@pandarus, please go to WoD or IWD with your toon. Try to clear the encounters you have to pass to finish your daily quests. Try to finish one of the WoD lairs. How did you fare? Eaten by two polar bears? Don't fret, happens to the best of us. If the damage profiles remain as they currently are, the majority of the player…
Feedback: Scaling Currently the scaling is of on both ends. I could easily solo Chartraxis on a downscaled lvl 61 CW in quest gear (17k on live). Especially the incoming daming is far to low. The bite and claw attacks only take about 1/5th of my hp. They take about 4/5th on live. In the Wispering Caverns ToD instance on…
The HP tooltip is misleading. HP gives a damage resist debuff too. See Kaelacs guide or check with ACT. You get about 24% (three stacks) more damage with HP. If DT works as advertised it should give you 5% more damage. Even at one stack only HP will give you more. So HP is far superior to DT.
If we can only use one slot because we have only one free tool it is impossible to keep up with people with a bunch of epic tools, as you well know. As it would be unwise to say what I really think about that ... I'm DISAPPOINTED, severly.
Nice try! The only problem is one half of the people doesn't understand and the other half doesn't won't to understand. Capping debuffs/buffs or DRs on debuffs wouldn't affect people with bad gear or bad builds and skill selections. They don't profit from them anyway. And it wouldn't affect PUGs with suboptimal group…
Archmage has the advantage that it has the same stat distribution as HV. So you don't have to fiddle with your accessories and enchants when you upgrade to HV. The four piece set bonus can be very effective if you use powers affected by it. You should be aware though that Archmage might not be the best choice if you run a…
Bug: Opressive Force, Sudden Storm, Icy Terrain Powers don't crit anymore! Please fix this! Bug: Critical Conflagration It's still possible to stack Rimefire on targets with IT. It's also possible to proc Rimefire on targets with non critical hits of cold powers. Both is possibly related. Bug: Fanning the Flame Power (not…
The base damage is the crit neutral average damage the powers dealt with my attributes (24, 15, 21), gear (2 arch/2 focal, yep measly T1 ;), shard orb, no weapon enchant) and stats (about 3k power, if i remember rightly), no feats feated, OOI and Storm Fury as passives, computed from the average damage ACT reported after…
I did 5 test runs, 1 to establish my base damage for the spells i mentioned, 3 for Evocation, Wizards Wrath and Focused Wizardry, 1 for Chilling Presence. In each test i spammed my setup on the dummies (side room) for about 5 minutes, trying to cast encounters and the daily as soon they where available. Afterwards I…
As said, I didn't test BP, only CP, but neither tabbed COI nor IT did show a damage increase with CP slotted, when i tested them in rotation. I only assume that the same is true for BP. Both BP and CP are certainly very valuable in PVP or singe target situations to boost Chill Strike, Ice Rays or Ice Knife. My remarks only…
I went 3/3 WW, BP and FW, but Blighting Power was a mistake probably. In our usual setup only Chilling Cloud seems to profit from it. I did not test BP, but that at least was the case when I tested Chilling Presence. So your first feat distribution should provide better damage. I have the impression AOE damage easily is…
Post Fury of the Feywild I went to Preview to test the AOE feats and passives with some of the spells I'm using or considered using. Conduit of Ice (Spell Mastery), Icy Terrain, Steal Time, Oppressive Force and Sudden Storm all show the expected about 15 % damage increase when Wizards Wrath and Focused Wizardry are feated.…
