Damage Temp Buff Order

Latpow681 · 08-10-2009, 05:26 PM

Right now I got several Temp buffs... PoM, 10% Base damage buff, Trak's Belt, JW Book, Mana Shroud w/ 5% base bonus.

I usually try my best to stack them all on pulls, and refresh as they come up. This uses up so much time though... and most trash it's down 10, 20% by the time my last temp is cast. How do you guys handle all your temps? I've studied the casting order threads, but theres nothing on how these buffs are used.

Palace trash I used to alternate POM and DR, I think on boss fights I still staggered them so I wouldn't risk wasting both buffs if I died or had to stop casting.

You sure you don't mean Destructive Rampage the last TSO illu ability? And I'm pretty sure it's not base damage if that's the one you mean.

I usually start off with Rampage and hope troub casts potm after. Then once it runs out again I usually in line for a Jcap (if I am lucky :P) so I can cast pom. I don't bother with any clicky books and stuff and don't use trak belt.

I prefer to not cast it all at once as it seams better to try to spread the dps out a bit on longer fights. And like Slips said it's very annoying to cast it all and then die to aggro or something silly 5 sec into the fight and have nothing left to cast.

I stack PoM and DR... DR increases the damnage that PoM will do.

Depending on the fight i might save mana shroud to be a mana regen buff.. if its a fight with no ae's, then i just use it when i have downtime in my casting order. Same for clicking NHT ring

I actually don't know whether it is, but I always assumed it was. Does anyone know for sure? If it's normalized damage, that's pretty sucky

Rampage will only affect class spells and CA, not pom as it's aa skill (I think :P)

I don't know what debauchery just went on in this thread if people are asking if DR is base damage.
