Anyone know the respawn on Vraksakin?

Stoic

3 to 4 days I believe. I have an alt still on befallen that is at his spawn spot if you would like me to check every so often heh.

Appreciate that. I have my alt camped down there as well. I've seen him once, just had a guild raid and by the time we were done he was dead.

Mephiston

yeah i camped him a fair while too

Got Vraksakin for the first time tonight. Appreciate the help w/ the spawn timers and such. He dropped the 2h slasher and no club, but now I cant track him better and know what I need to drop him.

Well, there's your problem! You're healing!

I recently respec'd my AAs for the battle cleric line. Got a good slow one handed hammer with 3.5 second delay with 253 max damage rating (Grim Brimstone Hammer off Mayong). This combined with 100% crits from the cleric tree makes for some nice auto-attack damage...when I hit that is. The SoD hammer is also a good one, especially after upgraded to the Soulfire Hammer

Here's what I've been doing recently, for what it's worth...

When encountering trash mobs while raiding (i.e. when I don't need to do much healing) I'll throw on Yaulp, do a macro'd HO with two DoT CA's (Writing Strike and Strike of Flames), and get a couple debuffs off (Debase & Convict) while the DoT's are ticking. Then I'll hit my aoe CA (Litany Circle) which has a long recovery time during which I cast Forced Obedience or a splash heal, etc. Hit Enhanced Fanaticism, and use CA's between auto-attacks for the rest of the fight.

In EoF raid zones, I've been getting about 800 to 1100 dps. And that's with about 200 strength and 400 int. I'm now looking to swap out equipment with higher str stats for increased melee damage while clearing trash.

By the way, /weapon with fanaticism running for my hammer shows 1.8 second delay, which is ample time to get a CA/cures/basic heals/debuffs off between auto-attacks.

What have some of the rest of you been doing?

our inquis does better than this, but this is just last weeks Tacticians armor fight.




oh yea, he was tanking, lol. did pretty well too.

Mephiston

i knew i should have saved last nights parses a shade under 2200 in EH

dont use a 1 hander when straight dpsing i too use the GBH but 2handers seriously own 1 handers for us.

hell even the BlackScaleMaul can out do the GrimBrimstoneHammer if u time it perfectly.

and that honestly is the key, auto atack and timing.

and screw our debuffs wen full burning. sumthing u have to accept is when dpsing your either going to do great numbers or poor numbers, if you have to pause even for a second to cure, heal, rez or sum muppet drags the mob out of range and u miss a swing your dps will plummet.


and tbh if were full burning the mob probably doesnt need our lack luster debuffs

on a semi related subject i was in a mage group the other day and b4 i /wrists i got gifted with agitate, good fucking god that buff is awsome.


and the interesting thing about the above parse is it shows how completely worthless the STR line is, 1% and 2% wow.

and where the f is bladed fury?!

Luuk

Thanks for that parse post, Malcom. I agree with Mephiston about the str line--a couple of % to the inq dps for 8+ APs seems a costly expenditure. I haven't tried this yet, but what about putting the points into the agility cleric line to get the double attack increase instead?

And GBH adds another 11.6% to double attack which would seem to edge it above the Blackscale Maul, doesn't it, since both have a maximum crit damage rating of about 322 when Fanaticism is running?

(I need to read up on the hammer thread going on http://www.EQ2Flames.com/inquisitors...-question.html.)

I'm curious what was the raid DPS with your 2200 inq parses, Meph? I should qualify my stated 800-1100 dps with the raid dps at about 24 - 30k.

Mephiston

it varied but bounced between 40s. and 30s depending on various things.

this is with basically only a dirge buffs, illy was busy with the melee.

agi line is an excellent asset to us and i cudnt recomend it more.

and the max hit on the GBH just doesnt compare with the BSM at all. i mean hell the bsm can max crit well into the 3k range in a not overly stacked group, combined with double attack and haste...yeah 2handers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1 handers
