Default Re: Aoe timers for VP

I don't really put a lot of work into those timer presets either. By "nature" mobs will not cast spells 100% predictably and if they do at one point, as your raids starts to overpower the mob over the months, they will cast them less often due to whatever. Casting speed debuffs, interrupts at the right time... whatever. I usually keep a mental memory of timers and if I need to call them early or later than I have listed... I don't bother to edit the timers themselves because I don't care.

Then something like this comes along, and it always will so whatever, people wanting timer presets. Honestly I only ever put them up there was so that if people lost their settings, they would not have to start from scratch. They are not there as a cheat sheet... and that's why I rarely update it.

There was recently a discussion on making a spell timer here: http://www.eq2flames.com/general-act...ate-timer.html

Default Re: Aoe timers for VP

BTW on that subject, if i got aoe timers checked on the timer list, do i need to click on the specific timer or act gonna tell me automatically which aoe it's recognizing?

And well i cleared VP with 3 different guilds and it's not like i want shortcuts so i can get my myth faster (got 3 myths already so can't be arsed) but now i'm in aoe calling duty and just wanted to make it go smoother.. i mean i know how to figure out aoe names and timers (thanks for the theards about the spell timer calcualtion it rocked), but you there's no reason to spend too much time on that subject anyway.

Which timer? How long it takes to kill him? Like 30 seconds unless you have a full group, then it'll go faster.

Incorrect on all counts sir !

The only way to have fun is to have your hand held through every encounter you don't first pull.

Hey, you pay to play the game too. If thats what makes it fun for you, then have at it. Fortunately, some people have fun solving the encounters, and some people have fun walking others through them.
