Well Pro didn't mean it in mean spirit as I am not sure he has a mean bone in his body. I believe he was just initially surprised that a "tank" which supplies him with ITF and a mark and maybe KV could do a ton of damage. I certainly didn't take it from him that he was being super critical of the GF. However, he is British…
Thanks a bunch.. this is great feedback. I run with Prokiller a bunch and would never try to get to his level of damage, that said, I want to get close enough to make him comment and think (he is a friend and guildie). I named my character "Broken" because he says that DPS GF's are just that.. broken.
Here is a DPS related question that I hope someone might be able to shed some light on. Recently I built an Oppressor GF with that uses Crushing pin and Staying power. I have Brutal's in all offensive spots, Rebel mercenary with R12's, siege master, war boar, air archon and Erinyes. My crit chance in combat is 98.7, my…
I will add what I have found not to work (for me at least). I do not care for the SE/Perma stealth builds so I chose to go MI Exe with some tankiness from Scoundrel. I wanted to brawl face to face so I stacked armpen such that I now have 157.3% RI. I boost my power using Whirlwind of Blades (should work wonders on node 2…
I run Forgehammer of Gond as my main with both "versions" of artificers persuasion. I stacked recovery on my pet so when I hit my artifact, I get 5 sec of 50% damage reduction (a little over 1/3 of my art cool down) as well as my recovery goes to over 200% and my Action Point Gain is around 170%. This all allows me to be…
So, you are saying that all people are looking for are Tanks and Clerics? I would add MOF's in there as well. The 4K+ is just wishful thinking for the most part for these classes as there are so few 4K support toons in the game. I have run mSVA well over 300 times and did so with 3.2 to 3.5 K clerics and MOF's.. the tanks…
I really don't understand the whole blame the "Elitist's" deal. The general complaint by a person who states that they can t run the content because of their item level or lack of high level bondings or some other item. Lets step outside of the game for a second.. about 20 years ago I got paid crazy money for contract work…
As we all know, the overall key to tanking with a paly is to build the temp HP through Templars Wrath. The problem that we have to deal with is getting a pool of temp heath to work with. When we go into a fight, we have none... in order to get some we have to inflict damage on the mobs which in turn, If they haven't…
@armadeonx please feel free to hit me up in game @oldashell so I can give you that stat. I have read your question 3 times now and have remembered to get the info 0 times.. lol
Thanks brother.. you certainly would be the one to know.. I figured as much but just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Again, thanks for the input :)
I have solo tanked esva many times and had many wonderful FBI runs where I am the only tank (note that I run with a very strong guild and runs are made with all BIS/near BIS toons).. The key is knowing the groups capabilities and changing Aura's to accommodate the needs.. I do not swap out wisdom for anything but will…
you were saying? hmm I will give it till February even though, as you know now as I actually did before I posted (don't ask) that they are rolling it out now.. same stuff, different people.. sinking ship..
Well @mercedesman it seems that the buffs are static in nature and not affected by things like crit and power. I am not 100% sure on this but from my testing this is what I have found
Ladies and Gents we are fighting a losing battle here. If you are posting to vent and make yourself feel better then more power to you.. but they are not going to change the roll out. This is a financial move for the company plain and simple and they are betting that the truly dedicated and faithful will continue to stick…
I use a Dread Warrior as summoned companion and use oath strike as my at-will. With this and the recent agro changes we got I now get complaints from fellow GF's when running FBI and mSVA that I steal their agro.
majorcharvenak your paly sounds great. I have been thinking of the Holy Avenger on my prot paly. My lightning does OK but I am too low crit for dread or vorp and too many people have a fey that I run with (strong PVP guild) so it would be a waste as a debuff item. The soulforge is great item, I got the shadowclad because…
well I can assure you that my post was no troll attempt. I do get requests for mSVA and FBI on a nightly basis from several parties. I routinely solo tank mSVA and FBI with little to no issues (only in FBI do I have to pay close attention). My paly is 4.1K IL with 3 R12 bondings on a Dread warrior for increased agro. In…
So my question is what role does the Paly really play in the game. As a tank, it cannot compete with a GF in terms of pure tanking, as a buffer it has much less to offer than other classes. As a damaging member of a team it is not nearly as good as any of the dps classes or even that of a well equipped GF. As a protector,…
I leveled a paly for pvp, doing all sorts of research into builds and play styles but paid no attention to this "feature". I went into PVP for the first time with him and died instantly as I was approached by a GF and GWF. Team mates told me of the "feature" and from that point on my PVP paly was now a PVE paly. The good…
When I wrote the original post for this thread I was thrilled that guild mates actively sought to use my services for mSVA runs. This has yielded me 4 greater rings and 3 complete valhalla sets with enought superior marks to complete my main set and one for an alt. The curse that came with it was that in team speak I got…
Great info. I would like to add that the tanks should move the boss a couple steps out from the steps and then be between the boss and the steps during the boss fights. DPS and clerics should be on his back side facing the steps. This will help minimize the damage done to the main DPS units. If this is not what you want to…
Just ran CN for the first time after nerf... looks like either a respect of some sorts of take all the enchants off and build a GF. Thanks Cryptic you Pile of HAMSTER.
I believe what is being complained about was not a fluke in design. They intentionally designed the new area, and its requirements, to be a long grind. This allows them time before they have to come up with other areas, new campaigns and schemes to remove cash from our wallets. If this new area was a short a campaign as…
Lets not be too upset about this. After all, this is the normal means of communication (or lack there of) that they are used to doing. They know that we are going to be mad so they will not respond to us and will, in time, announce that they have removed this service (which we already know they have). On the steam site,…
I am not saying this to be a negative nelly, but think for a second. We have money in an account that is READY to fund this game OR any other game in the steam catalog. I myself see this as a reason for me to curtail spending so much time and money in any one game and to get out of my chair and do something more…
