Enchanters - timer

[Peiagh]

I use a logitech G15 gaming keyboard that has an lcd screen on it where i can set up 2 repeatable countdown timers. Each has its own audio message that pops up when the timer runs out and i have 1 set for haste and one for mez.

I like having the start/stop button on the kb as opposed to having another program outside of the game.

You can't keep casting stuff like haste on yourself as it is incredibly mana inefficient. It's a good habit to get into setting timers for yourself. I have used my iPhone timer and also a multi-timer for my iPhone (it's an app). I do like the idea of the floating clock in windows. It's great for mez and charm timers as well as buff timers. The whole point of this is to be as mana efficient as possible. Timing buff refreshes helps save your mana on casting too soon, mobs die faster as haste is kept active, healer mana is saved as they don't need to heal as often. Mez and charm timers are handy for the above reasons. Keeping mobs locked down means you get beat on less.

I always just cast it on myself first then everyone else.

the way i always did it especially in raids where you arent usually grouped with everyone you need to buff is:

if someone wants a buff refresh have them simply /tell you with the specific buff you want.

then you just type /rt and cast it. quick simple easy. they want my buff they better ask for it. i have more important things to do than keep track of 40 buff timers esp when ppl are dying.

www.stopclock.com always worked for me.

Won't work any more. The domain is for sale.

Raids are different. In groups however, it's a nice bonus when the buffers keep their buffs refreshed on the members of the group without asking.
