As a melee class this fight was super annoying. I spent so much time running out of the red circles that I couldnt do much DPS. I hope that other encounters will punish ranged and let melee do its thing.In fact I am really getting tired of the red cirlce or cone on the floor mechanic as I have seen it in several dungeons…
I have to say, I love the GF and he is way EZ to level. I can kill packs of mobs and end up with near full health where my GWF would have to chug several pots and barely live. And in PVP he is boss.
1. Remove Sprint. This is a stupid mechanic for a heavy plate wearing giant 2H sword weilding fighter. 2. Increase AOE damage by 30% 3. Increase Action Point Regen by 50% 4. Add stacking snare effect to At-Will AOE attacks. 5. Increased Damage mitigation Class Feature while using AOE attacks. Like a 20% reduction in damage…
How does your argument apply to damage vs cloth users? Listen, if there is no attempt at realism at all why even make the daggers do stab animations? Why not just shoot lasers out of them?? The OP is correct. Games with smarter developers like WoW understood this simple concept. Big weapon means slower attack speed, but…
Best summary I have seen. I agree 100% Weakest class, but most fun to play hit the nail right on the head. But like you say, no one wants a GWF in their group. I have been kicked right after zoning in to a dungeon and into PVP. Our rep is in the toilet. We really serve no purpose. I dropped mine and rolled TR for super…
I find it interesting that people sign up to play a game, only to figure out ways to not actually play the game. PS if you are the captain and notice that you have one or more AFK losers on your team, do what I do. Kick them all, then leave group. no honor!!!
GFW are not meant to stand toe to toe and PVP. They excel and distracting enemies and capping points though. they should call them Great Runners, or Great Weapon Holders.
Yes they are extremely weak, even with Unstoppable up. this is why good GFWs run away when encoutner cooldowns are not up in PVP. Not worth it to spam at wills.
Thanks for the Guide. I dumped my GWF after 33 levels and have my GF up to level 30 and having lots of fun in PVP. right now I am a 100% tanky build made for holding points and distracting the enemy, but I look forward to going all DPS and watching heads roll.
The strength of the GWF is not fighting and surely not 1v1. The strength, sadly, is in escaping and running. Yes running like a woman. So, when you get chain CCed and pummeled by 3-5 enemies, or just one TR, do this: 1. Pop Unsoppable(if you are taking uber damage it will be up dont worry) 2. Sprint toward potion or…
GWF is a joke. In PVE they suck at DPS and there is currently no reason to bring one over a second TR or CW. I play one in PVP mainly becauce they are good at capping and can escape almost anything. Last night I had #1 in points with 0 deaths and 0 kills, despite the fact that I did a lot of fighting. When its time to…
PVP is very fun, and very messed up. I wont talk about class balance cause everyone knows about TR and CW problems. But the AFKing with no penalty and quitters with no deserter debuff is idiotic. Last night I even discovered that as lead of my team, I can KICK everyone and then leave the group myself. Not sure how it…
I'm starting to think this game is just a money grab myself. It has no depth and there are many many things missing that should be a featured in any MMO in 2008 let alone 2013. the classes are imbalanced the weapon skins are abysmal and too few, cash shop prices are outrageous customer support is almost non-existent,…
The OP is mostly correct. I have yet to see ONE PERSON post screenshots of a GWF that has performed well in a dungeon, let alone PVP. Until I see that, you are all just contrarians with nothing to back your claims and silly "L2P" statements.
This. After leveling to my 30s I realized this class is trash and rolled a GF. My problem with GWF is that is is just not needed in dungeon runs. What role is is supposed to fill? Subpar threat, defense, DPS, aoe, etc. It is bad. In PVP is gets owned by every class if the player is good.
It should not be big news that gamers want variety in weapons and armor. The fact that Cryptic has so SEVERELY limited both makes me really wonder about their collective intelligence.
