questions and my pathetic parse

Jacaou · 03-27-2008, 07:44 PM

Stint in PR, then my isp crashed. I only had fury buff in group.
I know I have a lot to work on.
Should I not cast contruct on single encounters?
I know I need to do the 30% power thing, but am still getting familiar with the class.
Should I let my dots expire or recast as soon as they are up?
Sometimes I try to fit 2 spells in between beam, I should just do 1 right?
How much do you think a troub is worth to us dps wise?

thanks for any feedback, I can take it

Stint in PR .... still getting familiar with the class.

WTF? ebay?

Nah, bazaar. Have been playing a drige since launch, sold a ranger for an illy. Wanted to keep the support theme.

I can't get the file to upload though. It's too big in word. I only have word and excel. Any suggestions?

Take a screen shot of the parse (hit print screen in windows) and open up paint and paste it and crop it down and save the image as jpg or png or whatever then attach the image to a post.

(run on sentences ftw)

casting order. There is no way shower should have more ticks than beam or prismatic. Make sure beam is cast like, almost every other spell, and that prismatic is cast whenever it is up.

Yeah, BEAM BEAM BEAM. If we only had one spell it would be BEAM. Take it as your master 2. Only spam migraine and brainclot when no other damage spells are up. When velium gift and precision are up, I spam everything I can as well, including regalia and the ae stun, point blank mez...everything to get those procs up. Use beam every other cast (literally...wait .3 seconds for it to come back up rather than waste time with a migraine), then use your spells in order of most damage...Ie, Beam, Adornment, beam, shower, beam, etc.

Beam and Prismatic Adornment are undercasted. Well, fuck everything you have is undercasted. You need to cast more, every time you arent' casting your DPS is dropping. More casting = more DPS. HIT THE BUTTONS!

If you aren't spamming, you aren't trying.

I kind of got thrown into PR with the illy as I always play my dirge. GL asked me if I wanted to try it so I jumped at the chance. I wasted some time with positioning, died once, and running around like an idiot trying to get to 30% power. (which I only accomplished for half of one encounter/sigh) Spend most encounters at 40-50%.

I do spam like crazy, though I had been getting impatient on beam and when it was noy quite up I look to do something else.

thanks a ton for the help all.

I have not grouped with a troub yet so don't know how much they help. Any estimates?

Do you macro Prismatic to anyone in particular or just cast it as it comes up? Scout, MT, brawler?

should I let my dots run thier full course or recast when the spell is availible? Right now I have been recasting over them.

macro it. Better then it accidentally ending up on some wizard that doesn't turn on auto attack.

personally I keep 3 versions of it on my hot bars. one of them not a macro.

on dots: only 2 of them can be refreshed before they expire. ussualy best to only let brainclot expire out of those 2. Recast the other as it is up.
