Rift: Planes of Telara

[Korialstraz]

Som cleric må du se deg nødt til å heale om du vil ha gruppe. Bare skaff deg en Sentinel Specc. Denne funker. Så bare spamme Healing Invocation på maintank.

 

Kanskje i lavere lvl og de tidligste dungeons så fungerer det, men tro meg det er bedre å bli vandt til en god rotation som ikke går på å spamme en skill.

 

Som main tank i guilden så ville jeg blitt veldig irritert om en healer kun brukte en skill, når det finnes så mye bra å velge mellom. Har du tenkte å progressere noe særlig lenger enn normal dungeons, eller bli med i høyre lvl dungeons (LH, AP og CC) så trenger du mer enn 1 skill.

 

Det funker sikkert for lvling, men skal du inn i dungeons så er det på tide å ta i bruk alt du har til rådighet.

 

 

 

Ellers så blei det en grei helg. Kom meg endelig til 50, kjøpte en lvl 50 mount, drepte alle bossene untagen siste i FC, kom oss til tredje bossen i RoTF og kjørte igjennom hele IT på expert. Men fikk en trist nyhet om at en guildmedlem ikke kunne spille lenger. Han var også en runecrafter hos oss, så nå lurer jeg på om ikke jeg dropper armorsmithing og plukker opp runecrafting.

[Neppe]

En maintank bruker nesten bare en skill. Og det er healing invocation + cooldowns. Iallefall en Sentinel. Både i Dungeons og Raids. Så tro meg, det er ikke mye rotation for en sentinel, annet enn å passe på cooldowns

[Korialstraz]

Nå faller jeg litt av her.

 

"En maintank bruker nesten bare en skill."

 

Ehm... mener du en main tank eller en main tank healer?

 

Uansett så bruker de mer enn bare en skill. Main healer for oss stacker HoT's før tøffe kamper, bruker kombinasjon av instant og channeling spells, hjelper til med å heale andre når han har mulighet, og har eventuelt dispell klar skulle det være nødvendig.

 

Nei en main healer bruker ikke kun 1 skill. Ingen klasse burde basere hele builden på 1 skill. Greit nok at du har et hoved tema, men å ikke brukke alle skillsene som er tilgjengelig gjør deg mindre effektiv.

 

 

 

For eksempel som main tank, så har jeg rundt 18 skills på hotkeys, buffs som ikker er på hotkeys i tilegg til potions og et par andre fluff ting som ikke er viktig.

 

Spiller Reaver/Paladin, så blandt DoT's som øker threat, redusert armor på moben jeg treffer, redusert inkommende skade på de jeg treffer, reactive shield skills, absorb shield, 3 aoe taunts, 2 single target taunts med mer så har jeg hendende fulle med skills jeg kan bruke. Noen skills blir brukt i litt mer spesifikk sitasjoner, men har lett 12+ skills som brukes med gjevne mellomrom i en hver dungeon.

 

 

 

Når det er sagt, er det andre som gleder seg til patch 1.1? Kan nesten ikke vendte på forandringen til Power From The Masses forandringe. Det at denså vidt jeg forstår fungerer som en passi buff basert på antall medlemmer i gruppen (opp til 5) blir en stor forandring for meg. Da jeg kan plassere mindre points i Reaver, plukke opp Ravenous Strenght og Ravenous Defence fra Void Knight (kan ikke huske om de blir forandret i 1.1, men hvis ikke er det 50% str og armor bonus), og jeg slipper å holde 2 buffs gående samtidig.

 

32/16/18 Paladin/Reaver/Void Knight ser ut til å bli en veldig interesant build. ^_^

[Neppe]

Mente main healer ja. En Sentinel bruker omtrent bare en skill. Eneste hot de har er vel Healing Spray, og den bruker man kun for å få Serendipity.

 

Det er ingen grunn til å bruke annen healingspell enn Healing Invocation som sentinel, annet enn instant cast spellen din selvfølgelig. Rene Sentinels har ikke så utrolig mange cooldowns. De har Pain Suppression og AoE channel. Ellers er det ren Healing Invocation spam for Sentinels (Som ofte er maintank healere). Wardens og Purifiers er raid healere, i all hovedsak. Selvfølgelig vil en Warden kaste Ripple og spamme hots på maintank, med i hovedsak for å holde raidet i helehet i livet.

 

Det er iallefall taktikken vi har kjørt, og det funka fint på Greenscale.

[Konamixx]

18 hotkeys som tank? Hva i alle.. Du gir deg selv mye mer arbeid en strengt tatt nødvendig.

T2 dungeons krever ikke mer enn 1 makro for AP building og 1 for finishers. Samt 1 for AoE taunts og 1 for vanlige taunts(2 om Seargents order er en av dem). Om du er reaver kan det også være greit med en for Necrotic wounds, men ikke nødvendig da du kun trenger den til pulls.

Så i grunn er det Healing Invocation, Pain Suppression, AoE channel og instant cast.

 

Er greit å underdrive litt, men når noen sier at du kan spamme Healing Invocation og så er det det, blir det en smule for mye underdrivelse. =P

 

Som sagt spiller jeg ikke healer selv, men vet at det er mer enn 1 healing skill som blir brukt når jeg har en main healer på meg.

Nei det gjør jeg faktisk ikke. En del av de skillsene er veldig situasjons bestemte for det jeg bruker de til, og som nevnt over har jeg vel en 10-12 hotkeys som blir brukt gjevnlig.

 

Og nei jeg bruker ikke macro's. Ser ikke helt morroa i å trykke på 3 taster for å bruke alle skillsene.

 

De jeg bruker mest: Plague Bringer, Necrotic Wounds, Soul Sickness, 2 skills jeg ikke helt husker, 1 er melee DoT som blir spredd med Plague Bringer, en annen melee som reduserer armor. Så er det Aggressive Block, reactive block skills (2 stk, 1 som disabler melee/ranged vaåpen, kommer ikke på den andre i farta). Så er det 3 AoE taunts, 1 fra paladin, 2 fra Reaver om ikke jeg tar feil, Infestation, AoE DoT fra Reaver som øker aggro, cleave angrep, absorb shield, instant 100% heal (paladin), en skill for å komme ut av stuns/roots/etc... hva annet er det jeg glemmer nå? Jo så er det Reaver skill som treffer 5 fiender som gjør ~300 skade og healer meg for antall skade gjort, og an AoE slow som følger meg når jeg løper rundt. For ikke å glemme shield throw (single target taunt) og en charge skill. Nå er det vel sikkert et par av de skillsene jeg ikke bruker så ofte, men så er det nok et par skills her og der jeg ikke har tatt med som er av samme natur. Altså blir brukt sjeldent, men som jeg har med fordi de blir brukt innimellom.

 

 

Vil heller ha 110% kontroll over hvilket skills jeg bruker når enn å ha macro taster, og liker utfordringen med å ha 10+ hotkeys som brukes gjevnlig.

[Neppe]

Bruker du 90% av tiden din til å kaste en spell/skill så vil jeg kalle det å spamme, selv om 10% er andre.

Du ser ikke moroa med å bruke en knapp for 3 skills som gjør akkurat det samme, men å la fingrene løpe rundt som en blekksprut på tastaturet er moro? Jaja, hver sin smak.

Hvorfor skal du ha 3 AoE tautns på tre forskjellige knapper? Alle gjøre samme sak og med en makro slipper du meningsløse keybinds.

 

Er enig i at du burde ha kontroll på når du bruker abilitys, men en haug av abilitys har ingen annen funksjon annet enn å bare få de ut når de er klar, ref Agg block, pala reactives og spammable AP builders. Er helt meningsløst å keybinde disse til flere knapper da det fører til meningsløst fingerbruk og fokus bort fra det som skjer på skjermen.

Det er iallefall min mening

er det noen som vet om en laptop til rundt 10 000 som kjører rift på high med en bra fps.

kan så lite om hva som kreves av skjermkort og prossesorer.

takk for svar

Tja, jeg har en 2 år gammel multicom, men den drar det såvidt på det laveste

 

Men jeg sjekket på multicom, og jeg vil si at denne: http://www.multicom.no/SystemConfigurator.aspx?q=st%3a10600540%3bc%3a100561%3bfl%3a0 kan dra Rift med grei fps, på high. Hvis noen andre kan bekrefte/avkrefte dette hadde det vært konge

[kjekkealex]

har sett litt på multicom sine pcer, og de har mye spennende!

 

Vet bare ikke om den xishan vil klare å kjøre rift på high, eller om jeg må oppgradere til p150 med HD6970M!

 

det vil jo koste litt mer da

[Borbra]

På min stasjonære har jeg 5870, og det drar Rift på high med 40-50 fps

Så jeg vil annta at 6970 vil dra det enda bedre, selv om det er mobile versjon

[kjekkealex]

hva tror du xishan vil gjøre da?

[Korialstraz]

Bruker du 90% av tiden din til å kaste en spell/skill så vil jeg kalle det å spamme, selv om 10% er andre.

 

Mulig det gjelder for den builden du bruker, men syntes det høres veldig merkelig ut. Men med så mange souls så kan det jo godt være mulig.

 

Men da blir det etter min mening enda viktigere med fokus på de skillsene som ikke blir brukt. Vil gå ut ifra at de spares til spesielle situasjoner? Og det er ikke sikkert alle kan se når det er.

 

 

Nei det gjør jeg faktisk ikke. En del av de skillsene er veldig situasjons bestemte for det jeg bruker de til, og som nevnt over har jeg vel en 10-12 hotkeys som blir brukt gjevnlig.

Kan godt se poenget ditt med de tre AoE taunts, som kanskje er de eneste 3 abilities jeg i det hele tatt kunne tenke meg å ha på makro. Men nå har jeg som regel kun bruk for 2, da jeg ikke trenger de ofte nok til at alle 3 er på cooldown. Dermed blir den siste taunten mer en "OH ****" skill enn en som blir brukt jevnlig. Men for det meste andre så vil jeg ha kontrol over det ja. Hvis du har lyst å ta diskusjonen lengre kan jeg godt skrive ned alle skills jeg bruker, og begrunne med hvorfor.

 

Ellers så foretrekker jeg å vite at etter en dungeon, så har jeg faktisk "jobbet" litt for å kome igjennom. Ikke jobb som i "uff dette spillet blir mer og mer som jobb" men føler jeg har gjort en bedre innsats ved ikke å bruke makro knapper.

 

Btw ikke les det som at jeg føler jeg gjør en bedre innsats enn andre. Ikke i det hele tatt, men det gir meg personlig en bedre følelse. =)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Btw... patch 1.1 er live! For de som vil ha patch notes så er det copy/paste under. NB de er stor patch note!

GENERAL

[Joakim vas Normandy]

Stapp inn så mange abilities som gjør det samme i en makro som mulig så oppnår du høyest effektivitet!

[keZ]

Hva er greia med den eventen som er nå egentlig? Har ikke helt skjønt greia. gjøre dailies for å få sånne "otherwordly sourcestones", og lukke masse rift for en sjanse til å få en mount drop?

[Gulrotsaft]

Fikk i dag en e-post med en "ally" kode som lar inntil 5 personer spille gratis i helgen (01.04-04.04)

 

Om noen har lyst så deler jeg gjerne denne koden siden alle jeg kjenner som har lyst til å spille allerede har kjøpt og betalt for spillet.

 

send PM ved interesse.

[SilentNET]

I dag var jeg så dum at jeg aktiverte authenticator saken i Rift. Lastet ned app'en og satte den opp.

 

Skulle logge inn i spillet, men får konstant beskjed om at jeg har feil brukernavn/passord.

 

Har lest på forumet, og det er visstnok ikke bare jeg som sliter. Hos enkelte har det løst seg etter å vente 1-2 timer. Hos andre har det løst seg ved å "sette opp" authenticator funksjonen en gang til på hjemmesidene til Trion (til tross for at dette gir en feilmelding).

 

Dette var da i dag tidlig, og det virker fortsatt ikke. Jeg sendte e-post til customer support, og dem sier at jeg må ringe. Jeg prøvde å ringe i dag tidlig (rundt kl 12:00) men hørte ikke en lyd i andre enden i 2-3 minutter, også ble det lagt på. Jeg prøvde å ringe et par ganger igjen nå, men det samme skjer.

 

Prøvde også å ringe det svenske support nummeret (kom til en bank) og det amerikanske i håp om at jeg kom gjennom der. Det nummeret finnes ikke i følge Telenor..

 

Er det noen andre som har råd?

[Kultom]

Prøvd å endre brukernavn og passord? Veldig uheldig, funket som bare det hos meg den authenticatoren. Noen som har gjort expert rifts enda? Kjørt en del T1 og litt T2 nå og begynner å nærme meg Raid nivå på focus, men har ikke prøvd å lage noe "lure's" og mane frem expert/raid rifts enda.

 

Om noen har gjort det, er det noe alla første fase blir som trash, andre fase er som første boss i T1, tredje fase er som sisteboss i T1, fjerde fase er som T2 trash, bonus fase 1 er T2 boss, og extra bonus fase er T2 sisteboss vanskelighet?

 

Fant ikke noe klart svar på vanskelighetsgraden på nettet heller, selv om videoer på youtube får det til å se mye enklere enn T2 ut hvertfall.

Endret 1. april 2011 av Kultom
