    Re: regen and TRs. My toons a high regen high deflect build. Nasty bile/perma tr tonight in pvp, but I could pretty much stay on the node in the thornward and take everything he threw at me, though I admit I did chug a few pots. We stalemated. Wasn't using careful attack, but I do use plaguefire.

    I hate careful attacks lack of a better melee option, rapid strikes better, imo.
    No idea what my toon is now.

    Has anyone tested if Bilethorn has synergistic effects with Careful Attack similar to how Plaguefire activates Careful Attack? Bilethorn hurts a TR's stealth the most compared to the other enchantments. I haven't played my HR much but if Thorn Ward procs weapon enchants, it could also be used as a tool to shave stealth off a TR, along with Split the Sky for Stormwardens.

    Hmmm. Great question, I will test this enchant also. Thank you for sharing.

    i did. so it still ticks once every 1.5 sec. Basically even if your discoverings are really good they dont make briartwine needed :(

    Well I guess this depends on a few things which I have yet to have answers for. When a TR goes into stealth unless you track them, get close enough to target them, then their stealth meter has a full duriation while they attack you. However if you wear a Briartwine Enchantment, every attack they make causes damage to themselves, depleting their stealth. Additionally if they are marked Careful Attack will proc and damage them further, depleting stealth once more.

    What I don't know for sure is 2 things.

    Are they still marked while in stealth? And, if they hit you with DF or PoTB will that reflected damage hurt their stealth meter (with the skill that reduces stealth damage) enough to be worth it?

    I did. No the 4 seconds lag for ticks are way to much

    Yes they are still marked but they dont take damage. Briartwine doesnt work

    Small newsflash, the cw class artifact hits trs, even if they're stealthed, and stuns them to boot, get one now.
    No idea what my toon is now.
