This is the first post I've seen so far and not searched the rest of the forum yet but thought I'd let you know I'm having the same issue if that makes you feel any better :)
I fully agree with what you are saying and I did neglect to mention the usage of shard is highly situational. For example if I am running ToS and most mobs die anyway with 1 rotation I will use shard as the last part of my rotation.
Sorry for the tangent but I have a 17.2k CW and still use shard for AoE. Still great control encounter and decent dps if you know what you are doing. I have no issues out dps'ing 18-19k CWs. Just say'n :p
The loot from the Arcane chest did not appear in my inventory after looting the chest. This happened to me twice now and I lost out on the CW orb and a ring. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the bug but my bags were full when I tried to loot. I assumed it would just go to my overflow like all other chest loot…
Just an update for anyone looking to try either build. I spent about 3 months w/ Grimah's build and about a week with Stox's build. I had to switch back to Grimah's after a week. Stox's build just did not work well for me. I want to say in practice I did about 15% more damage on the first rotation but on any fight that…
I tend to run ahead too and pull/nuke. Not because I care about being pain giver but because I am just an impatient person. lol. I played some MMOs where you would have to let the tank pull 1 or 2 mobs at a time and if you pull any more it is a wipe. So far none of the content in NW is like that. That is part of the draw…
inthefade462 had a good point but kind of lost me when he started calling all CWs idiots. When you've run each dungeon enough times you know when singularity is pointless and when singularity is best. I don't think it's fair to say "just use sing on every pull". There are plenty of situations where it's best to use…
I loved my resto/feral druid and disc/holy priest in WoW. Healers were always in demand. After reaching 60 and finishing all of the dungeons I was disgusted with my DC because as a healing class, let's be honest, DCs are horrid main healers. I decided to roll a CW and have loved everything about CWs. I am primarily on my…
I actually ran CN several times this weekend with at least 2 or 3 CWs (including myself). Depending on the pull 1 would use AS and the other OF. We blew through the entire dungeon quickly. As a matter of fact on Draco I had 1 team where we did not use AS at all. Each CW just took turns using OF. No issues. But I guess…
Thanks for the comments. @uurbs I do understand that Stox's build is aimed at "front loading damage". I have been running Grimah's build now for several months and was just curious about Stox's build. I am aware of what they were designed for in "theory" and I have spent much time w/ both builds on the test shard.…
Sorry to the OP for going slightly off topic here but I am not sure why everyone seems so concerned about gearing for control. It seems like these days when you have 15k+ party is that you just sing all mobs on top of each other and aoe them. Usually 1 or 2 sings will clear whatever trash there is. This has held true for…
I never understood why party leader cant invite someone to the group after already starting a dungeon. There have been a few other MMOs like this. Yes there was a small % of abuse but nothing as bad as the system put in place here. I cleared up to Hrimnir in FH with a group. We lost our DC to a disconnect right before we…
I've done at least 30 VT runs and only seen Shard of Valindra's crown drop once. edit: I forgot to mention that I've only seen CW armor drop once too and still 0 artifacts from DD chest.
Yeah Youtube. Just search for the dungeon name and there are typically many walkthrough videos. This was especially helpful to show some good spots to "bump" mobs off cliffs.
