On the point of where DEV heads are actually at for Mod 15/16, I'm far more inclined to listen to what Lead Developer Thomas Foss specifically said in a 50 minute Nova interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xixSfMTLvSU This is what the DEV leads will say, when they're not trying to explain themselves to a…

I'm not talking about a rework, and you don't have to rework a class to put CWs in a much better place. The "lack of specialization" is that CWs are 3rd rate DPS and 2nd rate buff/debuff. You remember Robert Gutschera's twitch where he talked about all the levers available to them for making adjustments within classes?…

Ok, if they weren't including the imminent release, the timing changes. There's a lot there that isn't about the timing. There's a whole question about how badly changes are needed across the board, and from me real pessimism about how much notice they've taken of CWs, and how much they might, in that future mix. Any…

Ok, I'll do a quick review: - We got nerfed to the ground 3 years ago - They've nothing to help the CW class in all that time - When they finally released "tough content" in mod 12, we were in the bottom of the barrel, unwanted, with TRs and SWs. - Now, we're at the very bottom of that barrel, all by ourselves. But now,…

How was that being helpful? I'm "bashing the class", and mebengalsfan is talking about how "things aren't so bad". Stop and think for a moment. CW has been in a bad place for a long, long time. Until recently TRs and SWs were down there with us, but now, we're in the ditch all by ourselves. How is any talk in this forum…
-
You're talking about how useful the CW is as a buffer and debuffer. You were responding to a post about BIS maximising of a class' damage potential, and how the CW fits that compared to others. So, you're talking about something else not actually relevant to the point being made. I'll bet you that the best GWFs are…

You got the most important part of your stat build wrong - your class. Just came from a random HE in the Well of Dragons, where a GWF wiped the Nelfeshne boss, topping at of 1.5 million damage/sec. His ACT debuff effectiveness was only 175%, yet laying down 1.5 m IBS, Prominence at 1/4 million per hit, etc etc. We're not…

This. You can play a great D&D MMO without having to play this one. Much more balanced, and much more friendly.

No, the paths are not just labels. Go to your feats page, and hover your mouse over the "labels". It will clearly tell you that Oppressor "Exploits Control powers to manipulate foes and arcane energy to increase survivability". Hover over the Thaumaturge "label" and it will clearly tell you that the Thaumaturge "is a…

It's a game, and fairly complex at that when it comes to maximising class potential. "Inept" means having or showing no skill", which is completely over the top in the context that you use it. The actual issue is that the class has become the most unwanted and irrelevant class to end-game content. You can stick to that,…
-
Sorry, but this is wrong - disrespectful to players struggling with their CWs. There's no way you can know what others are thinking about how much of a buff CWs need, and little reason to think that your opinion of what it should be is actually correct. A class generalisation of people being inept and blaming on their…

What I've been trying to explain. This is a thread of players dreaming about how things might be. DEVs are paying zero attention to any of it, are well aware of how unwanted CWs are, and have shown for 3 modules that they don't care at all - as they work to adjust other things in the updates. Not a single suggestion that…
-
Got +3 a few times - nothing but disappointment.
-
Yeah, but the post is all about grouping - what the group is looking for and party annoyance. Parties only care when they run new end-game content, and the picture there is pretty bleak. It was bleak enough when you hoped that a strong "meta" might be inclined to take on a TR, SW or CW. Now, CW is real rock-bottom by it's…
-
Your fundamental problem is that the CW does poor damage compared to the other DPS classes. It's also not a particularly good class for buffing support, but if they're going to take you, this is where you have something to offer. The MoF buffs might not seem like much, but in the Multiplicative Era,they add up (or rather…
-
lol, guys. The.Devs.Aren't.Interested.
-
Yeah, I always play an elvish mage, and like you, I kept the faith - for 3 years. There's blind, stupid faith, and there's faith that gets smacked around until eventually it wakes up and dies. So, lets go over facts, and see how faith stack up against them: - When the level cap got raised from 60 to 70, we got a bunch of…
-
Yeah, kudos to you cheesey. After 3 years I've given up on suggesting ideas thinking that the DEVs have any kind of intent showing CWs any kind of consideration. For 3 modules now they've seen CWs as the unwanted class in party formation, and no sign of wanting to address it in any way. My post is only for you to…
-
The class has been a design mess for many, many mods now. The class is far behind where the game has been for the last 3 mods (longer actually, but mod 12 made it obvious). You've made suggestions. They are reasonable. CWs have been making suggestions for over 3 years, and all of them have been ignored. The DEVs are well…
-
You really didn't need to explain to me what the various paths are meant to be. Actually, I'm just about the CW being something that parties want to take to end game content. CWs are simply not wanted. We're 3rd rate DPS and 2nd rate control. Most players want to play their CW as DPS. I know. I used to get asked a lot…
-
Got it, and into it! Lol, it's actually like D&D. Thanks :)
-
Reasonable sized player base? Easy enough to get a party for the equivalent of a dungeon run?
-
Wow, I'm almost all choked up for the poor GWF, except that the class has been the absolute go to choice for DPS, dwarfing all other DPS class choices by a large margin, since module 12. A very recent bump in the road with an SW exploit and TR's appearing to get away with a nerf-fix that the DEVs don't seem to have nailed…
-
I think that Cryptic missed an important trick when they didn't apply the rule in real D&D that all benefits (buff/debuff stat increase, whatever) have a type, and benefits of the same type don't stack. Every MMO needs a DPS class like the GWF - easy to play, doesn't die too easily, can get by smashing at-wills, gets…
