Not sure this is a bug, but i can equivocally say this is NOT the look I was going for.

I've been been playing around with a WAR persona on my BST.  System seems to be working fine, but sometimes you run into a funny bug

Freelance Ramblings / BST heal proc test
« on: January 03, 2024, 07:43:23 PM »
So, I've been fiddling around with heal sticks this expansion.  By heal sticks, I mean LS T2/T3 weaps with heal procs and Reactive healing augs.  Anecdotally, i find these weapons generate Actual healing approximately equal to 1/2 the Actual healing of a maxed out Cleric Merc.  Overall, the Cleric merc puts out a lot more Total healing, but much of it is wasted due to heals going over max HP.  Heal procs from weapons are for smaller amounts and spread more evenly over time, so is not unusual to see 90% healing efficiency or better from heal procs.  A merc might run closer to 50% efficiency.

To get a better feel for just how much healing is generated, i ran some parses in the arena over on Test.  These parses are only 15 minutes each and both were done on my BST.  I'll have to run these again on my Bard or Rog once they complete Achievements in NoS and LS to make the reactive Augs.

One thing that stood out is how much more healing i got when running BST Bloodlust AA.  I have typically viewed Bloodlust as an Offensive AA exclusively.  This opens up defensive possibilities, at least for 42 seconds, which is how long Bloodlust lasts.

Freelance Ramblings / Grakaw is my Bi-och

Grakaw bows before me.

BST - BARD - ROG + Tank Merc and 2 Healer Mercs. 

After extensive research, i can confirm this is not the most optimal group for this mission.

Updated Burn keys:
Burn 1:
/alt act 241 (bloodlust)
/disc Ruaabri's Fury Rk. II
/alt act 245 (Bestial Alignment)
/disc Savage Rancor Rk. III
/useitem Velazul's Dragonbrood Tunic (or whatever your best Chest click happens to be.  i put this at end because there is a short cast timer)

Burn 2:
/alt act 1240 (frenzied swipes)
/alt act 981 (attack of the warder swarm pet)
/alt act 1432
/disc Al`eles vindication Rk. III
/useitem Savagesoul Jerkin of the Wilds (Anguish chest.  again at end, since there is a short cast timer.

Separate clicks
- Bestial Bloodrage.  this reduces aggro from pet, so be careful using this when you need pet to hold mob down
- Reflexive sundering.  you can use this for an extre 4 attack every ten minutes, but other benefit is restoring endurance to your group, so use selectively
- Glyph of destruction II (does not stack with shaman epic anymore):
/timer 6000
/pause 3, /alt act 7019
/alt buy 7019
- Group Bestial/Ferociousness.  (i usually use these together for a miniburn.

Beastlord / Re: Beastlord guides

Here is my UI.  i don't recommend setting yours up the same way, because I feel it is a little cluttered and i need to clean it up.  Hopefully there are some elements that other beastlords find useful.  I welcome any comments, as I believe there have been changes to how burn buffs stack and I might need to make some tweaks.  (Like crit damage % no longer stacks?)

Here are my basic driving instructions when using this set up

1.  Click 6 to /assist the MA in raids or in groups
2.  Click 4 to send in pet, and to make sure you merc is not happily sitting in Passive mode for whatever reason
3.  Click 3 to do various combat strikes
4.  Click 5 to cast spell.  You can either multibind 5 key to your spell bar, or multibind 5 or 6 slots of your hotkey bar, if you like the flexibility of changing spell cast sequence on the fly

From here continue mashing 3/5, 3/5, 3/5 and you will fire off spells and combat abilities like a roman candle

You'll note that I don't call out Feral Swipe, kick, Bite of the asp, or other combat abilities that used to suck up lines in macro windows.  Many of these abilities are merged with other combat abilities that can be Autoactived.  For example:
1.  Round Kick triggers Feral Swipe
2.  Eagle Strike triggers Bite of the Asp
3.  Tiger Claw triggers Raven's Claw
 
For burn, I use 2 hotkeys.  You can see that i like to include buttons for each ability called out in the burn key, just to confirm my burn fires properly.  Sometimes things don't fire and i have to go back and click the burn key again.
The first burn key is general personal buffage, so you can click when mob is inc, if you think it will be a short fight.
The second burn key needs to have a mob targeted.

After initial burn runs its course, i click Group Bestial, Ferociousness and Frenzy of Spirit.  I realize Frenzy of Spirit is personally better than Dicho or Ruabri's, but in a group it's better to sacrifice a little to get those on the group instead
