So. My post was not clear at all apparently, for which I apologize. Ayroux, I am not going to address the tone with which you responded. I did not lash out, name call or be little anyone else's experience. You are clearly frustrated and I will leave it at that. Do NOT push it. With that aside, I will clarify. In my first…
Everyone is making pretty decent points. Your claims are all valid to a degree. However, everyone is missing a major point and it is this... It doesn't matter what the GWFs are or were, it is about the direction they are going. This is relevant not only to the GWF class but to the entire game. GWFs are currently an…
I hope paladins are the next class introduced. (Barring that it's my personal favorite of all D&D classes) If you go by armor types we have 2 of each type of armor wearing classes now. The only odd one out is another plate wearing class to balance out itemizations. On top of this, there is only one type of support healer…
Haha. Well sorry to disappoint but I am not a TR (and I only just got to lvl 60 as an HR). I am also not saying GWFs needed a nerf because I feel something else should be on top. The fact that it is everyone's first reaction is a bit appauling. GWFs needed a decrease in power because it was needed. Not because you were on…
Depending on your gear score, what you're asking for would place you on top for dps across all classes which should not be the case. A pure dps class (TRs) should be the only class sitting on that throne but they are not. I do agree that having you decrease your current survivability, you would need a slight increase in…
You are absolutely right. Cryptic (and Perfect World by extension) should not have let it run as long as they have. Their initial product goal was to have each class fulfill different roles in this game. These initial classes were to be developed as the base for a party makeup. GF= Tank GWF= Tank/ Dps hybrid CW= AoE dmg/…
This is a very interesting idea. I was actually thinking about something like this a few days ago. The two classes are fighters, where all of their basic traits and paragon paths are the same. Since the GWF, in terms of it's current form, is working better than the GF implementation, we can use that as a starting point.…
Once again, you are looking at it in a vacuum. And once again, you ignored the rest of my post because your own stance was threatened. (Or you are just too lazy or don't want to check things out for yourself.) Which is fine do what you want. Just don't go promoting it to the rest of the community. So, I am going to…
@Asterotg- Most people DO NOT test the changes before they post. I am personally thanking you for the fact that you have and then posted your feedback. But for this thread all who posted before me have not. Re-read the posts. It is filled with "I THINK these changes are (boring/ stupid/ game breaking...)..." or "I FEEL…
I just realized something reading this thread. Not a single one of you, who have complained and whined, have gone to test the GWF changes. NOT. A. Single. One. It is the same on the preview forums under the GWF changes. Everyone who complained have just read the patch notes and immediately picked up their pitchforks at the…
The game is very fun and best of all... FREE! So give it another go. The only thing you will sacrifice is a bit of time learning the ropes. I just returned myself and I am having a blast. I am also going to beg you, reeeeeeeally beg you, not to get too caught up in forum drama about classes ect. Find a good guild or find a…
I've been lurking the forums a while and I've been playing off and on since open beta. The community attitude on many of the classes have shifted dramatically due to the relevance of their style of play and efficiency of completing endgame content. DPS is king in PVE for a game where mechanics don't necessitate the need…
I joined during the open beta but never picked it up, (FFXIV stole my soul for a bit.) I saw the game recently and wanted to give it another shot. I have no experience with the game since open beta. Thanks for the advice everyone. I just realized that I can get another free character slot from the first buyer item on the…
So basically, it is a dps race then. I always found games that try to do away with the "holy trinity" type play find themselves with the uninteresting "kill it and kill it fast" mentality. (I.E. Guild Wars 2, Wildstar, etc) It's a little boring to me but it has it's place I suppose and the game mechanics are still…
I just rerolled my character (GWF) to GF yesterday. I've always enjoyed playing the utility class. (Tanks/healers/buffers etc) Going from GWF to GF was an eye opener. The combat was a blast. Having the ability to block at will and still deal some respectable damage was a godsend. (Compared to GWF). Now today I've been…
Hey there. I began playing not too long ago and couldn't seem to stop. lol I began on beholder but haven't gotten too far. (Cleric and GWF lvl 20). I decided it was time to start looking for a guild and stumbled across this gem of a post. Even though I am on a different server I'd love the chance to start over on Dragon…
All of you people whining about maintenance tonight need to grow up. If the game crashed hard during these hours you would be here, on the forums, complaining that they could have done a better job doing maintenance. Now that they are taking steps to fix issues and make the game better for the launch, you are still…
