For PvP.... if mez lands, players still blow up on breaking it.

Betrayed for guild needs and was asked if I wouldn't mind. I don't mind trying something different.

With that said... T8 raid kills last night... god illy's have it easy. I don't have to stare and my maintained window the entire fight (reactives)and can just pump out the dps. ... is pretty fun, I'll say that.

After clearing T1 and progressing on T2, I can say STR line is definitely FTL for us, unless you limit yourself to certain trash. Most named have a joustable AE that would lower our dps if we were constantly jousting in all the way to 15m range, and even some trash have an AE can be avoided at max range (like the fears in Thuuga).

Not thrilled with STA line, though, but the healer seems to be happy if they happen to notice it

I would like to try out the str tree but i cant find a good weapon with a big dmg range. Anybody have seen such a weapon drop in RoK?

\aITEM -1598683725 1405079690:[Betrayal's Song]\/a is pretty good. Drops in Protector's Realm.

\aITEM -1136430526 1996356593:[Carotidcutter]\/a Not as good but is the fabled drop from last named in Crypt of Agony.

That's all I've seen so far.

I use the STR line mostly becuase im on a pvp server. I still think my ddps is respectible. We did Pawbuster last night and my Zonewide upto PB (zone trash) was 2764.02. Think I peaked around 3600. It was our first pass thru the zone.

Will be nice to be able to swap spec's now at will I'd love to see what i could do in a full DPS spec.

To be honest, I use a different spell order, and sit around 2.3-8k a fight. Keep in mind though I'm with a Troubador, Conjuror, Warlock, Fury, and Ranger.

Chronosiphoning
Beam
Adornment
Lesion
Pessimism
Brainclot
Gamma Storm
Chromatic Shower
Beam

Then just spam whatever is up. Always yield for the high damage spells though.

I'm lazy, and I have a reoccuring RSI in my shoulder from too much EQ2. I just use a text file in my eq2 folder with the following in it.

usea Chronosiphoning
usea Ultraviolet Beam
usea Gamma Storm
usea Pessimism
usea Brainclot
usea Construct of Rationality
usea Chromatic Shower
usea Lesion
usea Manatap
usea Daunted
usea Prismatic Chaos

Then I just spam my /do_file_commands Twisting.text hotkey as fast as I can weaving in other spells as needed. I usually manage 3k ZW. I only cast by hand if I'm really bored. It's not the most efficient means out there, but it get the job done and it's easy.

Chaos should be MUCH higher on that list, if it goes from top to bottom. I would definitely put Chaos above Brainclot or Pessimism, probably right below UV Beam.
