Oh, Thanks Sharp. I'll look for an updated link in your thread. Shame on me for bookmarking your guide previously vs. the forum thread.
-
Thanks @niadan Ignore below - I was looking at an outdated guide. I did check Sharp's guide and unfortunately it's on his to do list for the guide: What has yet to be done: A case by case analysis of Evocation. I was almost done with this. In addition, Crit Conflag, Swath, Combustive, Arcane Presence and what benefits from…
-
Guess not :) Well I'll report back anything I observe. Thanks.

This is not some novel concept.... Pretty much ever MMO with maybe the exception of WoW required players to gear up on lesser content to do the current top tier content... (I say WoW... because of their habit of trivializing end game gear with each expansion) Also people need to understand... that those people looking for…
-
Just one additional comment from me... I'd recommend Imperial Rage Drake for DPS stats. 4k Crit is a nice addition to a DPS GF or just boosting DPS in general. Especially since we gain no Crit % from attributes. Since we don't Power Share... 4k Power is less effective (than for OP's or DC's)... especially when you consider…

I would definitely say that Lion has best Combat Power for GF. That shield is nice to have at the start of combat. (especially when the rest of the group is getting into position for bosses, etc)
-
Roger! Thanks

Side Question: I've been looking on the Preview Forum and I couldn't make a determination if MOB Arm Pen is going up? So do we need to stack more than 95% DR.. when in full Tank Mode? Thanks.
-
The Death Slaad is good. As a GF you have a threat modifier, so the damage in a way is not that important. I think of it as a fire and forget type of mechanic... you get it running... then continue to build threat even though you aren't focused on it. The DoT is just good for keeping threat on trash or high movement bosses…
-
I also endorse this move. Single best source of HP's. Given you are already using a Dancing Shield, you are not light on Defense Rating.. so you aren't missing the stats from other chest armor. With DeepKnight's Brigandine you will have a hard time not being 150k+ Hit Points.
-
My personal favorite is Gigantic - 920 HP, 460 Deflection, 230 Defense. Draconic is also a viable option if you prefer the extra lifesteal.. but I think you are better off getting that from bondings and also Insignia's are a good source for extra Lifesteal. (I've personally favor Deflection... as you can't and shouldn't…
-
Also just remember... you don't have to be one thing. With loadouts... you just need to carry extra gear with you. So you can be all out DPS for trivial/farming content.... full tank for content that is challenging for yourself and your party... or in between... if you have a high gear score level group that will melt mobs…

This could also be contributing at times: Artificer's Persuasion: Whenever you use an Artifact power, your Recovery, Movement , Action Point Gain, and Stamina Gain are increased by 10% of your Power for 15 seconds. I think I get about 6-7k movement from Artificers.
-
Only class with a higher Defect Severity is TR I believe @ 75%. They also get Deflect from two Attributes Dex & Cha.
-
Gotcha. Hopefully you have a regular group of Guildmates or buddies to maintain those ideal group comps. Definitely, awesome if you do! :smile:
-
Hey @dairyzeus, I think rjc9000 pretty much has already addressed your questions, but I wanted to response to your specific questions behind my thought process.... :smile: Just to clarify about Steel Blitz, I wasn't suggesting dropping Combat Superiority. I was thinking you would drop Steel Grace for strictly AOE trash…
-
Hey @dairyzeus I think another thing you might need to remember is... GF's are like GWF's DPS wise (without the attack speed boost from Unstoppable)... in that we are less encounter dependant and more at-will depending for damage. Coming from CW... which are the opposite... you might be thinking too much about your…
-
Awesome! Thanks for the quick response @kacezet
-
I would think really people should have a back pocket Protector Build vs. Tactician. Tac feats are more about buffing vs. tanking.... (but maybe as the OP stated is what pug raids are asking for.. I dunno... I rarely group out of Guild/Alliance) With the exception of maybe United and Surging Tide. At least now that Iron…
-
Hey @rjc9000 Thanks bud! Super Awesome. I'll report back any results.
-
I believe Smolder is Arcane Damage (Fire) in the same way Fanning the Flame is Arcane . Rimfire I believe does benefit from Chill Presence since it's a mix of Arcane and Cold. It also needs cold spells to refresh once started.
-
Hey, I was just addressing brick's situation. I wasn't questioning if someone can get to 100% crit. The question I was posing is it optimal to do so.... Basically the question I was posing is... is Vorpal BiS? or Is Fey the best enchant to use for GF and as a result it might be more optimal to stack additional…
-
Ahh.. thanks. I was sure someone could/can get to 100%. Forge has 85% with 5 stacks using Black Ice in Offensive slots 90% with Food + Potion Switching to Brutals would give me about 5% more crit % and Azures would give me about 12% more. (so easily 100% with potion + food) The primary question is... is it worth it? vs.…
-
Right I was talking about getting to 100% Crit %, since that is what you need to have the 25% value outlined in the shared document. @ 89% you are only getting a diminish value (I'd need someone with slick math skills to say exactly what the difference of Vorpal Effectiveness is 100% vs. 89%) That could actually render Fey…
-
It's been confirmed that the damage increases in the tool tip are not currently working. I'll see if I can dig up a thread / post that details the testing validation. (I'll edit my post when I find it)
-
Great work again @rjc9000 I would also promote use of a Trans Fey as an end goal Weapon Enchant choice. Especially given the thread's title (Hybrid DPS Tank). Fey had a very consistent DPS increase value (18% - 24.2%), it also has a lower likeliness of having multiple in the group... as I mostly see it with tanks... and a…
-
Hey @"markeen#2032" The additional damage from multiple Archons is a LIE :smile: It doesn't work... regardless of what the tooltip says...
-
Hey @"jaime4312#3760" If I read that correctly you are on Xbox? So I know you guys never got Loyal Avenger Companion gear... so another reason people would be reluctant to switch... the expense of acquiring new Loyal Avenger gear if they don't already have it for the debuff companions. (Since the addition stat value on…
-
I might suggest the decision be based upon if you are using Defense/Lifesteal or HP Stronghold Boon. If you have HP available.. use SH Resto... if you are using Defense or Lifesteal... then maybe keep with the Deepknight.
-
Thanks for the confirmation test. I tested this back when they provided GF's and GWF's each other's Paragon's to each other as second options. (What was that mod 3 or 4?) I had figured this hadn't changed, but I wasn't speaking from any recent testing. I think the only time I went IV (after SM became available) was when I…
