Buffs

Balladess · 06-02-2009, 03:44 PM

As I do not play other classes I haven't taken the time to see what they have to offer me. Is there an easy list somewhere telling me what each class brings to the table to help ME boost dps and the such?

Here's a list of purely offensive-ish buffs. I'm not including stat buffs, and I'm probably leaving a few things out so feel free to correct me.

Dirge:
1. Groupwide dps mod buff
2. Groupwide weapon skill buff
3. Battle Cry: 15% double attack plus 5% flurry(triple attack)
4. Luck of the Dirge: Increases item proc rates (might apply to spell as well, either the dirge or temp one does, not sure)
5. Blade Chime: 100% proc off of all melee attacks, interrupts, and increases haste for long duration, raidwide with mythical, can be enhanced to increase item proc rates

In my experience, I've parsed the greatest numbers with this group setup:
Shadowknight, Mystic, Inquisitor, Troub, Illusionist, Wizard.

But my dream team is:
Shadowknight, Mystic, Inquisitor, Troub, Illusionist, Dirge

Guardians have +29 to melee skills i believe, also around +120 ca and spell from aa (shared with zerker).

Warden and fury dmg shield does not stack but the fury one is superior because it effect the whole encounter and not only single target.

Druuna · 06-02-2009, 09:25 PM

Illy's also have that Destructive Rampage or w/e group buff, 10% spell/ca dmg for 20 seconds

evilastro · 06-03-2009, 11:00 AM

You forgot that Coercers add mental damage to your taunts with their mythical. About 800ish damage.

Swash and Brig have a spell like our Essence Siphon.

Wardens get double attack and accuracy added to instinct with raid sets.

evilastro · 06-03-2009, 11:07 AM

My dream team would be SK, Mystic, Dirge, Troubador, Warlock, Illusionist. But thats just greedy. Either bard and chanter in a group is fine by me.

Mezelline · 06-03-2009, 11:50 AM

Thanks for the updates guys, I have edited the original post accordingly.

Vainamoinen · 06-03-2009, 12:03 PM

Dethreat on Tandem only applies to non-fighter targets, so no need to worry about it.

Balladess · 06-04-2009, 12:51 AM

Druuna · 06-04-2009, 09:43 AM
