think i stopped playing in 2010 or 2011... so about then. I wasn't a pvp player, but I knew the best pvp hoxes back then, so my knowledge in that respect is from what they shared...
btw, I've just re-installed the game to check it out... Anyone care to give me a brief overview of whats going on with the class nowadays and maybe a bit about raiding content? Knowing funcom, I doubt there's much change in terms of the raiding builds... Kinda expect my 5 year old build to still be viable. Think last I had the t3 set. Whats the count at now? T5 or have they changed how gearing up works at end game?

they made a mini-revamp of hox some time ago. the most important thing is that now int increases the damage of btd dot (before it was only magic damage). other than that, they changed a few feats here and there, but nothing substantial.
about gear, sorry, but the t3 hox set is horrible. the bb blue set is already better than that. however, i'm not sure that farming faction gear is a good idea. probably nowdays it's just easier to get t3.5/t4 gear, which is a decent starting point for t5/t6.
talking about higher tiers, the t5 rune is awesome, and you should try to get it as soon as possible. and, of course, t6 gear is the best that you can get at the moment. however, hox belt and boots are horrible. you should get the demo/necro pieces instead.

Yawgmoth (Ranger) - Nyxathid (Necro) - Yixlid (HoX) - Kaltas (DT) - Heung (BS) - Teysa (HoX) - Gatzu (Guard) - Krovax (Ranger) - Hurkyl (Barb) - Vedalken (PoM)
got the brittle blades set, except for gloves I think, which used to drop in one instance that was bugged, so no one could do it back then.
Nice about btd, but did they fix the stacking from other hoxes in raids? I remember that was a big problem we had so, we had to adjust rotations...
whats this rune business? Sounds like a new addition. Where does it go or how do you use it?
