    oh, my mistake, i took for granted it was "15% per spark".
    well, it's pretty useless.


    double post which isn't one!
    what's the most entertaining class in neverwinter? i mean, the one with most choices, most builds, most stuff to do which couldn't just be a macro or two.
    i have new two spare slots, finally, but i can't chose.
    i heard the mage and the ranger are overpowered but i'd like an armored toon to craft armors for larping reasons, but i don't want to grow bored.

    I was sure I'd written an anwer...

    Anyway, I'd say the three most entertaining classes are Wizard, Guardian Fighter (nice mixture of tanking, party support, aggro control, and most of all decent stopping power as well nowadays), and Warlock (the Wizard's younger cousin with a Stand). Ranger is a close runner-up due to the fast-paced gameplay with a revolver loadout of abilities, and Great Weapon Fighter is good for those times when on just doesn't want to give a fuck and instead just pummel things while facetanking. Wizard is my own #1 thanks to the combination of nice animations, a large selection of spells that are worth using and pack a wallop, and the virtue of being a wizard. The Wizard's overpowered aspect is more than anything down to their supreme status as the master of AoE nuke control combo. Another thing that makes other classes jelly is that Wizard uses four abilities in a loadout (their class special mechanic is that their Tab casts a fourth Encounter spell as a Spell Mastery variant, which is stronger than the normal version of said spell through special mechanics unique to each spell).

    Generally speaking I've found something entertaining about playing with each class, except maybe Cleric and Rogue due to how badly underpowered they are right now. Even if it makes me a little smug to watch the kind of damage I can dish out with the cleric's special synergies in Dragon Heroic Encounters, or outperforming random strangers with better classes as the Rogue.

    in the meantime i tried the wizard and didn't find it fun at all, feels a lot like every other standard mmorpgs "stand there and press numbers until things die", maybe he'll improve in later stages, will he?
    i want something which can be fun and can survive all the solo content actually solo, unlike my rogue who can't even stare at drows without exploding, even if less overpowered than my warlock who just disintegrates stuff.

    how long for the class revamp and new paragon paths?

    CW is true to the D&D Wizard Experience™. You should get some better gear if you have problems with the last zone.

    Next mod is planned for beginning of December I think.

    Any good wizard knows how to dodge, and Steal Time and Sudden Storm require you to get fairly up close and personal.

    Also, the next module will have the class revamp for Cleric and Rogue, and a new paragon path for Warlock that was mentioned earlier.

    for me most fun right now is warlock instanuketrashmobsITZheavan
    close second goes to fire wizard bcoz it simply looks cool nukin in style ...

    then all my gwf's as its simply press attack and watch stuffies die ...
    rest is tedious without sirious bling [gf is betah but still hurts in solo dps and requires nice weapon enchant there - altho it stopped sucking balls thats a plus]

    but with max lvl 6 enchants for economy reasons geting top rated gear for ur char is priority

    How can you not adore the goodness called Hunter Ranger? Prepare your battlefield and watch enemies die while shifting around like ghost! Okay, if they surprise you it's time to make a JoJo... but you'll be back!

    There's also 2 new boons and the final boons now have 3 ranks. And each requires a book.

    Well that really means that I'll be doing that stuff solely for the XP, I'm not in a particular hurry to get the books unless they drop into 100k range on AH.

    but i want a better, actually useful companion. i'm sick of the healer, i can't stand him anymore. the skeleton and the scarecrow looked interesting larping-wise too, but 600 mobs chased in 4 days... no way.

    I assume you are talking about the new male cleric? Can't stand that annoying prick. Thankfully I still have Sister Miriam on all of my chars except the Whorelock.
    That said, all companions are equally useless, aside from the cleric's occasional heal. At lower levels my archer companion did help me, but after only a short while everything dies far too quick for them to matter. As Aarne said: buy a hairy pussy or the annoying glowing bug that flies around your head (ioun stone) to augment your existing stats and just gulp the occasional tasty poshun for healing goodness.
    A nice side effect with augment companions: they don't pull adds from running around like a headless chicken. I am looking at you Miriam! :argh:

    Incidentally, Crush has said that they don't like how Lifesteal is nowadays, and are going to eventually do something about it once they figure out a way that doesn't throw everything into chaos.

    Also, Soulbinder looks a lot stronger than the first paragon path. Can't find anything on whether or not Diabolist set bonus is getting "nerfed" (this is inevitable I'd say, since I don't think it's working as intended due to proc madness).
