You will just show up at the start of the next zone if the door is already opened.

Congrats man!!

Game has gotten a lil interesting now huh?

 

It has - I am enjoying playing the Dancing Avvar Who Can't Get Knocked Down 

[TheLeakestWink]

What does it do other than avoid knockdown?  I am not concerned with knockdown with my characters that have leaping shot or frost step etc.

 

Ah, but you no longer have to put points or waste mana/stamina on those skills, freeing up your builds for higher DPS options (particularly true with respect to Combat Roll)

[ThatBruhYouDK]

Man...all these people with The Amulet, getting accused of cheating because I never got knocked down...I remember when I was the only one on PC playing with it...too mainstream now..

I think Crit Chance on bow grip > HOK for us with low cunnings.  CWN could always use two 2% HOK rings for an awesome 4% HOK which was what I did before I got the 10% HOK ring.

Holy crispy crackers! I honestly didn't even think about doing that.

(and yes, I do have two 2% HoK rings.)

Brain, no work gud. Have head cold, I blame.

[TheThirdRace]

Edit: I just realized you mentioned all you have is a 2% HOK ring. Don't even bother with the critical chance grip. You need the HOK from the upgrade, I think Third would agree.

On one hand, I agree Heal on Kill is a must. Another thing I agree is that Critical Chance isn't a must since if you die you don't do damage, which defeat the purpose...

On the other hand, I think 2% is not enough to make a difference. The lower your Health and Constitution are, the lower the effectiveness of that 2% is gonna be. If you get killed in less than 3 shots, 2% Heal on Kill wouldn't change anything. For example, 2% of 500 HP is only 10 HP, where do you go with that?!?!?!

Although, I'll gladly admit it's been way too long since I had only 2% Heal on Kill. I don't remember what it's like since I've been on the opposite side's of DragonRacer's luck, meaning I got my 10% HoK ring in the first 3 weeks.

(and yes, I do have two 2% HoK rings.)

Well, then I'd try with a Critical Chance bow grip and use those 2 HoK rings. See how it goes for 10 to 15 games and if it really doesn't work for you then switch up to Heal on Kill. Don't forget to try Critical Chance again whenever you get that 10% HoK ring.

Another thing that helps a lot is to craft the best armor you can for your Archer and Hunter. Since you're not especially high on stats, you might get better results not going for the Drakescale armor since that one has no %Range defense built-in.

Fallback Plan, which has a good learning curve, and Leaping Shot will also increase your survivability.

Good luck to you.

[coldwetn0se]

@Thirdrace - I do have the higher crafted armor for both (plus the drakescale), but it took me a while to get the better armor upgrades (thank you RNG ). Now I have an upgrade that gives me +11 Cunning, for example. This should help as well.

I mostly play Perilous, and Threatening when I am at level 1 or if pug groups are few and far between. So I am still going to give the crit chance a try. Like I said, I have the mats to spare, so no big loss if I have to switch to HoK.

[LXDX-Solarch]

lol i just a few weeks ago figured out how to do these book quests. So slow to catch on.

Huh?! Dude 4% HOK and 32% Critical chance is is no way shape or form better than 36% HOK and 20% critical chance....

Fixed it for you
You forgot the other bracket

Thanks buddy. Mobile sucks and it's been a great night.

Heroic knows what's up.  Pronto's chest actually contained a Knight's Second, a Bolt, and an Amulet of Physical Immunity.  Literally the very next chest I bought for him contained a Brand. 

 

Before salvaging it (the amulet, not the Brand), I decided to take it on a test run to see if it's all it's cracked up to be.

 

 

It's not even good.  I don't know why everyone makes such a big fuss over it.  Trust me Proto, you will thank me later.

I guess that will at least keep Proto playing until he finishes the next monthly challenge XD

[ghostwheel]

Caved in and just opened my book 4 chest there.  Got Hakkon 2 hander, Hakkon Bow and a lvl 27 sword.  Happy about the 2 hander but sad that I salvaged the Hakkon staff a while ago (I want it back!).

Wont quite make it to the Cresent sword even with book 5; i think I need at least 1 more item as well as another book reward to get that weapon.

Ahhh...you assume much, wise one.

(*checks inventory, sees one 2% crit chance ring.* )



So here is how things went. Using the all crit-chance grip, adding the +11 cunning to the purple veteran jacket on my Hunter, and taking certain passives, I definitely had a hard hitting/in-yo-face Hunter+Hakkon Bow. And also a complete glass canon (of the low promote kind. LOL!). In Threatening, that was fine. I can take a hit (since I do have the Superb Belt of Health ), and the %4 HoK, made up for a little, when I got a little too cocky.

On Perilous, the glass canon status became more of a "glass .38 Special". Still fairly powerful - again for a low promote - but not a fast enough killer to stay out of the red, when things got busy. Spike Trap was still my best friend, especially in perilous. I did stick with it through multiple games, but switched back to Heartstring (just because it was quicker at the time), to finish out to level 20 on said Hunter.

Conclusion - it IS a lot of fun (the Hakkon bow)! And it is completely viable in Threatening. In fact, maybe close to OP (again, unless you get cocky or lazy ). But on Perilous, the lack of attributes, show. Still can't kill a good number of the mooks quick enough, especially without using the Trap alongside said bow.

I will leave the bow as is for now. Pull it out from time to time as I promote, and get (hopefully!) better accessories. For Perilous though, I will use my Heartstring + Traps.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. It was fun!

[lcneed]

For Perilous though, I will use my Heartstring + Traps.

 

That's what I use too!  With the built-in HOK and Crit Chance grip it is pretty awesome.  And I like the 1% HP per hit means every leaping shot is like 12% HP without killing anything on bosses.  Now if the Hakkon bow has the 1% per hit... would it be like a 36% HP restore per leaping shot?

 

BTW, whenever someone leaping shot over my head, I kept looking around for the Qun jumping guy.. and then.. oh it is just you.

Why would it be 36%?
I am 95% positive that it is always 12 shots no matter what bow you use..correct me if I am wrong (with proof of course) please lol

You're right.  It's only the auto-attack that fires triple shots... or is it?  Maybe you need to re-install to do some tests.

I'll let you in on a little secret..it is on my buddies laptop (sweet gaming laptop lol). I'm 95% positive that the triple shots are only basic attacks not all attacks...would be awesome though...triple long shot! xD
