i am not 3k iLvl, but at 2.5k iLvl, with normal bondings or augment, combat is at the same level with archery (and on solo targets too), the only problem for combat is that it has to dodge much more and change position a lot, but, back on topic. Overall, stacking power for archery is a better solution (IMO), cause…
1) Cause when mobs are allready in your mele skills' range, it is helpful to drop them and then kite away 2) VT is a crowded dungeon, much more mobs then in any other dungeon, not only when she summons them but on the way to her room too. 3) Yeah, stealing agro is a problem in weak parties, so you are forced to enter the…
longstrinder, rain, cordon. when you can not use longstrinder (have no ranged targets) swap longstrinder for ward when you have to fight lots of mobs (say valindra, or demonic slaughter) swap longstrinder for StS droping plant groth and thorn strike when mobs enter mele range is also usefull and helps a lot, and if you…
from encounter powers: useless are only maradeur and boar, maybe ambush from class features only pathfinders ”battlehorned” and ”cruel recovery” are useless, othe powers and atwills can find their place on your bar in some situations.
Thorn ward was good all the time, but only as supporting skill, now it was buffed, and is a good dps skill to, so there is no reason to not use it. The new commanding is nice too, i use both if i need high ”- damage resist” on boss fights So all in all the balance is achieved, 90% of powers are usefull now, nice.
Classic (full) archer builds are bat at pvp, they have a lot of DMG, burst and sustained, but no CC or tools to survive. But i gues they can act as old mod 5 CWs - a glass cannon with a support to keep it alive, but even in such a case, it will be a try-hard for both, the archer and the support.

For Paragon feats i use full archery without Keen Eye and Stormcallers Arrow i cant find 3 feats to swap for gambit... Longshot and rising focus + 1 more, but all in all you lose more than gain.…
my setups (still working on them): 1) solo content, mobs arent one ”rotation=dead”: Thorn Ward, Rain of Arrows, Cordon or Arrows Aspect of the pack (plus companion) or Stormstep Action (with augment) and Aspect of the Lone Wolf 2) solo content, mobs are onerotated: Longstrinder+Cordon+Rain Pack+Flackon 3) Party dungeon:…
i remember mod 5, when i had cooldowns on traper (with swiftness of the fox), and in pve it is not that bad, while the nerf of plant growth will be devasting. I think PG needs a target cap of 8 or even 10, and it shoul trigger blade storm as it is now.
Thnx a lot. About enchantment, i have a normal feytoched, should i trade it for vorpal/terror or bilethorn, or, it does not matter and feutouched is good?
Hi, fab, I have a question about 2 builds: MoF Thaum with icy veins SS rene with Spell Twisting Is there a big difference betwen 2 of them? and what build is better for a casual pve playstyle? Now i play MoF thaum with icy veins, and i have a free respec. Initialy, i wanted to adjust my build and correct some misstakes in…
that is not a buggg: ”You envelop your target in flame dealing damage over time. While burning, your target attracts flame from nearby targets who are affected by Smolder, causing the target to take additional damage. If those Smolder targets are killed, they deal an additional burst of damage to the Fanning the Flame…
Yeah! That formula is great. But, anyway, it should be mentioned: RT= recharge time left; then after we trigger ST: newRT=oldRT-CD*(0.1*[Spell Twisting Stacks]) {it is the same formula}, and thus, ST can be taken as constat, but it is not recomendet, 'cause when you trigger ST, some seconds from CD are allready gone. Or,…
"Frozen Power Transfer – Chilling Cloud now grants 1/2/3/4/5% bonus damage for every target you strike with its third strike. This bonus lasts for 20 seconds and stacks up to 3 times. So you mean to tell me with this maxed I can gain up to 15% more damage?? Sounds good to me!! 5/5" Take a look at…
Look at assiliant DMG, there is clearly another weapon used. in the first case he used a weapon with a damage twice higher that in the second case. Also, the crit chance in the first depict. is about 2 times higher than in the second one. You are right, there is a data manipulation.
What rotation? Can you provide more info about that test? I am interested in encounter and feat diferences. The problem is that FtF will anyway deal more DMG, while Icy Veins will keedp 6 chills on the target, this is the point that makes me doubtful. To make things clear: This is your rotation: Ray of Enfeeblement 2x (it…
Hey, what numbers are you speaking about when you've just tested ANOTHER build with YOUR rotation??? You used the same rotation for two different builds, it is not correct at all. The rotation should match the build, yes? Totatly agree!! You are awesome.
A lot of comments deleted. Great. My Heroic Feeat build is a little different, you could do even more DMG with focused wizardry. But Rotation and Heroic Feat build is just the same (i only use critical conflagration, but, for sure, on a dragonfight CP is wellcome). Also, for boss fight, i would use FtF and RoE (icy veins…
You are interested in Freeze duration, yes? I think that frozen targets will unfreez after they take some DMG = k*(weapon damage), but it is only a theory, and that there is a standart Freeze duration if target takes no damage. Anyway, if this theory is right (tooltip say that targets will unfreeze after they take some…
