Or alternatively, spec archer, go full dps build glass cannon, and enjoy yourself. Seriously, I'm enjoying pvp more now, it's like pvp used to be before mod3, fast and dirty.
Why so serious..?
The whole survival/dot thing bored the hell out of me.
Initially I went into Mod 4 pvp with the same set-up and playstyle as Mod 3 Archer and I failed miserably. I have since switched out the 2 Noble Beast rings for the Pegasus ones, dropped Thorn Ward and Constricting for Hindering and Binding, and now I just unload as much damage as I can as quickly as possible before I die. I get my good days but ultimately I find it a boring playstyle. There is no trying to out-think your opponent anymore, just kill him before you die. I preferred the 30-second skirmishes with CWs or GWFs, now fights last 5 seconds max. I. Hate. It. There is just too much damage in pvp now, it's like tenacity is pointless and useless. Granted I haven't tried pvp in my pve gear and I wonder if I'd be worse off if I did. Tenacity was supposed to prolong fights, but the problem is that fights are shorter now than ever before.
Our pain is self chosen.
The most important thing in life is to be yourself. Unless you can be Batman. Always be Batman.
Personal taste I suppose, but I liked the old pre-mod3 days of lethal pvp. I liked the survival build, but hated its low damage. And I'm happy to have MR back on the bar, so I can out manoever things again, especially with no more 20% runspeed set bonus.
Burst damage survival wise, last night I rebuilt around head/arms purified BI armor. And added restoring and tempered enchants. If something does hit me hard, I get 11000 more hitpoints' time to do something about it.
So I tested out the StormWarden Archery DPS..
It looks my best rotation for PVE (after tank gets aggro) is going to be: RoA to proc predator, then rapid shot while prey is active (better than aimed shot because of the ticks from other things like Plaguefire).
However, I haven't parsed combat logs, so if anyone can say whether or not other encounters add more DPS to a rotation than just the RoA/RapidShot combo, please acknowledge.
Edit: I ran ACT combat logs last night: Aimed shot is better DPS if you can spam it, and the encounters Fox Shift, Mauraders Rush, and Rain of Swords do add more total DPS than just RoA and Aimed shot.
Seems like my rotation hasn't changed from Mod3 at all...

I believe this is the best way for HR in PVE, since we dont have any CC ability, full dps is all we can provide.
And, I been playing PVP with StormWarden full Archery for a while.
I found its also very powerful in PVP, if u play well.
I use rapid shot / aimed shot(against tanky GF and GWF only)
Since right now, PVP like FPS game, shot everything as quick as u can. the other power are too slow to fire.
This like a AK47, rapid bullets to your target.
And try to save ur action point and distrupt shot for CW, once they see u, they will CC u and u die.
so before that, disruptive shot is the only thing u can buy like 1 secs to fire your other power. save it for CW.
For survie, dont try to cap point unless you kill all enemies, always hide behind your team member, let them be ur shield.
once no one stand between u can enemies, ud better run back.
distance is the only protection u have.
The result will be you may lose the game, but u get lots of kills and very low death.
I would love feedback on two HR issues I am having since mod4 went in.
1) My HR is stuck in perma 'combat crouch' long after battle, even around campfires and even in PE. This just started after mod4 and has been the case everyday since. It is pathetic to have to lope along like Quasimodo. It also affects the speed of running away as she is not really running more like a hopping scuttle.
2) There is a huge white hourglass that hovers right in front of my target in combat and it is really hard to see around.
I did fill out bug reports in game on both these issues, but does anyone else have these? I have looked in bug report forums as much as possible and can't find anyone else mentioning the above problems. Therefore I am posting here hoping for some feedback.

I agree most sincerely, as I've been submitting a ticket every day since mod 4 was released and I have yet to receive a response. I officially give up on this game, as it "broke" on me before I could even get my first character to lvl 60. I was incredibly excited and wasn't going to spend money until I got that far. Oh well, at least I get to keep my money now
Has anyone else noticed that which paragon you pick is now largely irrelevant if you're an Archer? I find that all my encounters and at-wills are the core powers as the paragon options are all inferior now. Likewise the feats. The only difference is class features and since you need to run AotLW for a little extra survivability you're talking about a single paragon pick.

Same thing is wrong with my HR. Im out in Icewind Dale..sittin on my but because i cannot commit my powers and cannot keep my feats committed. I posted a bug report and requested gm help since the patch. Nothing fixed. I got an email saying the are going to look at it. That was days ago.
Be mindful not to complain or spam about the cheaters, explopioters, and spammers. You will get warned and banned. Punish the legit, promote the illegit.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem, though I imagine all HR's should have this problem. I just can't believe their lack of feedback. Mod 4 has been nothing but problems for this game and so many people have quit playing because of Cryptic's ridiculous notion to tweak our classes and add-on to the areas. I've never seen so much lag in a game, it's to the point where I can't even start a new character because knox freezes on me. The list of bugs mod 4 released into this amazing game blows my mind. I can't stand it anymore
Am I the only one who got stuck in a bug? After Mod 4 they "respecd" my character, except now I can't input any paragon feats into my tree. When I click on "commit changes", nothing gets committed/saved. I've submitted multiple tickets but so far nobody is contacting me and I can't find anyone else on this forum who has stumbled upon this weird "bug"
Would it be too much to ask for a GM to message my account and help me out?
This happened to me on preview a few times. I fixed it by purchasing a repsec token and respeccing. If you're willing to spend 300 zen to try this you might be back in business.

Yes. I feel the same way. I do stay Pathfinder just for the times I respec combat for pvp.

Why on earth would I want to spend 300 zen to fix a problem the developer's caused .. ? I don't even HAVE 300 zen, nor the appropriate AD necessary to respect.
I'm still waiting on a GM to contact me personally

Well I would spend 300 zen without hesitation to get back to playing my HR the way I want to play him.
It's a bug that they should fix no doubt about it. You should not have to pay zen to fix it, but I couldn't wait on them if I was in your shoes.
I have never had this happen on live, so I'm not sure if it would even work the same way it did on preview, but chances are it will work.

I can wait. In fact, I'm not going to play anymore. This bug lost them a lot of money I would have spent on my character. Maybe I'll get on again sometime and see they've fixed it and level myself up to sixty. But there's no way they're getting any of my money after this

They did make some largish changes to the graphics rendering so it may be you need to tweak your settings?

Absolutely impossible. My settings are on minimal. Both of the sliders are all the way to the left. I already checked
