Neverwinter Forte DPS Builds May Be The Best In Neverwinter

Problem with this game is that its not intuitive to play with how gearing is.

Where does Insignia of Tranquility come from?

Are there any other new ones?

{:o:O:}

Why is Green bad when Craptrick say Green means you have reached the cap? Assuming procs will not put you over.

22 minutes isn't long.

I like stacking Forte if I can on my Cleric Healer, but have not gone so far as to prefer Companions with it. She's a Tiefling, so had her +2 in CHA and INT and she stacks WIS and CHA for Healing.

Of course, back in Mod 2, +2 on an attribute score was significant. Not anymore.

{:o:O:}

Basically what im hearing. Is gimp urself because there arnt enough people willing to grind for gold.

Festive tiger is great option for forte build but augment is a dead meta on this current module.Most ppl will pick succubus, incubus,greenscale Bowman and Regis.

I use the raptor on my barbarian because other player need that shit and that mess wt my buid because im losing 7.5 rah damage

Nice Gus

N general.i think forte can be good but not for hunter because of forte= accuracy,wich you dont need wat much, but if your forte critstrike so yes forte build can make big inpact

Sadly bow forte is trach...

It’s huge (tho as combat rework was on air i tried to do tank via forte way with “raging bull ring” and was immediately kicked from every group because of guess what? -you don’t have stats (c) but now everyone seems to really enjoy tanks with this damned needle ring and lich ability slotted) [if you are not in the tank theme - ring gives you aggro while running 1 sec and lich gives you 7,5% incoming damage resistance]
So yeah, let’s praise the % capped and raptors 😢 as must for everyone.
*I really love to see your forte and outgoing/incoming damage % builds will corrupt the system lol

You forgot about your tanks and healers... Raptors massively help them out, too.
It's especially bad for healers who heavily rely on that extra power coming from the other team members to cap their stats.
Only that way do healers afford those juicy debuff effects (Bregan chestpiece, Vistani/Apocalypse/Marilith/Grace Ring/Abyssal boot) that make your runs much easier.

FORTE build, also combines with Penetrating Arrow, st, or electric shot, aoe, at will ? Warden archery?

How are you gaining 4500 bonus, if your losing 4500 from the same thing bonus?

Ok maybe more useful bonuses (depending on class etc) but overall your not gainimg the amount you said.14k from 3, when it's actually only 5k from 3.
...and probably less, as I'm sure the companion bonus you highlighted that gives 2.5k x 2, is equiped is gonna replace the bonus slot your equipping it with.

With 20% of the raptor if you have the possibility put rings, shoes, armor, shirt, head with %dmg, if instead you have advanced stats put emblems with forte + best atk comp

First of all, are you capping all your stats? If you are not the discussion ends here lol. Power is easy to cap on dps using raptor or not.
That's a good discussion and I'm glad you talked about the impact of it in the group. However, I think you are focusing on the wrong role. As you said, Forte is the solution for not needing raptor because all dps have power as the main Forte Stat. Healers,on the other hand, have divinity regen so we don't get power for free.
I took the liberty to play around the builder and see if my healer build(cleric) could pull it off without sacrificing debuffs. It turns its doable. With the apocalypse set, old mastered weapons, chest piece that give critical strike for all as well as grace ring (they will eventually fix for clerics), I was able to cap everything but only with forge box active, so 3% short of power if it's not. Yes, portobello is mandatory as well as the auras that give power. If the healer has the new perfect weapons is easier ofc. If it has the legacy sorbet it's also easier. The only debuff I lost on that config was the companion enhancement which shouldn't be a big deal considering you dps guys would use a damage bonus instead of raptor that is certainty better than the buff said enhancements would provide.
Another thing to note is that I'm using aasimar (2% power and healing race bonus) so a free to play race could struggle a little more. Moreover, those changes make my stats fluctuate a lot more during combat which may not be a good thing.
And that's just the cleric, each healer has its own kit that favors building one stat over another. Quick mention to warlock and bard...if they go full on debuff and buffs, I doubt the cap is doable. I'm saying those classe because they are the only ones that have the debuff chest piece.

Big mistake on the chest piece bit is 90% of people can't get it due to mtos being too hard for them mate you failed to mention that

Gus. Great content as always. But something u r missing. Companion enhancement. This should be debuff because brings more dmg for the all party even if u not cap something, it’s best for the group, so I ll think on adjust this before moving to remove raptor and going to forte, if u re there great, but again, all dps and heal need to adapt not using raptors. another point is strike companion. Those aren’t relevant in a artefact call as a debuff companion.

Down with the power Raptors! Bring on the awareness Raptors!!

Maybe one day
