So due to be on Xbox, I'm not there yet, but I'd like to know for those who tested different paths, what is overall the best spec in regards to damage output? I understand specific fights one may outperform another, but which one keeps up and outperforms more often?

I'm going to be at work so I thank you in advance for your input

    I still think Trapper is best all around damage for pve/pvp combat is PVP only build as I can tell but that's my opinion

    For me the hybrid build Combat/Trapper is the better one and is usable in both PVE/PVP environements

    I have yet to see any other path out Dps trapper in PVE I do see a few Trapper Sws do a little better than my HR Pathfinder but I can hang right there with SW and GWF in top DPS and build is set for PVP and PVE mix so not maxed either way

    What is the advantage stormwarden have over pathfinder in Mod 10?
  • rayrdanrayrdan Member Posts: 5,410 Arc User
    Since you now have to use at will as trapper, they better be somewhat good.. Stormwarden has better at will in general

    If a Trapper using AotS, you should have always been using at-wills. 3 encounters + 1 at-will will max your stacks. Or 2 + 2.

    Ha ha you would not believe how many times I have told people that.... Most of the old Builds also neglected to mention this so I had to point it out a few times and people amended their Guides/Rotations etc a little :)

    No. Most of trapper damage was coming from thorned roots. Land carefull attack and enjoy full ranged AotS stacks for several seconds. Thorned roots damage is and was considered ranged. Sadly people complained about this carefull attack interaction as a bug when in reality was only helping

    Clear the ground is a good at will, split the sky is amazing in places like tiamat, dragonflight etc, where a lot of people get damaged all of a sudden, and the final daily, cyclone of blades or something, is great on dragons too. Strictly PVE though.

    For once i really dont know which spec to pick... I only tried combat until now and even if it seems really good in pvp it feels so slown and under performing in every other scenario.. I m probably going sw trapper tonight

    I wish the changes were on the xbox already so I could play around with it :(

    On a different note I fully upgraded my Orcus set today so good bye LoL set forever :)

    Actually seeing some damage spikes and it is hard to tell exactly how much damage the Set is applying with or crappy combat log. Took me 3hrs to shuffle everything around to make up for the lost Arm Pen etc.

    I bought and refined the set too. Nothing special, 7% more damage than with lostmauth
  • aaramis75aaramis75 Member Posts: 348 Arc User
    7% is 7%. I'd take it; every little bit counts.

    Grats on the update WD :)

    I grinded for the set rather than buy it, like I have done most things in the game :)

    I actually have no idea how the set bonus actually works, I can probably find the info if I search for it, The description is a bit vague lol.

    Thank you :)

    LoL set bonus is awful for a HR ever since the Nerf. With 2 Legendary Twisted Weapons it just procs for 900-1300... As I have mentioned before Magistrates Mount Bonus procs for more than that for me. I don't miss the set bonus and my damage has not dropped off in the slightest. Had to change equipment and lose a fair bit of Crit unfortunately.

    Have to work on that.

    your over all Dps is down to los of Crit and other stats so you have an over all loss as a trapper pf don't know about other paths lols set is good with over all total due to stats of set not Bonus of set especially in pvp

    Try hybrid can play in a lot of different ways very fun in both pvp and pve, still discovering new stuff about it every day I play :-).

    I dont know about that.... I have an Owlbear in my actives and it procs decently. I aim for 50% Crit before any buffs/procs. Then my heavy attacks with AotS attacks generally Crit... whilst my weaker attacks with no stacks of AotS sometimes do not crit... Therefore making things like Steel Breeze and Hindering Shot much stronger (if they do not Crit).

    Kind of like I am hoping for Crits and non-Crits in my build/rotations with AotS making this much easier. I do not want 100% Crit, I only need my big attacks to Crit.

    I have tried every set of arti combos and over all dps with ELOS set still is about 3 % better than next set playing as a HR Pathfinder so its not that big a difference no matter what u use but with 105% crit I get 100k strikes on hindering in ACT but im using trans dread and Careful Attack still rocks the DPS if buffed correctly. Since mod 10 MY HR rocks top of DF and Tia charts most of the time once I got the bugs out of the build
  • rayrdanrayrdan Member Posts: 5,410 Arc User
    well no the orcus set is still better than elol one.
    by far..it just costs a lot
  • dmcewendmcewen Member Posts: 279 Arc User
    @rayrdan Is the orcus set 7% more damage overall or just 7% more damage than elol set?

    7% more damage than the eLoL set is very insignificant. 7% more than the ~5% of your damage isn't even 500k gain in most dungeons if that's the case.

    you should have just swapped out the lol belt with a dex belt, to get 2 more dex(4dex total) instead of 2 str,2dex from lol belt.
