the tempest rotation is very clean and this shouldn't be happening; your lack of parse here makes it hard to find where your mistake is. however, in a single target rotation, you shouldn't be using storm torrent, and you can avoid clipping entirely if you pull it off properly. here's my rotation (i've edited it a little for eu ping):

code:
starting with 3 combat points
(focused fire)
arc - charged pulse + double pulse - flamespear - electricity blast
skyfall
shock pulse - dual pulse
electricity cascade
lightning torrent

arc - charged pulse, double pulse - flamespear - electricity blast
skyfall
shock pulse - dual pulse
electricity cascade
shock pulse 
fiery burst
shock pulse x3 - work in a delayed blast here
everything on the same line can be put into a single macro (in that order, ofc). if you don't have to deal with 150-200 ping, you can use a 2pt fiery burst instead of a 1pt.

e: also make sure you have the right synergy crystal, as it is a big dps gain

I want to go back to this if this guy is reading this. How do you get dual pulse to go off if shock pulse doesn't have a cd?

put dual pulse before shock pulse in the macro. i just keep them on separate keys though so i didn't think of that when i wrote it.

I think keeping it separate would be best as using Dual Pulse before Shock Pulse might actually be a DPS drop since Shock Pulse gives a buff when used that increased your damage.

What's the policy involving invites for non-goons? My friends and I have been leveling together in a temporary guild but now we are all 60 and are mostly wearing IS/expert guild. Both of them were also in the goon guilds on the various WoW private servers if it helps at all. I'm hoping for an invite for all three of us. My clerics name is Maxdeacon and I'm usually on if someone wants to message me.

It's midnight EST on a Monday and we have 43 people on in guild. Clerics are getting a big rehaul in the next week or two so it's hard to say, they are in a very good heal/tank place right now and DPS should be getting a nice buff. The game was always good, now it has a ton more people in it.

If they will freak out when asked not to "pop in and chat" in the raiding mumble channel, in the middle of a raid which requires timing, coordination and communication in mumble, please invite them because :laffo:

Even better if they stay in there and remind everyone that hey, if anyone drops I'm ready to go. Just saying. Hey did anyone drop? Okay well let me know because I can come in if someone drops.

The game is continually improving, there's too many QOL things to list, the Rift Store is great (though they hosed up a bit making it the only shop interface and it doesn't show things like your planarite balance but I think they are working on that?) There's a massive amount of stuff you can buy with credits too, like a cosmetic version of pretty much every armor set pre-SL. Survival, Fishing, Instant Adventures, LFG system that lets you pick tank/healer/DPS/support based on what your current soul selection is capable of. Pretty much every soul has been streamlined and made more fun and less crazy than at release.

That said much of the world is still as dull as ever but you can pretty much skip anywhere that bores you too much.

Some PUGS don't trust rando's for jultharin and the last boss. Even when I join the pubbie vent I'm normally drunk so I just start screaming at them for their mistakes. It's quite enjoyable if the leader thinks you're funny, especially if you're carrying the entire team in dps.

I never gave a reach-around to a spider monkey while reciting the Pledge of Alligence.
Just bought a new PC (been stuck on OSX for a while) and got my account reactivated because it still had the mobile authenticator on it from before. Looking at my transactions the last time I played it was around 2011-7-13 - so it's been just over two years.

Anyway can't wait to get home and jump back in to the game :)

Edit: As such, I'm going to pretty much bet starting from the beginning again with my existing levelled characters - what are some of the first things I should do? Can't remember what level my characters are at though.

Oh my glob. What the stuff are you doing?
Purifiers: The days of lazy shield spamming are going away. A few juicy tidbits from the PTS that weren't mentioned by kervik completely yet, if at all..


Ability: Firewall -- No cooldown
Inflames -- a talent that allows you to place up to 3 firewalls.

Ability: Cauterizing Wave -- No cooldown AoE Cleanse that removes 1 debuff from 10 players.

Ability: Roaring Flames -- The Flamethrowing Healing torrent like ability, heals for meh, in the full relic t2 gear for testing it was healing for 500-600 a tick, guess its an OK splash, nothing fabulous yet

Obviously these are subject to change, and will go through many iterations before hitting live. I think the mages were worked on since pretty much SL launch to get where we were in this last hotfix. Who knows!

:what:

Hooray we're now cleansebots, like archons except we'll be able to cleanse on Kyzan!

:saddowns:

Also Firewall already exists with no cooldown and unless they make Purifier doing damage matter to some extent like Warden doing damage does (or make the 61 point Purifier skill matter) any points to put down extra Fire Walls will probably be the first to be ignored.

I'll probably go look at it on the PTS later in the week after doing raids tonight and tomorrow night (maybe) and stuff.

Forget it man this bat is whack, it's got poobrain!

All of those were posted by Kervik. The positional and cone healing abilities are pants on the head retarded, specially since Flame Cascade has a loving travel time.

edit: I do kinda like the overall changes to Puri (stepping away from shieldbotting) and into a reactionary healer. Still, the ridiculously long cast times on anything not a shield on puri are dumb, they should let us move for some of those.

I've been messing around with my bars tonight in hopes to be able to run BM proficiently in the future. However, I've run into a bit of a deadend. I'm attempting to make a buff bar specifically to monitor the following buff on my pet: http://www.riftscene.com/database/abilities/Fierce-Wounds/. The problem is that I cannot seem to get the proc to show up when I'm checking for the following:


Does anyone have any clue what options I need to be checking for so that I can be tracking this buff?

Are you sure the buff that appears on your pet is actually titled "Fierce Wounds" ?

I've seen talents like that where the buff triggered doesn't match the talent name.

That could be the issue. Hoom (also known as hoom ownz) told me to try using the ability that triggers the buff so I'll give that a shot and see how it works.

The talent is Fierce Wounds, but it applies the buff Fierce Strike which I was trying to convey in game.



It's true though, I do own.
