Looking at just the numbers, I don't think orcus set will outperform the dex belt + company duelist cloak for trapper or combat. Maybe if the fix the orcus set to work with all of the powers that combat Hrs use but we all know that isn't going to happen.
First of all, Orcus doesn't work with CA and company cloak will. Even now the difference between Orcus set and Dex belt is small and situational. With this cloak incoming I guess it will be a massive boost. But I don't think we actually need it. We do pretty good damage already and being more powerful will make people calling for nerfs for HR. I already can't stans the moanin of how this class is too powerful.
@wizardlvl80#5963 I completely agree. High end ranger have a lot of damage potential if played correctly and a nerf would primarily affect the low end ranger that struggle to do damage.
Aye, with the dex belt and combat pf at 4k-ish, if the gwf isn't entirely bis, I'm keeping up and going past depending on the content and how well I'm playing. And there are better HRs than me knocking around.
Apparently they're masterworks anyway, which means a gazzilion AD so lol, back to orcus again.
Apparently, we were 'fixed' in class balancing not so long ago, so for some time we are safe the way we are. Given all bugs I found so far (~107) there are still more negative ones that actually decrease our damage. However equipment like this will contribute on making even higher gap in damage and I can hardly find that intentional given current multiclassial balance.
i didn't see them in collections in masterworks. I havent' been able to find the new cloaks ANYWHERE.. are they masterworks? I kind of hate masterworks lol. they made the bar too high. clothing items should not be MILLIONS lol.
I really hope so, because I finally refined the orcus set on Friday (kept the dex belt though thank god) and have been massively underwhelmed. So will buy the dex/wis neck asap, and chuck both the orcus neck and belt into it.
you all say the orcus set is bugged with many HR powers: while this may be true i invite you to not trust bug reports without evidence. When i report a bug there are always proofs...the bug thread in the wild is really lacking of evidences.
to name few examples: i would like to know how orcus set not working with gushing wounds/carefull attack was tested. or how seeker's vengeance not working with melee powers.
I couldn't tell what rank market you need for the gear. However, given that it's related to the Guild Armor (Company Armor), I would assume you only need a lowly market 2 to access the Company cloaks/belts.
Also, before everyone rides the "OMG Duelist cloak is amazing 1337" train, I just realized the Company Executioner Cloak gives DEX/CHA and Recovery instead of Deflect.
I suck at HRs and am too lazy to look it up what CHA does for HRs, but I'm sure you guys will figure out what the extra CHA is useful for.
Charisma gives 1% companion stat bonus and 1% combat advantage damage.
From what I understand- At 100% crit chance with 100% uptime on CA, 1% CA damage= 1% crit severity. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not really sure if CA damage from ability scores works any different.
As trapper I find duelist better since recovery is useless with my build while deflect gives some power via insignia bonus - and some defensive addition about which I'm not too thrilled about honestly. As combat or archery however I would consider using company executioner if I would decide not to go with Orcus set.

With the fixed weapon damage on Preview all of those are stupidly easy to test, now. It literally takes a minute to check out for yourself.

We have looked into reports of players experiencing connection problems and have been unable to identify any server, data center, or client-side issues. We believe this may be ISP related.
I don't need the Recovery, always kept a decent amount. I will go for the Deflect, I could use more but not dependent of it.
For PvP, I am high power, recovery, then Crit using AotF and CR. With PG working properly, I had great results this past weekend. Almost went back to Combat but it is boring how fast toons melt.

I can now confirm that this is indeed the case. I was able to purchase it with only a level 2 marketplace. Sitting on +5 dexterity now! (I only have a purple dex belt for the moment). Can't wait to see what this does for my damage.
> @rayrdan said: > got the dex belt and the new cloak, new boots and head piece but im probably going to wait the next 2x to gain back what i can from the orcus set
I'd like a new head too, is whatever it is you have better power-wise than jarl's gaze..? I'm at the point where now I'm just a huge power-stacking monster.
> got the dex belt and the new cloak, new boots and head piece but im probably going to wait the next 2x to gain back what i can from the orcus set
What boots and head piece are you talking about?
the ones from mystrious mercant, cant remember the names... the boots that gives you defense as bonus (power/crit/defense) and the head piece with 2k power as bonus. i run nothing else than cn and ndemo so jarl's gaze is out of reach
