I'm just gonna post another reply, since y'all hiding.
After winning a Temporal Warden, I started feeling like I needed a challenge.
Thus, I rolled a Bulwark, fully expecting the challenge to be not to fall asleep on the keyboard. Turns out I was rather wrong - Bulwark is a pretty fun guy, a little too few keys to press, but still jolly entertaining.
I don't think I'll ever get tired of a Block-Assault combo, and being reasonably tough (only against physical damage, though) is never dull. My biggest problem was elemental damage. I died three times in the Rift in Daikara, once in the Crypt (and I failed to save Melinda because the douchemongers kept kiting me), and a few more times in Dreadfell.
Thusfore, I have a few questions:
- How do I handle elemental damage on a Bulwark? I kept stockpiling resistance armour, but it didn't exactly help. Better positioning and patience would be wonderful but hey, I've gotten to like 6 wins without that, I'm not about to start now.
- Are there any vital Bulwark skills? Do I keep that -20% damage sustain on all the time? It felt like I should, since it also gives stun resistance, and that's always good.
All in all, my biggest problem, and the source of most of my impatience, is the lack of AOE. I'm addicted to AOE. I like AOE, and it's my firm belief all classes should have it.
So my last questions is, is there any good class add-on (I can't get the stupid expansion since it turns out I have no way to pay online - I live in Eastern Europe and frankly I've almost never had to... and whenever I did, I just used my roommate's card, but he gone for the next week or so) with a lot of AOE? Doesn't matter if caster or melee, I just want AOE and mobility. I've done some browsing, but I would prefer your opinion on stuff you've tried, cuz I love y'all so much.
I'm thinking of Anorithil or a Paradox Mage, from the standard classes, since I've won Archmage, and for some odd reason, I've never grown to like Corruptor. Paradox Mage with the new changes should be pretty awesome, but I just won a Paradox class.
