Default Re: Beef with Spell Consolidation

I would like to see spell consolidation. I hope they make spells mean something more as a wizard, and hope I actually have to watch my aggro managment rather than push buttons in a certain order, which everyone knows and a monkey could be trained to do, and never worry about grabing agro at all in a raid. I hope I have to worry when to cast certain spells so I have to pay attention to the combat, like healers who react with cures, so I do more dps when I cast certain spells at certain times. Stop living in a world of spam, and think of all the skill posibilities if you spells mean something! Think if they do it right it could be an awesome system, rather than a dull, just push buttons as fast as you can system for dps classes.

and this is why you don't have to worry about agro, and I'm sure your lack of attention reflects quite well in your parse.

You mean you don't react when Dispatch is up, or when a memwipe is due? Or anything of the sort? And if you never have to worry about grabbing aggro as a wizard, you obviously aren't doing enough DPS.

Basically, all this thread is about is that a bunch of fucked up whiners think that since things were fucked up since launch things should stay fucked up. Why the fuck can't some of you ass clowns ever learn to think?

Every single fucking class has many spells/CAs that any retarded monkey can see are really just one spell or CA split up into two or more spells or CAs. Open up your fucking knowledge books and read the fucking descriptions you fuckheads.

And yes its soooo hard to figure out use your highest dps first... default wizard cast order with a good tank/set up
pre ice sheild
pre forge of ro
pre ice shape/frigid gift
pull protoferno
1. rending ice
2. freehand
3. fusion
4. ice nova
5. surging tempest
6. incapacitate
7. ball of lava.
8. irradiate
9. fiery convulsions

then spam ball of lava, irradiate, and fiery convulsions till high dps comes back... wooooooo anyone with half a brain can figure that one. Wow you must be elite to figure that... that has absolutly nothing to do with skill... I am a low end raider, don't have time to raid full time and I figured that out, it must be skill because im the best wizard ever. And so is every other one. Its too easy to be good. The sad part is i see plenty of wizards who parse good and put sunstrike high in the order... There guilds must carry them with others parsing high making there parses look high, obviously they suck...

edit: added the /setup

Okay then mr. smarty pants. Let's see you go fully out offensive against Contested Mayong and not pull aggro.

Sure ill just join in on SoN for that one. Oh wait, I must suck and be the worst player ever because I've never killed him! Would I like to? Yes! Do I have time to or in a guild that even has a chance? NO!

I am sure it took hours and hours to have a wizard figure out how to maximise dps, because I mean afterall, we got sooooooo much more to do on raids other than dps... why I can.... Worry about aggro managment... wait prolly not unless they have a mem wipe... even then... same order, might have to pause a second or two. Oh wait! huge ae, better stand back... run in after tank gets hit with it, or some jerk calls it out, run in fusion flames so on so on, yep very little effort... Worry about power?? Well this one might actually be true on Avatars and such, never realy raided them but eh, sounds like fun. But 90% of stuff no worries... Tanks can pull as fast as they want no power breaks...

I, however, do like how they worked cures in, and wish they wouldnt consolidate those... but then I mean how hard is it to pick the right mole when the symbol comes up? but I suppose there is some deciding on which one to cure first, but even then thats only when you first fight a mob, then it might become obviouse which one to cure. But not for everyone I suppose. And knowing is half the battle and what makes the elite elite right?

EDIT: I think I made the wrong choice in class it sounds like! I am lvling up an Illusionist so I can mezz and aggro control and buff on raids! Oh wait... damn... If they are getting rid of procs dang illusionists better be able to mezz and do cool stuff I cant even think of right now on raids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
