This is second hand information, Amory was talking directly to them but:
- They didn't want to move shards because they are pubbies.
- They had a person or two leave because the guild did not want to do sign ups.
- They are no longer using sign ups and will invite on a whim. (So I am guessing that maybe 3 or 4 of us will get into the raids, the ones that can fill important spots like MT/OT and Heals)
- They may stop doing 20 mans altogether.

Oh, nice. It would be pretty hilarious if we moved to raid with them and then they stopped raiding.

I've only been gushing over @gtae a million times since 2.3 and no one seems to understand the importance.

For mages it's only really useful for Archon and Dominator. Maybe you are gushing over it with mages who never play those specs? Alternatively (and more likely) they are stupid.

I wish I'd seen this before... placing Lava Field is annoying as gently caress on some fights (like Artifex, the grating always hosed with it for me).

lsp posted:

On macros where I may not always have a target selected I put a line underneath the gtae part so it looks like:

cast @gtae spell
cast spell

I do this for most macro that uses any of the target modifiers. It's really nice to be able to use the same macro for quick `@mouseoverui` crap, or to let it pass-through my target if I just want that.

I'm not sure about Withering Vine's interaction with veils but it has its own built-in heal.

IANAC, but I'm pretty sure you toss it up if there is >1 target you can apply it to. It's life damage, so it does tick LGV/LBV, but I don't think the heals from that part are all that significant. But having it up on a few targets can be a couple hundred more HPS.

Eltoasto posted:

Withering is a decent heal, mine ticks for 500-600. So if it is up on 3 targets, that's 1500 for the raid. The issue is more using cooldowns and switching targets to apply it. As a tank healing chloro, you just don't have the GCD's to waste with some of the content. Tanks get blasted very quickly.

Yeah, I always used it as a supplement when AOE healing, and never during big damage phases (unless I can manage to get them up before the phase starts).

Really Stampy? REALLY?

Has Stampy ever archoned?

roboticbears posted:

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. Anybody willing to take a crack at the other 3 (specifically regarding the max level content)?

To correct Stampy on one small thing: 61 archon is only useful in very specific circumstances (I don't ever run it anymore). 51/25 Pyro is the go-to and does solid DPS on top of providing all of the useful Archon stuff. Crucia requires a slightly different spec (58 Archon / x dom, I forget the exact spec) that helps a lot. And if you have a BM you can go like 40 archon/36 pyro (i think that's it, I can't look at mine right now) and do competitive DPS while playing off of the BM's support additions.

I can't really comment on Storm Caller outside of saying it's rarely used as more than a sub-soul, and I only use it with my soloing spec for the 8-target forked lightning.

Necromancer is dead, but can be fun (who doesn't love zombies?). Just don't expect to do competitive DPS with it.

Elementalist is good if you are super lazy and want to mash a single button. But, again, a little lower on the DPS side of things. You get a pet, though.

You had one job Mandulis. One job.

Seriously though, three bosses that most of the raid (including me!) hadn't seen before is really good, especially with no loot getting sharded because no one needed it. Also the super-happy-fun attempt at Crucia bodes well, I'll have to spec into Archon/Dom for Arresting Presence on that to make it a bit easier.

Run this. You want the mana drain 3rd phase (first one where you actually fight Crucia). And then, of course, the AP for the turrets.

Cleric healing is all traditional raid frame whack-a-mole, right? Excepting Defiler, which you run at most one of?

I don't play cleric so I'm not 100% sure, but I if you're AOE healing I don't think there's any "raid frame" whack-a-mole, its all cooldowns/spam buttons (and dots). ST healing is probably mostly done through targeting the tank and smashing your heal buttons.

AP is so OP for some fights (Azhrius comes to mind).

Basically. I think (and I am not a good rift theory crafter) that 58/18 and 51/25 are the important archon specs to have around (with 51 winning if you don't have space for 58). If you archon a lot get the 40/36 for use with Beastmaster's, otherwise its useless.
