For the record, I as a human GF switched a thing or two around to get a bit better mileage out of my skills and powers as a tank, and with a few costly rescpec experiments found out that I'm better off going 15% increased threat instead of 3% increased critchance on my heroic feats, Conqueror capstone with plate agility…
The only viable build is you play pre-60 and make GOOD dc and cw friends in the dungeons through leveling progress who dont mind carry your useless Into The Fray bot *** through the endgame dungeons. Honestly your build doesnt even matter because youre there just for Into The Fray to refill a CW's arcane singularity so…
There you go folks, I'll just leave this here. The mad dragon fight from the eyes of the cleric and the literal ****ton of dodging they need to do to survive. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xzlcvt_neverwinter-lair-of-the-mad-dragon_videogames
So let me guess, you went the Tactician route? I had my regrets enough for it to reroll. The damage just wasnt there. Now as a human strenght based tank who focuses on cleaving the **** out of everything I can actually hold a candle to my name and maybe kill all the trash before my hp depletes too much when I pull 10+ guys…
That is pretty much exactly what my group did. Rogue tanks are op. Heres the run for prerusal from the clerics point of view: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xzlcvt_neverwinter-lair-of-the-mad-dragon_videogames Basically, rogue tanks the dragon, tank runs around like headless chicken trying to dps down anything that isnt…
A very good, economical and goddam useful way to gain temp hp is Into The Fray. Get it to rank 3 and with griffon strike/Knights Challenge you have some solid and awesome singletarget dps, also the ability to enjoy temp hp on demand in at max 15 second cooldown. Now, imagine getting the cooldown down to 10 seconds... yeah,…
Honestly, con is as important as in previous editions - as in nice to have alot but not as needed as the ability to whack a mole efficiently. There are the expertise crowds and then there are the power attack crowds, one goes for str 15 dex 19 and con 24 and the other goes for str 22 dex 14 con 22 in the end before racial…
If one tank cant control it all, you really -really- dont need a second tank! What you want is a -controller-, preferably a wizard one at that. Let me regale you a true story, a guardian in current content is there to tank the mobs with unmovable buff who cant be chainstunned to oblivion AND to enable groupfinder to work.…
There! New character as I said, new stats and whatchamacallits. New try with a non-pick up group. Downed the dragon three times until I got bored of it! This is the first try, and admittably the one which took the longest! Enjoy, those who wanna see how dragon fight is supposed to be done. And yes, it lasts around an…
We really need to do a collaboration work, all of us who have posted helpful guardian tips and guides! One of us need to take the candle and merge all of these in to a well structured and constructed "Ultimate Guardian Guide" that we will collectively beg to be pinned for all new guardians to see. Anyone? Aaaanyone? Pve,…
Humorously, soloing is faster and more efficient when you block only when you NEED to block, elite and boss power attacks and let the minions just rip on your hp bar whilst cleaving them away. I'm getting up in levels way faster than my defensive halfling ever did! However, its a thin line of being able to finish a quest…
Alright, having long and hard pondered on this and bashed my head against lair of the mad dragon, I have began to realise my efforts at going all out defensive were squandered. I feel its upto me to pick up the slack of controllers and damage dealers if cleric gets too much aggro, as it supposedly should be, and peel those…
I find we dont need more defense and ability to survive - that is more then adequate. What we do need is tools. Different tools to supply us with more than "toss a mark, pray for gods and hold up your shield.". To that end, I'd say guardian isnt the be all end all path for pve content, wouldnt comment on pvp. I've had more…
Also I want to add - the threat generation is not broken, its just different. I manage to tank just fine when I know that my job is only hold one guy on me, occasionally accidently aoe taunt everyone on me for 2 seconds and then focus on blocking the living bejeesus out of power attacks. To that extend, the feat that gives…
