Do we have to look for a new weapon enchantment?

Hi guys.
With bonding changes we will loose great amount of crit. Especially combat path, which trades crit chance for crit severity.
With these changes in mind, do we have to look for another, not crit-based enchantment? If yes, then which one? Feytouched seem to be bugged on HR.

Some are saying to move back to augment companion and eldritch?
I dunno, I swapped from trans vorp to trans fey, hated the bugginess of it - it bugs on many of our powers, and bugs things like magistrates consideration, lolset procs and very probably any other dots that proc off weapon damage related conditions. Swapped back to trans vorp again. Basically because it's so simple in its effect there's nothing to bug.
I'll prop my crit up, and keep it. Or maybe have a look at bile, since things will die slowly enough for it to be useful maybe, or the new bronzewood.
Not sure I can summon the energy though tbh. This nerf is a nerf too far.
On the positive side it seems seekers vengeance and rnk4 pack is fixed on preview so... yay.
considering how easy is to test it, i really cant trust it.
by the way my forum report about feytouch was noticed and its on their radar...which means nothing.
eventually (for pve) lightning may be a choice.
i will stick with vorpal
I might drop gambit and add an erinyes. If combat advantage counts as critsev anyway, then I've had too much for a long time. 185% is supposed to be about best, and I've had about 200% or so for ages. If I swap some azures into my pet post nerf I should hit 85-90% crit chance again.
My power will take a hit though
One bonus for trans vorp users though, the next rank only gives another 5% critsev, so screw that, mine can stay the way it is.
even at 185 critical sev, 5% should account for 2% more damage
So you say we should go full crit first and place azures on our companions to get decent amount of crit?
And recently I upgraded all my brutals to 12 on my companion. Sweet
Seekers being fixed will go a long way to helping out the power deficit. 19% damage bonus equals roughly 8000 power. I'll try get that new artifact with the 50% bonus damage too.
Fixed Seekers will work with melee attacks?
Example for myself. ATM on live I have w/food & pots 172% crit sev and 33.9% CA bonus which equals out to 205.9% combined.
Using http://janne.coreside.com/mechanics/crit-ca adding in an additional 50% crit sev would net me a 16.33% dps increase. Where as Fey is 18% + multiplies with other buffs making it the strongest option for Combat HR's atm. I have been using Trans Fey the last few weeks and It works out much better for me as long as I don't bug it out.
Sources of Crit sev & CA dmg:
Skirmishers Gambit Feet: 50%
Sleet Skills, Boon: 2%
Dragon’s Fury 3/3, Boon: 8%
Fiery Frenzy, Boon: 2%
Wild Storm Elixir: 10%
Superior flask of Potency: 7.5%
Grand Summer Feast: 2.5% or Squash Soup: 5%, cant stack both of these foods
Adorable Pocket Pet: 5%
Erinyes of Belial: 10% or Cambion Magus: 10%, rarely will people run both.
Combat Advantage bonus
Diminishing returns over 1200
Base: 15%
Drow Ambush Tactics: 10% CA dmg bonus
Mount Insignia, of Skill: 100 ea
Artifacts @ Mythic: 600 ea, Horn of Valhalla, Heart of the Blue Dragon, Kessell’s Sphere, Black Ice Beholder, Sigil of the Trickster & Lantern of Revelation
Encroaching Tactics: 400
Demonic Influence: 400
What will be better in 12.5 since we can't stack all of our elixirs that we can now. Will Wild Storms or Fate be better?
@jonkoca, what new arti?
Soul Sight Crystal.
1000 Power/1000 Lifesteal/600 Control Bonus.
If you apply it to a target, for the next 10 seconds, your attacks gain 1.5x damage versus the Soul Sighted Target.
Functions similarly to the GF's Knight's Challenge: use it well and prepare burn the boss within the time allotted.
Your screen will also turn photo-negative like this:
In addition, a white circle will be pulsing from the Soul Sighted Target, making it easy to spot who you're supposed to attack for massive damage.
---
So far, from what I've tried with it, it mercifully works with Plant Growth, Gushing Wound, Blade Hurricane, and Piercing Blades, but oddly doesn't work with Thorned Roots or Careful Attack.
Feybug is legit to use now? All problems with entity powers fixed?
> When considering to use vorpal or not you need to do a little math to see how much of a gain it is. Assuming you have 100% crit rate add your total Crit Sev with your total CA bonus then look at Jannes spreadsheet to get the actual % increase the vorpal will add.

Are you sure Drow Ambush Tactics is 10% more CA damage bonus?
Born of Black Wind: SW Level 80
I dunno. With vorpal I have too much critsev. 190 base, up to 230 plus with pots and combat advantage.
I think for pve I'm gonna keep the vorpal, and drop gambit to prop up my crit chance. If I add an erinyes, I should be back up around 185 critsev and high 80s critchance. 90+50vorp+25ca+10pot+10erinyes = 185.
Finding it hard to care really, with the bonding nerf etc. For 12b I'll probably grab myself a soul seer arti, level that up, and spend the rest of the time in PvP on my TR alt.
and with carefull attack able to proc enchantments again it may become the bis choice
I swear, Feytouched was being kept in check by all of its stupid bugs.
Now that it actually isn't bugged, I can see UP Fey rekting UP Vorpal most circumstances...
Btw. You guys think that Dread still will be bis for trapper?
