Hello all, i'm currently a lowly scout, but i had a question about HO's for predators and assassins. As far as soloing goes, do we ever get new HO effects that better reflect our class and subclasses, or am I going to spend my entire career as an assassin shifting the wheel away from Swindler's Luck?
hehe well later on you wont swift away from swinders luck since it's better for higher levels. The damage ring blow does is minimal compared to the damage you do yourself then, So ring blow for low levels.. swinders luck for higher but to get on topic. I went to lvl 24 during beta and no other HO's. so dont count on it.
Later on when you'll group, you will see that scout group OH are pretty nice. I love the Scout/Warrior/Priest/Mage one, the rare wheel deal really massive damage (done around 500 with a lvl 18ish group), and the 2 common are nice too , one is a 3 min timer stat buff (Str/Wis and another one) and second an AE that dealed between 90-150 with the same group above. I advice you to take a look on the group OH, some are really interesting. Silaena - Teir'dall Assassin 20 - Errare Humanum Est Officier (Storm)
I honestly find Ho useless and in groups i never saw real use of Ho so far if max damage on it was 500 it's ice but how often it happends and how long it took to create/finish it? Also you said it's rare so it doesn't happen so often I prefur to just deal as much damage as i can in shortest time.
facts are that if the group is willing to work together and takes time to learn the ho that they will do more damage with ho's then they can with all their best attacks together. 99% of all groups go for the "slam as much high dmg attack buttons as you can" tactic. Only a fewww really think about what they are doing. those groups will get far and can beat higher level mobs.. the "slam" groups are more level dependend.
