  • Honest to God, if something isn't done about the education system in America, I'm moving to Canada. Is this what passes as literacy these days?
  • Try not to use words when you don't understand what they mean or how and when to use them. Strict is not a verb. also, not to be the grammar police, but no one is going to take anything you have to say seriously when you type things like "you will lost main playerbase." While I agree with a couple of your points, your…
  • Magnus (the CW) here. Brought Entangling force on spell mastery, shield, steal time, ray of enfeeblement. Fight is pretty simple. Keep RoE on the boss, and save steal times and oppressive force for when the astral shield is not up. Use shield burst only to knock adds out of red circles - using it to try to get a temporary…
  • Incorrect. Each fusion is an independent event with the same chance to succeed or fail. Do not confuse probability with possibility.
  • This is why a smart consumer will NEVER financially support a game prior to its launch as an official retail product. I have countless times fought off the urge to bust out my wallet and buy some zen until I could get a feel for who I was supporting. After the recent balancing patch and the proposed loot system revamp, I…
  • The only way to make a BoP system work is to have all important drops (weapons, tier armor, etc) available for purchase with dungeon tokens. Requiring that I run spellplague another 30 times for a slim chance at the t2 hat I want is, quite honestly, enough to make me lose interest in playing. Running the same dungeons time…
  • +1, shield bug is pretty game-breaking. Would like to see some update or fix soonish.
  • This is a huge problem for me. Hoping for a relatively quick fix.
  • Yeah, having terrible, strange lag yesterday. Can't even log in today. Not sure what this is, but getting a little frustrating.
  • Would like to add to this list that teleport no longer works. as in, it no longer works at all. Any damage/controlling effect now seems not only to HIT mid-teleport, but knock you OUT of teleport. Teleport no longer has a function in combat. Not sure what the issue is, but have heard of other CWs complaining about it. Many…
  • Yeah, this has been causing me no end of grief. I get hit while teleporting constantly, knocked back while teleporting, teleport 2 feet and rubberband back, etc. Its making a lot of fights (like dracholich in CN) very unfun, and is sort of souring my experience of the game.
  • Right, which is why you dont want to go much over 2200 arp, points are then better spent in power. But until that point, there is no better stat than armor pen.
  • Mobs can go negative up to their default mitigation. i.e. if ia mob's natural damage resistance is 30%, it can go to -30%, but thats largely going to be impossible given the current gear in the game and the DR curve on armor pen. Not unreasonable to expect -5% or so though, if you've got decent armor penetration and plague…
  • This is untrue. 8% reduction in mitigation is actually a significantly greater damage increase than 8%, for the same reason that an 8% increase in damage mitigation is a much greater reduction in damage taken than 8%. Consider the following. lets say, for the purposes of this example, you have an attack that hits for 1000…
  • Yes, that is the point of the cat and ioun stone. they do not fight, but in exchange, they give you a passive stat buff. The item description tells you as much.
  • Because they all proc at once, if their cooldown is off. fights in pvp happen a few seconds apart, so you frontload a ton of damage on a single enemy, then by the time you fight the next, your ICDs are off. In PvE its a more steady stream, so you're having combat time with the ICD's still ticking. Anyways, I replaced my…
  • Another quick question, Deagan. I'm having a hard time justifying the tenebrous enchants now that they have a short internal cooldown. From what I have seen, 6 greater tenebrous enchants seem to account for about 4% of total damage. That is significantly less damage than I would get from 6 armor penetration enchants (1320…
  • Generally Shadow Weaver is regarded as the best set bonus. Its buggy though and sometimes doesnt work unless you un-equip it and re-equip it. A minor gripe, but constantly doing that every time you zone gets old. A lot of people like High Vizier 4piece as well, but they don't seem to understand what it does. It makes your…
  • I don't know where you got this notion, but it seems wildly inaccurate. Do you have any data to support it?
  • Same, been having weird framerate issues. It seems to just "drop" frames, especially in certain dungeons (frozen heart) for no evident reason. My hardware tuning utility says it stays at a consistent 60fps, but frames are dropping out like crazy. It isnt my card or my drivers (using more recent WHQL drivers and a GTX680),…
  • No, it is not. This is a soft launch. If there is a functioning cash shop, the game has launched. This is not debatable. I am tired of seeing people say stuff like this. If they can take my money, they can deliver a working retail product.
  • Yep, same thing happens to me. Its a crapshoot. seems that when I hit the button to drink a potion, I have maybe a 30-40% chance of the potion being consumed and going on cooldown, and simply not healing me at all.
  • most of the 4-piece bonuses do not work. Its better to take 2 of a set and 2 of another and get the passive stat bonuses. Starting to think they should chang the name of the game to "Neverworks"
