Great points by all, and ultimately, that is the goal of the articles, is to spark discussions around other options. I love the idea of Expose Armor, as long as you are dropping the crowd control tactic and moving to speed kills as it will greatly help. Starbreeze is another good option as well. Hemmorrhage only counts for melee, no physical so kelemvelor is right on that one, but it's a trade off of do you want to go with a master tactician angle with a slower attatck or the faster attack on grump. Either in my opinion is a good choice, and in any warband, choices are good.

Why arcane shot? If you look at the damage output, everything is physical, and having the option of adding in a magical attack if you go up against paladins or the like, will be beneficial. Didn't say it was game breaking, but would be helpful.

Love the discussions and ideas guys, keep them coming!

I second the Elanna suggestion, including Kelemvor's reasoning. Here's another advantage of Elanna over Grumph: she's a lot less squishy. You get a 2/2/7 instead of a 2/1/6 and Elanna gets an automatic defensive reroll.

I'm also curious why you think Arcane Shot on Grumpherys would be beneficial to the team? The overall theme is to take advantage of Hemorrhage and there's no synergy there. But combining Expose Armor with a physical attack is helpful, even if the ranged attack doesn't benefit from Hemorrhage.

I enjoy reading your articles, thanks for posting them!

Dralor's Hemorrhage specifies melee damage dealt. Grumphry deals ranged damage.

Both of the above mentioned damage are physical damage.

Those are good suggestions. Also, wouldn't grump benefit from Hemorrhage though?
If I read it correctly, Dralor just needs to be standing by grump's target for grump to get the +1 to attack dmg.

Just a thought but Dralor bringing Expose Armor will benefit the entire team better than Sap.

You might want to consider switch Grumphrys with Elanna. Correctly timed, Master Tech is a Lesser Prayer of Healing (and increases team DPS) and a confirmed crit of Vi'gor in catform on an opponent next to Dralor is tasty.
