, I have to sprint cancel everything and be extremely…
-
Tapping the sprint button is more efficient. Also I found that doing it as lightly as possible lets the stamina regen just a little bit so you can do it for a while. Can you test if sprint cancelling WMS gives more damage than SS?
-
That's weird, I've never been outdamaged by a CW in CN even after dracolich.
-
What? RS has a huge afterswing delay where you can't do anything unless you cancel it with an encounter/dash. WMS gets faster with cancelling especially with repeated swings. RS afterswing is the biggest thing and you can dash cancel that.
-
So you're telling me you sit through the recovery time of both reaping and WMS. If you're spamming WMS you get a lot more swings out by cancelling after the first hit and you can dash cancel right after RS hits to go into another attack. I don't understand how you think it's not beneficial at all assuming you do it…
-
Replacing dash would be dumb. Dash cancelling is where a lot of the damage comes from and it keeps GWF efficient since you can cancel almost every animation. I'm pretty happy with the changes for destroyer on paper since I use Roar and Battlefury a lot for AP generation + slamspamming and reaping did a lot of damage…
-
Do you have the pvp gear? It's a good stepping stone for dungeons especially because it has ArP in it.
-
I've cleared CN with a destroyer RS build. Kept up in damage pre-dracolich against a CW with CN weapon and a geared GF with CN weapon with drake sword. ArP capped thanks to ioun + disciple of war with room for tenebrous enchants. My feats are also slightly different but I feel they mesh perfectly with my gear. During…
-
If you're planning on using battlefury at all I HIGHLY recommend the relentless battlefury feat. I have about a 15 second cooldown on my battle fury thanks to my recovery + RBF feat.
-
Blue arp gear in all slots for pvp, they hit the cap with that and put tenebrous in. Read trickshaw's thread for the details.
-
This would actually be amazing. 3x Destroyer + Steel Blitz + double bleeds + SoTS + Rogue armor debuff + duelist flurry Pop determination before turning rogue for even FASTER ATTACKS AND MORE DAMAGE
-
I hope GWF doesn't get sweeping buffs or reward idiots that can't play properly with free damage. I also hope that we'll get a free respec. That'd be nice.
-
I am a destroyer and I absolutely love RS. I have very good AoE damage already and having reaping really speeds up killing lone/two elite mobs since I can just rotate WMS + RS together. I crit for 13828 with my IBS (drake sword, no fireplace buff/companion) but I crit for 14184 with RS. Combined with team debuffs I've seen…
-
I don't really like it. I just opted to put those points elsewhere in the destroyer tree.
-
With Disciple of war I can hit 2200 with all dark 6s, no companion. Since I do have a companion however I don't have to dedicate rank 6s or all of my slots.
-
According to testing, ArP comes first and then the defense reduction happens. I have max ArP and I hit noticeably harder on mobs before I had ArP.
-
Well the set items have pretty good stats, what's wrong with them? I guess I'm somewhat bias since I can just get disciple of war and get like 500 arp for free. I think the only things lacking are the lame set bonuses but double dipping set bonuses is amazing anyway.
-
Don't forget battle fury allowing you to sprint cancel more often, that's the primary reason why I run it.
-
Go destroyer reaping strike feat with focused destroyer. You shouldn't be so focused on dealing single target damage as much as keeping student of the sword stacks up for your rogue though.
-
I admit I have not parsed it- my opinion comes from hitting mobs/bosses and watching the bleed dot damage carefully and I was not impressed at all. It may have been bugged temporarily for me but after the bleed finished ticking I crit with WMS again with no actual bleed damage. The bleed ticked for a grand total of 716…
-
Grab the sharpened ice axe. Same damage range, better dps stats.
-
If they ever remove animation cancelling without actually buffing GWF damage GWF will no longer be viable in pve. Even then people will probably complain that they die too often since you can't sprint away after being locked into a lengthy animation.
-
It's certainly worthless compared to greatweapon focus though even with instigator cap, and there's no way you're ditching SoTS. Especially with a low crit rating like his, deep gash won't be proccing that often so greatweapon focus is a superior choice either way.
