Need help with my fighter

[HPL]

Hello,

I have a problem with my character and I can not put my finger on it.

I have a level 17 fighter TR. He died half the time fighting Harry.

I play a DPS Warforge, 450 hit points

I have two levels of Warforge healer's friend.

With the ship buffs I think healing is amplified about 30%.

What is the problem? Me, the healers or the Shroud lag?

Thx

You didn't wrote it but I asume you had heavy fort on and got some fire resistance? Guild or PUG runs? Did ohters die too?

[HPL]

Yes... 125% h fort and fire resist at max... with all the buffs we need to beat Harry.

I mostly do Shroud pugs and strangely, i'm the only one to die...

Hp, fortification and HF tiers sound ok.

My best guess is that your divine casters were tailoring and timing their healing on "fleshie" party members and it didn't work out very well for you .

However, look for healing amplification gear: 20% healing amplification is quite easy to slot (e.g. ToD rings, dragontouched docents, Levik's Bracers).

I think the problem probably is that you're likely standing next to a 700+ HP barbarian, a human paladin with healing amp, and having clerics using buffed mass cure moderates rather than mass heals (which is far more SP efficient after U9) and you're not getting enough healing, even with HF2, to keep your HP high enough to take a meteor swarm to the face.

Definitely look for more healing amplification - dragontouched armor might help, and in a pinch you can sacrifice some of your fort for healing amp if you find/craft an item with blood on it.

[HPL]

Thx for all the advice.

I will look for more HA since i cannot say to the cleric "use mass heal on me!!!! hjeal!!!!!"

Isn't 450 a little light on HP's? I guess maybe not if you don't have GS already...

More HP can help...Rage pots and Yugo pots are good for extra emergency HP's

Wearing a +6 Con and GFL item?

450HP is more than enough for shroud (I'm assuming normal) hell its probably ok for elite. I'm guessing he doesn't have a GS item and Yugo pots at lvl 17 if its his first toon.

*edit* nvm, forgot the tr part. Still 450 should still be plenty so its probably what Jdub said.

I would also guess you are next to higher hit point characters. 450 is definitely light for a wf fighter. i have a 32pt warforged fighter that is 20 and has over 600 hp without buffs. does have a +6 con item, GFL item, and a minos on. however, no green steel hp item yet. with the green steel it will be over 700 hp

if hp is not the problem, i don't know what it would be unless u didn't have resists up. if u can make a tier 2 greensteel weapon (going the min 2 route), u will have 2 clickies of stoneskin that will help also.

If you can tell, are you receiving cures at all? You might be positioned poorly. You can try asking who the cures are going to be cast on and getting shoulder to shoulder with them.

You might also have been doing runs with lots of evasion types (Rogues, Monks, frontline melees with those splashes, Rangers). If you are THF, you probably aren't even saving for half, so your incoming damage would be dramatically higher than theirs.

Or your healers might just have muffed it.

Or you might have just had a run of bad luck. How many runs are we talking about here: 5, 10, 50?

[HPL]

Well i did a Shroud run yesterday and everything went well.

@Sequell :

i have 4 GS item. 2 h. picks T2 (pg+holy and acid+acid blast), a helmet T2 (hp+hp) and a GS T2 (acid+holy)

My toon probably need a lesser reincarnation... to fix my 'low' hp problem.

Thx for all your advices.

@Kinerd

10 runs

Great, so you eventually ditched that Improved Fortification feat you had picked up? *coughs*

Coming from somebody who plays both a 18 WF barb and 20 WF FVS in the Shroud, I'd say it's all of the above from time to time. 450 HP on a low heal amp toon is cutting it pretty thin with the current lag situation.

My barb is running at 560 HP in part 5. He gets into low health situations that would kill you pretty frequently. He needs more HP and heal amp and I'm working on it.

You could be having a few healer problems.

Healers new to mass healing raids may not be focused on triggering a Mass heal based on the weakest toons red bar. As a low level, no evasion, low heal amp character, you're probably one of the weakest members of the raid party. That means you're the first to die.

As a WF FVS, I generally melee in the middle and just cast MH on myself when it seems the party needs it. I do this because I know that if I can cast the spell, the heal target is alive. I use mass heal because as a WF with only about 85% heal amp that's what I need to be able to stay up. A fleshie or perimeter healer may be casting a lesser mass cure that won't keep you up.

It's also possible the healers just don't think they can keep you up or that you aren't worth keeping up. You're going to be difficult to carry through the quest and depending on the rest of the party, they may just not have the mana or the inclination to keep you alive.

More HP and heal amp should solve your problems.

Problem solve.

Did a lesser reincarnation, pick different feats, max out Con and Str and level up to 18.

Right now, i'm sitting on 605 hp non buff.

Think i'm learning something.
