Thanks Nub and Bor.  I already add the phrases to my trigger file.  I suggest others do the same.  It can only help to know when someone casts something good on you.

Let's see some more people post.  I'm a little fuzzy on exactly which Ber abilities people use most.  And it would be good to have a list of the Shm attributable effects.

Don't assume that other classes know what you cast.  As Nub noted above, some abilities are on shared timers or some may be flat out obsolete.  Just list the abilities you expect to use most often.

For all these, you should click in the following order to prepare for the burn.
1.  Improved Twincast AA first.  It only has 10 counters, but lasts 2 minute, so you can set up before firing your burn key
2.  Silent Casting.  It last 1 minute 40 seconds, but it has a cast timer, so you want to click it on inc.
3.  Twincast Spell when Twincast AA fades.  This will extend your burn another 18 seconds.  It is insta-cast, but you lose a

couple sec while spell gems refresh

Added notes below

Notes:
/blockspell add me 23670 (This blocks Necro Reluctant Benevolence, which blocks Pyromancy.  This assumes you are not meleeing

and don't need the proc heals.)
Spell chance to crit stacks.  Crit damage notifier does NOT stack.  (This is opposite how melee crits are handled.)
These keys are for a fire-spec'd wizard
Shaman epic doesn't do anything for us.  it is a melee modifier.

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 / Re: change to Glyph of Cataclysm

« on: March 06, 2011, 06:06:07 PM »

To balance Glyphs properly, they would need to make them Class specific, but I don't see that happening.

It is a bummer that they reduce Glyphs now that I got most of my AAs done.  I was just fixing to start popping Glyphs again.

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

Raid Performance / Re: DPS - Streamlined and Maximized

« on: January 23, 2011, 04:06:41 AM »

thats a great post Vanlor.  I need to print it out to read it offline.  lots to take in.

For Beastlord, here are some hotkey setups I use.  I posted them over on beastlord.org and no one jumped my keister, so they can't be too bad.

Spell hotkey (my number key 3)
Bind bottom 4 spells to number key 3
Leave Shout at the Moon as manual cast

Combat hotkey (My number key 5)
/discipline rush rk. II
/doability 3         kick
/alt activate 247    Feral Swipe
/alt activate 986    Bite of the Asp
/alt activate 11080  Chameleon Strike

BA!  (my main disc)
/alt activate 443    Bestial Bloodrage
/discipline Bestial Vivisection rk. II
/discipline Nature's Fury rk. II
/alt activate 245    Bestial Alignment
/g <<< BURN DISC >>> Nature's Fury! 100 hands for 48 sec

EF! (My other main disc)
/alt activate 443
/blockspell add me 27099      27099 is short buff of BV
/blockspell remove me 27099
/alt activate 124    Frenzy of Spirit
/discipline Empathic Fury

you really want to fire off all your spells and short refresh combat attacks from just a couple keys on your keyboard.  if you are clicking buttons and spell gems with your mouse, then lag on raids is going to kill your dps

Edit:
Oh yea, i know these keys are different than the ones I showed earlier.  dps is a work in progress.

I know this is more general purpose dps thread, but here is a composite snapshot of dps hotkeys for bst.  I'm open to suggestions to improve these.

The idea is to tie all my spam spells to 1 key and all my special combat attacks to another, so I can just toggle between 2 keyboard keys to fire stuff off like a roman candle.  (Tie these to keyboard.  Lag affect key presses less than mouse clicking, imo.)

I have a separate defensive key, which launches a combination of things.  (If you ever see me tank for 12 seconds or so, it's because I hit this key.)

I have 2 separate burn keys.  1 is most suited to group burn, when coordinting with rangers, shm, etc.  The other is more personal burn, but it helps to stack a few things together into one button.

Any bst out feel free to offer suggestion to improve this, or let me know if something is confusing.

Here is my list of emotes for various attibutable DPS abilities.  I included cast and fade messages.  I suggest loading these into your GTT.  Not everyone announces when they hit you with something juicy

Also, I would include instructions to yourself in the Trigger text.  This will differ from class to class.

For example, when I see Shm Epic I trigger text DISC - SHM epic (1 min) - Click BA/DA/BGA and Glyph  You trigger text will be different.

Auspice:
Your instincts are sharpened by the auspice of the hunter
Your mind dulls

Ber Warcry
Berserker energy wells up inside you
The berserker energy fades

Ber Cry of Chaos
The cry of chaos fills you with berserker energy

Ber Cry Chaos
The battle cry fills you with rage
The rage dies down

Shaman Epic
You are blessed with the gift of the Ruchu
The gift of the Ruchu fades

Brd Quicktime
You speed up to match the beat of the music
You slow down

Brd Epic
You are filled with the spirit of Vesagran

It is insta click, insta refresh, so you can spam click it till it sticks.

Here is my poor man's method of multibind.  I like the flexibility it gives me to change cast order on the fly, since I swap different spell sets in an out depending on the occasion.

It does generate a bit of spam, but I can generally ignore that by shoving the spam into non-critical windows.

True multibind is definately cleaner, but this is a good option for those not ready to dig into key bindings.

This method of binding can get me up close to 1 click per 4 seconds.  My goal is 1 click every 3 seconds, but I have a few tweaks before I can hit that number.
