Thanks for a nice guide, and a lot of effort put into the thread as a whole runicfi! I don't know why people advocating more control over more damage fail to see how you can slot powers according to the current needs, and not a single one has anything to say when you ask how they get more control than a Thaumaturge with a…
Yes. I agree.. get to a reasonable amount of crit and recov first and then build power. But I'm not sure I understand why you (and many others) use the term "soft cap". That term makes good sense when the DR is steadily increasing (semi-linearly) up to a point, and then suddenly increases a lot. Then "soft cap" would be at…
I'm not sure I've got this correctly, but it's my understanding that DR on crit from gear is completely separate from the %bonus from str, meaning if you have gear with 3k crit on it you will get the same crit improvement regardless of what base crit you have from a high or low strength value. Please correct me if I'm…
Ahh.. double clerics.. I had not considered this.. I'm guessing you're the exception rather than the rule. You were the guy with cha + int build, yes? Personally I'm not sure the sacrifice (in terms of oomph) is worth it, but I can see how it might work well. However I do expect that for most random 2x clerics who end up…
I see. Thanks for the swift response. I should have realized that I got mixed up on the feat descriptions. I think my thought process was like this: Foresight gives DR, the wording on Benefit of Foresight speaks in terms of "Defense", so does the wording for Restoration Mastery. Hence RM gives DR. Errr!! wrong! :D This…
First off, I'd like to say thank you for a very nice guide, and secondly thanks everyone for a very nice discussion following it. To my amazement I actually read the whole thread. I wanted to contribute some ideas that may have nothing to them, or may move us further forward. I'm concerned with the aggro issue, and seing…
That's what I've been thinking all along as well. Though if they want, they could rather than wipe all the toons, simply remove all the stuff, giving them some rudimentary items appropriate for starting at each characters level. Ie. if you have a decked out 60, be given sufficient items that you can start doing the…
Yes, you, and you and I may figure out that you can disable this feature. But that doesn't help very much if that other random player didn't figure this out, so you have to either wait for nn minutes and see if he doesn't leave, or quit yourself and requeue. This is of course mainly a problem with random queing. Which I…
