Go away Bioboy. Seriously, everyone here knows your routine, so go rip off people on the mobos cause it ain't flying here.

More random info:

Longswords with Whirling Strike does proc 4+ strikes with whirlwind in tree form.

Pretty sure its still crappy choice, but hell tested it.

ok

Just curious what effects did people prioritize when selecting gear for Trees?

Looks like first priority is Melee Power.
Then Doublestrike?
Any other important things to focus on for gear?

Thanks

Are trees still worth it? With the trash hitting so hard you need to heal to full after you get hit otherwise you're going to die on next and trees have difficulty on that. Also, to hit is kinda low insn't it? After seeing what furyshoters are doing (https://youtu.be/zdIF0FnaNYw?t=15m32s) I don't think any other non caster is worth it, except bugged wolf or pure ranger  (maybe)

Don't be an idiot. 66 min 6 man, and 2 trees only, who cares.

By the way, the video I linked had 4 furyshoters and no trees, and that's actually the world speed record on LE Shroud.

And your not impressing when you say you can pug EH shroud lol.

Edit: are you Tilomare?

Can anyone post the likely monk tree builds?

Warlock versions:
12 monk 6 warlock 2 palie, double boost some saves lays for some burst heal and warlock for stacks
12 warlock 6 monk 2 palie, no abud step, no imp evasion but has better aura ticks to sutain tree longer /you lose alot of sustain without the ticks

Cleric versions:
12 monk 5 cleric 3 palie, t5 in cleric for aura tick and palie for lays, not optimal now

Wizzard version:
12 monk 5 palie 3 wiz, good aura tick and defense, abuse better w cleaves in palie tree, most animation reset attacks and hits  out of all tree builds
9 monk 5 palie 6 wiz, has displace for selfcast

Fighter versions:
Generally centerd monk with some kind aura ticks, not to impressed with them myself
Tried 12 fighter 4 monk 4 wiz, 12 fighter 6 warlock 2 monk 12 monk 5 fighter 3 wiz and 12 monk 5 fighter 3 warlock.
12 warlock 6 fighter 2 monk is ok but no defenses.
Issue is burst healing, while i do have slightly more mellepower the lack of lays from palie really hurts in le content when you want to full time zerg

There are couple others as well, but generally 12 monk  + xxx and generally transfering monk plife and reinforced fists will give you slightly more damage when using hwraps over kamas, tho kamas allow for better gear setups.

Hope it helps

Who cares about kill count. Shroud is basically portal DPS in part 1, suvivability against red named in part 2, burst DPS in part 4 and 5. You could argue that tree is better portal DPS, I'm not so sure, but ranged obviously rocks part 2, 4 and 5 (and is better at 3 too to break crystal but who cares).

The AP split I posted is 100% what he is running.

If you just switched to T5 Arcane archer without capstone (and core 5), you are missing a few severe dps boosts.

Core 5 is a crit multiplier (if it works), a 5% doubleshot secondary imbue for bows.
Capstone is 20% doubleshot and 4 dex (remember 1 dex ~= 1-2% dps boost depending on how much dex you have).

Overall you come out ahead on dex, equal on doubleshot. The big difference is you are trading 35 ranged power (archers stance) and ~8 damage on hit for 1 crit multiplier on bows, 5% doubleshot on bows, slayer arrow, 5 to-hit, and 2 elemental arrow imbue dice.

I have a feeling this will be the way to go - 5 to-hit roughly translates to 1 less grazing hit on LE. As long as the damage is even remotely similar from a sustained dps point of view, the AA wins hands down due to increased burst. (Spiky damage is almost always better than sustained damage if equal magnitude when compared over time).

I unfortunately went human due to wanting the extra feat so I can't test this version. Once lamm comes up will be doing dps tests to compare. If the crit multiplier is working (and from doing some rough calcs, it has to be in order for people to be hitting those adrenaline + slayer arrow + multishot combos), this version should come out ahead. Unfortunately, it does require using the bow A LOT more, which means spacing out adrenaline regen on shuriken vs bow will be a little trickier.

Nice catch.  I missed that when I watched it.  Thank you.

This is an interesting variation on the original 12/6/2.   Hadn't thought about using elf AA tree for access to the capstone when you already have 6 ranger levels.  There are some decent advantages to this.  Might have to try this out in the near future.
