I`ve figured out why I`m getting 1 shotted way more than I used to.
I`ve switched my rotation for my HR where I used to have Fox`s Cunning 1st in my Ranged rotation, I now have it 3rd so I`m getting hit a fair bit before I actually get to activate it.
Also for some reason I`ve stopped a dodge in my rotation. I used to hold the At-Will button whilst firing off my Encounters for extra hits and I usually added in a dodge just before I use Oak Skin. But I`ve noticed now I do not hold the At-Will button for some reason I don't hit dodge as much.
This morning I ran Epic Shores around 10 times and I didn`t die once 
Don't know why my rotations and dodges got all messed up as I changed them slightly lol. |

Yeah lots of people contributed to the actual thread but I have not changed a lot from my very 1st post Later on in the thread I put what my rotation is and changed it a little, some small tweeks from my original post but all my feats etc are still the same. I actually want to respect the whole thing when I get the chance as I think I can improve it Let me know how StormWarden goes, I did spec into that for a while and wish I had tested it a little more. |

At first it was real difficult because of being a CW only since I started, the mechanics take a little effort... but now I have the right powers on and have learned to plan the stance switch into the routine it's working very well.. Still can't take on the Cultists though.. they are so tough for me at Lv47
Will do!!

So what's your rotation for ranged and melee then? I went through your HR opus and had a bit of trouble trying to find your final results.
My rotation is Ranged-->Fox's Cunning --> Hindering Shot --> Constricting Shot. Melee is Fox's Cunning --> (melee version of Hindering Shot) --> Steel Breeze.
Passives are Aspect of the Serpent and Storm Step.
Dailies are Seismic Shot and Disruptive Shot.
Dailies are used in between rotations to reset Encounters and do some serious crit damage (e.e., Seismic Shot).
Only use Aiming Shot for boss battles where the boss is static or very slow. Othewise I never use At Wills.

You don't want to use Fox`s Cunning 1st in the ranged rotation, I found that one out myself. It will use up a stack of Aspect of the Serpent (you only get 2 for ranged and 2 for melee). Therefore you are best using Fox`s Cunning 3rd on your ranged rotation. I cant comment on Storm Step dude as I`m a Pathfinder I cant stand Disruptive Shot as it can make an enemy use a different attack, which can mess up your rotation and you get to know when to dodge an enemy, instead of them taking time to use a red attack while you dodge out of the way they can instead just hit you either using up Fox`s Cunning or causing damage. You should really try out Forest Something (cant remember the name off the top of my head). It only uses 50% of your AP, puts you into Stealth for extra damage and making enemies not hit you (less threat), also it automatically hits any enemy within range for a few seconds, I tend to fire it off just before using Fox`s Shift for a lot of extra powerful hits. You should never need to use Disruptive Shot to reset encounters as if you have team buffs (like Fox`s Cunning - ranged or Oak Skin - melee) they should reset the opposite encounters. When you use Fox`s Cunning it will reduce cooldown times per team member, so if you have 4 team members it will reduce the cooldowns 5 times. That is why I use Binding Shot/Oak Skin instead of Constricting Arrow. Fox`s Cunning (ranged) will reset all Melee encounter powers and Oak Skin (melee) will reset all Ranged Encounter powers. My normal rotation is at the start Fox`s Cunning then Binding Shot > Hindering Shot > Fox`s Shift > Hindering Strike > Oak Skin > Binding Shot > Hindering Shot > Fox`s Cunning > Fox`s Shift > Hindering Strike > Oak Skin etc etc. Against some bosses and tougher enemies I would add in an Aimed Strike just before Oak Skin, depends if I feel I can hit them without being hit back. Also just before Oak Skin I would dodge away to use it therefore avoiding being hit, then you are also a little distance from an enemy for the ranged rotation, Fox`s Shift will get you back into the fray anyway if the enemy has not closed in on you. |

Sorry, meant to write I use Aspect of the Serpent and Storm Blade for my passives to add some extra DPS damage points.
Will consider using the Binding Shot/Oakskin encounter.
Your rotation seems off from your previous comments. It looks like you fire off the Fox encounter than go into the next two but you had mentioned that you now use the Fox encounter third?
If you're on later tonight, we can chat a bit more about this.

I start with ranged, the Y button that roots, then the B button that has 2 arrows that slow I think? Then the fox's stuff on X as I move into range for the melee X that zips around hitting multiple targets, then the Y that is a large circular sweep of the swords, then B that roots, then I go back to ranged. If Seismic Shot is up, I hit that now while I have ranged strike stacks up.
So, Y,B,X,RB,X,Y,B

Yeah Fox`s Cunning to start the fight off (usually after an Aimed Shot if I am solo), then as the fight goes on Fox`s Cunning switches to 3rd in my rotation. |
