Kettlepip posted:I really liked this game a lot at launch, but quit shortly after realising that combat was essentially bashing macros and never went back. I'm not saying macros are a bad thing (they aren't); but copy / pasting the optimal list from the forum and then throwing ten abilities into a macro for your 'basic' attack just seemed pretty daft. Did this ever change? Depends on class. Certain souls had CDs removed or lowered on abilities you really don't want to spam, but most rotations can be simplified to a few macros. I main a rogue, and in that Tac and bard is about all I can think of where macros aren't useful, but bard doesn't have that many buttons that need pressed with any frequency and tac is a pretty simple above 30%/below 30% rotation despite the number of buttons.

Hashtag Yoloswag posted:lovely MM macros for Karx Woah, there's a right way and a wrong way to be lazy for MM, and macroing BE and DES into your main builder is not the way to do it (they're pretty much just to recharge energy if/when you need it). Also, it may be that I have poor luck, but macroing break free into everything seems to always result in me using it on something that was only gonna last a second or two anyway, and not having it when it'd actually be nice to have. Given that Karx is level 39, taking out break free and moving BE/DES to it's own macro would be all I'd do, but I personally do what amounts to 2+2 button marksman. I have 2 main spam buttons I hit and 2 extra buttons I hit essentially on CD, but they're long CDs. The 2 extra buttons of course being Strafe and Quick Reload. Builder: #show Empowered Shot suppressmacrofailures cast Free Recoil cast Empowered Shot cast Swift Shot #show Rapid Fire Shot suppressmacrofailures cast Decoy cast Rapid Fire Shot cast Hasted Shot Also, you're generally going to get a lot more damage replacing fan out in that macro with chain destruction.

Hashtag Yoloswag posted:They're not in my main builder what Yeah, there's no problem with trying to help people (and posting what you do know is a good thing, since if you're talking about something other than rogues, you might get a response from someone who actually does complex rotations correctly and does their own research). And really I only commented on the BE/DES because it pops up from time to time on the official forums from people who last played back when Empowered Shot wasn't such a significant part of the MM DPS. Also, I should clarify what I said earlier: having or not having Break Free in the macros is entirely personal choice, and my poor luck with it should not be seen as an attempt to dissuade you from using if it works for you. Verranicus posted:Thanks to you too! I've really only PVP'd as a Ranger or (on other characters way back when)Chloromancer or Pyro, so I was just curious to see if going MM would have be a marked improvement to my PVP damage over my usual Ranger PVE spec. You don't have two of the abilities in my macros at your current level, so if you're constantly moving my macros won't actually be any different than Hashtag Yoloswag's would be, and I think one of the times I was rewriting a sentence the fact that it was for level 60 got erased  .

Actual positives and negatives that are immediately obvious as to the transfer. Positives: Few premade groups in pvp (this is literally the same thing as saying no Seastone). Guild we actually have a working relationship to possibly raid with. The server we are on is one that is actually open to transfers. Holy gently caress we might be one of the best guilds progression-wise on the server. Negatives: Crossevents@Laethys is, at best, a pale imitation of Crossevents@Faeblight, and hardly anyone uses it. Three Springs is pretty empty compared to Deepwood, not just in the AH, but in the open world and events and everything else. Pretty much everything on Crossevents that I saw was on the Wolfsbane server, so I'd expect to be there if you're doing stuff or maybe on Laethys if it's fairly late and you're trying to do stuff. Holy gently caress we might be one of the best guilds progression-wise on the server. Comedic: If we'd transferred to Shatterbone we could have had Roughraptors in our regular 60 chat. Which is probably why we didn't transfer to Shatterbone (see leaving Zoness behind being listed as a bullet point). Also, I'm not actually sure if I'm in 60 chat on our current server since I've not seen anybody talk in it.

deimos posted:Stop deluding yourselves, Aegis is on our server. Which is kind of amazing since I remember when they transferred to Deepwood to try to recruit. Seriously though, it looks like there are 2 raiding guilds on server, Aegis and Transience. I've not seen any other guilds list themselves as better than 2/4 and Threesprings used to be fairly decent as far as that stuff goes. Wrath and Nixilus at least used to be clear old content before new arrived, and they seem to have gone poof.

KaneTW posted:Mage tank. One positive this will induce is the introduction of a second set of end lessers with int/wis, meaning clerics should likely be given less of the short end of the stick in that manner (when they convert them to the 174 end proc greater). It'll be pretty interesting though to see how and how well the rogue soul heals. Might further kill 61 bard and kill tacbard in one fell swoop. Or it could be almost entirely single target, which would be interesting in its own way.

Ciaphas posted:So Mages are getting a tank soul maybe possibly? Yeah, plan seems to be warrior/rogue healing souls, cleric buffing soul (will likely either fall into the same niche as bm or archon, or will pair up with bm to cover virtually all of the buffs in the same way bard+archon does now) and a mage tanking soul. Also, surprise of surprises, the rogue listed abilities are single target (plus sometimes the rogue as well). It certainly seems interesting, and I know I'd be willing to give it a shot when it eventually drop (because why the gently caress not really). Hybrid specs seem like they might be interesting with tact or bard and a new healing soul as well.

(insert retarded ff13 to ff15 graphic here) DancingShade posted:Well I just got a cleric to 60 after not having played much since before SL was a thing. I still like the class enough to play it, but I'm cognisant that warriors/rogues generally make better tanks/DPS while mages DPS/heal better. Or at least that's how it was back during HK/ID anyway and I can't imagine things have changed that much. The mantra was 1-2 clerics maximum in a 20 man back then, if I recall correctly. Realistically it depends. We've had a few pubbie cleric inquisitor DPS that worked really well and were putting up 14k on the first two fights of EE, which you're realistically not going to complain about. Additionally defiler is a necessity to raids, with a good one putting out decent DPS and HPS and keeping your tank(s) up. Also there are fights where warden just works a lot better than chloro if you're trying to do it with only a defiler as extra heals, like the last fight of TDQ, and puri is a great gently caress you to the rest of the raids HPS against most raid bosses. Kyrosiris posted:I thought that's what Shaman was. Every time I've brought shaman up, I've been bitched at that it's only good in 1 fight on the tier 1 raids. hosed if I know why when rogue and warrior melee is good on every fight in FT and at least the first 2 in EE and TDQ, but then again I wasn't a huge fan of playing clerics when I was raiding HK with it in the alt raids (but it was so easy to level as).

Maybe 4 for Crucia. 1 Warden (2 when learning Crucia), 1 Puri, 1 Defiler works fine for most if not all fights. We usually run 4-5 and one is our main tank and another is usually DPS. The 3 that Kreczor mentioned was including one of our main tanks, our defiler and one of our warriors switching to a barely geared cleric for healing duties.

deimos posted:The second boss is fun as gently caress but has many personal responsibility aspects, mostly involving being personally responsible and moving the gently caress out of rectangular AEs. The fight is so hectic I am pretty sure the first time we kill him we won't be able to tell until it's done because personally I have never been able to watch the boss' HP during it. I was able to start catching at glimpse at my KBM percentage every once in a while. Once beacons come in that goes out the loving window though. deimos posted:As far as we have seen EVERY fight has a personal responsibility component: This isn't completely true. Egeus can save you from loving up mechanics once. I mean you will die later because you can't get a shield at a time when the healers are moving and there's AoE damage going out or you aren't at full health during the 18k downpour or something, but you'll stay up for a little bit.

zerocrash posted:Tactician I found stopped being useful for leveling after you leave the first Storm Legion zone. Everything just starts to hit too hard and its self healing can't keep up anymore but before then it's pretty good. Harbinger though is really good, especially when paired with chloromancer. I'm not sure how good it is pre-50 but I made the spec during Rift's Storm Legion beta and it's still the spec I use now at level 60 soloing. Yeah, the reason it's suggested for so many rogue builds isn't so much that its self healing is great (it's good, and gets better when you get cores and such, but you do will lose battles of attrition), but rather that the self-healing options in rogue are otherwise poor. Its 4-7 points on a soul that wouldn't be doing all that much in another soul and drastically improves your survivability. The thing it best compares to is leeching poison from assassin, which heals about 25% more, but only goes off 50% of the time you're doing single target attacks, as opposed to up to once per second while you're being hit. Assassin also has enduring brew, which is practically non-scaling for how little stats add to its effects, but in my assassin soloing spec it's a little over a quarter of my health. There's also other healing abilities available to rogue, like meditative trance in BD, which is pretty much equivalent to a warden coming by and putting their weakest hot on you while stealing your combo points. It gives you DD procs, but for how little it heals its probably better to use a real finisher. There's also bard, and if you have full stacks of their crap from using bard finishers, cadence will heal you as much as being hit would in tact, with the potential benefit of being able to split your cadence to tickle 3 enemies to triple your self-healing. Riftstalker also brings a bit of self-healing with boosted recovery healing you for killing things and giving a bit more survivability (and 11 points gives you a charge as well, which pairs up nicely with the 4 tact needs). That having been said, I generally just run my tact aoe dps spec while soloing because the alternatives are largely not worth switching to (should swap my other specs out and bring back the NB one to lie largely unused, but  )

Also as far as I recall you could only position poo poo and change what the frames looked like.  This was MyUI, and it was decent. It incorporated certain functions from the regular unit and raid frames and generally wasn't a terrible resource hog, but it was also ugly and on certain encounters you needed to whitelist only the cleansable debuffs, since that didn't seem to be in the API at the time for whatever reason (by that I mean it took a few months for anyone to do it, and then the few frames that were still being updated all did it simultaneously).
