Anyone else OCD about the order their buffs are in?

[spectrefax]

Bothers the crap out of me if they aren't in the order they're normally in. Now, it's progressed into full on OCD. Anyone else?

[Jauna]

If the clickies are on top I dont give a damn.

Hi friend!

Hmmm , not really, it has never bothered me much, but if it is important to you, then cast them always in the same order?:)

When I am online with people that get bothered with wrong orders , I usually try to give them tips to focus on something else, like breathing for example, rhythmic breathing helps in dealing with small episodes of anxiety.

Having also a token object in their hands, like a fidget spinner or stress balls helps a toon too.

I had a friend that managed to lower anxiety online by having an egg or two of silly putty while playing. :cool:

You also need to take a mental inventory/note of when the anxiety completely disrupts your fun while playing.

When this begins to happen more and more often, you need to begin applying these little exercises to focus your attention elsewhere.

With practice the anxiety should fade.

Have a big hug from the Isthmus and hope you are ok ;)

Yes

[Bummey]

That's not what OCD means

and yes. There's only so much I can do about it in groups or raids, but I am very particular about buff order when self buffing.

[Swish2]

I like to put mine in alphabetical order. Nothing worse than someone coming and throwing me a casual Aegolism :mad:

[Nixtar]

What really triggers me is when zoning and buffs gets re-shuffled. I went through all that work for nothing! NOTHING!

[ZiggyTheMuss]

With my chanter, yes. I have even cancelled rune V just to try to get them in the correct order with bedlam directly in front of it instead of like 3 or 4 in front of it.

I would only make sure to keep high mana buffs, and group buffs low on the list. Just in case the clickies get burnt through.

Nothing worse than not prioritizing Call of the Predator for example and having it stripped from a dispel midfight. No fuckin chance you're getting a ranger to group midfight.

dispel is so fucked now my buff order obsession isnt as empowering as it used to be :(

consistently get my PotG or Mask of Hunter dispelled in my 10th or 11th slot when hit with a random dispell from green mob ><

I think its probably more common for people to be OCD about them than not. Everyone I've ever talked to about it is in agreement. Buff order OCD or gtfo.

its prob the same people who are lazy with buff order also have nightmare bag organization

Im looking at all you people who just right click items on corpses and have no cares where that crap goes - holy moly your bags are abysmal.

[Erati]

I will critique bags/inventory setups for free if you post pictures. I provided this service in Awakened for some time, lives were changed.

this is 100% true, I think Dald created 5 bag slots for me through his criticisms

changed my game for-ev-er

[kjs86z]

Since dispel is random now, no.

Only ones I care about is Bedlam and Rune 5...and that order always matters.

100% this. I used to obsess over buff order but now it's pointless.

Dispel isn't as random as you guys are making it sound, at least in my experience and according to Haynar. A buff in slot 15 is still far less likely to get dispelled than a buff in slot 1.

I cast 4 low level (under lvl 20) buffs on myself, and then cast Cancel magic on myself 10 times, recasting whatever buff got dispelled after each Cancel Magic. Slot 3 or 4 never got dispelled.

1 - Slot 2
2- Slot 1
3 - None
4 - Slot 2
5 - Slot 1
6 - Slot 2
7 - Slot 1
8 - Slot 1
9 - Slot 1
10 - Slot 2

I know how it works. There is a hidden number rolled when you apply buffs that determine whether a dispel will work on that buff or skip it. Thats why its random, that number is hidden and thusly the interaction will 'appear' random to the player when you get a buff from slot 10 dispelled and nothing above it touched.

I just want my clickes in top 4 slots then I don’t care about the order

[StinkyGreenBud]

Stop using the medical condition OCD for your anal retentive tendencies. That is Not OCD or even close to it. And to stay on topic, no, I don't give crap about what order my buffs are in.
