Anyone happen to know if Geforce Now will work for running neverwinter after Feb 15 (e.g. from steam via cloud). Supposed to be supported now. See https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/ My gaming system is and will remain win7, at least for awhile, so I'm hoping this is an option...

If I understand the "problem" they are trying to "fix", it is that the ilvl for companions/companion items does not scale like the stats from them do. i.e. 1000 ilvl companion gear gives more stats than corresponding 1000 ilvl player gear, because of the multiplier from bondings/comp influence/companion bolster. There is a…

Just want to clarify: is this change going to be an IMPROVEMENT, NO NET CHANGE, or a NERF to existing characters? In my personal case, with the following condition: -using an orange augment companion -3 R15 bonding runestones, with 1010 ilvl companion gear and R12-R15 stat runestones -15% bolster 5 orange companions in…

It's grey, iirc... I don't think I've ever seen a grey quest item. So at a guess, it's a flavor item like the bag of holes...

I'm using loyal defender belts (got em from the old dice game long ago), but I seem to remember that a moderately decent belt drops from stronghold BHEs, tho I don't remember the name (orcish something maybe? I'll look it up tonight). I think it had a companion overload slot instead of a second enchant, but some of those…

I've personally only seen the turtle slam when he was trying to target someone he couldn't hit with his DD or steam attack, which can occur even if someone is directly in front of him if someone/something at his neck taunts. But, as long as I've had aggro and been positioned correctly I've not seen him slam (aside from…
-
I've set up with 3 builds; a Tac build for high end groups I know/trust (still futzing with details after swapping around some boons/gear/enchants...); a pure dps Conq build for daily grinding and the fun occasions when I'm not tanking (mostly tia, occasionally other instances); and a Prot spec turtle-ish build for lower…

Defensive, perhaps an ioun stone of allure? 10% chance (purple) on encounter use to "slow" target. Not sure what the duration/impact is, anyone have #'s?
-
Also: - Make *SURE* no one in your group is using a defender companion. They are evil and steal aggro when in bad locations. - Consider reminding gwf/pallys to not use taunts of any type unless they are where you should be, right in front, and want to get hit instead of you. Otherwise, the stuff @"mitty#8178" said above…

Sorry for delay, long day... so, was wrong on both numbers... ~24% chance, 116% severity (238 when the greater everfrost clothes proc...). Ridiculously high power helps a lot (135k+ w/bonding in the right group in full tank gear) too. I guess I wouldn't spec for it at the expense of RI/DR, and it certainly isn't min/max…
-
I didn't deliberately set out to run high lifesteal, but ended up that way- I'll post details later when I can log in to check exact numbers (seem to remember around 30% chance, 85% severity, but I could be way off...). The SH boon can add a ton if you don't need the defense one instead. Again, I'll try to post some real…

I really kind of miss the old reflect spam loops with pallys... was a great "gear check" for RL equipment, and was fun watching things just melt away in bright flashes of white light. :smiley:
-
Confirm the last bit about the manticores' parting shots... not quite sure why it happens, but it does and it hurts!
-
No, it was a total fabrication. Honest... and grr, I *luvs* my healthstones, dammit! Er...
-
Just a couple ideas/opinions: Invest in the resist consumables (elixirs and stronghold food, if available to you) and any of the other resist gear/reinforcement kits you can lay hands on. Running with 50+% helps general survivability a lot. Read up on the fight a bit, and make sure you understand the tank stacking…
-
Was new to me also, but found this: https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/do-you-have-hpet-enabled-or-disabled.2362109/ Sounds like it's a valid option at least tho.
-
Anyone happen to have a really good no-compromise, solo DPS build handy? Specifically, char stats (cha or dex?), feats, and powers. Boons are pretty straight forward... last time I ran like that was back in the mod 6 days, when Conq + Lifesteal = Immortal... I've been messing around with a few (piles of respecs from winter…
-
I'd be the first to admit it's a total crutch; basically allows you to make up for other issues, like moderate amounts of server lag, or very low dps/healing/partial groups. You do still need to facetank him a significant part of time (use CS to buff dmg then :) ), but you can also do things like mark and ITF without…
-
KC works GREAT vs. Orcus- just stay out of melee range while it's up... 10 sec of 100% aggro, 0% incoming dmg.
-
So- triggering defense effect on relic weapon set "dependably": 1). at start of fight: just toggle shield on/off before marking, hitting ITF, and closer (bull, threatening, etc.) 2). reapply (if desired) after emote/purple buff dot pops up, usually just before or when *2nd* ITF (rank 4) refreshes. 3). otherwise, 2nd ITF…

Just saw this in the patch notes- Guardian Fighter Guarded Assault no longer triggers from other reflect powers. http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/neverwinter/news/detail/10370933-patch-notes%3A-version%3A-nw.70.20161205a.14
-
Yes, it's likely what @rjc9000 said... I also miss the old KC set. :( Sitting in front of wrong computer to test right now, I'll make a point to document later tho (fingers and eyes know how to do it, but brain wants to make sure it remembers correctly...). Separate topic, any one else have any strong feelings on the…
-
Just a fairly obvious observation, but running FBI (and SVA) with 55-60% resist makes a *really* noticeable difference. Basically, it allows you to be a little sloppy. That plus healthstone makes those instances significantly less party-ilvl-sensitive...
-
Hrm, I've had pretty good luck triggering the "desired" power on the relic set... I do usually go for the offensive one, but I haven't had any issue triggering defense when I really want it (usually at the start of a boss fight, before debuffs go in). You DO have to try pretty deliberately to get the defense power to…
-
@rjc9000: Just opinion here: unless you only roll out your GF for tanking duties, having the ability to go "DPSy" when NOT grinding an instance (i.e. being tanky) makes life much more enjoyable. I personally swap out 4 powers, one mount insignia, 2 companions, and 2 companion gear items and go from beefy tank to reasonable…
-
Sorry, guess i wasn't clear- I mean, which artifact class feature (mainhand) and feature/stat (shield)? Doesn't matter which artifact weapon set afaik (at least the shieldbearers and twisted are the same anyway). The bit when you right click the item and select "manage artifact powers...". i.e. cube of augmentation…
-
Okay, reasonable. I'd just note that you can skip a LOT of other sta builders by JUST using the pdragon, which is EZ to swap out for something more DPSie or buffy, if the situation warrants. Also, maybe I missed it in the write up, but what weapon/shield artifact powers have you tested/are you using/suggesting?
-
Hola- I've actually been running a build similar to this ever since the lifesteal nerf/mod 6 too... tho I think you might be missing something? You can get simply amazing sta regen from the pseudodragon companion; for me it's basically 100% shield availability if I'm actually hitting things. When tanking, my companion load…
-
Some details: - reward is account wide - it's at the regular reward vendor in town - the companion is a short, stout, brown haired female wearing a green outfit
-
A bit off-topic, but regarding the Orcus fight; if you have trouble surviving in melee range (weak or no group heals, lag messing up rotation, etc) then you might consider using Knights Challenge and STAYING OUT OF MELEE RANGE while it's up. With rank 4, it locks him up hard for ~10 seconds out of every 20ish, during which…
