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
« on: November 27, 2023, 10:47:05 PM »
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.

Raid Performance / + % damage mod question for Bard/War/Paladin
« on: March 05, 2011, 04:00:05 PM »
Do you guys have a way to boost you damage during burns?
I usually don't cast my Group Bestial Alignment during burns because most melee have a way to boost there damage higher that GBA provides.
Here is GBA detail
2: Cast: Group Bestial Alignment Form
4: Increase Chance to Resist Spell by 20%
5: Increase Hit Damage by 30%
I can cast it during burns if it helps you guys out.

Raid Performance / Buff effect stacking rules
« on: March 08, 2011, 03:26:11 AM »
I vetted this over on EQ forums, so I think it is correct.
This should tell you what effects stack and what don't
My buff effect stacking rules
Damage Bonus (similar to the damage bonus you see on weaps and Faycite shards):
inc to damage bonuses stack, but they are not affected by inc % to melee damage
damage bonus does not affect crits.
crits are based on base damage of spells and melee, with bonus applied afterwards
Increase to non-Crit damage:
inc % to melee damage does NOT stack
inc % to DD spell damage does NOT stack
inc % to DoT spell damage does NOT stack
Increase to Crit chance:
inc melee crit chance does NOT stack
inc DD spell crit chance stacks
inc DoT spell crit chance stacks
Increase to Crit damage:
inc % to melee crit damage stacks
inc % to DD spell crit damage does NOT stack
inc % to DoT spell crit damage stacks
Incease chance to hit:
inc chance to hit does NOT stack
Incease to accuracy:
inc accuracy do stack
Increase to haste:
Item haste do NOT stack
Spell haste (V1) do NOT stack
Spell haste songs (V2) do NOT stack
Overhaste (V3) do NOT stack
Item + V1 + V2 capped at 100%
Item + V1 + V2 + V3 capped at 125%
Weapon delay reduction:
100 hands (weapon delay reduction) does not stack
Separate damage shields:
Some DS stack, but DS is really its own category
Damage shield increases:
DS increases do stack
Other effects:
HP increases are cumalative
Atk increases are cumalitive
AC increases are cumalative
Resist increases are cumalative

Raid Performance / change to Glyph of Cataclysm
« on: March 05, 2011, 03:34:13 PM »
From Elidroth in Intenstity of Resolute thread over on eq forums. on 2/28/2011
The bonus damage on the glyph has been changed from 75% to 60%. The reuse time remains unchanged.
Edit: He is also looking to Tune 7th, since the benefits are so different from 1 class to the next
