What class stat are you using on your off-hand?

I had Combat Advantage before I realised I had way too much of it. So the way I see it there is Stamina Regen and possibly Control Resist. Regen would be largely useless as I have zero of it atm, same with AP Gain. Pls discuss.

    for me ;
    Combat Advantage in PvE , control resist when in PvP , AP gain is useless for a trapper , but it is an option if you are archer/combat .

    for me;
    Combat Advantage still best (for both PVE/PVP), I never would consider its way too much, its what I want it to be!
    By the way Control Resist can be a good alternate, just not for me as I use Transcendent Elven Battle, but if you rather use the Negation then it´s what I would go for, Stamina Regen/AP Gain I consider them both inferior compared the other two, just my 2 cents.

    I play trapper with AotP, I used to go CA, but apparently it actually has a hard cap (800 or so) before it gives basically nothing, and it's really fast, so now I go Stamina Regen. Btw, AotP is the best dps feature right now, it just requires a niche build (bump Dex/Cha every level with a good starting score in Wis, end up with good crit (~30%) and a massive dps boost from constant CA). It also offers the benefit of increasing party dps, which is always helpful.

    The 'cap' for secondary stats is 8% (1000 is 8.1%) I'm told. My Combat Advantage damage bonus rating was 9.8% (1864) which I have now brought down to 1000 (CA boon from IWD and Lantern of Revelation).

    My Archery build is very much centered around CA and Crit. Aspect of the Pack has been our best class feature for a couple of mods now. My CHA stat is only 13 atm but have been considering for quite some time now to reroll my ability scores to drop some STR and up my CHA.

    I may end up taking Stamina Regen on OH as more is always beneficial.

    Okay that's what I thought. Yeah I will also update my combat guide I just posted to reflect my own changes with Cha. I'm also gonna write up a pure glass cannon archery build that dips into combat for skirmisher's gambit. I tried it on preview before Mod 6 launched and I had lots of fun. I think it should reach around ~80% crit chance, maybe +200% crit severity (?), and hopefully plenty of power recovery and arpen too. Should be fun!
