  • Nice work, I was going to start a thread like this eventually if someone else didn't. I think I have all of the CW base damage, and I also found out the weapon you start level 1 with seems to be the weapon without power, if you want to get accurate coefficients. I can't be arsed to level another wizard though... If you…
  • This sounds like all the people who were bad at playing WoW 1.0... 1) What is the guardian's job? Asside from mobs that are unable to be stunned, frozen etc, there is no need to 'tank' anything. The good GFs do that anyways. If you want us to 'stop dps' to let the 'warrior tank' build 'agro' like im back on Molten Core…
  • The average clerics complains that they have to tank mobs, while being essentially the only class capable of doing it... The average GWF and GF complains about wizards doing tens of thousands of damage with AoE knock-backs, disrupting enemy casts, and gaining AP for a CC cycle, while doing single target knock-backs into…
  • Storm spell is amazing, I've been using it since I put a point into it and man it can hit hard sometimes, higher than magic missile in most cases, which your sheet shows too...
  • You get a lot of points for powers. I maxed my main powers, maxed a few situational powers, and still had 4 left over to max 2 powers after putting 1 into every power for testing. Feats are where you should be spending your thoughts as they are the real customization.
  • Came expecting shoddy math, actually surprised someone else bothered to calc the 3rd order polynomial. I have some Crit numbers if you want, I pulled them off another person's raw data to add to mine, sorry to the person, but I forgot your name.…
  • Yea, this just reeks of bad programming...
  • From what I can tell, AP gain is based on damage done. CW damage is based mostly on Weapon Damage, removing all your gear (3000+ power) will hardly dent your damage, maybe 15%, probably closer to 10%. And lets say you have 40% more AP gain on your gear too. So you do 1 damage with no gear, and 1.15 damage with gear. Your…
  • Can you hit me up with the Weapon Damage + Power formula, the tool tips are broken for some spells, and I don't want to spend 20hrs shooting target dummies
  • I can confirm: Ray of Enfeeble is Base 15%, +5%/+5% for a max rank of 25%. Tabbed Ray of Enfeeble is bugged, and each cast is 50%. Double casting on same target is massive waste currently as they do not stack. From this, there is at least 1 error in the post, but it does not necessarily dismiss the findings, because the…
  • If they remove environmental damage from mobs, this game dies a slow death. I think pvp needs cliffs or higher falls to damage players with positional strategy rather than just stand on the grey point circle.
  • Are you sure they are not in Fashion Mode?
  • You are probably reaching the level of DR that mobs have with your ArP. I found that mobs have at least 10% DR, and some have more. I have not tested the mobs in high level dungeons yet, mainly because the combat log is so archaic, but also because I just run in pugs.
  • Recovery works like this: FINAL COOLDOWN = BASE COOLDOWN / (1 + RECOVERY%/100) 100% Recovery will give you 1/2 the cooldown. It works this way because otherwise 100% recovery would allow infinite damage.
  • This is the result of people who speculate on things without doing research behind them. I play a wizard - Power / 25 gives you the +damage bonus on your char sheet. This is further divided on a spell to spell basis much like +Damage in Word of Warcraft. There is a complex interaction between Weapon Damage and Power, and…
  • Wizard Chill Stacks, Ray of Enfeeblement, and another spell IIRC will reduce your damage significantly. Also attacking enemies in cleric circles will do the same. They can be hard to see sometimes as they are very faint when they are enemy. Now that I think about it, it might be possible to reduce someone's damage to 0 for…
  • The character stats screen is slow to update sometimes, are you sure the first is not that? I have seen video evidence of the set working in pvp on another player (reducing their defense) and in pve (player got multiple thousand defense from steal time aoe). The 2nd part is very interesting, I wonder if its an NPC thing.
  • Some types of netcode make it beneficial to be moving, or vice versa. For example, CS netcode iirc allowed someone moving to shoot a stationary person around a corner before they could see the moving player, the effect being increased with latency. From my experience Neverwinter is the opposite. A standing player seems to…
  • Traps do damage to monsters too. Powerful traps = lol free loot.
  • WoW has been around for 8 years and still has AFKers in PVP. This is simple case of social behavior. If you provide rewards, and the rewards are desired and rare, people will find the most time and effort efficient ways to get the rewards. 1) Remove loss rewards 2) ??? 3) Proffit
  • You don't get XP every hour. I would aneqdotally say something like every 6h you get XP.
  • As a CW when two clerics in PVP place circles on the ground, and I stand in them, and they leave, I am still practically invincible. I don't even use the Wizard Shield for defense when we have 2 clerics, there is no point. I have survived 4 daily powers used on my wizard with no heals other then the Circles... GWF and…
  • 3 Hits is all
  • AFAIK all enchants stack. All the high level players with tons of currency are using multiple of the same enchant specifically because they do stack.
  • You do understand how the Windows 7 task-bar works right? Clearly the only open pinned program is Neverwinter. Er nm, I guess it does look like the div bar is there.
  • GG, this will surely help the value of AD...
  • 2 Mill AD should have been rare for a while. 24,000 raw AD a day, means 84 days before someone gets that much raw. AD was becoming quite rare, at one point Zen was at 349 AD IIRC. I have not really noticed, but is there anything that actually gives Refined AD allowing someone to bypass the 24,000 cap?
  • Buy GUYSE, my 2 Daily Coins I lost are FAR MORE IMPORTANT!!!!!!one!!leleven.... Only thing that could have made this all better was someone doing a NW version of 2beez....
  • I was working on this on my time while leveling, but was going to wait until I reached level 60 to release anything about it since I don't want to waste a re-spec on a pre-60 character. There are some pretty interesting results so far, such as a large number of Wizard Spells not scaling with Power at all, level based DR on…
