Lfg Cross server almost sinks my tanking

rumheroes@gmail.com (charles brown) — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 15:59:00 +0000

Obviously this isnt a podcast but it will be on the podcast . im hoping to get some feedback from others who have problems and how they are overcoming them

I generally dont mind PUGing , actually thats how hoe you meet new people and make new freinds .

However , I also often speak of manners and awesomeness . As it was in short supply alot of the time , in the original lfg system , the new one has become over run , with keyboard courage .

I hate taking short cuts but i take them if the group does , i hate using exploits , but i will use them if the group insists , i try to be a team player .

Now , tank rouges are different . A little more squishy , than say a warrior or a cleric tank . However we have more HPs than the other two , and the spell and damage mitigation are decent . their biggest downfall is holding aoe aggro , especially , VS large crit damage or the inquisicar heals damage build that has a massive ammount of threat from both heals and DPS .

So when a group get a rouge tank playing a little defensively helps .

I was recently in ap , on the first boss the necors pet kept getting the vacuum dot and i kept eating the boss emoted single shot death bolt . Now when i say eating it though . it didn't kill me . so when i say im not squishy i have that to fall back on .

On the second boss they wanted to use the tree stump trick , but wouldn't break crystals , i suggested tanking him in the cave . For those who don't know this method he tends to only crystal the tank then you just break him out and DPS per normal

except again they just left me in the crystal , except one guy , Bully i don't remember what server he was from but nice enough .

we have some juggling aggro , because as i said before we seem to be focused on getting through this in record time . and well rouge tanks aren't really built for that .

so i mae the best of it , take the shortcuts , when asked . and exploits when voted on , but we wipoe 4 times on the last guy , and each time im the last man standing ..... i lost aggro twice in the total 8 pulls we did but that i feel was due to the demand i move around with the boss .

So finally i say , you know guys this is a heals fight not a dps race if the support guy wants to go group heals we will have this ..... the response from them is i am tanking him wrong and taking to much damage . i say well i am the last man standing how is this the problem ...... 7 out of 8 pulls im the last man standing . me and the healer

now i look at my parser , after i leave this fail team of rage typists , and the log shows me something very awesome .....

In every pull these scholars are leaving the guys Damage shield up and that's why they are dying , no aoe heals and the damage shield is still up .....

i write this now because until this night i loved tanking . its fun . and i like meeting new people , thats fun too . But their rage got to me , and i thought these 3 guys have got to be right . until i looked back and found that little gem i my ACT log

78 percent of the damage the boss did was from his reflection shield .

which leads us to this morale . now matter how bad things get , don't let morons steal your love of your game . be diligent in your efforts and let them cry themselves to sleep at night . but at the end of the day play for you , don't quit for them .

Soul Tree Calculator :: Rift :: ZAM

rumheroes@gmail.com (charles brown) — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 22:24:00 +0000

Soul Tree Calculator :: Rift :: ZAM

This is my current build for running archon

I also have some built in macros ill have below , but i wanted to share the build for those who might wonder what i thought of a good utility build for a mage since they arent terribly popular .

Its very odd because they are very simple to play . most of all as long as your paying attention to the 5 minute timer on your buffs its easy mode .

Here's how to run it .

Your gonna need your spam macro , so lets build that first .

#show Volcanic Bomb

suppressmacrofailures

cast volcanic bomb

cast surging flare

cast earthen barrage

cast leeching flames

cast pillaging stone

now to to the button should be searing vitality you will want to cast this once in a while too to keep your HP up

so my numbers bar looks like this

1 Searing vitality 2 Archon Macro 3 Ashen defense 4 crumbling resistance 5 lingering dust 6 burning purpose 7 tempered armor 8 arcane aegis 9 vitality of stone and 0 shared vigor - rockslide

now these are the big player spells , they are :

1 & 2 : these are you most cast . Obviously the Spam macro you just keep tapping through out the fight but it helps to toss up the searing vitality when you have noticed it has fallen .

3, 4 , & 5 : are your targeted debuffs , these you will want to put on a target before spamming them . it keeps your stats refreshed and raises the damage your doing as well

6 -> 0 : these are the 5 minute buffs , and the whole reason raids need you , now these are hear so that actually at the 3 minute marker you can cycle through them and go back to spamming . A major mistake archons can make is when they see they are putting out decent dps , they loose focus and their buffs drop

- : rockslide eats charge But gives you a significant Int most per stack you can land on your target . Int = damage so its not NEEDED , but it is handy once you can get used to keeping it up on yourself .

Now on another bar above the numbers your going to want a few utilities .

Waning power (use this everytime its up on a boss ) Flaring power ( says it has a 2 minute cool down , but leaves a 5 min debuff so no one with the debuff can receive the effect again ) Power drain ( eats charge , but ups your damage and lowers theirs ) Fire armor ( +5% fire damage so casting it before a fight helps your dps ) cleansing flames , purification ( both remove effect) transmogrify ( makes bad things Squirrels ) and reflective command ( if timed right , shoots one damaging spell back at its evil host)

now the utilites are nice , but the real core to the archon is the macro and the numbers . so use what your comfortable with and read everything you have to really learn it .

However the numbers bar with the macro will get you through and archon needs in a raid .

good luck and happy raiding !

New guest , funny tells and bots , its the bastardcakes episode 13

rumheroes@gmail.com (charles brown) — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 21:07:00 +0000

So to open here is the tell in its entire glory as transcribed by me lol < cause i wasn't smart enough to type /log >

Kunvie - i have a question
Kunvie - when you put runes up , do you look at hoe much they are before you do it ?
kunvie - because it seems to me like you dont like to make money
Me - LoL
Kunvie - We {as in more than jsut me } jack up the price and you go undercut us by a huge margin
kunvie - like me , sindree , marble , radeon , napalm , petgroup .. etc
Me - Let me say , for example , that i Have 36 imdomitable runes
Kunvie - and ?
me - Now you say i undercut you .... and i do , once a week .
me - i am making money
Kunvie - oh yeah undercut of course np . i'm not saying dont undercut , but dont undercut by such a huge margin
me - 1 time a week i make 30 plat
me - 2 plat isnt a huge margin
Kun - ok today i made 120 plat . you lke to make more .
me - and mine will be gone quickly
kun - i mean obviously everybody wants to make money . its just that when we put 4.79 plat for a rune you go and put it for 3 plat .. it just seems a little crazy
kun - sometimes , but not you ... i have seen 50% undercut
kun - and i wont lie blazing toughs sell for 4.79 . sure they might sell faster at 3 plat . but you just dropped it down much faster
Me - Yes , because im not farming the mats im simply packing them away and sell a little here and there
me - seems to me if i can make them that cheaply , why inflate the market?
Kun - yeah but when it goes down to like 80g or something ... people like me go and raise it back up to have you guys just undercut to 3 plat again
Kun - dude , all of us can make very cheaply .
me - so do it
kun - you're not the only one . we want to milk it as much as possible
me - i wont be mad
kun - don't be like dray and put resolutes at 32 g . can i profit at 32 g ? yes but im nto gonna waste my time on that anymore .
kun - i mean better to sell a few runes for higher , than many runes for lower
kun - but thats just me
kun and yes all of us can make runes for very cheap but we dont want to because we like making huge profits
kun - thats why we price match each other
kun - well most of us if you do check it out
kun - or some people dont liek to do it ...
kun - kun anyways as a sign of good gesture , ill price match your 3 plat . we'll see where this goes .
kun at least you didnt put me on ignore ... somebody did . which is kinda funny
me - i make my mine appealing by using your prices . which is fine by me matching me , but im playing a video game , you sound like this is a lifestyle .
kun - no i just like playing the AH . this is the aspect of the game i like .
me - why would i Ignore you ? you had a valid question .
kun - somebody else did because they were pissed off when we kept undercutting each other .
kun - you might make it appealing for a good 10 minutes that you have it up until people like us just undercut it you know .
me - and then ....
kun - i know what it is , its who can stay up there the longest ... it happened before
me - I mean mine will go back up and yours will go down and you lost money trying to push me out when i didn't even notice lol how did you think i ended up with so many ?
kun - which i dont like doing . hence i made a pact with a lot of rune crafters to price match
kun - i dont loose money .... i am probably one of the richest people on the server right now .
kun - on this server i have 8625 plat
kun - i liek the AH
kun - i made this much as well as a few others sindree has about 8200 plat , because we cooperated
me - i direct you to the earlier statement , you will lower to meet mine , and also you wrote they will sell at 4.79 , also you wrote mine would sell quickly until you
lowered your prices , loosing 1.79 plat per sale , as you said mine would go away and yours would sell higher
Kun - oh yours might or might not go away ... people will undercut you if its not me it will be somebody else
me - so your loosing money so i wont sell mine ? even though you have alot of money that doesnt sound like good business
kun - but what you just did is effectivly lower down to 3 plat from 4.79 plat
kun - thats why it goes to 80 g sometimes
kun - i dont loose money ... i can sell them for dirt cheap . i loose the potential to make money .
kun - see its not , i loose money , because i have to sell at 4.79 plat ... i can sell for alot cheaper and make money but i want more profit than a smaller one
kun - can you make money from 3plat ? obviously . can you make more by selling it make 5g cheaper? yes.
kun - cheaper than mine
me - my point exactly , could you have ignored this and still sold yours ? yes
kun - i guess you missed the point

kun - the point is , not to drop the price down so fast because we loose out on potential money . by we , i mean both of us .
me - actually i host a podcast , based out of this server , i have about 1500 listeners , and your going to be an excellent
show topic man . i got your point though . you should listen this week . riftrunners.info

Thanks for Listening , also check out the posts below for the links from the show .
