Mhoram's HR Archery Spec

This my "main", and the only character that I keep 100% up to date with boons and equipment. Until they release another class that I can really get into, it will likely stay that way. I have went back and forth with this build. Tried about everything you can think of. This build works for both PvE and can also work in PvP (just swap gear). The point is to stay back, move around a LOT, and you get maximum damage the farther you are from a target. I have lots of other companions, reduced threat, more def. This is what I started with, and after no less than 30 respecs I ended back up at.

      This thread has been split from another thread.
      (Update: thread moved to Wilds. A simple PM to me would have revealed that it was split from a thread in Gameplay and was left behind there by mistake, instead of jumping to conclusions and violating the rules. Goodness sake, chill folks!)

      Nice build, I have to ask, why didn't you choose Elvish Fury and Rampaging Madness Boons?, I felt that those 2 improved my damage considerably, also, wouldn't be better to use Split the Sky instead Constricting Arrow (In PvE I don't see much use) and replace Nature's Grasp (almost imperceptible effect) for Stormcaller's Arrow?.

      However, very good HR!!!, mine isn't so good yet :).

      I'm not a big fan of Aimed in PvE soloing, or trash phase as you call it. It gets disrupted way too often to be of any use. With GWFs around mobs you aim for often end up dead before you get to fire a shot.
      And I'd run AotP instead of AotLW in team PvE. Let your party enjoy the buff as well. Falcon has it's use, but to be honest, I prefer to hang around with the cleric/CW in dungeons. I like to be IN the blue/yellow circles. Another reason to run AotP at the very least. Bladestorm would be a good 2nd to run. I use AotF in PvE solo only really, to buy me some time before the mob is on me. Just my 2 cents of course.

      I rarely use aimed shot, mainly just for single targeting bosses. That's the rapid/aimed. Mainly rapid shot.

      These days I'm running about 17.7 GS, 9800 power, 1300 lifesteal. Not much else has changed. All rank 10's, yadda yadda.

      Like I said, this is a pure archery spec. Which we'll get to re-do here once Mod 4 comes out. Yay!

      I rely on Endless Consumption, it's a must have for me as I'm never near anyone else and it keeps me at full health. I'd rather lose a little DPS and gain the ability to play as I want and not die.

      I will once we all get to re-do our specs here in about a month. For now I just say use what you like. The encounters I use I posted above, though I don't use Fox's much anymore. Replaced that with M. Escape. I toy around in T1 and T2 with pretty much everything, it keeps it entertaining.

      Easy, I use all of them. I've stated what I use, for what & when. Real answer, I'm lazy. I'll get around to updating this post once Mod 4 rolls around.

      For the new spec, I believe I'm going straight across the top of the archery tree, undecided as of yet.

      This is strictly a PvE character, I'd do a totally different build and race if I wanted an HR PvP character. I've been a GWF node holding troll since beta for PvP, goes by the name of Cail.

      I like your spec simple and clean... Just a few questions....

      1. Skills I figure Dex > Str? > Con?.... not really sure

      2. Recommened stats? Power =
      Crit = minimum amount
      ArP = Minimum amount
      REcovery = Minimum amount
      or are there other stats I should try and work towards as well as what to gem for.

      3. Last am I able to get some of your gear without questing?

      Thanks again and really like it

      Interested to know how you got your Defence rating to over 3k using your set-up. I haven't got armor kits yet but I'm considering bucking the trend and going for the +100 Defence kits to boost my rating.

      @lirithel well f he is using 3 personalized items on him and 3 on stone... with belt, chest, off hand and pants... thats 10 defensive enchant slots... obviously r10s

      easy to get 3.3k defense.... whats astonishing is getting the 3k defense with 33k hp and the 11k power. So he should be using around 7-8 r10 azures for that so just 2-3 r10 radiants, which makes him havig to use some hp jewelry thus making the 11k power a..... lol wut?

      its possible though as if i had all r10s and 250 power rings id hit 12k power.

      What i dont understand is why he isnt using arti cloak... say with lathander the 8 ac is worth 4 r10 azures in defense, whichcould be hp thus changing the rings for more power....

      It's simple. To me (and it's just how I play) Offense + Defense slot : Offense + Utility slot.

      And yep, two rings and a belt on my stone of might.

      I guess u mean: "It's simple. To me (and it's just how I play) Offense + Defense slot > Offense + Utility slot"

      If thats what u mean, arti cloak still provides more gs than an extra defensve slot plus the artifact bonus itself..... like i said +8ac is woth around 4 r10 azures worth of DR, which could be HP or deflect.... which ever u prefer. U can just ignore the utility slot, or get more ms.

      Yep, that's what I meant. Lack of sleep will do that to a guy.

      I don't see the point in artifact cloaks, +8AC or not. I appreciate it though, I might reconsider if one ever comes out that I'd actually want.

      Aha! I wanted to know if any HRs were going this path instead of stacking power, power, power. My defence is rather low at 1.5k (DL set) so I was thinking about the four Defence armor kits to boost it some. I also don't have JC levelled at all yet.

      I went through the whole Power, Power, Power. I like being well rounded much better.

      It might not make sense, but in order to up your Damage (PVE) you need to lower your DPS. Otherwise everything is just chasing you around, and you might die.

      I'm comfortable in the mid teens DPS wise, with the stats I have. No reason to get up to 14-15K Power imho. Plus if you have a CW with Presto and some other buffing classes you'll get that high power anyway during a dungeon (yes, I still run dungeons for fun. It's my favorite thing about this game).

      I can swap to 2/2 BI and 2/2 Profound and do just fine in PvP, I just swap enchants and rings around from my stone to me, and slots around. Stay at about 8K power with about 34K HP and everything else stays about the same.

      But, I rarely PvP on this guy. If I want to PvP I use a character built exactly for that. This is a PvE build.
