So what other poetics gear do I grab for Sch? Got the head, belt, feet, wrist and ring so far. Upgraded the bracelet and will do the same with the ring the week.

So in WoD's first boss, had a DRG get hit with lvl 100 or whatever death.
He waited till the end then elusive jumped into like 2 alliancces and obliterated the group

Chest is decent, mostly because WoD is capped at 120 and spellspeed based and the Dreadwyrm drops on T13, so you want a chest better than Daystar before you get that. After that, it's all mostly crap, but you might still want the jewelry for mind and shit. Crafted neck/ring are imo a lot better than other alternatives though, dreadwyrm earring is what you want and that's T10 iirc so not bad. Pants T11, gloves WoD(or ironworks once they add better carbontwine sources than 50hunts, but at 120 WoD are a lot better).
 
First run after the reset. Got the Striking body from WoD.
Some strategic glamouring makes a nice look.

7 days where I played down, level 40. I, assuming I dont have too much homework, will try to get to 43 tomorrow :3

(then I'm unable to play till sunday night, oh well!)
 
So how do you guys handle the double prey during the add phase in Turn 10? I'm trying to Adlo both targets but I keep missing the second target...am I just too slow?

The SCH in my group aldo's both targets, so speed is a factor, but ask the WHM to help with stone skins if you can't get to them fast enough.

Damn some of the monks in this thread make me actually happy with my boots, neck and finally a ring I just got yesterday. But the head and gloves definitely don't exist.
But even with no loot, it's fun to play with your raid mates no :eek: ? Or am I playing for the wrong reasons ?
 
No. I still at times miss raiding with former raid groups.

Anywho after doing faceroll content for so long, I just need to get better. Feels like I have to relearn 10 all over again...lol

Playing with my raid mates can make anything bearable - and not just because we can curse the rest of the party/alliance in our linkshell after that NIN dies for the third time to Doom in WoD.

In my group the whm gets the second prey. In second set, when only one daughter remains the sch switches to dps and the whm shields the last prey.
That's the plan anyway, sometimes we hear "I got it, I got it... oh I didn't get it".

Yes, you're too slow. Scholar can adlo both targets in time provided there isn't a crippling lag in the connection and that's enough for Prey. A lot of groups use some kind of coordination between WHM and SCH, like SCH goes from the bottom of the list towards the top and WHM goes from the top of the list to bottom. If you're missing the adlo timing consistently consider wasting a swiftcast on the second one. If it helps, the first double prey comes out in roughly 2 GCDs after the spawn I think?

Working working! The FC is Red Dot. Look for any members with a DOT tag to apply. Just right click on them to apply. Also my ingame is Eithne Rain if you want to send me a friend invite.

Awesome, thanks! I'll add you in game, name V'khen Tia. <3

I'm not ashamed to admit I only understand about half the mechanics of WoD.

In other news I finally got my first Lucis tool, the WVR one. With this I think I won't meld my off-hand until it's needed. I'll just put a CPIII in there and call it a day.

I think I'll focus on getting my gatherers up to speed now. I'm a 2* miner, with welfare melds and the others aren't even at 50. Fishing is so boring though.

Level 150 Death and Level 100 Flare will hit if the number of people in the circle is divisive by 3 or 2 respectively. Basically get out. If you see yourself linked to the binded target when the cast hits, gg.

Lately I've been browsing through some of the OST on YouTube and there is a fantastic amount of great music in this game. I really can't recall the last game I played with such a great soundtrack. So I've been inspired to list and chart my favourites that I've been enjoying the most in the passed few months I've been playing. This is my top ten. Not trying to say these are the best all round but these are my favs. I'm sure everyone's top ten is different.

Honourable mention to this. I don't know what it's called but it plays in Upper La.

10. Undying Faith. This is short but sweet.
9. Pitfire. You can never mistake when you are in Amalj'aa territory.
8. Skulldiggery. Minimalist but I like it.
7. Hubris. Still the best Crystal Tower track I reckon.
6. Fallen Angel. Guaruda's theme is a classic.
5. Tenacity. Great time levelling to this.
4. Ultima
3. Calamity Unbound. The martial drums and horn just make this such a great battle track.
2. Steel Reason. I love this.
1. To the Sun. Still my fav track I in the game.

I hope tonight's maintenance fixes the instance servers. Since 2.5 I've been getting the worst lag in duties since I've started the game. I'm guessing they didn't account for the increased load with lots of people in CT-WoD now.

This is the greatest idea I have ever seen.

It happened towards the end of the first attempt. I can assure you no one was happy lmao. It was quite something. Someone stated it was some 12 to 14 people died due to that alone, I didn't count but it wiped out everyone but one guy in our alliance B and A's was like 1/2 gone.

I was hoping for this, but free login weekend is probably going to blow things up again. It's frustrating because in the general world everything is totally fine and I think I'm good, then I start an instance and randomly everything just sits there for five seconds mid-fight. It's usually fairly recoverable, and you don't want to be That Guy blaming everything on lag, but it's not like I need the additional challenge when it comes to staying alive.

The worst is in T10 when a lag spike hits when I'm supposed to be stacking for tether or charge. "I was there damnit!!"

Have been fishing up silver sovereign for my rod. I thought I needed 10. After a week, I got them, went to Mor Dhona and saw I needed 20.

Tables were flipped, and then I went back to fishing...

WoD music has been giving me chills

I'm such a sucker for violins.

Soken really outdid himself this patch, all the new themes are awesome. That WoD arrangement is better than most of the stuff we get at Distant Worlds.
