Melee DPS get priority queues as far as I'm aware. Probably to do with their limit break being more useful overall.

I think it's a bit stupid that ranged DPS has to wait a lot longer.

The fist weapons from the Lightning event are absolutely ridiculous. It's like I'm swinging around giant sheets of metal. At least the Snow outfit looks pretty rad if you dye it a bit.

there are fewer melee dps, so their queue times are shorter.

Of course it doesn't matter now since the last thing I have left to get to 50 is my PLD, which I'll save for my fc buds who'll end up needing a tank to taxi them through stuff anyway.

The way it was explained to me today, Melee and Ranged Queue separately. The game by default tries to pair one melee and one ranged with your tank and healer, but if ranged vastly outnumber melee or vice versa, it'll start pairing up two of one kind up in order to get groups going. With the ninja flood in 2.4, it'll acually probably mean that the ranged dps queue timers go down and melee goes up. I kind of want to roll arcanist, but the level 1-30 slog with poo poo queue timers will probably make me wait until Ninjas to power through to 30.

I'd get in now and get it up to 30 and do SCH because I imagine people who normally tank and heal will also roll ninja so there's gonna be a huge lack of them for a month or two.

I'm levelling Arcanist now, currently level 27 I believe, and it wasn't a pain at all, it went smoothly up to 10-15, then with roulettes I had no issues. Went from 19 to 22 in one dungeon, so if you let a bit of rest XP accumulate or have a friendship hat, you should be okay. The friendship hat also works when level synced below 25 by the way, so it remains useful until 30 at least, then you can just queue as healer forever.

In general the basic rotation isn't too difficult - it's Fast Blade/Savage Blade/Rage of Halone as your 1-2-3 threat combo, Flash spam for trash/AoE pulls, Riot Blade for when you have a good threat lead and need MP to fuel more Flashes. Circle of Scorn and Spirits Within will be added to your arsenal at higher levels as off-GCD things you can do between major abilities, but you won't have to worry about those for a good 11-16 levels yet. Everything else is situational cooldowns, pretty much.

I'm sure we'll get it before 3.0, when it becomes super relevant again (though it would be nice right now). I'd settle for all of your cooldowns resetting when you wipe in a trial/raid.

The icon in the tooltip has a digit counter. It counts minutes, then seconds, and then hundredths of a second under 1.

Oh, speaking of, is it ever appropriate for a DRG to wait for Life Surge before Full Thrust? It's so annoying for it to have, say, 0.5 seconds left when your Full Thrust is ready to go. Does waiting that 0.5 seconds hurt your DPS more than adding ~5-10 seconds of Life Surge not being on cooldown?

I think that Vanilla/TBC WoW needed an addon for that, but I'm not certain and I'm too lazy to fire up vanilla to check.

Every actionbar addon had it built in but OmniCC could do it to the default bars + have special effects like flash on cooldown completion etc I just want it because the tooltips already have it.

Does waiting that 0.5 seconds hurt your DPS more than adding ~5-10 seconds of Life Surge not being on cooldown? Pretty sure its not that big of a deal. If its that close, you can totally wait for it. Use a jump or some other OCD ability while you wait.

Not to beat that decomposing corpse, but addon support would be pretty great for things like that. Or my most wanted thing - some sort of audio cue for procs (or in a perfect world, a visual element in the center of the screen similar to what modern WoW has for important procs.) I know they've talked about it in the past, and it's moderately disappointing we haven't seen anything yet.

Does waiting that 0.5 seconds hurt your DPS more than adding ~5-10 seconds of Life Surge not being on cooldown? Even on FT, the LS is only contributing like 500 damage every 60 seconds. If there's literally less than 1/5th of a GCD left before you can use it, I'd wait. But if it's > 1/2 GCD you would be better served using it on whatever attack you're about to do next. Using LS on cooldown is "important" to the tune of 5-8 DPS. It's not the end of the world to burn it on any of your other moves because a cooldown is a cooldown and saving it for later isn't going to help you at all and waiting for it to come up is only delaying one of your other skills that will definitely do more than 500 damage with a LS tacked on. That said, I'm not a super serious T9 DRG or anything, so feel free to listen to anyone who posts a pie chart about fracture or something after me.

I don't have alc 50, but can someone test this crafting 'rotation' for me? If my numbers are correct it is an infinite CP generator Trick of Trade first priority Keep CZ up 100% IQ -> Rumination -> IQ -> Rumination -> IQ -> Rumination -> IQ -> Rumination... Rumination should give back 5 CP, so you are spending 13 CP to idle for two turns. If good rates are ~20% you should be getting positive CP.

For max use of life surge, you want to use it when B4B is up. The timers work out pretty well most of the time. If my B4B is going to expire right after the next full thrust, I'll pause a second or two. If I'm going to get another full thrust off during the current B4B buff, then I won't wait. So long as the two are used like that, they'll pretty much always be ready to go at the right time.

My rotation is (Power Surge)> True Thrust> (B4B)> Vorpal Thrust> (Life Surge + Internal Release)> Full Thrust> Jump This leaves enough B4B + Internal Release for a second combo, and offsets Power Surge by enough to be able to use it for the next Jump or Spineshatter.

I do it that way because Jump is already an off-GCD so I can't use it in between FT / Jump (but still want an increase crit Jump), and I only need enough Internal Release to potentially crit the second FT.

Though now that they're just toggled things and not a 60 second buff it's not as important. I'd love to have it in FF14 though because when you're burning down something (rafflesia)and see tiny slivers on mercy strike/steel peak you really want to be able to see a number at a glance so you know just how soon they can be fired.

Honestly you should always be leading out with at least a vorpal thrust and disembowel even if the mob won't be alive long enough to use chaos thrust. My lead in to basically every fight is HT, VT, Dis at a minimum. Depending on whether I'm using a pot this cycle I'll B4B either right before or after the vorpal thrust and then inner release on either side of disembowel. This way you get a chaos thrust, a phlebotomize, and a full thrust all inside the b4b and IR buffs.
