Bug: Feat: Name
Power did not seem to do anything, audio and hit reacts were also missing. (screenshot)
Feedback: Power: Name
Power was fun to use, but could be even better if it also did this other thing.
Thanks for your help and feedback!
The Iron Vanguard Paragon Powers are ....
• Encounter Power – Frontline Surge:
o You Knock back your enemies, sending them Prone, allowing you and your allies to seize new ground.
• Atwill Power – Threatening Rush:
o Rush to target and slam into them with a painful looking attack. Your target and those around it are temporarily Marked.
• Daily Power – Indomitable Strike:
o Pummel your target with two attacks, Knocking them away and leaving them Prone.
• Class Feature – Ferocious Reaction:
o When your Hit Points drop below a set percentage, you regain a set percentage of your Hit Points, the foe that hit you takes that much damage, and you gain a Damage Resistance buff for 5 seconds. Once every set amount of time.
• Class Feature – Trample the Fallen:
o When a foe is affected by control powers, you deal a set percentage more damage to it.
• Class Feature – Enduring Warrior:
o When you kill an enemy, you regain Hit Points equal to a set percentage of your max Hit Points.
• Feat – Reinforced Surge:
o Frontline Surge now leaves targets Prone for an additional amount of time.
• Feat – Improved Reaction:
o Ferocious Reaction Heals you for an additional percentage of your max Hit Points.
• Feat – Battle Trample:
o When Trample the Fallen would cause you to deal more damage, you also gain a set percentage of your weapon damage in threat and deal a percentage of your weapon damage as Physical Damage.
FRONTLINE SURGE & INDOMITABLE STRIKE
________________
Absolutely not. GWF's are ecstatic on Preview because they are unkillable in PvP...ABSOLUTELY UNKILLABLE , Adding in Soulforge changes turns this into a laughing stock....
NOONE WILL PVP
if this goes Live the amount of QQ that will flood the forums will make the TR nerf cries seem like a puddle ...
frontline surge dose 2.5 times better damage then any other gwfs aoe encounter and since changes on roar it is only aoe which charge ap
In that case, my DC would like ITC and Impact shot.
On 3 targets. And it has 20 second cooldown. And you're forfeiting your best at-will power for it.
No.
cool with the new boons.. so much regeneration
[Indomitable Strike] faster than [Crusendo];
[Threatening Rush] better than [WMS].
Thx for the [Deep Gash] update; now it's useful skill.
Dead🔪Wicked strike is getting increased dmg and awesome debuff, might switch wms for it.
Also threating rush + feat +15%more dmg to marked targets sounds awesome.
I'm agreeing with this. Trample the fallen is the only reason I will change my GWF from Destroyer to Sentinel. Then there are two skills now that heal so with a regen crit deflect build + unstoppable I think the GWF will be a very nice off tank as long as the DC know how to heal properly. The GWF tank lesser mobs inside Astral shield w/ CW dealing support damage. While the GF tanks heavy monsters with either a TR or hunter support damage.
However, I also think Frontline Surge needs to hit more targets. Currently the only thing is has going for it is the AP gain...
I can certainly see the problems this could pose in PvP but the potential gain for PvE is great. I know how effective the Iron Vanguard Powers are in PvE on my GF and it'll be great to be able to make a less glass connonny GWF for PvE with the powers and feats.
I'm really looking forward to having Threatening Rush, Frontline Surge and Trample of Fallen.
However changing frontline surge to be less of a shield based animation would be awesome!
Nop they wont for several reasons.
They dont like being focused, they want to kill from hide by pushing 1 botton and then go into hide again.
They dont like to work hard when playing and even if you can argue about *hard work when it comes to pvp in NW its alot more hard work playing gwf then tr.
They are chainging recovery and tr big hits abilitys will pop faster making them even more burn dps.
If you played or follow the new ranger class you know that its going to get alot of new players.
If you like to run around as a tank soaking up dam dieing for the team alone in enimy base making your team win becouse it takes 2-4 to kill you, gwf is the class for you. And my guess is that pretty much the same players that playes it now will do so after + maby a few more. But am also guessing some that are playing it now will change to ranger so in the end well you wont see alot more gwfs running around.
(as a side note if some changes go live am pretty sure quite a few will change from pvp to pve builds those making them easer to kill).
But before things go live with new artifacts, items, pet system etc etc all we can do is guess .......
nothing useful comes with swordmasters for the guardians
Bug: Power: Threatening Rush
Power doesn't get attack speed bonus from Unstoppable.
Feedback: Power: Frontline Surge, Threatening Rush
Change animations please, now they look completely stupid.
Well, I would like to talk about three feats that at first seem to "purposeless" destroyer .
But as we know , the roar was our ap generator , so it was justifiable you decrease the cooldown with Relentless Battle Fury to use Battle Awareness to acquire 25 % of power .
Currently , in an attempt to reverse this problem without changing pvp , there was a change in the Executioner 's style, but that is insufficient to justify the battle awareness (after all , it is still passive severe circumstances , + the combination of a Atwill / encounter ) besides reducing potential of reaping strike - passively improved - which makes the feat expendable , admitting that the purpose of the destroyer is massive damage .
Herein are dispensable 3 feats that , in principle, affect only the swordmaster . The result , in the short and medium term is the trivialization of the destroyer and the creation of " hybrid " that cause so many problems in pvp .
My suggestion may seem absurd at first , but I think Battle Awareness could additionally enhance the generation ap the Executioner 's Style since the slam was active . Such changes would be harmless to pvp besides providing a " destroyer 100 % " a difference in terms of damage .
If you can not , the feat could further decrease the penalty damage reaping strike unstoppable when or increase by 1 the number of targets hit, or even reverse the last change since the dailys class not justified .
here is not the appropriate place for this kind of suggestion, sorry. Not going to happen. anyway, is the only suggestion I have, and it can be based on an error of perception.
Gwf is nice now but not unkillable can deal lot of dmg but realy hurt her survive ability. 2 vs 1 dead y are dead.(rank 10 enchant's End game gear p.vorpal no matter "sent"tested)
In Pve awsome (great DMG nice aoe too and faster daly) but i can't test her threat rate because nobody want to go in any insta, all want to try out ranger
Bug: Bravery not apply running speed give 0%
Summary : Nice job Devs!! Cool the new pet & artifact system.Grat
Slam cannot score crits like other Dailies in the game
On GWF improvements I noticed you missed one that both CW and DC got fixed. Proper crits on Daily powers.
Flame strike and Arcane Singularity can now Crit but Slam still cannot crit.
We all had to face the slam nerf that "put it in line" with other powers damage scale. And all other powers can crit so please fix this bug.
deep gash cant critic
slam cant critic
if u made cws dps to can critic then should ours to
If you are intending on giving GWF the ability to spec as tanks, it will largely be useless unless their threat is tweaked.
