With this going free to play and Hedonism graciously gifting me Storm Legion, I guess I'm jumping back in to this horrible mess. Apparently my rogue is still in the guild from the last time I un-quit, but I'll probably roll something Guardian side now that guilds aren't faction restricted because I loving love dwarves. And because Jesus Christ how do I play rogue again it's been nearly a goddamn year someone help.

Obscurity posted:Does the game slow down in the 30s or is it just me? Also I mage healed with chloro and hated it. I will likely just come up with excuses not to heal as I go :/ Leveling slows down a bit but not really a whole lot, until you get to SL and the usual expansion level crawl hits. Chloro healing pre-50 can also be incredibly painful since you're missing Void Life, which makes single-target healing so much easier than spamming Vile Spores. Once you get that it gets a lot better, so I'd suggest giving it another try then.

I would be all over an ID run in between my attempts to actually gear up to raid ready levels. I need more mounts I'll never use because I have a hell bug and a goddamn pirate hat.

Mormon Star Wars posted:edit: Going off the straight tooltips LBV will always have lower numbers than LGV, since LBV is so drastically modified by Synthesis and the incidental AoE healing it provides naturally is there to top off anyone else who gets splashed with incidental damage. Synthesis+LBV is intended to be the Chloro's single-target healing option, but at lower levels that can be a little wonky due to scaling issues. Try both out and watch numbers to see which one works better in your level range.

Zoness posted:I don't see why people see Archon as a bitch role when being a good Archon has a huge bearing on whether your raid kills a progression fight or not. The roles you don't double up on are more important not less important. If anything, being a good Archon is rather tough because you want to manage your charge for power draining and want to track when best to use flaring power in a raid situation while packing good utility. It's because a lot of people see being an Archon or Bard as a sign that your DPS isn't good enough to actually be put into a DPS role, so they get it into their head that support roles are some kind of punishment. I agree that a good archon can make or break the fight, though. I might have to learn it because from the one time I did it last night I really enjoyed it, and that way I could be a special snowflake.

necrotic posted:Archon is amazing. It's easily my favorite spec to raid with. On the DPS note: bad archons only go 61 archon, but 51 archon/25 pyro is where it's really at; 50k Cinder Burst instant-cast crits whatup. Yeah, I was running 58 Archon/18 Dom so I had Bulwark to ease myself into debuff management a little easier, but now that I've played around with it a little I think I'll switch to 51/25 for some more personal DPS. A couple more debuffs to toss up and a Pillaging Stone stack to manage seems easy enough to keep track of, especially since Lingering Dust doesn't need to be kept up religiously.

Fat_Cow posted:So, I bought this game at launch and was thinking about playing again when f2p dropped. How exactly do I play a Harbringer since it does not show up in my soul list when I create a character? Harbinger is unavailable without Storm Legion, or purchasing the soul off the cash shop after tomorrow. So unfortunately you can't play around without dropping some cash.

This cash shop is pretty loving cool. Used some of my free sub credits to get a 150% speed mount, then plunked down another 20 bucks and bought more bag slots then entirely too many Deeps Supply Boxes I like that you can get the relic quality new runes out of there, I got the chest SP/Int one I'll carry along with unsocketers and a few others I'm trying to make some plat with on the AH.

Quests out in the world are still faction-based, but you can always do dungeons or IAs together which are faster anyway. Or if it's the races that you want, buy a faction transfer.

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.

Eltoasto posted:Cleric endgame DPS right now is adequate. You won't be topping the charts, but you can do enough to fill the role. It's also worth noting that Clerics are next on the list after the final mage changes and will probably get some nice boosts/reworks. I've never played cleric in endgame and don't even particularly like how the class functions from what I have, but I would really like to see them get some love in the DPS category. Playing a paladin in Cata made me sympathetic to any class that should be able to DPS well but can't.

I've been doing experts entirely as a 61 Archon/11 Pyro/4 Harb and 61/ Arch/11 dom/4 Pyro, what should I learn if I want to get in on these Goon raids? You need to learn to get off Archon that is my turf*.  Joking aside, the popular DPS builds right now are 61 Pyro and 61 Warlock, other than that a Chloromancer role is nice to have in case you need to heal. Eltoasto made a really nice effortpost of builds on page 4 of this thread that has the details. *Or Abu's I guess but he's been really nice and let me do it a lot.

Throwing it out in the thread so more people than just Vandee know, my attendance is going to be pretty spotty for the next few weeks while I help my brother out with his business and stuff around the house while he recovers from surgery. I'll try to make it if I can, but tomorrow is definitely a no go and I can't give definites for anything else. Clearly you all can kill Crucia and I can ride your coattails to gear.

They really just made Harbinger too good with regards to early talents you can grab in other specs, and with Lightning Blade. Almost every single spec taking 5 points in Harb is really getting old.

Kreczor posted:Approach from the south end of the room. Tank turns boss towards the north end, everyone else should stack on the boss' butt. If you get pushed back immediately teleport back behind the boss or run back. This should happen 2-3 times before they start throwing lightening around. When this happens, run behind a pillar and away from the robots. If a robot catches you, use your pvp ability to break stun. You can also go behind any of the robots at any time and insta-kill them with the pop-up ability. That's pretty much it, if you don't use break free you will die to the stun from the adds. With horrible pubbies it really is easier to go around stabbing bots yourself. Otherwise it's going to be a giant clusterfuck. So in one sentence: Stab robits, don't blow up.

I threw this spec together last night and tried it out on the TB dummy, got 18k and poo poo my pants before I remembered it's within AoE distance of the other dummies. Went to our guild dummy and put out about 11k as well, with a lot more interesting rotation than Pyro. I like it. You get a little gravemaker buddy when Parasite goes off.

KaneTW posted:Doesn't WoW have a colorblind mode? I wish Rift had that (I never played WoW so I don't know how effective it is there) So far as I can remember colorblind mode in WoW just added some icons to loot rarity and some other small quality of life changes, I don't think it did anything to circles or whatever that might pop up. It's been years since I turned it on out of curiosity when it was first implemented though so I could be wrong. WoW did briefly have a really cool mod that would throw down super bright colored circles of your choice during AoEs, though. Of course it was immediately patched to be impossible to actually use because people were coloring literally everything bosses did that you might need to move for so it was deemed an exploit mod. I still think it was really useful for the whole colorblind thing, though.
