So panderus , is this the final build that will go live tomorrow or should we expect more changes to be added?
Also the final version of storm spell is activation chance increased 20% and damage increased roughly 100% no longer incorrectly triggers off chill stacks?
Well, I don't know lot of things about CW, but he seemed already ... godlike.
About DR debuffes, why ? DR is buggued and does not reduces the correct amount of damages when the DR is high. With G.Plague Fire, a full Unstoppable GWF will have around ... 0% DR xD.
Awesome , thanks , can't wait .
Yeah with how it's set up here, it really doesn't make sense for it not to be con. I wish we had a point allocation system rather than random rolls.
What about new artifacts weapons/belts? Can we choose or is it random ?
I feel like it's kinda misplaced too... even because Constitution gives a lot more interesting bonuses.
Second non-dev post in this thread and there´s already a GWF whining....
I´m all ready to play the new Mod. Keep up the good work guys!

I'm not whining at all, just saying CW will have now really good DR debuffes
What are tier 3 profession resources? Rare (Blue)?
Does this affect enemies or Profession nodes as well?
Will Purple Profession Resources have a chance of dropping, considering you are making Dragon Eggs a component of non-rare profession tasks contrary to their tooltip?
Or is that just a little visual mistake which might lead to wrong conclusions?
I'm pretty sure it means you will only get, for example, Exotic pelts and leather off lvl 45+ mobs, rather than getting a chance for Tough pelts/leather.
The three tiers are simple/tough/exotic leather for leatherworking, wool/cotton/shimmerweave cloth for tailoring, etc.
That is correct.
Charisma was primary for warlock in D&D 3 and prably is still at 4 and 5. Thing is that this char also effected such stuff as diplomacy, trade, and I think in some way also illusion skills from Warlock. But since we don't have any of thoose in this game.. Makes a lot of sence) Like HR changes in this patch.
@panderus maybe you as produces can explain us why HR got in this state of "love" please?
Sure you can do it. But you have to dart in and out, not get surrounded, and in general play like an aoe rogue and avoid the big hits and groups of mobs rather than actually you know being a fighter and tanking them while dealing good cleaving damage.
Destroyer survivability overall is better than mod3 given that Sprint grants DR as well as CC immunity, which is perfect for Unstoppable downtimes. You also sprint 80% longer than before (40% stam consumption reduction).
If you really want to stand still in DPS spec, you can stack more Lifesteal(with Endless Consumption), stack more Defense (3-4k, armor spec feat) or bring a DC along.
I have always been fine with the slow, but it literally pulls us out of block... so you ray of frost, in about 1-2 seconds, we get pulled outa block, you repel, then your storm spell or assailing kills us, 1-2 rotations of that, and it is GG. If the guardian is back... it's just MEGA GG lol
Silly Boy it went from being Int to Cha not from Con to Cha TBH Con should be the primary stats sense having High High hp is staple in temptation builds plus the dmg bonus Con gives and the fact Charisma is currently broken and not giving the full combat advantage bonus it should be.

Why? GWF is not a standing tank. That's the GF. GWF is the barbarian, and that class is usually an high mobility one charging ffrom one foe to the next one. You got used to play it like a sort of immovable/invulnerable meatgrinder but that's not how it is supposed to be.
