In fact, if this would be authentic D&D 4 ... a DC could wield a hammer as a BC (battle cleric) could wield a symbol. In fact, if this would be authentic D&D at all, any cleric who not use a symbol of their deity would not be able to cast any spell. In fact, if this would be authentic Forgotten Realms, any cleric would at…
Just played the quest and found it in total quite exceptional. However, some constructive critism from a D&D player: Most goblins are not very intelligent, but malicious and sneaky. Even though considering you speak with a clan chief and a shaman, the language was imho too highbrow. I would suggest to make the goblins…
There are 4 roles in D&D 4: Leader, tank, controller, striker. There are currently 5 classes and 5 slots form a full group. Even with 5 classes you already have people complaining that they are unwanted in groups. Some class roles are more important then other showing a need of balance ... not even takking about PvP. Now…
First, Cryptic need to equalizing builds and stats for classes in PvE and PvP. Currently, for some classes, if you want to to PvP sucessfully, you need to follow a specific build and use specific gear. This limits the hybid play of PvE and PvP and force split the community into two seperate camps. This is bad - very bad.…
You forgot to mention the most important thing: If you are in a PUG and are going to meet a premade, just leave the match. There is no penelaty for doing so and fighting most premades is just no fun at all in a PUG. This rule apply to all opposng groups if you are a support specced cleric in a PUG, because you will only…
The Neverwinter Nights series is based on the Pen&Paper Forgotten Realm Setting that use the D&D rules. Neverwinter Nights series is based on the D&D rule setting 3.5, but only covers a small percentage of the rule books available and also do not implement all core rules of D&D. Authentic D&D gameplay (which is strategic…
Nothing very special, beside male dwarf ... At least he looks like a dwarven cleric of Moradin should feel like ... a battle proven bulkwark ... wish that would be true in terms of survivability :-) Gloindal Grimaxe Dwarven Cleric of Moradin Quote: "Mind your manners ... or I'm going to Astral Shield you to death!"
/signed As far as I know, 2x blue astrasl shields don't stack. I don't know how it is with hallowed ground or divine armor, but I think there same rule apply too. So, the reason why it is so difficult to kill 2 DCs is because the DCs can cross heal each other without 66% reduction if self heal. You can also score well as…
This would be even true if RS would work. It only add 15% of the damage from crits as heal. It don't allow you to switch damage migration spells like AS or BoH.
DC can dish out some nice damage. However, any well equipped class with right spec can dish out nice damage. Dealing damage is not unique and dealing damage alone is not even competetive in group play. Other classes can dish out damage while providing utility at the same time, e.g. in form of control powers. However,…
Why I should cry about it, I can simply buy it - as everyone can do - for less AD then one of my character makes daily by using leadership. In fact, I profit from using it. I only point out that it is unbalanced from the point of logic of gear development - and that's even only my opinion. I don't force anyone agreeing…
Its actually very simple. It's not my fault you cannot follow even simplest logic. But let me formulate it again for you in a apperently for you more appropriate dialect you might be able to understand: Rank of equipment in PvP and even PvE for some classes (not for all!!!111oneone): PvP gear ~ T1 gear < T2 gear < blue reg…
No, why I should waste my time doing so? Since the queue is random .. it's quite boring to stamp random groups ... however, some "premade players" apperently can find some satisfaction in it. I have played premade vs premade e.g. in DAoC. That was quite fun because it was open PvP and you know where you could find…
I invested time to get best armor set in game? Why anyone should if he can get equal or partly better gear for less then 10 K AD in AH? It would be like epic mounts you buy for Zen being more slow then the 5 G horse - but instead they can glow fancy.
Did you actually read my post? I don't complain that I can't kill someone. I don't complain that some killed me. I complain that purple T2 armor is much less effective in terms of survivability then blue reg armor that drops countless like rain. If there would be reg enchants, there wouldn't be any problem, because you…
You don't need much experience to play Neverwinter PvP, because PvP in Neverwinter is quite easy. The most difficult part is to go to the forums and get the most effective build, then work toward it and hope it is not nerfed until you accomplished. And if you think you need a special skill to compete, you seem to be a bad…
No. I play a support cleric so I get pwned in PvP anyway, but it is a matter of time how long it takes. I found out that this time is prolonged by factor 2 if I wear blue set of armor of the youth instead of my T2 miracle healer set, which took me alot of more effort than buying the armor set of youth for below 10 K AD in…
A critical lashing blade (my rogue has 50% crit chance at 9.6 K GS) after wicked reminder from stealth can hit for more damage then a simple lashing blade from stealth, escpacially considering the fact that the rogue debuffs increase the damage of all other damage dealers. PS: Ok, now I bought a full set of youth, removed…
First. You need to count in that every player knowing how to equip will have at least 15% armor penetretation for PvE reasons. Players with BiS will most likely have more, because in PvP armor penetration scales much better then power - and we need to view BiS player here, because you already look at BiS clerics. So your…
First of all, 40% sound much, but isn't. 40% more damage on a rogue or wizard or any fighter ... that would be very noticeable and quite overpowered. However, 40% more healing on a cleric? Not so much. The reason is heals have much lower values compared to damage powers. This means 40% in absolute numbers is quite low,…
Wrong, AP helps nothing, because it is bugged with 90% of all cleric powers. Power don't help because it scales very slow. DC is currently the weakst class of all, no fix in sight. Save your time and either play a rogue or even better a wizard.
The problem in PvP is, there is simply no counter for damage dealers beside throwing the T2 armor and jewelry into trash and equipping with blue reg/def/hp gear ... However, there is such a simple solution for all these problems. ALLOW CLERICS TO PROTECT THEIR GROUP BETTER
Where are my skills to boost the group's moral, if I may ask? I only got some minor heals and mediocre damage migration buffs. There are actually only a few skills that buff the group but they are either daily or need divinity. Summary: epic fail I have one knockback that require divinity in addition to a very basic root…
I find the PvE and PvP balance of all classes very poor. And this even though real DnD 4 is quite balanced between classes, cryptic's "translation" is quite bad. Escpacially the cleric class lacks virtually everything of the essentials of the cleric in DnD 4.
Speaking as a full support cleric with 12+ K GS and miracle healer set ... as good support cleric healing is around 1/4 of the damage that is done by an average damage dealer and maybe 1/6 of a very good damage dealer. Your healing/damage migration only works because the most amount of damage is already somehow fend off of…
You are right. The only problem is, I don't need Neverwinter to play DnD with friends. I have alot of options (free shards, coop mode of single player games, or just lfg in a PnP forum and meet for "real" DnD with a game master) that give me more variety then endless grind against stupid KI NPCs. The only reason for me to…
