Combat Advantage Adjustments Confirmed! Will Ranged DPS be viable in Mod 17 Neverwinter Uprising?

[@zfinley751]

You give some of the most overlooked info about this game and I appreciate it, bro.

[@Bman-xy2vh]

Thanks for the info, finally some good news.

[@DeadDreadLock]

This is a wonderful thing and thank you so much for following up on it.

[@xkabzx114]

Great vid as always Soly

[@x1ceDxTxZer0x]

Wow. Didn't even know this was an issue. Think I'm gonna switch back to Yojimbo for my Arbiter build now. Good looking out man.

[@Elfekero1978]

Real good info good work bro

[@jeremydammerich3730]

Main reason I dont build this stat for my cleric I never get combat advantage unless I get rushed but majority of the time I'm to far for the range to get that bonus. Its gonna be nice getting those bonus in mod 17

[@elvoria]

This game has never been fair to range gameplay. I am glad they are finally looking into this.

[@craigtaylor7412]

only problem with the ranged might be in tomm some phases require u to be grouped up and close together and close to boss will be interesting.

[@drive-byguitarlessons1858]

Today I was doing an ME... popped my artifact then daily then prayer and it stuck me in prayer mode. Controls wouldn’t even register. Ugh. Hate it when that happens.

[@drive-byguitarlessons1858]

At the last boss

[@benstine3995]

This is going to make ranged classes way overpowered now. GG and how will this function work pvp? Believe dev do stuff with no testing so here we go again! Ok so let's give all melee classes 3 feats then? I'm not saying ranged shouldn't get this change but they need to look at buffing melee classes a little then to compensate.

[@damienjones653]

Ranged aren't getting anything you don't already have... don't see your point

[@weeabooshunter4759]

Well, well, well... I love this game regardless of what happens

[@x6Blade9x]

This is nice to try and implement, but PvP will become bug as any range player will have maximum advantage over non range... Hope the Dev. Really look into this from all angles...its all these small changes that created more bug in the past.

[@Womanhu]

oh i will stop using npnm now...WOAH that will change my sw build quite a bit,since i like eldritch blast

[@damienjones653]

Hi Soly, could you settle a dispute between me and a good friend. If you are in combat advantage range currently and using ranged spells would you get the % ranged bonus damage where there isn't a specified range mentioned in the tooltip..... eg.... Hags rags or new ME rings?

[@SolytheScourge]

It's kinda complicated because it comes down to the individual coding of each power and the tooltips often don't tell the whole story. They tried to clean up a lot of it in mod 16 to make sure all the ranged bonuses applied to all the powers you think it would (often times in older mods the effects would be dealing damage and not your character just like the T9 red buff would only increase your first hit but not your creeping death damage since technically the creeping death curse was dealt the damage and not your character). The only example I can think of now would be curse bites and when you consume the curse if your character deals the damage or if the curse itself is dealing the damage and I haven't tested it out personally.

[@damienjones653]

Thanks for the reply. But really what we are trying to establish if you are in combat advantage range using a ranged spell (Killing Flames) to your understanding would we get those bonuses from the current MOD 16 ME rings 3% damage. Is there a range check on ranged spells to proc that bonus I guess would be what we trying to understand.

[@SolytheScourge]

Anything that says ranged damage will give a bonus to killing flames because it is a ranged power. It doesn't matter where you stand. You can get both bonus damage from hags rags (ranged) and Shadow Stalker (standing close) at the same time. There are bonuses that just check what type of power it is which are the ranged vs meele ones (think hags rags/furied kunio of the bear) then there is a different type of bonus which judges how close you are standing to a target (think shadow stalker ring vs spell flinger ring from Omu hunts and quests)

[@damienjones653]

Thanks Soly for clearing that up in my favour - I can tell my friend she is a loser! :D

[@Obikin89]

If they are okay with not being healed and endangering the party by not taking their part of aoe damages... Sure...

[@warmungah]

Wizard the strongest? lmao HR can waste a CW any day of the week.

[@rey6450]

Thats true. Everyone says cw is best but they dont look at the hr. Hr is crazy strong. Cw have no chance against the hr. Hr will wipe the floor with the cw.

[@cesarColindres]
