In game I'm Roth Devereaux in TPT Speaking of those moments, I was dealing out dps and didn't notice a small lag spike. This led to my tank being one attack from death so I swiftcasted benefic 2 and I forget what the instacast cure is but that one. It looked totally clutch but I felt like such a dick for him getting that low

Thanks you two! I really need a sheet to match up in-game names with Discord names with SA names. God knows mine are all completely different.

It's fine to not be amazing at healer dps, it's kind of a thing you work on and get a feel for just don't be the whm i got in o2n that had 67% overheal and had their highest healing total come from the initial cast of medica 2 (which they used 97 times)

I just want to sure I'm not ignoring a key ability, or just generally doing things wrong. Adlo isn't efficient to use as a primary heal because it costs an extreme amount of mana for just a 300 potency heal. It has a shield but targets die at 0 HP, and the shield doesn't give them more. Everything else looks OK, but there's no reason to use Ruin 2 unless you like (or need) to move around while doing it. It's the same potency for more mana. Bane is still probably worth using over Energy Drain on packs of enemies. I don't really know how DoT calculations work.

^Bane is absolutely better when you are dealing with a pack of mobsCapn Jobe posted:I've been steadily leveling as a scholar for the last couple weeks, currently at level 46, and have a lot more abilities than before. I just want to sure I'm not ignoring a key ability, or just generally doing things wrong. Sounds like you are doing good. Three small notes if you want to be a big old try hard. 1) Use your oGCD skills after an instant cast spell, like Ruin II or that one instant cast dot. Since you have a short waiting period after you use your instant GCD skills, using your oGCD stuff then lets you avoid clipping into your big spells. Using Ruin II > Energy Drain > Ruin II > Energy Drain is a nice burst of damage. 2) Don't heal tanks above 90%. Your fairy is lazy, and will only cast their heal on targets who are around 89% or lower. By keeping tanks with partial HP, you can ensure that your fairy is constantly casting, and your tank is still safe, thanks to the HP buffer your shields provide. 3) You can set your fairies to Obey, and micro manage their skills. This is mostly useful for Eos to apply her heal potency boost before she uses her aoe regen, and for making sure that regen is buffed with spur.

Note to any aspiring healers out there: massive AOE healspam like this actually *hurts* partywide dps because the tank has to spend more time generating enmity and less on doing damage in order to keep the idiot healer from getting murdered.

A note about bane: make sure you actually see your second dot go up on the enemy's debuff bar before you cast it. Depending on latency, if you try to cast it immediately after your second dot cast finishes, you might end up only spreading one of the dots, which is always a bad time. I forget what level you get shadow flare and lustrate at but make sure you're using those, too.

it's totally fine to not bother controlling your fairy outside of endgame raiding, but in that case you should use selene over eos.

For some reason, if I do Miasma->Bio 2 ->Bane, I have this problem almost every time, but not if I do Bio 2->Miasma->Bane.

It has a shield but targets die at 0 HP, and the shield doesn't give them more. While it's true that you shouldn't rely on Adlo as a primary spell because it costs a lot more, you can pretty much just treat shields as more health. Enemies have to deplete the entire shield before it actually deals damage to HP, so shields are (more or less) a heal that can go beyond the target's max HP.

The more important thing is to not cast adlo back to back. Well, unless it's a wall to wall pull and there's legitimately that much damage going out continuously.

Would be up for paying to switch servers, are there many UK goons playing these days? I'm well past the days were I can stay up until 3am to play with yanks and still function.  Going to just plod along with the story for a bit and try to get back into the swing of things for a few days. I only played for 3 months last time around so have poo poo load of content still, not even up to heaven sword. Was thinking of getting the PS4 compete version, worked out at about the same as storm blood when I shopped about, how are those little PS4 keyboards that attach to the pads? I can just get a wireless keyboard or use my headset for chat if they are shite.

Eurogoons are located on Omega. The FC "Please Calm Down" is who you're looking for. This may be a better choice for you, given that this year, the NA servers were moved from Montreal.... to Sacramento. (Yes, we don't like that it was moved there either. Even the Californians.)

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep an eye on the thread and look into moving once I get back into the swing of things. Scared shitless of running as a tank in any dungeons at the minute, can't remember what the hell I'm doing.

I just got a good 20 minutes of cut scenes that helped me remember what was going on and have the hang of the controls again. I guess tomorrow I'll try to figure out what is lucrative to sell again. By the looks of things I was selling Alumen and aldgoat leather. Is that still worth the hassle of should I check out some guides?

Here's something I've never bothered to test; if someone casts a Rez on a character, does the game prevent other party members from casting a Rez on the same person? Or can conceivably all the healers and rdms/smns cast their rez spells and blow their MP at the same time?
