Learn to read tooltips. You can change it to any of the 5 at-wills that the HR class has (over both paragons). Go to "Manage Artifact Powers".
Mainhand artifact power now works the same as offhand.
You need to buy cube of augmentation from Wondrous bazaar to unlock additional artifact power. It costs 4x12.5k AD = 50k AD per unlock and it will unlock randomly 1 of locked powers.
Then it will cost 5k AD whenever you change your artifact power.
Looks like some people can't answer a question without trying to make people feel stupid. Nice. Hope you feel better about yourself, ralexinor.
Anyhow, I play a stormwarden, got my elemental fire longbow today, and the only buff unlocked on it was for careful attack/hunter's teamwork. I think they just give you the least useful thing so you'll pay AD in the hopes of getting a more useful buff.
Additionally - it kind of sucks anyway. I have a legendary golden dragon's tooth now, the difference is so small that levelling enchantments is where you're going to see your biggest improvements. The elemental fire offhand is plainly better than the golden dragon offhand, but I'm not trading millions of RP for an extra 300 points of damage, and more AD for boons I already have unlocked on my current weapons. I might consider the slight upgrade during a double RP weekend but that all depends what we're actually getting for refinement points when we drop our old legendary artifact weapons into the new greens. Is it actually 80% so I can get to legendary or VERY close to it on double RP, or is it this 40% I've been hearing about? If the latter is the case I'll just be binning this piece of garbage and focusing on enchants and other artifact gear.

Hooray RNG smiled on me for a change as I got Rapid at-will on my Elemental bow! I am waiting for double RP event to upgrade my new artifact weapons. I'd be using them now had the enhancement slot on the bow been open at green. If I get it to blue (refining green drops and pearls into it in my inventory) before the event I'll obviously use them then but not just yet.
Our pain is self chosen.
The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
I got lucky with my OH and the crushing roots + control bonus.
Unfortunately I had to spend 200k on my MH to unlock rapid shot, ugh.
I am glad that they did randomize it, on preview every time, it was cruel recovery LOL.
Do you notice any effect difference in control strength from crushing control bonus? or is it also not working on roots still ?Same for disruptive shot (only one I know that was effected by control strength so far)?
Anyone mouse over thier bow and check that the class powers do not even work as there is no number, it just says it affects your powers by %. All of my bows artifact power bonuses say % with no number making it have zero special attribute. Longbow of Elemental fiire is just a blank bow with some stats and sockets and thats it.

For some reasons, on the 'manage artifact power' window, there is no actual number on those powers. But when you choose one, and apply it to your main/offhand, it will display the bonus number. For example, 2% damage bonus on rapid shot/strike.
