You’re awesome Rainer, thank you for being so thoroughly informative! Just got my Warden over 200k power and all stats capped! Ready to work on my own trapper build now! Let’s bring it back!🙌

[@RainerNW]

Good luck!

[@honeyafun7450]

Thanks Rainer, I'll be sending my ranger friends here haha

[@RainerNW]

Thanks :)

[@archermakeitrain9215]

Excellent stuff, thanks for your time and effort. The stats are beautiful with max damage. It took me quite some time to figure out how much artificers persuasion improves damage on the Warden. If timed right, it provided a noticeable improvement on damage in ToMM. I'm visualizing the trapper rotation and it seems as if we could maximize damage even further by squeezing out more encounters over a long fight with Zariel and Tomm with artificers. I'm still a Zariel nub, so Im most likely wrong, but will be fun to try and test.

[@RainerNW]

Instead I actually changed the 2 combatant's for shepherd's devotion, because more movement speed = more dmg (quicker into position) and it works on the whole team... You are basically going to give everyone 15% movement speed all the time. The cooldown reduction doesnt really do much, since we dont worry about cooldowns.

[@cyrilsneer370]

Two equipment choice questions: why not use the star rover bracers for the 5% damage buff? It's super easy to keep stacks up. Second, the +4/5 tanner's ring for the daily-proccing manticore mane's bite: easily more damage than the 3% boost to ranged attacks

[@RainerNW]

Star rover maybe.. but manticore mane's bite is heavily overrated. 3% dmg buff is a lot better ;-)

[@milleezy]

Hey amazing video, do you have a bis for the stance switching warden? I'd really appreciate any information regarding that build

[@w4yne3d61]

[@davidmorgan3119]

glad to see you are still alive and making videos .. very nice build but can you make a noob friendly build in the future

[@RainerNW]

Sure, I can make whatever build you'd like :-) What specifies a noob friendly build in your opinion?

[@mani7548-n5j]

What do you think about damage comparison regarding a non grasping roots hunter build vs using grasping roots?

[@jonathonmeney669]

Will you be doing one o these videos on the wizard I am a somewhat returning player from when under mountain came out.

[@RainerNW]

Will try, but probably using the char builder since I don't have all the Wizard gear on live!

[@w4yne3d61]

Lol don’t have have any journals ;( and also struggling to get the companion gear drops

[@shadowr9780]

Hello Rainer I have two questions. 1. Can you achieve the values ​​without the storyteller journals? have already looked in the carakter builder I almost always miss 50k HP. 2. Is there a possibility in the character builder for the loot boxes to import the AD values ​​from the Internet without always entering them manually? Would like to know which lot box currently has the best price performance? Or should you open the loot box that contains the 50k life mount regardless of the price? Thanks for the character builder, although using it in another language is a bit difficult because you always have to translate everything because the items sometimes have very different names. Kind regards

[@RainerNW]

Lots of questions in one post :-D. 1. Difficult but possible I guess.. you will just end up with less power 2. Importing AH values is sadly not possible at this point.. but I am negotiating with the devs about getting more info from the game For which box is best you do need to fill in the values. You can save the values btw and reload them the next time (although they could be outdated)

[@RainerNW]

As for languages, i might be able to do something there also, depending on how much help I can get from the devs

[@shadowr9780]

@@RainerNW Hi, Rainer Thank you for your prompt reply. Do you know whether the storyteller journals will be farmable at the event or whether they will be replaced by new items? thanks in advance

[@RainerNW]

Im pretty sure we will get another tales of old event where you can farm them indeed!

[@arnabmukhopadhyay7078]

between burnished and alabaster sets, which one is better for HR ?

[@RainerNW]

Out of those 2 burbished is better for group content, alabaster for solo. But you much rather go for the legion guard weapons at this point. They are fairly easy to pick up!

[@batmight27anderson60]

Do you have an opinion on a CW High DPS build someone I can watch a video on any of your friends will very much be appreciate it thank you

Sadly i will never reach the heights of your build,but great advice to those who can :)

Maybe one day! ;-)

[@truthbiased3282]

thx, where does that armor drop from? i do not know what it is your mentioned?

[@RainerNW]

Scavenger drops from terminus runic encounters, and from the slimcovered gear boxes at level 75. The slime boxes are a bit weird though, the ranger stuff only drops for a rogue

[@truthbiased3282]

@@RainerNW yes thats was my question, where n whats "terminus runic encounters" :P in the whole zone or just rune farming?

[@furyus14]

bro i understand the whole hunter ranger thing in mod19. but some people like myself can't do the whole rotation. too used to warden. is there a mod19 warden build that is almost as good as hunter. even if it is lower in stats. would still love to have one. please please please make a build. please

[@RainerNW]

I think I did make some builds before m19 came out. But I can work on a warden gear setup as well!

[@furyus14]

@@RainerNW thankyou bruf. i'm so mad cuz i started in February and was absent for the past 2 months. now come back n things have changed. the things i spent AD n time on are now bad so i have to buy other stuff n it just feels bad that i have to start all over again. i just want my warden build. no matter what.

[@RainerNW]

Dont be too sad. Warden actually got a buff in m19 and still is very viable in all contrnt. Its just that hunter got even bigger buff and now beats warden. Doesnt make warden bad!

yo what rotation do u use i find im having a hard time having a consistent rotation of my encounters the cd times are too long and im forced to use at wills more any suggestions

[@RainerNW]

Using atwills is fine, aimed shot does a truckton of dmg ;-)

[@flavioavmello]

What does Combatant's Maneuver does exactly? The descriptions are different. In one place it says it gives you 2500 combat advantage, in another says it gives you combat advantage. So, which one is right? Is this the same as that wizards feat where you gain combat advantage from anywhere?

[@RainerNW]

The first one gives 2500 CA, the second 1250 CA, the third 625 CA. After that nothing. You get the CA if you control an enemy.

[@flavioavmello]

@@RainerNW So, you mentioned that you use that for the 3 dominance insignias. Is there a reason not to use something like Artificer's Persuasion? Since it can also hold 3 dominance insignias. Mainly because, it is all I got.

[@RainerNW]

@@flavioavmello Well the cooldown reduction doesn't do anything for the trapper. HOWEVER - I totally got it wrong that Barbed has dominance lol... So actually you would slot 2x Sherpherd's devotion to give everyone 15% movement speed at all times.

[@snjstr]

Hey, great vid. I just tried downloading the most recent character builder version and my virus prog, Avast, won't allow connection because it says your page is infected with URL:Blacklist. Not sure if the issue is with your page or my virus protection, but thought you should know.

[@RainerNW]

Its a false positive... the more functions I build into the builder, the more suspicious scanners get. Theres not much I can change sadly :-(

[@andrer.1729]

Hey , hope you are well ! I have a problem on the new map , after the Patch drops on xbox I can't find treasure maps , killing hundreds of enemies and nothing happens in the same time my guild members getting ten or more . It's really frustrating.

[@RainerNW]

Hmm that's very odd. Do you kill enemies in a specific area or maybe only the weaker ones? When I run my characters through the weekly haul I typically get 3-4 maps in the process...

[@andrer.1729]

Specific and by myself, make heroic ,rings drops but no maps in all the time I get two of the by the start of the mod on console.

[@RainerNW]

@@andrer.1729 Try killing the big NPCs like Balors, Pit fiends, Nazgurons and Shocktroop demons. I haven't really checked where I get the maps.... I think they should drop from all minions though

[@andrer.1729]

I habe finish the quest for this Week befor Rest give them up and change to my dps vanguard Bulild and than they drop in 1 hour 6 of them . Think the Problem is the Tank Build.

[@andrer.1729]

Noch mal für die Deutschen Nutzer, bei mir sind keine Schatzkarten gedropt , ich bin erst davon ausgegangen das es daran liegt das ich abgeschlossene Quests im Tagebuch für diese Woche hatte daran lag es aber nicht da das andere aus meiner Gilde auch so machen .

Does the double damage thing still work?

[@yesudiddie]

So I recently just came back to Neverwinter and made a hunter. I’ve been using the melee warden setup but I’m only 20k gs and just now getting to avernus ect so I’m not really geared. Do you think I should stay as a melee warden or should I switch to a ranger?

[@RainerNW]

Both actually work fine in solo play. Check out some gameplay videos and look what you like best. Hunter is a bit more fast rotations but also a bit higher damage. Warden is easier but a bit less damage. Maybe for starters go with the warden setup until you're back into the groove with the game :-)

[@yesudiddie]

Rainer I was actually just watching some of your older videos! Haha I think I’m going to stay with warden, I really like the melee gameplay. Just have to figure out how to get all of this gear since I’m so far behind. I can’t really get the journals or lionsgear ect. One of my few questions is, I have the burnished set, I was thinking about getting the legionsgear set, what do you think? Thanks for the advice and the great videos

[@RainerNW]

Legion guard is very easy to farm. Use the farming maps easily video guide I made :-).. You will have the weapons within a day or two

[@yesudiddie]

Rainer Yeah I’ve been farming the maps, I just wasn’t sure if that was an “upgrade” from the burnished set since you didn’t mention it. My bro got his set in like 30 maps so I’m sure I’ll get mine soon

[@RainerNW]

Definitely an upgrade!

Because crit sev inherently gives more dmg for almost all builds. The differrence is on average ~2% dmg output

Commanding shot will buff 10% dmg to my crew so it won’t be any good to me lol...I need a better different rotation so I can do more then 200k dmg in Tomm

[@RainerNW]

Your team doing more does help you beat the trial though ;-). The 10% buff also works on your own powers by the way, but it does not stack if multiple people use it. The commanding shot buff is almost mandatory to pick ;-)

[@ignacioproudly7930]

Rainer ohhhh...got chu,,,, But these assholes lol are complaining on why I don’t do more dmg then them...lol I got lions so it should be a lot more ...zariel challenge def I will put command shot ...I’m using longstrider/constricting arrow/hindering shot

You're kidding me! Ouch.... Yea for those who don't realize this yet - You need to open the packs on a rogue in order to have a chance for the ranger chestpiece!

[@povilaskoruza1837]

Hmmm its more like zariel build, you dont need always play with 90k cap, or 500khp, 99 % all game you can do with 80k cap with no problems :) but yea build is solid and nice:) "BABY ZARIEL"

[@RainerNW]

This is for Zariel indeed.. and I'm almost 100% sure this is the best dmg output setup possible... I have >250k power in combat in a raptor group and I am not even using the fiend forged gaiters for extra power.

[@povilaskoruza1837]

Dont understand me wrong, video name is BIS RANGER gear setup for M19, but true is you dont need cap stan on 90 for avernus( 85 iMac, and maibe more hp will be nice like 400k) only for zara you need cap correct;)

[@RainerNW]

Caps for avernus are also 90k, but yea you dont need 500k hp for questing :-)

[@gond9166]

Game is pretty dead right now. And Zariel drops same things as Tomm, so other than the weapons with a bad set bonus, there is no reason to do Zariel. No reason to get that chest piece either, since there is new gear coming with the same perk stacking up to 10. Other than that, it's a shame that we cant make unique builds anymore because the endgame Craptic is creating is just "everyone with get the same gear and have a big ball of health" no exeptions. Which leaves no room for us wanting to create other builds or make use of different combinations of gear. Everyone the same ? No thanks, thats lame.

[@RainerNW]

You can always go another route like warden, its perfectly viable, the dmg is just a tad lower. Other than that you don't HAVE to follow this build, but it is BiS :-)

Please stop using the word trapper. It’s called Hunter ranger.

Hunter is the paragon name for which this gear in this video is optimized. I made a trapper rotation that revolves around lots of stance switches and roots (which is the essence of trapper imo)
