I have my dps stance. I notice a difference using it.

I still need to get some dps gear pieces. I'm only ahead of you by about 1-2k dps. I don't have the gauntlets, choker, or dps shoulders yet (missed getting my set shoulders last night, rotten troub had more dkp.) I do have 119% spell crit.

Keep picking up gear and spell upgrades. We'll catch up to those high parsing Furies.

May I suggest pulling 2 points out of the fury tree to put into your dps stance to try it out sooner? I did that to get my endline stances and haven't missed anything out of that tree while I'm filling it back out. I have 70 in druid, 60 in tso, and the rest in fury tree. I only have 182 aa's right now.

My Illy always give me TC because I'm the only healer in the group. On rare occasions I get Tandem.... very rare. And to be honest, I don't even know what Tandem is. /blush

I see you use Storm Bolt over Lightning Bolt a lot. Does that have a faster recast?

Also, what are you using that proc's Greater Void Bane?

So I guess I'll go back to an old question, What is your casting order? I mean 16K is insane. I'm sure you have uber gear. For DPS I have a mix of Legendary/Fabled leather/cloth stuff to get my Spell Crit as high as possible (only at 82% right now). I'm in a casual guild and don't expect to do 16K... or even 10K like Krista, but right now I'm only hitting about 3500-4000 using my DPS AA spec and DPS gear. I'd love to hit 5k+.

Or maybe I just suck....

P.S. Oh... and I finally got my Mythical last week! /cheer

i only use call of karana on a encounter of 5 mobs or more and don't leave it up for full duration, i cancel it as soon as starshower is back up. my spell order on single encounters is LB,DS,Tyhoon,SS,fae immo, repeat but cast wrath of nature to finish the fight usually since lb is down, sometimes i get lucky and have time to cast a quick DS for the killshot! my order for big encounters is wrath of nature SS, Call of karana, cancel it as soon as starshower comes back up, then lb on mob with dispatch then repeat, oh and i usually cast ball lightning on incoming. ill edit this post with a ss of my dps gear

Krista · 03-24-2009, 10:17 PM

My casting order is pretty garbage considering Typhoon is broken. I still use it, though 'cause it's habit.

Typhoon, DS, LB, Wrath, Fae, Hibernate, Typhoon, DS, LB (MS depending on the mob and when PotM is up).

After those, it really depends on what's going on. If I have Vortex up, I stick to more spells over Infusion, and especially if PotM or PoM is up. If none are up I veer more towards Infusion damage because the nukes aren't hitting as hard or proc'ing extra damage.

Lol, imagine if Infusion could proc proc damage.

Cythera · 03-25-2009, 12:31 PM

All that proc gear. I better get to finding some more.
I did pick up Hood of Dark Dealings over the weekend. Yay for a bunch of mages taking a Saturday off!

newest gynok parse had tc and tandem

Sharakari · 03-28-2009, 12:09 PM

So I got another AA to get DPS Stance and played with my casting order a bit. On trash in Palace of the Ancient One, I was hitting 5.5K. After the raid I went and got the Wilderness T2 shoulders for the +8% to base damage. I also won a Tunic off a trash mob in PoAO that had +4 to Crit Spell and Heal (but surprisingly no Void Bane). Still want to get the Storm Warden Chest Piece from Sebilis.

We'll see how the Monday night raid goes.

Sharakari · 04-08-2009, 05:50 PM

So I've picked up some decent gear over the weeks. Dark Mail Gauntlets, T2 Void Shard Shoulders, Praetor's Guard... and I'm maintaining about 5.5K now. That's up about 1K over a month ago. Not too bad. I was just wondering what kind of groups you guys get put in. I have been in the caster group that is made up of:

Fury
Necro
Warlock
Conjy
Illy
Troub

Is that the best group to be in? My Illy always give me TC because Im the only healer in the group and she thinks it will help with faster healing on the group. She occasioanlly gives me Tandem. The Troub is spotty. Sometimes they raid, sometimes they don't. So I'm just curious what other group makeups are.

Sharakari · 04-08-2009, 05:53 PM

Another question. When in DPS spec, I have 11 buffs including the diety pet. Can you make a macro that will chain cast the buffs? If so, what's the command to "cast" a buff? Or can you just drag and drop the spells in the macro window?

Scrownge · 04-08-2009, 06:38 PM

unfortunately you cannot queue up more than 2 abilities at once in a macro

EQ2Interface : Fury Buffs : Fury Buffs

Haven't tried it myself - but if you are so inclined you could try this.
