My thoughts on Dragon Hunter after BWE1.

So I can say this it was hard to choose which route to go on the build. Tried zerker and did not work that well tried rampagers and it did better with the condi side. Then I went with something a little off I went Carrion and then added monk runes in with the little help from the celestial gear and bam it fell into perfection for me. It started to feel really good with the trait lines I took. The minor heals helped others and my self along with the trap I took I could lock down mobs with the cripple do extra damage to crippled foes along with the trait Firey Wrath I could do extra damage there to and in all in worked well then all the burning I was doing from the larger AOE’s helped take down mobs faster.

So here is the build.

Numbers from left to right on each one 1-3 from top down.

Zeal 2-3-3
Honor 3-2-2
D/H 2-2-1

You could take virtues instead with 3-1-2 and make more effort to get the extra justice burn to go off.

The virtues where good the leap one and spear I used a lot the shield was more of a turn off but did have its uses when facing the mordrem super archers.

What I did not like was what many other have said.

1. The #1 skill was slow with an auto attack.
2. The #5 skill had a long cool down which made it feel way to slow to use to often.
3. The traps where good but seed situational and had less effect then I thought they would have.
4. The trait line for dragon hunter seems geared for 2 things damage and or support not enough control like most other trait lines.
5. Felt there could of been better cool downs on the virtues even if you went with the virtues line it did not work on there long cooldowns.
6. Skill #2 needs to be moving skill not a lock down use.

Other then that the spec is great fun and runs well with lots of build types even a heavy armor soldier type seemed to have its place in there on the trait line. Lots of fun with this over the weekend thanks and keep up the great work.
