Witch Hunter help appreciated
« on: October 01, 2008, 04:00:47 PM »
Hi!

My Witch Hunter is now rank 21, he's full path of confession so far and I have two career tactic slots unlocked. Here's the problem - I'm not sure which tactics to use! Currently, I'm using the one that buffs your strength and another that gives 50% autoattack speed increase after scoring a critical hit. I know autoattack isn't a major factor when it comes to dps, but while playing around in pve, it seemed to me the increase in speed was quite nice.
Now I've also received the tactic that has a 50% chance of restoring two accusations upon performing an execution and I'm torn. Should I use it instead of one of the other two tactics? Are they balanced enough to not matter which one you use? If anyone can help me choose the right tactics to use, I'd appreciate it!

You get multiple tactic setups to use. Try them out in combination. Click the Tactic slot number 1 in game and it should expand to 1,2,3,4,5 - then just click the appropriate slot.

Gives you a chance to try them all out without feeling like its a bad choice and set there for life.

Hey Garros!

Im a fellow witch hunter and have started to make a few tentative steps into the theorycrafting of the game which is very basic at the moment. Threads are disagreeing on which spec to go for, but one thing they do agree on is flowing accustaions ( I think its called- the 2 extra accusations tactic) is really good and should be prioritised.

Im going to try out each tree but at the moment im going confession to get shroud of magnus. Let me know how you get on- Id be interested to hear any advice too.

Hi fellow hunters of evil -

for tactics I've followed the forums and yes flowing accusations seem to deserve a permanent place.  Others maybe depend on context - pvp, solo pve, PQs etc.  we have 5 slots to switch between (out of combat alas).  The choices seem to be between DPS and survival.  This choice is a very knotty one for WH to make.

Peronally speaking I started my life as a WH thinking we should max DPS by any means possible but I think as I progress I need to build up my survivability - particularly against casters.  This is on the same principle that Von Tirpitz required of his battlecruisers - Royal Navy battlecruisers in WWI had lots of punch but crappy armour - Kreigsmarine battlecruisers could take more of a pounding: the theory being that sunk ships can do no damage. So, I have tried to decide between sanctified bullets and flanking.
