Necromancer / Equipping your Pet

« on: March 11, 2016, 05:58:02 PM »

Just spent like 5 hours doing stupid, stupid Pet Parses, enjoy

Part 2: Paring is Caring

I'll begin this exercise by Fully Ranger/Chanty/Shaman/Bard Buffing/Burning my pet, aswell as Fully Buffing/Burning him Myself (Including Glyph of Frantic Infusion stage 3). The only thing really missing is my Lingering Nightmares buff and my Chanty's Night's Endless Terror Buff. There's almost 0 chance of you ever being in such a backwardsass group, but I wanted a high baseline to accurately view the impact each item has

I start with Savard2.0 Fully Buffed but with no gear to speak of, adding one slot (which I'll denote in the headers) each subsequent parse. Let's Begin!

Conclusions:
Seems like the main contributors are Haste/Foci and raw ATK, Cleave would likely have had a more notable effect if my Pet wasn't already critting at such a high rate. All in all, if you're doing this on raids, you're probably best off just going full bore to help your pets survivability aswell as it's damage output.

Raider Essentials / Illusion Benefits

« on: November 29, 2015, 05:58:51 PM »

You've got extra buff slots now that most clicky buffs are innate, so you mayaswell make some use of them!


I don't want to list every single illusion and which buff it carries, since allah will likely have that attached to the spell's info page in due time, but I did a fair bit of testing and can give everyone a good idea of which buff benefits stack and which don't~


Conflicts with Gunthak/Mount blessing buffs:

Azia (AC buff)
Caza (AC Buff)
Ena (HP/AC Buff)
Ozah (HP Regen/AC Buff)
Paza (Random crap and AGI/AC Buff)
Vena (Endurance/AC Buff)


Conflict with Eachother:

Beza (Damage Shield)
Geza (Damage Shield/Fire Resist)
Essence of Bertoxxulous (Mana Regen/Damage Shield)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Neza (Increased Dodge Rate/Movement speed)
Sana (Movement Speed/Disease Resist)
Taza (Movement Speed/Magic Resist) - This one's Weird, it seems to stack only if you put it as the designated stat illusion
Uzah (Movement Speed/Faction mod with Claws of Veeshan)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Izah (STR Buff)
Earth Elemental's Form (STR Buff/5% Melee Mitigation Rune to 85k Dmg/Snare Proc)



Separate Buff Slots:

Dena (Movement Speed/Attack Buff)
Dragorn War Mask (+10 Dmg to all weapon damage, after calculations)
Fana (40% Haste/STR Buff)
Heda (HP Regen) - Note, I'm just assuming for this one, don't have an illusion with this benefit to test
Jaka (AGI Buff)
Kala (Fearune type crap and Cold Resist)
Lena (Fire Resist)
Levitation (Grants you a defensive DT proc that'll go off any time a Druid gets within 50' of you)
Meda (500 Hp Buff, was surprised this stacked with mount) -Does not stack with Invigoration of the Ry`Gorr and presumably Brells/Ranger HP buffs
Miniature Eyepatch (+10 Dmg to Slashing and Peircing weapon damage, after calculations)
Qela (Disease Resist)
Recluse Spider (Grants a 226 Dmg melee proc)
Rena (Horribad Spell Rune that dissipates after absorbing 100 dmg)


Edit: You can totally left click the icon in the stat illusion window to remove the Illusion and wipe the designated stat, but the effect seems to still linger (even with nothing visibly in the stat illusion box anything cast off the keyring will have the benefit of whatever was in it last). You can however remove the illusions from the keyring and cast them from inventory once the designated stat buff is wiped (You'll simply have to remove the illusion to cast the next one and get it's buff)

Anyway, hopes this helps a few of you so you don't wind up buying something that doesn't stack with other clickies (Not sure on how these stack with full raid buffs on either yet). If you have any questions regarding which illusions give which benefit I can give you examples, if Allah takes forever updating the "Items with this effect" portions I might just make a list myself

Necromancer / Necro Triggers

« on: November 17, 2015, 12:53:56 AM »

Some basic Triggers to assist on raids;


-The Utility Triggers are pretty much the main ones I had before, added a few extra ones in there

-Twincast Timers were updated by Hatit, more efficient now!

-The DoT fade triggers are kind of annoying to me personally, but it is a surefire way to know when Paroxysm fades if nothing else (Causes some clutter though) - Also Courtesy Hatit

-The Burn Order triggers are pretty basic right now but should still be of some use. I can't find a workaround for chaotic power and death's grip having the same cast message, but will keep trying to figure something out





Any ideas for new triggers are always welcome
