Hey guys let first start of with saying sorry for yet onther newb post. But ive been trying to find posts here about how to play a Illy like the coercer forums have without anyluck.

But here is my background: Im a lvl 80Coercer being asked by my guild to betray to illy for the raid force. i would say im a fairly decent coercer. i have 127AA

just a couple things i would like to know.

1) AA set up for both trees, what would be best for raiding in grp with Wiz,Brig,Troub,Me,Lock,Ranger/Conj

2)Best Spell Casting order for max DPS/utility

Links will work to, and thanks in Advance for the help =)

Is it just some illy thing? I mean, i come to these boards, because i'm new and want to do some research, and i look through the threads ont his board because, for some odd reason theres no FAQ...

and ever god damn thread has someone saying "use search" and then you search and every god damn response to the search brings up something that says use search...

maybe you jack asses could actually be helpfull. Maybe the jack ass that runs this place could put up a god damned FAQ.

Jesus, i haven't seen people this retarded since the WoW forums. Pully our heads out of your asses. You wouldn't have these questions if there were more helpfull stickies.

For AAs, get Agi and Int. 3rd line is your choice: usually STR or STA.
In the Illy tree, get TC, IA and Illuminate.

For dps, here's a recent post by Pinski:

UStorm is also not casted as often anymore because of the change to Lesion and Drain a while ago.

Basically setup a prioirty of:

Prismatic Adornment
Chromatic Shower
Brainclot(Master)
Ultraviolet Beam
Brainclot(Adp3)
Storm(AE)
Lesion
Drain Consciousness(Master)
Pessimism
Drain Consciousness(Adp3)
Storm(Single)

While casting Construct and Chronosiphoning at the very start of the fight, else don't bother casting Construct at all, unless the AEs are lined up in a way that will let you do so.

Er.... I just noticed this but... wtf is w/ the Brainclot(Master) then after a beam a Brainclot(Adept3) ?

How can you cast the same spell using a different 'rank'?

You're dumb.

No, you idiot. I'm an old returning player and trying to see if there are changes that could have been made that aren't common knowledge.

Nice response by the way, I hope you didn't hurt yourself.

No, you are dumb because you can't figure out obviously it means if you don't have m1, this is where to place it with adp3!

Cal stfu. That answered my question though. I didn't understand your formatting is all.

Again, I merely thought maybe there was something I didn't know there.
