So, what do you think..?
HRs have never gotten as much out of the lolset as other classes, though for us the stats were always great. I'm of the feeling that for us, it's a backhander buff in that some of our competition - gwfs and to a lesser extent cws - have gotten chopped off at the knees.
No idea what my toon is now.

My 2.4k GWF will actually have to learn to play now as he will no longer be killing mobs by just looking at them

That said, as has been pointed out already, Lostmauth was never a crazy boost for us, and will hit us less than most other dps classes. TRs are reporting a 10-15% dps loss, and I can only imagine it's much worse for GWFs or CWs.

That said, in pve elol set was around 6% of my trappers dmg, there was nothing better rly, but even after change we have nothing to replace it with, we need to w8 and hope some other sets will be boosted or aim for orcus, since orcus should be average 10% dmg increase on bosses (hard to tell on pulls, but prolly much less)
Trappers had plenty dmg coming from roots dot, but elol was not procing out of roots, thats why we never gained much and we wont lose much, actually trapper may be finally on pair with gwf as dmg dealer.

Now if they just give us corrosive arrows that dissolve gf shields, and rocket boots that negate courage breaker, we'll be set.
Other classes crying about not being viable anymore/being nerfed/? Hah, this game's power creep is already high enough.
That being said I'm somewhat impressed they're fixing some balance issues as that's something that hasn't happened for a long time, but it's nowhere near enough to make me come back to the game and honestly some of the changes are laughable.
In current state, yes. Lostmauth is the best option for more dazes and CR offhand proccing, but after update Lostmauth wont anymore crit. Imperial set is critable but uptime of this set is nearly this same like in Steel Blitz.
Ok, i found a solution for Lostmauth replace. I forgot that Seeker Vengeance DoT is critable. I am not sure this DoT proc Cruel Recovery, i need to test this but dazes should works. Problem is only one, if you wanna to use Seeker, you need to replace Alone Wolf for this in PvP rotation.
Re. Trappers cunning, a friend of mine did some testing, and came to the conclusion it did absolutely nothing at all.
Has anyone done some recent conclusive tests..?
Seeker's Vengeance DoT is terrible except for trolling purposes, it doesn't proc cruel recovery.

I'm pretty solid on the DPS-side of things, but I still feel a bit 'squishy' at times. Not that - say - running the Seldarine set instead of Lostmauth is going to make a ton of difference, but I'm still looking for ways to grant myself that extra bit of initial survivability - sustain is fine, it's the start of the encounter where I sometimes derp up - without killing my DPS.
In pvp I'm pretty much ok too if I swap a few mounts around. Just need a beholder tank lol.
Bring on the nerf !!!

Imperial set, on the other hand, = power, crit, recovery. Rod = recovery, lifesteal, control bonus.
So the main difference is swapping about 800 arpen for recovery in the equipment, and then losing power + arpen in the artifact but gaining recovery + lifesteal. The only main survivable difference I see is the 1000 lifesteal from an orange Rod which isn't going to make or break your survivability, although the Rod's active bonus is a nice survivability boost too (provided things aren't immune to it).
I have been weighing up the Lostmauth set for my Archer over the past few days and then yesterday both the artifact and belt dropped for me. I am already in the process of replacing my Lathander set with the Imperial cloak and belt, while swapping out the Eye for Sigil of the Hunter as the Rod's Control Bonus stat does nothing for me. I'm still not sure if I should go for the Lostmauth set as the Horn also has Control Bonus.

The other factor for me, which I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a large factor, is that I can just can't be arsed to level up another artifact set
