Upcoming Events & Strategy / Re: TBM - Plane of Health - T2 - Stem the Tide
« on: June 17, 2016, 11:19:33 PM »
Just some thoughts..we are trying to gain /ach for kill in under 15 min. Suppose we burn boss from get go with burns that don't affect the AE burns needed later in hopes to get boss down to the 5 add-64% or 5add-52 % stage quickly. Objective here is to shave off some time of the overall raid. Adds would still be AE'd as normal.
Of course we are trying to do this (get boss down fast), but maybe have some emphasis on this in the strat. Thanks Nin.

Thanks for the tips on lagg Bren. I will experiment with some of these options you have given, and look into some others. Scornfire has helped a lot with some ideas to help my dps as well. Thanks guys.

In response to these last two msg. I will mention i have not been playing much these last few months, so I am a little rusty. I think my biggest problem i have is lagg. I live in rural Hawaii where i can only get DSL through my phone line. I occasionally freeze up during raid where i can not cast anything, I have been trying to do what i can to alleviate this, erasing logs and internet cookies etc. I will be trying to set up comp at a friends house that has cable just to see if that makes a big difference. Sometimes I feel like i should not raid due to inability to help, but i want to join, it is hard for me to know till i get deep into a raid if i will have lag or not.
Aside form the lag issues, after studying scornfires casts. I think i need to implement swarm pets into my lineup. I was trying to understand where his largest dmg is from, under Direct Damage: miscellaneous: He does 8mill+ dmg on this fight and 15+ mill on Maestro. I do not know where this dmg comes from, my guess is swarm pets + dd aug procs. I will need to ask if anyone knows...? I also see some clickys i need to ask about, maybe a poison potion, wabbit etc.
Striving to improve, Nintap
PS. thanks for the breakdowns it really helps to study up,

Hey Raccoo, I did end up getting it from Mayong after Tris didn't drop for me either. Had to "force it" by collecting and turning in zone debuff pages. Kaloha helped, i was not present the whole time.

Hey Raccoo, I need to check out that cascade of decay and flesh to poison stacking, I do kinda remember seeing that last time i was on, been super busy lately. I DID notice that FtP and Hedgewiz brew were stacking too. I'm not sure which procs more often but i notice the Brew procs for more. I also was testing and noticed that the proc off the brew will not trigger GoDR (twincast); but FtP will.
I have gotten my epic 2.5 since my first post. I would love to help but i don't think my schedule will allow

Hey gang, I can see how my spell sets can look confusing. The main reason i keep certain spells in lineup that are not Dot's is because they either assist me with heals or have a very slow refresh time eg. shield of consequence and mind extraction ( if i/group need mana or i need my shield recast i don't want to wait for it to load, and then what other spells do i mix in that spell set). One could argue that all this spell swapping is unnecessary and a waste of time. The problem i face is i want to cast as many dot's as possible, so i have to swap in more spells. I'm always trying to iron out kinks, but i feel more comfortable the way i have it and have been doing well in DPS.
On adds i have been swaping out slots 8-11 of my previously posted lineups to include
8. Combust bones ( dd nuke / turn undead / stun (weaker mobs) )
9. Liquifying vein ( dd poison nuke )
10. Ilsaria's swift sickness ( 12 sec Dot )
11. Mazub's flashblaze ( 12 sec Dot
I mainly use these on adds when bosses are NOT in play yet. I am still unsure if my swift dots are working better than 30 sec dots on these adds. but im sure the nukes help. Then again, all adds are different. Still working out this line up.
With my spell sets grouped based on duration that they last, i can cast all 4 then swap for the next 4 and so on. I can cast any of my other spells, AA's or clickey's between swaps. Ideally I will cast my "long dots" then "short" then "medium". The short dots will come due for recast first in this situation, so i will load those and be ready to cast as they fade. Medium and long will kind of start fading at same time depending on how fast you you have gotten through your lineups. I have decided to go meduim next, which makes sure violent proliferation, gets to proc off of mortiferious wounds, and it keeps a good rotation going ( long-short-medium-short-medium, and repeat). Thats my spell casting/spell sets summed up.
Aside from previously posted damage increasing aa's, clickys etc. I have learned 2 new ways to boost dps. Ancient Hedgewizards Brew ( gives me 33k or 37k dd random proc when casting damaging spells and lasts 50 min). Glyph of the Cataclysm (this is an AA in special tab of aa window and cost 5 aa and is expendable. This provides a 60% increase to base dmg. Lasts 2min i think and does have a refresh time).
Thanks Quickburn for the good info on these, and Thanks Furro for putting together complete lists of what spells, aa's, potions etc. were used by which necro during an event so i could compare and ask questions!!
That's it for now, NIN

I would also like to get a few more of my lvl 100 Rnk3 spells. I understand they drop in RoF. I don't think i have any of them yet. My 2 cents thanks FL

Yes Over ez, I will swap 4 spells at a time. I also have a spell set that I've been playing with that swaps in my 12 sec dots and nukes. It seems to work w/ adds that die very fast, the quick dots and nukes have a little refresh time though.
Basically, on bosses, I try to keep all dots running as they fade, and cast procs and aa etc in between to up my crit chances and anything that will up my base dmg.

I have read some of this before, what looks like something i need to try is the use of flesh to poison dd proc to initiate the GoDR proc (twincast dot after a dd is cast). Flesh to poison does not proc every time so i may need keep a close eye. I have tried to make a burn line up, but takes long to load, so have stuck with hot keys to swap out 4 at a time. I need to try set up a burn set again.
MY line up is as follows:
1. Soulrend - (life tap)
2. Impose for blood - (DD, chance to proc 30-130% dot dmg increase)
3. Shield of consequence - (% spell and melee mitigation)
4. Call Skeleton Mob - (swarm pets)
5. Chaotic liquifaction - (scent of the nightfall db + chance for liquifaction or pyre of lost or both to land 54sec dots)
6. Mind extraction - (grp mana tap dot)
7. Dark leech - (grp life tap dot)
8. Pyre of jorobb - (30sec dot)
9. Pyre of marnek - (30sec dot)
10. Ignight synapse - (30sec dot)
11. Annihilation - (30sec dot)
12. Swift life draw - (12sec self lifetap dot)
Slots 8-11 get swaped for 42 sec dots
8. Glistenwing venom
9. Plexipharia's pallid haze
10. Binasia venom
11. Plexipharia's grasp (also self life tap)
Swap for 1min 24sec dots
8. Smoldering shadow
9. Coruscating shadow
10. grip of jabaum or livinaus decay
11. Mortiferious wounds
So I keep them organized in sets; short, medium and long. 12 dots there + 2-3 more that are always available.
Shield of consequence is a new addition to the permanent part of my line up to deal with lich adds with Calix and helps SO much! I make sure i always have it in my buff window, need to learn to make a trigger to alert me when it wears off. Main reason for some of my permanent part of lineup is they are slow to load or are life tap and can assist with proc of RB aa.
I do have a nuke/swift spellset as well for weaker adds.
For crit% I do have a Blightbringer tunic clicky, third spire, hand of death proc. Still need to get my 2.5 epic 10% as opposed to 8% now.
Thanks.
