Yeah, that was a reading error on my behalf. It is a 6% increase of the 16% it gives you; Though I still feel it's a better choice for myself over Toughness.
I'm glad to see everyone is having a positive result with the build setup. As for a gear guide, that is in the making and will be posted here in the next couple of days.
Thanks all for the opinions, as I posted in my build setup this was just something I came up with after noticing my Instigator build wasn't meeting the standards I wanted with my damage. (So note that this is not a cookie-cutter top of the line build, just a hotfix) I will have to try out WS > SS since a lot of you are…
As for the discussion above about the Instigator spec; I personally came from that build and after creating this I have seen nothing but improvements in my damage, and my run completions (as well as my guild member's who have taken this build into consideration). I appreciate all of the feedback though.
Sure Strike might not be the best option in mob clearing (being why I have built around WMS) but when you are put on boss duty what are you going to use? Wicked Strike (another AOE that's a small % of the damage compared to WMS) or Reaping Strike that takes seconds just to charge up? Daring Shout/Roar really only gains…
For my Defensive slots I put Azure Enchantments in them for the power increase from Steely Defense, and I'm glad you're finding improvement/enjoyment with this build. As for ironwill92, I never once posted saying I don't believe in soft/hard caps. I had just posted what I mainly focus on when gearing out my character.…
As for leveling with a GWF, I'm not entirely sure. I leveled up with a friend who was a TR so it went a little smoother than what you would see solo leveling.
Well as a GWF we do see alot of incoming damage, and yes the gear could be a big part of the intake you are seeing. One question I have is are you using level appropriate gear, and are you staying stocked up on potions? You might also try using a Cleric as a companion, though she doesn't really do as much as you'd expect.…
It really depends on which dungeon I am running. Some dungeons I will top a TR no problem, but some with less mobs and more single target attacking they can easily out DPS me.
Really the only time I use Sure Strike is on a boss fight or in PvP (after applying WMS's Feat debuff) but no, I use Lightning. As for using it as a main At-Will I'm not entirely sure.
Happy to hear the build is working out for you! Yeah, I forgot to throw in my build setup for PvP but I mainly switch out Steel Blitz for Steel Grace (less CC) and switch out Restoring Strike for Takedown. Also it helps to at least attack once with WMS to apply the debuff and then proceed with Sure Strike. If you find any…
Not a typo, I have seen a high critical strike from that Encounter several times. As for urlag, I run with Steel Blitz for a chance to have an extra attack with 24% increased damage (3/3). Being WMS swings in a 240' cone, every target in that vicinity gets hit with the chance for an extra attack. I went back and fixed the…
Hey, I posted a build setup for a T2/CN Great Weapon Fighter that also works in PvP if you wouldn't mind putting it into this category? http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?316031-Akfortyseven-PvE-Build : is the link, thanks.
