Normally, I would agree with you on this. But in the very SAME dungeon (Castle Never), there are locations with railings of similar height, where the very same technique is blocked by an invisible wall. If they were careful enough to put up invisible walls in locations where you are fighting nothing more than minions, I'm…
I believe the reason the devs have held off on fixing Astral Shield stacking (if indeed they have somewhere announced that it is currently not working as intended) is due to the fact that most Guardian Fighters cannot hold aggro. The need for healing and damage reduction is mitigated by having a tank. It's reasonable to…
Quill here. My main responsibility in the boss fight was knocking off adds that my teammates gathered for me. In order to push mobs lifted with Arcane Singularity, you must actually burst your shield in the split second BEFORE the mobs enter the Singularity. This may take a bit of practice to get the timing right, but once…
1. There will be no further wipes. 2. It has been confirmed by a forum red that this game will reach release by "Early 2013". I read this as "before July 1, 2013". 3. If Cryptic's track record with other releases is any indication, they will release their first major content update with the "release", which should include…
There are three paragon paths: Oppressor, Thaumaturge and Renegade. Oppressor emphasizes control and uses many ice powers. Thaumaturge (supposedly) emphasizes damage and features storm powers with a mix of arcane and ice powers. Renegade (supposedly) emphasizes tactics and utility and uses many arcane powers. To date, I…
Your buffs would be equally potent, yes. However, your heals would not be as strong as someone who is pouring points into Wisdom, though you could heal more frequently.
Wisdom boosts healing and damage. So, in your example, your power would be increased by both wisdom and your buff. Said another way, wisdom doesn't buff your buff. It just acts as a separate buff.
I was in this party. We fought through Whispering Caverns (Level 59+ mobs) and at the end of the zone was a shimmering portal which we could not enter. Above the portal, high in the sky was this city of cubes that you see in the screenshot. Perhaps that is the fabled Gauntlgrym?
It's very hard to measure this objectively, since I've seen a rogue beaten in damage by a cleric and a rogue with more damage than the rest of the party combined. Player skill drives DPS far more than what build they chose. In fact, it's even unclear which of the three paragon paths should yield the best DPS results. Most…
Neverwinter. Promise, possibility. Romance, tragedy, comedy. Haven, refuge, home. Origin for adventure, destination for the weary. Paradise for the pursued, prison for the pernicious. Birthplace of legend, resting place of history. Saga of its peoples, myth in distant lands. Jewel in the North never cracked, never chipped,…
Worded so much more clearly than I could have done myself, thank you! :) In an action MMO such as NW, I (personally) cannot imagine that sitting in one spot eating damage from every source is a positive thing. For one, the cleric is not going to be particularly pleased with having to spend all his healing resources on one…
It's clear that you hold very strongly to your belief that the GWF is nothing but an inferior version of the Guardian Fighter. With respect, if your mind is made up, then I applaud the tenacity of your opinion.
And I think your strategy will pay rich dividends once you find people to run with who are less concerned with convention/tradition and more concerned with what you actually bring to the team. If you find any good strategies, please share with us on this thread! With all the variety of groups and playing styles out there,…
