There are aboout a half dozen encounters that trigger the set power. Unlike other root powers, there doesn't seem to be an animation associated with it, but an icon does appear at the top of the screen letting you know its active. The cooldown also seems to be closer to 30 seconds. Be aware too that the roots do not seem…

It's not just you. I just tested it and I'm getting 7 sec and 11 sec, respectively, without and with Master Trapper active (see below). Even though I don't have the massive CC bonus you have, my wisdom gives me +14%, my offhand bonus +5%, so my roots should last at least 8 and 12 seconds respectively (assuming all the…

Bugged roots? How so?

Although you don't need two characters to get to IWD, you do need two characters who can access IWD to get the quest that gives you the class artifacts.

What he said. Unless, that is, 260 glory is twice what I would have earned coming in first on the winning GG side (granted, only a 7-minute match, but still)

I use TW, HS and RoA or marauder's, HS and RoA/TW depending on whether it is safe to stand by the boss or better to be able to move about. In ELoL I throw FS into the mix for the dodge. I like hitting the boss with the odd aimed strike for the DoT life steal you don't get from roots because of the cc immunity
-
The ancient thorned roots work really well since the rework, if I do say so myself (you're welcome for the suggestion, by the by). I use hindering, constricting and marauders as my default pve encounters. I can not only keep mobs more-or-less controlled as I move in and out of melee, but I can also heal any damage I do…

I'm a PF trapper and I use a 2/2 combo of Iliyanbruen/Draconic. I tried out a crit overkill (base 2183) Iliy/GW combo, but, despite low power, I preferred the balanced boosts the Iliy/Drac combo gives to key stats like crit, AP, recovery, defence and deflect. I thought about switching to RG, but since the rework to SotF I…

I've tested it out: with Master Trapper you get an 11-second hold that inflicts 200% weapon damage/sec
-
Either I am the exception or it is inaccurate to say that they unlock in a set order. The default power that came with mine was SSA, followed by Lone Wolf and then some stormwarden class feature that I couldn't use. Even if it did unlock in a particular order, by far the more annoying part is that you get stuck with a…
-
So I bought some cubes of augmentation to unlock and test different class-feature boosts on the off-hand weapon to make up for the fact that the random assignment gave me an unusable power. Much to my annoyance, the randomly assigned boost were again unusable for my character. Again, I get, but don't like, the random…

Bug: I tested this out just now and thorned roots were still working along mod-4 lines (ie 500% over life of roots). They also don't seem to be benefiting from control strength (ie the damage was distributed over 7 secs even while master trapper was active). I was using a combat dummy as a test, so there shouldn't have…

In another thread one of the devs (or moderators can't remember) confirmed that the 250% immediate damage against CC immune targets would not change

Combat is not the only way to play pvp. Trappers can be quite effective but you have to play them as trappers: you cannot run into a mob swinging and expect to walk out. The point of having three path to choose from is just that: you have to make a choice and this means accepting the advantages and disadvantages of your…

Since no one else seems to be able to answer my question, I've decided to make this a monological thread and reply to myself. Here's the skinny: I was corresponding with someone in the customer service department and apparently HRs have a very small pool direct-damage encounter powers (a total of 8 between melee & ranged).…

Thanks, I get that, but making the default class feature unusable seems silly. Not getting the one you want is one thing, but not being able to even use it is another. Giving a pathfinder storm-step action is as useful as giving them a CW or GWF class feature (ie it's not useful)
-
I noticed on the preview server that the class feature for the off-hand weapon I grabbed was 'storm-step action'. This would be useful if my character was a storm warden, but he is not. Could you ensure that the class feature is one that is actually usable? It would be very annoying if this were not the case once mod 5…
-
That would, but it would also make a 3-second non-ancient thorned root go from 500% to 750% and 7+ sec ancient thorned root (from Master Trapper, etc) go from 500% to at least 1750%. Balance is the key and finding a number that would come close to the non-ancient thorned root DPS without penalizing the ancient root is key.
-
I second this post. Thorned roots from separate encounter powers not stacking makes no sense; if damage from a non-rooting attack is on top of thorned-root damage, why would a separate encounter power (say hindering after constricting) be treated differently? I would add one additional suggestion for the Ancient…
-
Gah. That's super annoying. So I now need a hard-to-find dragon egg to craft *one* purple kit to get a crit *or* a deflect bonus (not both plus some) whereas before I could use other materials to get an over-all stat boost for my bracers. Wonderful. It makes the days I spent crafting all those leather pants so worthwhile...
-
Speaking of melee HRs, has anyone noticed how much aimed strike underperforms? My damage rarely tops 1000 even though the description says that the min for lvl 3 is 4700. Rain of Swords consistently underperforms too. Am I not understanding how the damage is calculated?
-
Does anyone know why you are no longer able to reinforce bracers? I've seen the option within the last week or so, but now that I've reached leatherworking lvl 20, the option is gone.
