IMPROVE your DAMAGE! (check comment) How to Optimize Your DPS Stats in Neverwinter 2022 (Part 4)

Рет қаралды 36,220

Күн бұрын

What to prioritize as a Damage Dealer in Neverwinter? Max out your damage with these following steps! Here I go over what you need to do to fully optimize your damage output in terms of Stats. The rest is down to right power setups and your own skills and timings. This should help you out to optimize your character, and have you dealing much more damage in no time at all. Further nitty gritty optimizing is always needed, and also taking on the massive grind on the Band of Air in hardcore Vault of stars!
*To add:*
- Start Dragon hunts asap (instead of going to Avernus) for some of the best gear
- Get a Companion Enchantment with your Combat Enchantment, to massively boost your companions damage or your stats if its an augment
- You can buy the Assassin's neck, waist and artifact set for a big item level boost at low cost (has gotten more expensive since it's mod 25 now)
- You can buy for very cheap M25 epic rings at 1,600 Item level or some more expensive legendary ones at 1,700 Item Level, instead of buying the older dragonbone Vale rings like I suggest.
- get the new legendary companion gear from the Northdark reaches when you hit the item level requirement.
- If you are a Dps, you might want to consider getting a Lightning Flash Combat Enchant, instead of one of the ones from the legendary pack shown in the series.

Start Dragon hunts asap (instead of going to Avernus) for some of the best gear in the game with loads of stats! Was released with Module 23

is this still relevant? I just came back and to be honest I have no idea what to do and where to go and I know guides get out dated so I am not sure how much of this is still relevant to the current patch

@lordofnothing7398 2 жыл бұрын

Just to add a minor nitpick: the boots from lair of the mad mage are not the same on each class, and ranged dps have 5% combat advantage only when 50 feet or farther (which is very bad because that's not how the game is played, even by ranged characters). I think cleric has this kind of boots, probably warlock too, and the others I don't know

I mostly solo as a rogue, rarely will you find me in a group. I tried this set up and I got dropped in a heartbeat. I had no defense. I don't want to seem mean, but part of being a dps is living to dps. Also don't think that I'm trying to put anyone off your videos, I'm not. If people can fight like that, do so, you are one of the 2 channels I watch for "help me through this s#$%" guides, the other is 360 gaming. One question, the boots from the Mad Mage Lair, do they drop or can you buy them? Because if it's an at the end gold reward, good luck on finding someone to go all the way to gold, people were whining yesterday when people voted to go silver... lol Oh and Ps thank you for the video on locations of the jewels, and how to get the weapon set etc. I do want to know is there anything else to do with the jewels other than just spend them on reputation? Oh I should tell you I'm running a near full set of the Enclave (call of the wild set, with the weapons you got me 💖 via ur video) and patiently waiting and upgrading til I get the antique ones. Oh another question the crystal fairy wings, are they for sale from a vendor and which stage do you have to unlock? Like all 3 stages or 2 or?

I’m currently running Twilight bracers for the 3% bonus, should I switch those out for the wrist guards from HCVOS? And are Mirage weapons or Lionheart better for DPS?

@Aragon- 2 жыл бұрын

yes, the wristguards would be better on a fast hitting class, like a rogue, at least if you can make room for the 7.5k power. Mirage vs. Lionheart depends on the class, can't say for all atm, but on rogue they are basically the same, mirage can be slightly better with artifact calls

Since Dragonborn Vale has come out, I'm wondering if "Necrotic Mastery" or "Dino Power" might have beneficial damage effects on the dragon in "Crown of Keldegonn"? Just trying to squeak out every ounce of damage on dragons, especially since Cryptic seems to be heading towards more of these kinds of bosses... I appreciate your expertise and guidance friend :-)

@phattube81 2 жыл бұрын

18:04 I was also wondering, what if you would slot all companion damage bonus instead of stats, is it better than going for the 90% stats? Just wondering

@Aragon- 2 жыл бұрын

The damage bonuses can be slightly better, keep in mind the Neverwinter Knight is pay zen to get now for new players and then unavailable after April the 1st, so I didn't suggest it. Minsc only works on tougher enemies and Batiri only on bosses. So yes, it can be best to at least use minsc and Batiri for boss fights, and then it can be better to just have stats than use the Knight. Depends on how many other damage biff you have tho

@@Aragon- Sorry, forgot to mention. I meant, on an endgame perspective, where you slot all damage comp bonuses. Haven't had the time to test it as I'm a noob in using ACT.

For people that don't have the ribcage, do you think the mercenary breastplate is better than the midnight cuirass from HC vos if power isn't capped?

the mercenary breastplate is better if you dont have your power capped already

it gives 6k power which equals 6% dmg, so as long as your power is 84% or lower mercenary is better.

as a dps you lose more damage unslotting your combat enchant then you gain from the stats you get, its only useful for healer or tank.

@matthewrose8002 Жыл бұрын

@@alejandrorodriguez3376 also, combat advantage isn't going to add to your damage if you don't have it during the fight. What I mean is not only do you need to increase combat advantage as a stat but also be in position to get it during the fight. You can use skills or have companions that give combat advantage in the fight but just knowing that getting the stat isn't going to automatically increase your damage in the fight. You will know if you have CA in the fight in the blue/dark blue/purple border vs white border of the enemy. White means you don't have CA on the enemy.
