I'm infected with Doublestep Syndrome (Down's for short) and now want a Spellslinger despite Trigger Fingers costing 4 months of subscription time since I just know Warriors's DPS is going to get overnerfed because these are the classic WoW designers and their tanking will suck til next year at the earliest and  .fake e: And also

At Level 50, Challenges become a lot more worthwhile. In fact, if you want to get any crafting done, you're probably going to grind Challenges. Rewards in Illium scale to your level, so they're all easy Level 50 Crafting rewards. Notable bonuses include: Free Eldan Elemental Signs Infused Bones (go for 6 gold on the market each because for some dumb reason Outfitter is the only armour-craft profession that can't craft their secondary requirement) A whole lot of other poo poo you probably won't use

When I have quest to kill 10 spiders and gather 20 units of wood. I don't want a challenge to kill 40 spiders that gives me no time to gather wood and in an area that may very well not even have 40 spiders in total if someone else had been there recently.

If you're having trouble with Attuning your Genesis key in Wilderrun on Guardian Pyralos, have a settler put down the highest tier campfire and stand next to it while he throws his insane circle things that you can't dodge because they cover the entire platform. It heals for 10k a tick and will keep you alive even through three stacks of that massive thing and fighting the guardian does not put you in combat!

To go back to this a few pages ago:CLAMBO! posted:So what's everyone using for Engineer PvE dps now that bolt caster got nerfed, and is there a Elitist Jerks equivilent for wildstar yet?     To get the highly damaging Tier 8 in Bolt Caster, I have to spend 5 points that I could have invested elsewhere. I tend not to run Electrocute Tier 8 for the same reason. I can pump Artillery Bot up to Tier 7 and Energy Auger to Tier 3 for the same cost. Granted, with max ability points, this is somewhat less of a concern, and I could get an additional 52 damage off of Electrocute in addition to that conditional periodic damage. Now, you'll notice both 3 hits of a single Bolt Caster and a single hit from Bio Shell are less than 3 ticks of Electrocute. When a target loses its shields, you get a little buff to damage (142 per hit). In practice, there's roughly a 1.5s delay in being able to cast Bio Shell or recast Bolt Caster due to the global cooldown timer, so you can get in 3 ticks of Electrocute in that time frame. Mid-rotation ends up being (with all hits connecting and assuming volatility up through abilities/amps): Bio Shell (GCD) Bolt Caster (GCD, -1.5s) Bolt Caster (GCD, -1.5s) Bolt Caster (GCD, -1.5s), repeat. Hitting an unshielded target, that's 16,466 base damage over ~6s. Meanwhile, two channels of Electrocute is 15,840 base damage over ~6s. Yes, it's slightly higher (but almost entirely single-target) damage. This discounts the Tier 7 Artillery Bot damage over time and Tier 3 Energy Auger initial, of course. If I had Tier 8 in Electrocute, it would be 16,464 base damage from Electrocute alone. e: p.s. if ya'll don't know this, the Tier level upgrade stats are terrible lies. Ex: it says +39/tick upgrade to Electrocute from Tier 7 to Tier 8, but it's actually +52. Evil_Greven fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Jun 19, 2014 |

TheDK posted:gently caress challenges! I cancel them immediately, unless I volunteer for them on a housing plot. Really? I love challenges, level appropriate blue gear/amps/crafting stuff? A loving endtable that matches my drapes? Sign me the gently caress up! Now a few challenges are bullshit, but "Kill xyz" or "Collect things off ground" can generally be cracked out in a matter of minutes. It's not really slowing my leveling down much, because I'm still killing poo poo.

Most of them are worth to at least bronze medal in whatever 30 to 90 seconds that takes. That said, running into a challenge in the middle of doing a completely unrelated quest isn't the greatest thing, and gets me off my groove when leveling a dude

Sometimes the game feels like a challenge minefield. You can't even touch a jukebox or a bottle on a table without spawning the "tap the most jukeboxes in the shortest time" or "gather bottles" challenge. Heck I was out in the middle of the woods and I touched a lightbulb and I ended up started the "light as many lightbulbs as you can" challenge. Can we get some interactive environment that isn't a challenge? Like where touching a jukebox just changes the ambience music for the room or touching a bottle makes you take a swig.

I've 100% each zone as much as I can (there are some bugs on number of Tales etc  ) and plan on going through each of the challenges. It's easier to complete them when you're several levels above the critters in the way.

Challenges own and I do them all the time. Gathering items from the ground/enemies ones are usually super fast and you get rep and xp and loot. If the blue isn't something I want to gamble on, I take decor. If there's no decor, I take the crafting mats. The only ones I cancel are things like that loving red light green light one in wilderrun or when it's obvious I'm not going to kill 50 pell in 4 minutes or whatever. Even then there's no reason not to just let them run out of time naturally. If you stumble into a bronze or silver, why not take the free poo poo? e: also what the gently caress hobo train. It's incredibly offensive and hilarious at the same time and who ok'd that?

Stalker is a great class that will make a lovely alt. But, in the long run, and Granok eyebrow clipping issues aside, the Sawbones is kind of the best class in this game, thematically.

FunkyFlashman posted:Challenges could be fun as gently caress and rewarding as hell. Instead they are neither. I don't know, it seems like you could farm out a full set of basic L50 blue gear in a couple of days of challenge rotations, and any items that sucked would be magically turned into gold. If you do a challenge loop you could probably get as much crafting stuff from challenges as you do actively hunting for nodes. At level 46 I've made a plat just off of amp drops from malgrave (No trigger fingers unfortunately). EDIT: Maybe I'm just looking at the bright side, but in most games I leveled in garbage quality gear, meanwhile in this one I'm covered in challenge blues/dungeon blues. The only change I'd make to the system is probably make them easier to track, maybe hover over them with a challenge icon when I'm about to do something that starts one, rather than ambush me with it.

Instead they are neither. gently caress all this 100% optional loot/xp/AND money rewarding content that exists solely as 100% optional content! I definitely enjoy the bunches of challenges I've found. There's a lot of "kill x number of y in z seconds" but there are also races, tracking stuff down, etc. I enjoy it. It's something to do besides just bash my head against the questing.

bearing in mind that my highest level character is my level 14 medic and i have virtually no goddamn idea about endgame (or, quite frankly, anything above level 14), based on what i've heard about medic interrupts... let's say, theoretically, T4 paralytic surge removed two stacks of armor instead of T8. Would medics be better then? What if innate reset the cooldown? Is bursting down four stacks too much?

I'm not saying "I refuse to play medics unless they fix this", quite frankly it's more fun to not have many interrupts since it means I need to move more. I'm just asking what would bring them up to par with other classes because I don't actually know.

It's not really just the number of stacks it removes, it's more that medic just has the one single interrupt cooldown that needs a big points investment to be just okay while other classes have multiple options for cheap

Thumbtacks posted:bearing in mind that my highest level character is my level 14 medic and i have virtually no goddamn idea about endgame (or, quite frankly, anything above level 14), based on what i've heard about medic interrupts... For soloing, this would bear no difference to the current state of things, as all mobs you'll run into in world PvE either have zero or two points of interrupt armor. At zero, you'll punch through it, at two, you never will. In raid PvE, it would do very little because nobody wants you to be a DPS medic, your DPS will kind of suck butt anyway. Your damage just scales poorly. That said, anything people are complaining about when it comes to medic DPS is concerning endgame gameplay. You can be a sperg powergamer getting a decent 1-50 solo leveling time with your AoE leveling spec. I don't think medics' issue is how they have poo poo for interrupts (which they do), it's how their only interrupt is really bad, one of the worst, and how their damage skills don't scale that well. e: sorry, missed the last two sentences. Getting rid of four stacks of IA might be a big deal situationally, but I don't think it would make being a DPS medic a very attractive idea just yet. Going with your idea, I don't think it makes much sense to earmark medic's innate ability to buff up a singular ability that is kind of poo poo without it. It should just be better without it, period. Ihki fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Jun 19, 2014 |

The only class that can "easily" remove 4-5 stacks without seriously hamstringing their dps is Warrior which is getting looked at, though. Interrupts were supposed to be group syncing up one interrupt, not all dps being able to do it on their own.
