    Neverwinter Mod 19 Devout Cleric is the opposite of fun...


    Mod 19 Devout Cleric is the opposite of fun...

    Posted: 31 Jul 2020 11:02 AM PDT

    The divinity problem

    Divinity now recharges at a rate of about 41-44 every 3 seconds (on the clock).

    Healing Word is the only way to heal realistically. It costs 220 divinity (5 ticks of divinity, so it recharges in 15 seconds). It heals 450 magnitude on the spot, then 300 magnitude every 3 seconds for 18 seconds (6 times). It's 7 times better than BoH, while only costing 2.2 times the divinity. When you use Healing Word, you basically have 40ish divinity to play with every 18 seconds. That's 1 soothe. So, you use powers to max out the output of Healing Word, and you sit and do nothing, 99% of the time.

    It's the opposite of fun.

    Gameplay is non existent

    Gameplay in mod 18, IC (don't look too much at how the fight goes, that was very early in mod 18)

    Gameplay in mod 18 was tough. We had half a second to heal everyone up to full, or they could die in an instant. We had to manage divinity : we couldn't just spam powers or we would run out, but if we channelled well enough, we could use powers like Daunting Light (with the Vistani set) to help the dps a bit. We were powerful, but we had to play and be geared properly to be powerful. And we were still nothing compared to Paladins who could give another health bar to everyone.

    Gameplay in mod 19, IC

    Gameplay in mod 19, LoMM

    Gameplay in mod 19 is non-existent. Siting and waiting is all we do. I feel extremely weak, because there's no power that lets me react to anything. Everything has a very long cast time, or too low magnitude, and spamming the only powers that have a short cast time means killing your divinity, and doing nothing for 1 minute (it actually takes more than 1 minute to replenish divinity entirely). Sure, we still have to follow the strat... But we do almost nothing actively.

    Divine Glow

    You could argue that we can use Divine Glow... But that would use a spell slot, so yes divinity would be a bit better, but what for ? Because that's the spell slot you could have used to actually use your divinity.

    Cycle of Prayer

    You could argue that there is the Cycle of Prayer feat... Which still requires you to do nothing for at least 12s to be really effective... But the Battle Prayer feat is the only thing that makes Light of Divinity somewhat reactive. That's because you can hold the heal for as long as you want when Battle Prayer is active. You cannot otherwise. And timing a heal with a 2.5s cast time is not particularly easy (you can heal earlier but not later)... It also makes Light of Divinity cheaper, which helps when divinity regenerates this slowly... and most importantly it makes Light of Divinity cast time last "only" 1s, which is already long enough but a huge improvement on 2.5s.

    The mark mechanic

    The mark thing is actually an awful mechanic. You never know when it's on someone, because it shows behind the HP bar. It's on a button that didn't always work properly in mod 18 (channelling divinity would not start, or stop on its own sometimes... which makes it very unreliable, especially when the mark and heal are on the same button). Without the Battle Prayer feat, you cannot time it, and the cast time is way too long to react to anything. The 15' range of Gathering Light is way too small to be effective (it's barely bigger than Astral Shield), especially when people move around (and you can't hold it at all because Battler Prayer only works on Light of Divinity and not Gathering Light)...

    The OH/IH/Crit Sev nerf is actually okay, the BoH nerf is not

    I was worried about the nerf of OH/IH/Crit Severity... and it's true that it has halved my healing capabilities. On the other hand, they also nerfed the damage monsters do. So, that's not too bad in the end, because people won't get one shot that easily. The problem is the magnitude split on BoH actually killed the spell. Using BoH is a waste of divinity compared to Healing Word, and it's a waste of a spell slot compared to almost anything else. Almost anything heals better than BoH now. The only other worthless healing spell is Astral Shield (which is okay to mitigate instant damage, but it only heals 3 times after about 3,6,9 seconds for a total 300 magnitude... and it doesn't refresh Healing Word...).

    Geas ?

    Geas could still be buffed to be useful too... both in length and strength. Who cares about the damage ?

    Intercession, the saviour

    Intercession is the only spell that is really good in our set : no divinity cost and a good heal on someone who needs it, instantly. The only drawback is the cooldown. But it's good as it is. At least they didn't kill this one.

    TLDR

    Playing Devout Cleric in mod 19 is extremely boring and not fun. Nothing in the set works well. We can't react to anything. I feel very powerless. Playing healbot is terrible.

    Devout Cleric powers - cannot select Devout specific powers

    Posted: 31 Jul 2020 09:14 PM PDT

    Hey guys. I am on PC and playing Cleric. Just reachec lvl 30 and reading through the powers and such. I am not sure if is a bug but I can't seem to select Powers for the Devout class. Every time I right-click to select say "Soothe" or anything specific to Devout I cannot switch to it. Does anybody have a similar situation? Should I submit a ticket to Arc?

    Campaign issues. I am a level 80 barbarian playing on Xbox. 13000 item level

    Posted: 31 Jul 2020 08:05 AM PDT

    I don't know what to start doing. I'm on chapter 4 of the maze engine or the undermountain. When I talk to battlehammer in mantlederoth it says chapter 4. I'm defending the sword coast and I think that gives the items I need to complete the repel demons task in the campaign menu. I'll take any suggestions that doesn't have anything to do with the well of dragons.

    LOMM new features

    Posted: 31 Jul 2020 12:19 PM PDT

    Some enemies are now invisible, impossible to target, only taking damage from random AOE you might launch on them, and will pursue until either of you dies.

    Some of the boulders from boreworm take up to 3 hits to get destroyed, independently of the damage done.

    Just letting you know since these wonderful new features aren't in any patch.

    Can we get some acknowledgement regarding the completely broken blood war meter?

    Posted: 31 Jul 2020 01:47 PM PDT

    Has anybody from the development team brought this up? On console since it's release, the meter will fill purple and then have negative minutes before it resets, rinse and repeat this cycle.

    Will the dungeon boss/bosses be fixed soon?

    Posted: 31 Jul 2020 01:05 PM PDT

    Just did Cloak Tower and holy hell there's absolutely nothing fun about this "scaling". If this was intentional, what the fuck is Cryptic thinking? Every single one of us were just hitting this boss and doing pretty much NOTHING to it. I'm pretty sure there was a level 80 here as well, and they didn't hurt it at all.

    Edit: Did they change getting AD from Qs? Didn't get any at all from it.

    Equipment question....

    Posted: 31 Jul 2020 12:59 PM PDT

    I have the under mountain equipment and now just received the Vistani set. The stats are the same. Is either set better than the other? Or should I just sell one randomly?

    Dormant Forger's Box

    Posted: 31 Jul 2020 04:45 AM PDT

    Hi all!

    Quick question, I f***ed up and sold accidentally my Dormant Forger's Box to an NPC due to a lack of space in inventory. Is there a way to get it back or do the quest again? If not is there another belt item that I could use?

    Thank you!

    Player Auto-Targeting and Menu

    Posted: 31 Jul 2020 05:27 AM PDT

    Is there a way to turn off that stupid menu that appears when you trying to pick up something and a player walks directly in front of you to annoy you and/or to steal what you are trying to pick up yourself? That player menu is seriously annoying.

    What do u think is the best dps and the best tank in mod 19? Just for curiosity

    Posted: 31 Jul 2020 04:40 AM PDT

    Hi, since i came back to neverwinter i have felt some curiosity about what is the best dps and the best tank. With this post i dont wanna create any rivalries between mains or something like that, is just thar i have heard some people that said that a cleric with a perfect rotation is te best, others say that that rotation is so difficult so rogue or barb is better, but no one of them give a good explanation of why they say that. Same with tanks, some people say fighters and other pallys but no one say why.

    So i would like to know what is your opinion about this. I repeat that is just for curiosity because i have always like to know whats the best and worst in games.

    Cheap augment companion for fresh lvl 80 wizard

    Posted: 31 Jul 2020 04:18 AM PDT

    I just got to level 80 and most of the guides that I see online say that I should prioritize getting an augment companion for the stats. I am aiming for the Bulette Pup but that I can't afford it yet because I only have 150k AD. Is there a cheap augment companion that I should use while I'm saving up? Some say that I should go for a rare cat since augments don't have that big a difference unless I'm min-maxing, but I want to make sure that I am investing on something that I can actually use without regretting it down the line.

    Seeking Advice on Companions

    Posted: 31 Jul 2020 03:20 AM PDT

    Hello those reading Little starting info~ I am new to the sub(reddit) and neverwinter on the Ps4. Playing lvl 67 Warlock Hellbringer... Not to toot my horn but in case any of this information helps ~My current question is regarding companions. Ive seen some outdated information on YouTube about Augmentation and Mods and I'm confused over wether or not there are companions whose stats can boost a beginner (or lvl 67 in my case). Right now I have the Energon because someone boasted its shared HP. Also have a bonding runestone rk 5.. Hoping this isnt in the wrong place, I wave a hello to fellow adventurers.
