Thank you for the GWF changes. Hopefully this is just the thing our GWF's needed. Those of us playing this class certainly appreciate the changes & the notice you've given to the more constructive elements of the NW community. Merry Christmas to all :)

Quite the thread revival :) Most of the builds end up posted elsewhere. If you'd like someone to post a new def build, try to find damnacious. He's very well-rounded on GF knowledge. I can post mine, but I'm sure it's second-best compared to a lot of very excellent GF's out there. If you'd like mine, let me know in-game…

I have two mounts: Heavy Warg & the Throne. Can't wait to go bobsledding on the Throne :)

Funny you mention this. I've kicked around the idea of unbind tokens for awhile, mostly discussing with other people in-game. The idea is pretty wonderful & would help a lot of folks out, especially with the extraordinarily difficult to obtain companions from lockboxes. My idea for implementation would be a 4-pack on the…

Depends on your preferred playstyle. As you're running 2 melee classes, if you want to stay melee, go TR. If you want to dabble in ranged classes, try HR or SW. If you want to laugh maniacally while screaming "NUMBERS!" as you watch damage numbers fill your screen while facemelting everything in PvE, go CW or DC.…

Always a fun discussion, but it is starting to wear a bit thin. Instead of continually adding new classes, it would be nice to give a little more love to the classes we already have available. By this, I mean an integration of the DnD versions for multiclassing. I would love to treat my GWF like my DnD character & have…

I absolutely agree with mjy's post above, but I do have a few concessions. Duelist Flurry - I prefer sly flourish due to the lock-on of Flurry. Been plenty of occasions that I've seen a TR lock-on to a mob, just to be thrown off of a cliff by a CW or DC using some repel powers. Flurry is much better than Sly on the dps…

I really did like using it in lower level (30-40's) range, but upon reaching 60, it is outclassed by everything else. The concept posted above of having it as a personal cast instead of targeting is an excellent idea. So is the idea of having this as a rooting power, since the class has no real CC powers. If they reworked…

If you can, try getting into your graphics settings. Speaking for myself, I need to readjust all settings after every new module or other major patch as it resets to some sort of automatic settings for my computer. Mine isn't a powerhouse, so I play under less than normal settings anyway. Just a thought, let us know if it…

Lots of good info here & great ideas. But on a personal level, try using /unlit 1 in your chat bar to help against lag & rubberbanding. It's not the perfect solution, but it does help in intensive instances such as MC & Tiamat. Use /unlit 0 to return to normal afterwards. Alternately, try turning off the damage/heal…

Might try an exec WK if you get to feeling a bit froggy. Running the Smoke bomb, stealth, path of the blade (I think it's called), followed up by lashing blade at the end of your stealth mixes amazingly well with the SoD capstone. Haven't met a group of mobs outside of a dungeon that can stand up to it well, even at just…
-
I think I understand mojorat's question is, "Why do I get 4 IS out of three charges?" If I'm right that it is your question, may I suggest referring back to the tooltip? The stats for IS state that while stealthed, no charges are used & the damage done is based on 2 charges remaining (has higher damage based on charges…
-
IV/prot here. Yes, conq is a lot easier for solo play, but even running as low as 8k-9k should be fine (albeit slightly longer than dps classes) in dailies, etc. I've never swapped gear between dailies & parties, so unless you're going with one of the buff bot builds I wouldn't worry too much about it. Each feat tree has…

Why does everyone keep asking for RP in dungeons?? Every epic you pick up is more rp for your artifact stuff. Don't have any more AD to buy rp from the AH? Go farm some dungeons for it! When everyone was concerned that the fey/dragon/tymora enchant drops were becoming BtA & exclaiming about how we should be receiving rp…

Well, there are plenty of games (all the way back to N64 days) that use variations on multiple action bars. Most recent I can think of would be DMC4 with the ability to change classes on a toggle mid-battle. Maybe a click on the joystick buttons to swap between two sets. Don't think more than 2 preset action bars would be…
-
Most of the same as above: ITF, ET, KV. I don't swap out powers for the head phase, though. Not a buff bot or perma-block, so KC can take me out pretty quick on the head AoE's. Instead I try to kite the mobs over to the side so the dps can do their job on the head. My reasoning is the 2k-4k that I put out on crushing…
-
I can see changing out PF for lightning, but why are you considering swapping PF for terror? Just curious, as most people consider PF to be an upgrade to terror.
-
Zxorn has the perfect answer. Yes, a 10k TR can one shot those annoying enemies in WoD. Started my WK exec a few months ago when I heard about good changes on the way for TR's & finally got her into WoD a few days ago (casual gamer here). Running the stealth feats that buff......well, everything in stealth (don't remember…

What class(es) are you currently running? I do enjoy running a GF (have been running since mod2), but my GWF/HR/SW/TR are a lot of fun. Diversify, maybe play through the intro on each & then decide. It really comes down to which class you enjoy. I'd play one of each if I could get the char slots to do it (I'm kinda cheap…
-
Actually, I do like where the mini-dungeons are at. If you look back to the times you've leveled a character without Dragon Bone or Mulhorand equipment, I think these fights are much in the same vein as those mini-dungeons. People that try to strong-arm their way through content get brought up short for a wake-up call &…

Off-topic Join dates don't reflect game start time. I've been playing since just after Christmas 2013. Pretty sure my join date says Nov. 2014 as well. It's based on either first login to the forums or first post, not sure which.

There's a lot of very good suggestions above. Great response from the community. Everyone has a few quirks that they like, some like the buff bot & run with groups all the time, others like the conq style & roflstomp through things with some scratches for character :) Really though, GF probably isn't your thing. You might…

I like all of the above posts, but I'd like to clarify a few things that took me some time to figure out. There's a couple of tabs above the chat box. That's self explanatory. Clicking on the settings gear will open up the chat tab settings, which is a different menu from the basic esc-settings-chat menu. Edit these…

Ummm..... There is also a way to set loot rules if you are the party lead. It's restrictive, but it is there. Also, my preference is for greed all. Enchants, shards, you name it. The only time I make an exception to this is if someone actually wants the gear. I'll toss a piece of RG to an HR (in the party) in some T1 who…

First, nothing in this game is that complicated. This is DnD for dummies. Everything is distilled down into basics & much of the gameplay (like multiclassing) is lost. Great fun & I love this version of Neverwinter, but the point remains. Having run a gf/gwf/hr/sw/tr through over 90% of the game, I'd have to say GF. Mainly…

After running my main for a few months & having a lack of success at drops or lockboxes, I started an alt. That alt has been my main farming alt as it tends to get quite a few drops. I'm up to five characters & so far I can say that one alt has a significant amount of luck in comparison to my other characters. Evidence -…

Ok, then. It sounds like you have your feats in the wrong place for your playstyle. Yes, a lot of things have been nerfed & yes, most of us have had to respec within the last 2-3 months. But a lot of things have been buffed or changed to better reflect that class. Do I actually believe this? Yes, I do. This is about the…

Most classes use stamina for dodging, which shows up around your AP gauge. Since blocking is so integral to the GF class, it has a special bar just next to your character. That is the GF stamina/guard bar. The shield just shows if you are blocking or not. After a few more hours, you won't even notice it anymore.
-
Well, let's look at it. -GF Pros- Good ability to draw threat (finally!) Almost as many buffs in the encounters as there are damage/stun attacks Can save party members that get in over their head by using ET or Villain's Menace. Good parties are an absolute joy, easily the most fun I've had. (My alts: GF/GWF/HR/SW/TR) If…

I'm going to go out on a limb & say something strange. Why should PvP be different from PvE? Really liked mod2 when all of the powers did what they said. I never felt like a buff bot, did *some* damage (conq capstone, villain's menace, etc.), & was actually enjoyable. Not sure where the "left out" part comes from, though.…
