Made a few updates to the guide for the new spells in TBL.

Thank you for doing this!

as someone getting a bst ready to rummble for this is a great thing.

 but a few questions.

1st.  for dps are 2 1 handers or a 2hander better for dps?
2nd on that spell lineup what spells/aa/disc should i have set to a spam key for maxing out dps.

[Paruaa]

With changes in The Burning Lands a 2 hand blunt (2HB) weapon in most situations have become better DPS than dual wielding 1 hand weapons. You do lose the damage from your Gelid Rending AA, although you can still get a few procs from your skill attacks. with the change to the Burst of Power AA for Beastlords that adds an extra attack with 2HB weapons when Double Attack goes off we have now switched over to the 2HB club!

- Beastlord - Burst of Power ranks 4+ now add a chance to hit one additional time when double attacking with a 2-handed weapon.

Also the Vindication line's does more melee damage with 2HB weapons than 1 hand weapons since it goes off of primary weapon.

10: 30% Chance to Repeat Primary Weapon Round at 44-46% Damage (Depending on Rank)

Then you add in the fact that we have a Hundred Hand effects (which is the lowering of weapon delay) that is up every ~36sec and two discs with it Dichotomic Fury / Dissident Fury, Ruaabri's Fury, and Frenzy of Spirit. So if you weren't hitting Dicho/Diss Fury whenever it is up already you will now.

If you want to "Maximize DPS" you can Bandolier two 1 handed weapons to switch to when you don't have a Hundred Hands Effect running but i found that you have to switch so often that at some point you forget to requip the 2HB and end up hurting your DPS.

Updated the Guide with a few things people have been asking me about. Spell Spam cast order, Raid Melee Spam changes, Weapon choice ect.

Just in case no one noticed it in the Update Notes or doesn't pay attention to their AAs. In the last update on the 16th of October they made changes to the Fade abilities for ALL classes and finally gave Beastlords a Fade ability it is called Falsified Death.

*** AA ***

- All - Made the following changes to fade abilities for retuning and to provide a more consistent experience:
-- All AA escape abilities now have a 100% chance to succeed on opponents up to 5 levels above the caster.
-- Escape abilities trigger their secondary invisibility or sanctuary buffs regardless of proximity to attackers.
-- Escape abilities will reduce the amount of hatred any NPC the caster fails to escape from by 1 million points.
-- Escape abilities now have higher reuse times and resource costs for most classes, as this better reflects our vision for these abilities.
- - Pet Users - Summon Companion - Rank 2 now provides a 100% chance for your pet to escape combat from all NPCs. Removed ranks 3 and 4 of this ability and made rank 2 available in Underfoot. Ranks 1 and 2 now consume 1% of your maximum mana to activate.
- - Beastlord - Falsified Death - This ability is now available at level 80 in Underfoot. This ability consumes 2% of your maximum mana to feign death, allows you to escape combat from NPCs up to 5 levels higher than you, allows your warder to escape combat from all NPCs, triggers Evader's Invisibility, and has a 2.5-minute reuse time.

Now please don't judge my UI too harshly... I will admit it is a bit messy.

I have my two spam keys as 3 (orange) and 4 (blue) as you can see and I also show what is in the hotkeys I have labeled Melee Spam/DD Spam.

ok so with the last patch group pact of the wolf from shamans was turned into an aura, 75% haste, see invis, ultra vision, 10,000 hp, mana, end..
however it blocks the bst pact of the wurine.. 35% accuracy, 56% move speed, 7,500 hp, mana, 110 mana regen.

group pact of the wolf only has 2,500 more hp, mana, enr more but we lose 35% accuracy and 110 mana regen, i blocked group pact of the wolf asap on dulcy the accuracy lose and 110 mana regen lose is not worth the 2,500 hp/mana... the haste is also moot as chanter haste will snag you at 225% anyways.

edit, tested out some bst skills to check with stacking, bestial savagery overwrites the accuracy from PotW but stacks with it. so we would still lose the 110 mana regen, 2,500 hp,mana, 10,000 end
but a lose of 110 mana regen does not seem worth it (bst dont use jack for endr so that 10,000 might as well not even be counted)

Thanks for the update, Krinni.

question on gear. 

when it comes to belts.  the focus effects.  overdrive punch or the one that adds a flat 5k to all spells after crits.  which one is going be more overall dps or are they close enough to not really matter
