Question about the Paragons.
Hi, I started trying to play all the classes and rolls to get a much deeper feeling of the game. I find my joy in being useful and "carry" my team to victory, via dps, control, support, you name it, even if I go uncredit for.
When I first started playing I told my playing mates I would never try a HR, however, after reading about the class, I can say I am very intrigued by the stance switching and potentially devastating power of a HR.
I am mainly focused on PvE team play. But I do intend to do a bit of PvP if just for the new good rewards. I think we can all agree "solo" play is a thing of the past incoming Mod 6 and the "dailies" zones being more difficult requiring weaksauces (like my new HR) to group up.
Which Paragon you think contributes the most to a party? I can't decide between Slasher's Mark + Careful Attack VS Stormstep Action + Disruptive Shot/Forest Ghost.
PS: I am decided on the Trapper path. And yes, I already looked around here for guides and tips but as someone already said in another post, most stuff is outdated. What charms me the most about the class is the feeling that it has a very high learning curve, that can also be potentially very rewarding.

Thing is, out of the many tips I have read, one pointed that its never the add-fest that makes or breaks your party, its the Boss fight. With this in mind I don't worry too much about the AoE aspect of any of my chars, as I would be making a difference of clearing a mob pack in 3 seconds or 2.5 seconds, 10 seconds or 9 seconds, etc. However, single target/survival is another thing.
Hence my inner debate boils down to what I mentioned in the OP, but I guess both can be good at single target/survival. With Pathfinder I guess you get more passive defense, and with Stormwaden you get more active defense in the form of CC.
I think I will settle for Stormwarden, currently my HR sits at lv 20 (Drow), but once it hits lv 60/70, and gets at least a T2 or T3 set, I will create a Wood Elf for Pathfinder, taking into account how Stormwarden and Drow are more offensive oriented while Pathfinder and Wood Elf are more defense oriented.
EDIT: By BI you mean Black Ice? What set is DT btw?
Your future? "Blood, Toil, Sweat and Tia's"
Thank you, DT set doesn't appear on the NW wiki, and after more reading about the future of "sets" on Mod 6 (and onwards) I guess there isn't that incentive for me anymore to complete them.
I guess you mean leveling and gearing 2 HR will be painful? Heh, I am sure it might be a bit tedious and difficult, but I bet nothing beats Turtle GF... NOTHING. I am looking forward to the difficult aspect, it will erase all boringness of the tedious aspect.
Stormstep action does remain useful even on a trapper, because you don't always reach 100% cooldown refreshment on your rotations. Stormstep guarantees it when you combine it with Disruptive Shot. It's particularly useful in PvP.

Is that new gear bought with the new seals or plain old gold from the NPCs at Protector's Enclave? (Seven Sun Market I think its called)
