[QUOTE="Smeelbo, post: 4677478, member: 81898"] I didn't mean that [I]Hunter's Bear Trap[/I] is worse than [I]Twin Strike[/I], just that [I]Twin Strike[/I] makes the trade-offs clearer. The questions are: what I am gaining for giving up one of the attacks from [I]Twin Strike[/I], and could I get something better than than that for the same price or less? While [I]Hunter's Bear Trap[/I] does half damage on a miss, [I]Twin Strike[/I] gives me two chances to hit, and thus two chances to deliver [I]Hunter's Quarry[/I], and any other damage bonuses other than STR/DEX bonus. I do not find trading away an extra attack for extra damage as compelling as some other possibilities. [B]Smeelbo[/B] [B]EDIT:[/B] [I]Hunter's Quarry[/I] appears not to require a successful attack, merely that you damage your [I]Quarry[/I]. That has some [U]interesting[/U] implications. So attacks that deal damage on a miss, auras, [I]Cleave[/I] secondary damage, and so on, [U]all[/U] can deliver [I]Hunter's Quarry[/I]. If I read correctly, then an attack that deals [U]half[/U] damage on a miss delivers full [I]Quarry[/I] damage. [/QUOTE]
