Raiding wizards

[Tecmos Deception]

Ok, so I'm getting that a full mallet = just go apeshit? I didn't realize it would be that much threat that a wizard spamming lure of ice wouldn't be able to pull aggro.

That's kind of boring! Lol [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Game Text Triggers.

A program not unlike gameparse that monitors your log file and can give you visual and/or audio cues when it sees certain things happen. Handy for timing roots, mezzes, buffs, respawn timers, and all sorts of other stuff like that. Not against the rules since all it does is read the log file and relay that info to you.

Not to troll but things likes that don't feel classic.

I know, but it's not 1999. We all want classic mechanics in the game, but (almost) none of us want the original UI, 56k connections that are interrupted when our parents try to make a phone call, the wiki as unrealiable as castersrealm, lack of voip, etc. It's not classic for me to be a good enchanter either, but it'd be silly to never play in HS or seb right now just because I never had the key on live until well into Velious, etc.

the trigger thing made me think of wow addons. maybe im understanding you wrong but are you saying there are audio cues for when things happen or when buff timers are up?

It's not unlike deadly boss mods, yeah.

You tell the GTT program what text you want it to look for in your log file and what you want it to do when it sees that text. For example, when it sees "feet adhere to the ground" you could have it start a 3:00 countdown GUI bar for your fetter duration, or when it sees "has worn off" you could have it play a beep or whatever to make sure you realize one of your spells just wore off, etc.

It's far from perfect unless you're super crazy about how many text triggers you program it to look for, because the root example above would start a 3:00 every time it sees that text even if you are just rerooting the same thing because of a break. And like with mez spells, a lot of them give the same text display even if it wasn't you casting it or it wasn't the spell you want it to be timing, etc.

I think the idea with concussion "resists" is that a nuke gives aggro regardless of resist, therefore a concussion can reduce aggro regardless of resist (its an anti-nuke). Would be interesting to test if it also works here. My main on live was a wiz but haven't played one here. Though, yeah it doesn't really matter here with short fights. Just chain burn.

I would be interested to find out if concussion really did anything when it resisted as well. This was always something we speculated on live but never knew for sure.

If it truly reduces hate by a set number can it be partially resisted?
