I would kindly ask a moderator to lock this thread. It seems to have degenerated into another flame fest. This is why we cannot have nice things!
-
That sounds great as well! I wish you the best of luck with your efforts. No I am serious, not trying to be sarcastic. If you have the financial needs covered to do this then the best of luck to you!

Cryptic has stayed true to the 4e formula where a Wizards role is a Controller. Allow me to quote directly from the 4th edition PHB; That being said, yes, wizards can do quite a bit of damage in PnP because it is much easier to just adapt the rules to what you prefer as a DM. Also, you get more choice over what at-wills,…

OP, sorry to hear that you feel this way but like vomk mentioned, making AD is quite easily done if you put a bit of time into it. This can later be exchanged for Zen to purchase the respec tokens. So no real money is ever required on your part. Buying the respec tokens using real money is merely a convenience but not a…

I can also confirm this. Until it is fixed it is horribly broken and needs some attention before we can return to wanting to go tanky. This is still something I aim for once these issues have been resolved.
-
I am very much different in that regard. I don't care about "meters". I care about getting the group out in one piece. The "meters" do not measure when I go to help that Cleric who is getting swarmed. It does not take into account the debuffs I apply or the CC or even the number of times I have brought back to life the…

Of course it is an excellent way to add new content. I still love making it is more my point.
-
Not sure why people are so upset that they believe the Foundry to be there because Cryptic is "lazy" and we do the content for them. For me creating my own adventures and stories is a reward in itself. If you do not like the idea does not mean everyone else dislikes it too. I will be spending countless hours in there…

No idea why people keep complaining regarding the GWF. I loved it in alpha, beta and even now as well! I have no problems in PVP or in PVE. Of course, there are always people better than yourself in PVP that will kick your *** but you either learn from it and get better or you don't.
-
I'd say likewise but it 's probably a waste of effort.
-
Exactly! No need for"[/sarcasm] " then. Each to his own. I RP, I PVP, I PVE. The "[/sarcasm]" Helps NOTHING at all. I agree the class could use a bit of fixing early levels but the small-minded act needs to be dropped.
-
Exactly. All the sarcasm you desire. Because I got loads of that currency. I do understand the want for competition and the feel that you have contributed to the group. But hopefully they will fix the issues that are circulating around the GWF.
-
And that is ALWAYS how you should view it. Any others are too busy stroking their ego.
-
I pretty much agree with what espethtirelnw said. There is the possibility of the GWF of being a defender purely. But they need to address quite a few issues before this comes to function properly.
-
They didn't "kill" the class as much as many people would like to believe. At high levels which the game is ultimately balanced around (like most MMO these days.) The GWF could use some sort of damage normalization however at lower levels. We don't need much but it can help in the long run to keep the GWF population…
-
I'm not sure how you built your GWF but I have managed to survive just fine. I didn't need to grab 99 potions like you mentioned you did. Perhaps share what Feat choices you went as well as items?
-
I took a somewhat similar route as Argantis but in the Paragon feats I went heavy into Sentinel. I also picked up 5 points in the first Tier of the Instigator (Unstoppable Recovery) When soloing I never went down once, sure enough my damage was not as high but I simply outlasted whatever was thrown at me. It felt…
-
I'm not much for petitions.
-
I am still managing just fine despite the changes. The only thing that has been bothering me however is the fact that Punishing Charge is quite late level.
-
I myself find the change to Punishing Charge a very odd move to have it at such a high level. The rest I can deal with. The GWF is still my main class for sure. I'm not to let anything such a nerf to prevent me from playing the class I favour.
-
While Neverwinter Online is not fully a 4th edition direct translation I feel the need to speak up here as well. This is not to be misconstrued as me tooting my own horn in any sense of the way I am in the alpha and as such I have been able to try out quite a few things. Sadly the NDA prevents me from saying much but I can…
-
I am trying to read your post but it is quite difficult with all the unnecessary symbols. You could just use the quotation to make it easier to read. I did manage to read what you wrote however and I have yet to see much argument to defend your statements. It's just you basically saying that X is not true therefore you are…
-
They are not strikers. Referring to Argantis post is a great description of what the GWF actually is but it is not a striker. I would add more but I see no need as Argantis did a mighty good job of it.
-
Indeed! I still believe it can be done! But yet again, I am not trying to replace the GF in any way. Just trying to think outside the box and breaking the very solid boundaries people have set for the classes.
-
Just to keep things rolling I would like to state that I will continue the work on acting as a tank with the Great Weapon Fighter and continually try to improve a build that is suitable for the task. I will post guides on here in written form as well as have youtube videos up and running once the game has been live for a…
-
I am loving this idea! I for one would welcome anything that breaks the mold of the very firmly dug in "holy trinity". While the GF is a very "tanky" class by it's very nature of skillsets it is always refreshing to be able to think outside the box. I also appreciate the irony of the title, I am not completely without a…
-
Oh Indeed. I never said that I'd want to "compete" with the GF. People only jump to hasty conclusions. If I end up in a group with a GF I sure as heck won't try and demand his spotlight as the main tank. People should just try to calm down and realize that we actually refer to the GWF being more of a defender than a…
-
Considering it was never anything competetive versus the two. People seem to have twisted the original thread as such which is a shame.
-
I repeated nothing that he said. You must be getting things mixed up somewhere in there. I still aim to be main tanking if the possibility is there. But I am fully aware that I can never compete with a GF. That was never what this thread was about as the OP stated. But somehow seem to skew the entire post into a GWFvsGF…
-
I won't be on yer team either way. Never have I said the GWF will equal the GF in "tankiness" but I did say with the right amount of know how and skill, a GWF can pull off main tanking if no GF is available. There is no guesswork on my part, I am part of the alpha testers but sadly I cannot reveal much info regarding that.…
