I played PoM today with another HR, he was trapper, me combat. Even though he wasn't maxed in gear etc. he basically killed or took most health with roots before I was even able to get to mobs.
Maybe that's funny or pathetic by me but it's today that I realised that going into melee is our main weakness With lol level content I have hard time to deal any dps since things are dead before I'm within range of my tiny knives.
Just run faster:). Joking, but I dont care this kind of dungs. I am often beated by low gear gwf or cw on ETOS or EGWD, he is just faster and kills mobs with 1 hit. But pls answer my request concerning rotation.

You should use melee encounter after LS shot and then 3x split strike. You're loosing all the LS buff on just hitting 3x Split Strike not buffed by Combat capstone.
Yes, that's it. You basically spam encounters to buff atwills. Of course you can throw thorn ward, cordon or go back to throw another Longstriders and then repeat. It can be boring as hell but it sure does tons of damage.
I actually found it prettt dull after running it for some time now. Switched to trapper mostly and also running dungeons with my GF most of the time since tanking seems so much fun for me atm.
Uh, oh. Off the topic I heard a rumour that Feytouched is getting nerfed in mod13, can anyonoe confirm this? I just upgraded my trans to UP few days ago and my guildies told me that Fey and Lightning are getting nerfed.
And also - anyone checked if Bilethorn is good for tong boss fights? It's an enchantment that takes long to kick in, but especially Orcus fight isn't short.
Tbh. with nerfs and bugs I gave up caring, bought a trans vorp and called it good. Boring sure, but it does what it says on the can, is useful for all my alts except my tank, will never ever get nerfed because it is so simple, and isn't complex enough to bug out. Cheapish too.

However, I have not seen or read any blog posts in which the devs have flat out said "we plan to adjust the Feytouched damage buff". Since the main appeal of Feytouched is its damage buff, you can rest assured that Fey will be fine in Mod13.

No.
Proc enchants in general suck on Combat HR due to half of your damage (Blade Hurricane + Piercing Blades) not activating the proc enchantments. This issue would get further compounded by the Bloody Death buff, as Bloody Death works in a similar fashion to Piercing Blades and won't proc any weapon enchantment hits.
In addition, Combat HRs have something called "decent base damage" which means you are always better off with a buff style enchantment (Fey/Vorpal/Dread).
I recently changed from UP Fey to UP Vorpal and I'm glad I did this.
But my first question is - how much crit chance do I need? I have like 94-95% crit chance with bonding proc but I wonder if I should aim for 100%. When I swap my loadout to Trapper, I find myself with highly overstacked crit chance (110-115%). So is 94% good enough or should I be hardcore and go to 100%?
My second question - do you guys put your armpen in your gear or do you just swap guild boon from power to armpen when running tong? Cause that's what I do actually.
And third question - what's your boots choice? I currently use Bonespurs, but was thinking about Boots of the Alpha (cause this sounds so goddamn manly) or Assault Primal slippers. Or maybe some different choice you guys have?
Anything over 85-90% is pretty much enough for base crit chance (with bondings up), after that boons and buffs will spike it to a 100%.
Arpen, mainly stacked on my pet for pve, guild boon for pvp.
Boots wise, bonespurs for enough arpen for the tong bosses without stacking crazy (and normally useless) amounts of the base stat. Sometimes in PvP I swap to alpha boots.
Hey guys I'm back I've been gone since Nov last year, it doesn't seem like I missed much. Looks like us Combat HR's are still king of the hill. Question Which weapon set is BiS now? Also from looking at the new drops Fured Kiuno of the Bear, Jawripper's Gloves and Boots of the Willed are the new BiS for those spots.

Welcome back.
I wouldn't call the combat HR "King of the hill" but, yes, we're doing fine and nothing has changed since november.
I'm still not sure which weapon set I should use. Primal seems to be the winner atm, it procs a lot despite not working with lifesteal, but i fear it's gonna get an internal cooldown sooner or later as usual. Pilgrim is bugged. Pioneer is a steady 4000 points in unbuffed offensive stats and 1000 in defense (another 100 power with assassin's covenant) but only in a full group.
Mod13 brings some powerful armor but it's too early for anyone to have them (except the kiuno), there also are rings which give up to 2.5% damage when closer than 25 feet away from target, which means always for us.

Not True my friend, there seems to have been a bug or maybe "working as intended" but you could buy multiple expedition box's and get T3 hunts done or for that matter unlock the whole campaign. If you wanted to drop that much cash upfront. "Pay to Win" for sure..... I have the chest, boots and gloves already and 3 sets of the weapons. Sadly not for the HR tho, I have the Paladin, Cleric and Control Wizard. I'll do some testing with them and report back.

Congratulations on catching the tyrant and his gear already! Did you get any sleep since the patch was released?
Wouldn't Fearbringers be better than Jawripper's Gloves? I don't know for you but I personally hardly do any damage with my daily powers partly cause i'm too busy using encounters and at-wills.
(Don't mind me, just an ordinary fighter walking through...)
The kiuno is awesome no doubt, I got mine today.
When I read "inherited proc" and "yes" for piercing blade and blade hurricane I thought you meant we would get an extra 1.03 multiplier for the procs but, no, we don't. T_T

I wanted to point out that the procs Piercing Blades/Blade Hurricane will take into account the damage buff of the Kino if the original ability worked with the Kino.
This is because other procs, such as Thorned Roots or the GF's Jagged Blades, don't factor in the Fured Kino buff.
(I checked Thorned Roots while using Hindering Strike, it was a no go.)
Nice gear, I've got the offensive ring, and the furry bear chest, will probably go for the boots in makos store that give 3% damage when your stami a is full, as mine is always full when I attack as archer anyway in PvP.
Arms and hat wise, still not sure. I like my primal arms with the power stacks, and the rex hat. Might change them for pvp though. Maybe manticore mane and erm er something.
Anyone know if a) 2 rings of offensive action stack, and b) do gravestriker/offensive ring bonuses work on pets i.e.. giving you the bonus rather than the pet.?
And I guess 3% more damage doesn't equal about 1500-2000 power... because when in a group with power sharers, when you have a stupid amount of power, the 3% would be calculated off your damage with that stupid amount of power included..?
Yes, atm I can confirm the gravestriker does work on companions. Not sure how long until they fix it or if it is even on their radar atm, Like the bugged primal rings were.
Nice, I tried the offensive action one on my pet, doesn't work.
Also apparantly 2 offensive action rings don't stack when equipped on yourself. Depending on whether this is intended, or a bug like the primal ring bonuses last mod (2 equipped on self not pet) I guess it might get fixed at some point, or not.
Trash clearing - combat sw with lightning/fey (probably lightning by a smidge).
Boss - some say sw, some say pf - personally I go with pf for careful attack - with fey.
To be honest, unless you're an absolute min/maxer or so rich that it ain't no big thing to have 2 weapon sets and 2 weapon enchants, it doesn't really matter.
I just slot vorpal for everything and call it good enough.
I have a unp fey and got trans lightning yesterday.
So far been switching during T9Gs and I still think the Fey outperforms lightning even vs mobs.
I think it has to do with how good OPs AoC is and Fey buffs that. Maybe if I ran without the OP I might see lightning do better but who would wanna run without an OP?
Yeah I think I might be selling the trans lightning lmao

If you wish to be technical, Feytouch's "% of wpn dmg" procs will likely be affected in the same way the devs said they wish to adjust Lightning.
However, I have not seen or read any blog posts in which the devs have flat out said "we plan to adjust the Feytouched damage buff". Since the main appeal of Feytouched is its damage buff, you can rest assured that Fey will be fine in Mod13.

Feytouched is the best enchantment but vorpal is fine and a lot cheaper so I stick to perfect vorpal.
