Q - why would you parry an attack as opposed to dodging? (like cost and such)
A - dodging is a fixed high cost 500(400 glyphed), parry can cost as low as 50 if you time it perfectly so you have to learn what to dodge or parry (high damage attacks are better dodged than parried)
Q - how quickly does sta come back? do you feel you can dodge less now than before
A - you get 10% of your max every 2 sec plus some when you attack with any ability
Q - how does warrior parry compare to a lancer block? like are they still able to cover their face and stay still, and if a warrior tried this would it work.
A - you lose a lot of stam holding block/parry so no one can do the old block forever routine
Q - block value, closer to a lancers or a berserkers?
A - very close to lancers (slightly lower)
Q - Dungeons, if you have experience in them how fun are they?
A - give me a day or two i will have videos and more stuff on those - was doing BG's mostly
Q - difficulty, i imagine the first 2 are equivilent difficulty to BT and FoK HM, and drop T13, and the other is much more difficult than anything in game and drops T14?
A - new one (not the easy mode) are much higher difficulty than FoK/BT gear scores required for cross server is 147 and 153 respectively. The easy mode version of Argon is easy, much easier than BT around the same as FoK
Q - the ToT like dungeon, if you could give a rough review in general of it it would be great.
A - havn't tried that one yet, will run it tomorrow
Q - How are the new nexus
A - I missed the nexus this morning (middle of the night for me, will try to catch them tonight)
Q - What are battlegrounds rewards?
A - Battleground give you rep and tokens like the current reps in game, you can trade them for full sets of gear even tier 14 gear. Its pvp gear
Q - Where do you get the black edition sets?
A - Same vendor as the pvp rewards (same currency too)
Q - Do the two new instances have HMs?
A - Argon Meldithia has a hard mode (147 or 142 for easy), the other two do not Tier 14 seems to drop from both Argon hard mode and Shandra (not from the Timed one)
Q - How does warrior stamina feel
A - Feels like a lot of micro management so far, mana + stamina + combo points to babysit but tanking wise it feels natural enough, i will have a detailed video review soon
Q - Can you still interrupt abilities by parrying
A - yeah basically what you could dodge interrupt you can block interrupt
Q - Can you take screens of the pvp gear? I wanna see stats ;3
A - Full vendor list: http://youtu.be/9-O3El9XKHk?hd=1
Q - How many times can you enter battlegrounds per day? And is the cooldown really 10 minutes?
A - as many times as you'd like and yeah 10 min
Q - Are rewards for the T14 done through a new faction or still the Agnitor from Nexus?
A - completely new faction
Q - What are the drop tables for the new instances.
A - Give us a few days to figure them out, it only went live a few hours ago
Q - You mentioned a 153 gear score for Argon Queen. I take that is more than a few pieces above +9?
A - Not really; full crafted mastercrafted gear will get you to that score at +9
Q - can lancers still block if their stamina is depleted (ie deplete mana instead of stam)
A - No they cannot
Q - Comparison of t14 gear from the argon instance (the one with a hard mode) to t13
A - t13 to t14 is around the same jump as t12 to t13, marginal but noticeable.
Q - How much additional stam does being hit during block drain in pvp and pve? I know i couldnt dent lancer mana as an archer. Id oom before him.
A - stamina drain from being hit is really not substantial but the 50 stamina per sec you hold block is substantial. If a lancer keeps blocking he will run out of stamina and no you cannot block once you are out (does not go back to mana)
Q - Does the 147 instance drop t13 or t14. Also, is it feasible to finish the instances at the minimum gear score?
A - seems to drop tier 14 gear, feasible yes, but really depends on the skill of the players you do it with
Q - any news on the 9th class or guild housing?
A - No news on the 9th class but guild housing is still on the road map, they just clarified that it will be guild and not player housing.
Q - I just watched the vendor vid...so there are no second tier PvP gear that's t14? so T14 is crafted only?
A - The pvp vendor crafted t14 gear is PvP gear.
Q - Also, still no mystics? ;(
A - Its the middle of the night in korea give it a few hours
Q - Are Lancers still in demand for tanking? It seems since Warriors will be able to tank just as well as Lancers except do less damage the obvious choice for end game content would be a warrior tank.
A - Still too early to tank but i doubt lancers will be replaced by Warriors any time soon
Q - if something is coming at you, would it be feasible to switch to defensive and block (like, potentially block canceling the animation of your stance switch).
A - Not really since switching stances cost 1000 ST (out of 1200) but yeah its doable.
Q - What are the stats on the T14 items?
A - Check the video, i am not about to translate them but the stats are the same you have with higher attack values
Q - It sounds like Lancer Block is kinda getting nerfed, does it feel that way? Or can we block just as much as now?
A - In a sense it is a nerf because you cannot hold it for long periods or have unlimited block with enough mana regen.
Also remember people the gear scores are only for the LFD you can try those dungeons without the gear anytime you want.
Q - Can the new BG gear be MW?
A - No it cannot, however the craftable T14 can be masterworked
Q - Are the new Zerker charge-time buffs enough to make them viable?
A - Those zerk changes went in today; only time will tell but i saw a lot of zerks today so that's a good sign i guess.
Q - what is the power of Lancer new attack skill?
A - At its highest rank (lvl 58) 2436 so yeah kinda high
Q - Do we have to run dungeons to get mats to craft PvP gear? Where do we obtain mats for this gear?
A - You upgrade your T13 pvp weapon into a T14 one, the other matts are on the same vendor so PvP for pvp matts.
Q - How many credits do you get from a BG win/lose average?
A - I got 120 for a win and 70 for a lost match earlier but i think contribution matters and with my latency i am a dead-weight in those.
Q - What Bg's are there
A - 15 vs 15 Capture and hold with mobs you can kill for temporary buffs to help clear the control points. Other Bg's have not been released yet.
Q - How does stamina regen works, i saw a video where it stopped when abilities were used.
A - You get 10%/2sec plus some whenever you attack, regen only stops while you hold block.
Q - Did Slayer & Berserker dodge/block end up on the stamina system or just Warrior & Lancer?
A - Only Warriors and Lancers
Q - This doesn't seem right. Are WARs considered best tank now?
A - No, you have to remember that even with Parry we still do not have all the tanking tools a lancer has, we cannot enrage bosses, bubble ourselves, take damage for team mates or raise their defense etc...
Q - Can Block (almost) like a Lancer (per your FAQ)
A - Almost is the keyword here, we still have lower values and we are forced into defensive stance to block.
Q - Does the Lancer Dodge remove collision too?
A - yes
Q - Has 800 less Stamina than Lancer. Does that 800 Stamina means THAT much that it outweighs everythin else?
A - It's 16 sec worth of block, 2 dodges worth and means 200 regen ticks instead of our 120, its a big difference.
Q - The lancer back step is there inv frame on it like warrior/slayer dodge?
A - Nope its the same as the priest/archer/sorc one
Q - Do you lose crystals if you die in BGs?
A - No you do not
Q - Does the stamina regen per hit scale off damage at all or is it a flat amount? If its flat do you forsee skills like traverse cut and rain of blows being best at rocovering it?
A - Stamina regen is based on what skill is used:
Lancer
Combo Attack | 75/112/140 Stamina
Challenging Shout | 322 Stamina
Shield Counter | 233 Stamina
Debilitate | 144 Stamina
Spring Attack | 136 Stamina
