Well?

It's quiet here today. Did SOE lose it's coercers before the big update or is everyone too busy enjoying the changes?

I fucking love that I can DPS like a madman now, instead of a retard. I went from being beaten by the troubs to giving the warlocks/wizards a run for their money.

What does everyone else think?

Lots more chatter in game in the channel than I've seen normally, so I'm guessing people are actually playing their coercers nowadays, and I assume they're enjoying it.

I don't know about you, but I'm still nowhere near our sorcerers on the parses. Perhaps my DPS leaves a lot to be desired, but my zw in korsha last night was slightly under 4.1k which is a lot more than what I am used to there and I still wasn't near our sorcerers.

The changes are great though. I'm liking the fact that I can finally outparse classes other than healers.

It's more like... I'm afraid to voice my excitement.

The very first thing I did is make a macro with Tyrannous Mind and put my characters name as the target. That should net you some increased DPS on the parses. Due to the way the spell function the DPS is assigned to the person you cast it on so you may be helping the other casters beat you if you cast it on them.

Er? I think no matter who you have it cast on it still reacts as your damage. Regardless it would be stupid to cast it on anyone but yourself, unless you plan on being stunned or stifled when you know someone else wouldn't be.

Wrong and wrong.

See, test it yourself before you try to think because I KNOW whoever is cast on is credited with the damage even though it should always be credited to the coercer. Then the whole issue of casting on someone else is for stacking before the pull, so you have 2 full Tyrranous Minds at the start of a fight.

Along with this Tyrannous Mind issue, Hostage not landing on certain static mobs is problematic as well. Other than that, I think everything's great.
