Freelance Ramblings / Re: Where is the honestly anymore

To draw a long bow, if you don't like their loot system, don't go?

You seem to be severely concerned about loot.  Raiding isn't mostly about loot, it's about people banding together to do something difficult or things that cannot normally do on their own.  People cherish the experience more then they do so the loot.  If raiding just primary about looting items then each event would drop a lot more items then they normally do.

Freelance's loot distribution system is very fair.  It weights it to people who attend their raids more frequently, but it also throws a bone to those who are new.  You wouldn't get that sort of distribution anywhere else.  I've seen first time raiders pick up items on their first night many a time.

And before you call me a regular raider, I perhaps raid with Freelance once a week / fortnight.

Raid Performance / Re: DPS - Streamlined and Maximized

Something for people to do is invest in obtaining a Circle of Power clicky.  The use of Circle of Power can improve DPS by a significant amount especially if used it in rotation.


Circle of Power I Effect
  • Increase Chance to Critical Cast by 1%
  • Increase Chance to Critical Hit by 40% with All Skills

Here are a couple of locations you can obtain one -

Crystalline Spear (WAR RNG BRD ROG BST) - Old Man McKenzie in PoK for 63 McKenzie's Special Brew (Need to complete Vox Raid.

Dark Spiritbone Belt (WAR PAL RNG SHD MNK BRD ROG BST BER) - Drops in Relic from group quest named but apparently very rare.

Empowered Lantern (WAR PAL RNG SHD MNK BRD ROG BST BER) - Drops from Empowered Reflection in Brell's Temple.  Can also drop as a random zonewide rare from any trash mob in the zone.

Silvery Two Handed Axe (WAR PAL RNG SHD BER) - Old Man McKenzie - 42 McKenzie's Special Brews.

-------------------------

If your really daring you can try for a Circle of Power II clicky -

Circle of Power II Effect
  • Increase Chance to Critical Hit by 80% with All Skills
  • Increase Chance to Critical Cast by 2%

Symbol of Vivace (PAL RNG SHD BRD BST) - Chest from The Toiling of Dissonance Bells Event in Deathknell, Tower of Dissonance.  This is the first event in Deathknell (This Chest can also drop Ghostrider's Bridle).

When I completed it the other day it took about one a half groups to complete.

-------------------------

There is a Circle of Power III clicky, but it is not readily obtainable.
