Keshik posted:edit: Also, Vandee. I was talking to Rolle this morning and he hasn't had a chance to raid with us. I'm willing to give him my spot, since I don't need anything except the orange upgrades for desolate poo poo at this point (excepting some stuff that Tsu and Loracia need too and have higher priority for). I'll be around, of course, if needed, but I am more than happy to let him sit in for me. I don't know poo poo about poo poo except for disconnects and lag, but tonight is EE, and EE isn't the easiest. I'm kinda surprised we don't have a 2nd FT group together yet, I think we need 2 more good, geared tanks for that to happen. As Esthi and I saw, you can get pretty far in FT with 2 pretty good tanks and 7 poo poo healers. Did a TDQ night ever get off the ground?

Folks on the official forums can't seem to decide which is better. http://rift.magelo.com/en/soultree#5g8/8kGGGGGGliGg/2gJ Builder: #show King of the Hill suppressmacrofailures cast King of the Hill cast Decisive strike cast Piercing Thrust cast Backhand cast Vicious Blow Finisher: #show Killing Field suppressmacrofailures cast Killing field cast Brutal Strike Own key: Battle Surge, Tactical Surge, Empowering Strike, Cutting Slash, Flamespear, Breaking Blow, Arterial Strike, Clear the Breach, No Permission to Die. Some people put Arterial Strike in the builder macro, but I don't! It helps me micromanage the attack point gain a bit easier since my brain cannot handle getting 3AP out of 1 GCD sometimes, and it's a bit less energy intensive to just cast it to re-apply the DoT rather than spamming it for the extra 3k hits. With the change to Surging Energy today you may be able to just dump it into the macro and just forget about it, we'll see tonight. There's some hubbablub about putting A Quick Death into your builder macro too but I haven't tested it really so for now I'm gonna leave it out. There's not really a smooth rotation since attack point gaining is a bit crazy, so it's more of a priority based spec. The whole idea with this spec is keeping up your buffs and 5 DOTs on the target at all times, and spamming your builder and finisher inbetween. Things to keep track of: Empowering Strike (Builder, 15s buffs) Arterial Strike (Builder, OGCD 10s dot) Cutting Slash (Builder, 3 stacks, 15s dot, don't let this fall off) Flamespear (Builder, 15s dot) Battle Surge (Finisher, OGCD 60s selfbuff) Tactical Surge (Finisher, OGCD 60s selfbuff) Breaking Blow (Finisher, 12s debuff on monster) As long as those are all up hit your builder macro and finisher macro. You gain AP erratically so try your best to hit the finisher button whenever you have 3 AP, unless for some reason Cutting Slash is about to fall off. This spec requires living energy/anthem cost reduction so if you want to try to dummy practice it make Murven sit there and bard for you imo. You literally have one ranged ability and target switching blows so it's a limited spec but it shits out gigantic crits like crazy so it's fun to play. Edit: oh yeah you need the Warlord raid crystal. vandiar fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Aug 14, 2013 |

Kreczor posted:What's the priority on cooldowns? I imagine it would be: Basically how I start the fight is: ~Start with 3 AP~ Battle Surge Empower -> Cutting Slash x2 -> Tactical Surge Arterial Strike -> Cutting Slash -> Flamespear -> Breaking Blow Macro x 3 -> Finisher Then whenever I need to reapply I just go Empowering -> Cutting Slash -> Flamespear -> Breaking Blow, and do the Surges when they need to be refreshed. vandiar fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Aug 14, 2013 |

Keshik posted:Tsu, I don't know poo poo about Bladedancer. Do these changes make it viable? It's a nice change, but the problem is, was, and will continue to be that sab is a spec for trash. And maybe Twins. BD was "viable" before, it just has no way to deal with disconnects and isn't ahead of even NB, let alone Sin. If you can do good damage with BD on a single target fight, you'll do better damage with Sin because they have the same ability to deal with disconnects (none) and Sin only loses ~5% DPS when it can't get behind the target, which is a much smaller loss than it would be to change specs from Sin, which is good, as with positional bonuses it's our spec that's parsing the same as Inquisitor.  Right now our big ST DPS specs are Sin and Ranger, everything else in their category is significantly behind and only worth running in event of disconnects (61 NB) or needing a purge/interrupt (MM). Matriarch spec is still Tact/MM, and general purpose AoE/ST is probably still gonna be NB/Sin (because it does about as much as BD in both scenarios, but provides a raid buff in Lethal Poison if we have no Champs, and of course can actually still do damage during disconnects). And we can't even really bring target switching into the equation because ALL of these specs suck at target switching (aside from MM [don't run MM for DPS]).

deimos posted:Did they ever fix Warlord abilities having innate threat modifiers? they fixed breaking blow, but that didn't stop me pulling falconer off a tank today, so i'd say probably not. i would say there's a lot of snap threat in that rotation though (your off gcds start firing around ~10 seconds in) so it's more likely that you'll pull early in the fight rather than midway through.

If bosses are immune to the debuff from Death's Touch for Paragons, do you still get the increased damage from the 4 piece raid crystal? Edit: I don't know what Paragon build any of you guys or gals are using, but I think I could use a little help optimizing it. When I use something like Combat Focus - Reaping Harvest or Flurry and Reaping Harvest, it activates a Follow Up attack. So I'm kind of stuck doing a 2 point finisher with my rotation and buttons. These are my macros and my rotations and build Build - http://www.riftscene.com/soul-builder/?build=1863 (I think I'm going to switch this from 8 Warlord to 8 Champion) Macro 1 #show Shifting Blades suppressmacro failures cast Open the Stream cast Shifting Blades cast Setting Moon Macro 2 #show Death Touch suppressmacrofailures cast Rising Waterfall cast Reaping Harvest Cast Death Touch Macro 3 #show Swift Strike suppressmacrofailures cast Rising Waterfall cast Reaping Harvest cast Swift Strike Macro 4 (Only used on enemies at 30% HP or less.) #show Swift Strike suppressmacrofailures cast Final Blessing cast Reaping Harvest Cast Swift Strike Rotation 1 x 3 2 x 3 3 x 9 (4 x 9 at 30% HP or Less) 1 x 3 3 x 3 (4 x 3 at 30% HP or less) Flurry - Reaping Harvest 3 x 2 (4 x 2 at 30% HP or Less) Self-Buffed, my own dimension, raid boss dummy, no paragon crystal.

That sounds like you scammed him out of 915p. Nah that's really not what happened, this is my take on it: We'll refer to the "vendor" as Party X and the "buyer" as Mr. K. Party X runs a "Service" by which Party X uses the gifting feature of the game to give Bound to Account items (essentially not meant to be tradeable to other players) to other players in return for a nonbinding contract through tells that the recipient of Party X's Services reciprocates compensation of 915 Platinum. Mr. K encounters Party X through a public means of communication and enters into a covenant with Party X for Party X's service. Mr. K then reneges on payment through the technically correct claim that he never agreed to pay. Party X then contacts administrators and gets Mr. K suspended. Note that Party X is making a clever use of game mechanics for some form of gain while I will refrain from making a moral judgment upon Mr. K's actions because that is irrelevant to the record at large. Anyway basically an exploiter actually has the gall to call the police on Kreczor which is what tops off this hilarity. Also Ayn Rand happened somehow which is still really

I like Kreczor, but the defense of "well I didn't say specifically I'd give him money even though that was the deal advertised when I contacted him" is some semantic poo poo some kid tries to get out of a punishment.

Instead, as soon as he saw someone link him a ring he instantly transfers and you have to pay him. I'm not going to argue, my wording was poor and that's probably what I'm getting banned for in the end.

Either way, it's only 24 hours and I appealed it so it doesn't really matter. I'm not going to argue regarding the content of the chat logs since after re-reading it, I can see how dumb I sounded during the initial trade.
