seyfertarte, if anyone cares about GF and class balance, he ought to compare GF with the most OP class. You make some points I don't necessarily disagree with, but as I've said earlier in the thread, they have to massively nerf CW damage and/or cc potential and to a bit lesser degree GWF damage for GF to possibly be on the…
There's not enough gold sinks in this game. It used to be a 1 gold:1K AD ratio, but now 2.5 gold:1K AD ratio. If they made a class respec for GF to become another class with gold, gold would have strong value.
Those numbers don't take into consideration that there's always variations in DPS charts, even when using the same exact gear. If a CW decides to use a few more oppressive forces instead of singularity, his own damage will go up by a few hundred thousand while other people's damage go down. 2500 power should give about 10%…
Sometimes RNG code is messed up. And cryptic is king of messed up code. And it's not out of the question they ninja nerfed odds without changing the visible %, just like they ninja-nerf tarmalune droprate from boxes.
There's some powers that cause debuffs to be reflected back to the user. What powers are you using where you notice this? Answering won't help get the bug fixed because the bug report forum is bugged and cryptic employees aren't allowed to read it, but at least you can help other players avoid using the buggy powers.
My pig happily oinked when summoned until recent patches. I use pig when I am in group with a guardian fighter or hunter ranger who says they are good dps. My pig usually does more damage than them.
Comparison is important because the problem is you won't ever find a GF or HR picked over a CW all other things considered equal in end game dungeons. CW and GF being different doesn't make comparison pointless, except maybe in your mind. I've never said classes aren't viable at low gs, I always mention "end game dungeons"…
You are wrong when you say "they are all good when feated". It's such a wrong statement I'm just going to leave it at that. And GF do not have "almost all the abilities of a GWF except sprint". They have swordmaster and iron vanguard abilities that do less than 40% of the damage of the GWF versions because the people who…
I know what the different classes can bring to a dungeon, including what debuffs they have, so I am not forgetting anything, you are just making stuff up as usual to slander me with. I explained quite thoroughly in this thread how GF buffs and debuffs are worse than DC's when the OP said that DC and GF are buffers. If you…
Most dungeon teams have 2-4 cw's, and even 2 cw cn's are quite uncommon. It's not just me who thinks CW is the strongest class in the game, it is the opinion of the vast majority of players who have reached end game content, which you have admitted you have never done. The classes in this game are not all good at what they…
Is that supposed to be some kind of rational argument in your mind? People should listen to me because what I'm saying is factual, and they would be much happier not playing inferior classes that are just AD blackholes.
They don't know ****. I've been posting on preview for a long time about the problems and the solutions for gf imbalance, and they just delete my threads and not even have the decency to send them to the lower depths for posterity. I'll tell you right now, no amount of buffs will make gf viable. The only way for gf, tr,…
That is correct damanhur89. They have to nerf cw and gwf damage by about 50% for the other classes to be on the same level. Trying to play HR, GF, and TR right now is just going to lead to frustration at end game.
Just this morning I did a 4 cw and 1 gwf cn 4/4 run, and they were not very well-equipped, about 13-14k gs players with normal vorpal/terror, and a lot of times the mobs didn't hit anyone after the initial 3 seconds of starting combat from the 4 simultaneous steal times and frontline surge spam and would almost always be…
My CW doesn't need a tank to cast spells better because this game allows you to jump, move, and cast while falling, thereby evading many attacks while at the same time using encounters very efficiently. It is actually preferable for all of the aggro to be on the cw if possible because the mobs running towards the cw can…
The problem is, cw's and gwf's are so overpowered there is almost no need for hr, gf, or tr. Before mod 2, gf's were maybe a bit preferable to gwf, after mod 2, cryptic accidentally almost doubled GWF damage output by letting an elementary school kid write the formula for the modified deep gash feat, and also fixed arpen…
Most CW's are built for high dps, because that's what works in most pve groups even at end game. The only exception is if you are doing a DCless team, or during certain fights such as dracolich or valindra. If a group wanted survivability, they don't get a GF, they put on defensive jewelry that altogether would cost <100K…
