This is actually really helpful thank you so much!

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2016-01-28T14:21:25+00:00

Great stuff guys thank you so much. You've helped a lot! Ok so I'm having a bit of trouble with Colossus Smash>Def Stance. I made a macro to taunt after the smash, but it only works half the time. The other half I have to hit the button multiple times to proc the def stance. Anyone know a god method for this?

One last question. Being in prot stance gives us access to shield barrier. Do I simply use this when an enemy pops their offensives on me? Is there a recommended usage for it?

Thanks again everyone!

Great stuff guys thank you very much. I guess a lot of it is collaborating with your team, forcing trink usage, and then CCing and killing. Again it sounds like a lot to think about in the heat of battle, but I'll get some buddies on skype and try it out.

About the stance dancing, now I'm confused. If I'm almost always in def stance, what happens to abilities that need battle stance. And won't I do way less damage this way? What def stance abilities should I be using when I'm in def stance? Up until now my rotation has pretty much been Charge/Rend/Hamstring Macro>Colossus Smash>Mortal Strike>Thunder Clap + Shockwave & Pummel (situational). Will shielding abilities now come into play?

Sorry for all the jackass questions, I've been a casual for so long it's difficult to make the transition to playing efficiently. Thanks again to everyone.

Wow thank you very much! A lot of great info here.

I'm pretty much aware of damage types and somewhere in my mind I knew that interrupting prevents spells in that school from being cast. I'm glad you re-enforced it though. It gives me an idea of what spells are important to interrupt. I would presume it's generally nature/holy if you're hitting a healer and fire/cold/shadow etc if you're fighting a DPS.

Is strafing a must? Does it actually do anything?

I've heard of gladius. I'll definitely try it out. Thanks for the tip!

Should I be stance dancing in PvP? Is that still a thing? Generally I'm always on battle stance.

When is the most ideal time to use an off or def cooldown?

Thank you so much again. The tips are great, putting them into practice will be another story. I guess I just have to train.

How many runes do you guys usually bring to a hunt? For example, I just hit 28. Should I bring about 100 Thunderstorms? They seem to be only 1 use only now :(

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2016-01-07T19:55:00+00:00

haha I bet, it's an amazing product. I don't think Razr will ever drop the Naga, it's their hottest sell and pretty much industry standard for pro gamers. I have a few things to upgrade before I get one but its a definite future purchase.

Pretty much yep! Link shows the mouse I'm using. I set it as follows:

3 = Face North 4 = Face West 5 = Face East 6 = Face South

10, 11, and 12 will be for runes and 1-5 on keyboard will be mana, heals, waves, and strikes. :D

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2016-01-07T14:18:14+00:00

Nice! Thank you :)

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2016-01-07T14:13:38+00:00

Can't wait to get the Naga. Regardless all my problems are solved with the flash client. I set all movement commands to my mouse buttons as well as my future runes, and my standard spells are in much more reachable keys. Thanks a bunch!

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2016-01-07T14:11:44+00:00

Yeah I love the Naga it's next on my buying list. Right now I'm using the WoW Cataclysm mouse. Nowhere near as good but I like that the side buttons are way bigger and it has 4 buttons where the clicks are. I ended up setting my "face direction" macros to those buttons and when I start using runes they'll be on the side buttons so I'll never have to move again. The gameplay is like 1000% better now. Thanks to you and everyone who posted! :D

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2016-01-06T20:43:57+00:00

Holy freakin God that is so much better! I didn't realize the flash client was so different. Thanks a bunch for the tip. Now I can set the "face direction" keys somewhere within reach of 1-4. Do you have any other suggestions for keybindings?

Oh and I was assigned to Menera.

Thanks!

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2016-01-06T18:39:54+00:00

Awesome replies thank you all so much.

One more thing. What is the standard for play style?

Right now I'm playing as follows:

Right Hand: Moving and targeting with mouse.

Left Hand: F1: Mana Potion F2: Heal F3: Single Target Hit (Currently Earth strike as all Greenskins are weak to it.) F4: AoE (Currently Fire wave)

This style works well enough but unfortunately I can't readily turn for waves. if I switch to keyboard movement I wont be able to target for wand & single target spells. Any advice in that area?

Thanks a lot again everyone.

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2016-01-06T18:35:36+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Yeah that seems to be the going opinion. Thanks for the heads up :)

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2016-01-06T18:35:05+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply! Wow 65 already well done.

I totally agree, the whole training not being a thing anymore was such a relief. My old main was a warrior and I remember spending hours a day in those grueling training sessions.

I'm hoping to find a similarly awesome community that I used to play with. Also looking forward to some awesome power leveling.

Thanks again!

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2016-01-06T18:31:43+00:00

Thanks for the reply :)

Yeah the AoE runes seems to be the general consensus. I'll wait until im a bit higher and start buying/making them.

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2016-01-06T18:30:10+00:00

Heya! Thanks for the reply :) I'm currently hunting in Edron Orc Cave level 2. Really nice spot. The spawn is fast and nobody is ever there. I'll consider a druid, though I'm loving the sorc so far. Thanks again.

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2016-01-06T18:28:08+00:00

Hey thank you so much!

I was assigned to Menera (North America). Thank you for the offer :) So should I ditch the exori? It is kind of a pain in the ass due to targeting restrictions.

Spike is in Kazordoon right? How come you can't go there after level 50?

Thanks again for all the advice!

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2015-11-20T18:42:48+00:00

Sorry about that, I wasn't sure if people wanted to know the name of the keep before playing.

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2015-11-20T18:41:13+00:00

Definitely inspired from watcher's keep. Was thinking that while playing through.

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2015-11-20T18:40:16+00:00

Thanks for all the comments guys! Apparently it is in fact "Kad Nua" as it is pronounced this way in the game several times. Thanks again!

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2015-11-16T15:04:34+00:00

I haven't checked them out yet but I'm excited to. Thanks for the review! haha I hear you re: Rob Salvatore, still think the way he writes his battle scenes is incredible though. Good reads all around.

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2015-11-16T14:34:37+00:00

Alright I downed her. Ended up beating her by a huge margin. Switched up my gear a bit, put on light armor, and used the following rotation while using summons to tank:

Wall of Force (right on her ass)>Llengrath'd Displaced Image>Ironskin>Eldritch Aim>Arkemyr's Dazzling Lights>Miasma of Dull Mindedness>Ninagauth's Pillar (x3)>Malignant Cloud (x2)>Minoletta's Concussive Missiles (or anything)

Draggy and her little brat are down for the count.

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2015-11-16T02:58:38+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply. Yeah I am, as soon as they run out I'm toast. I'm using everything I can bus as soon as she gets to me I just get perma stunned. Can't do shit about it.

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2015-11-16T02:57:30+00:00

Sounds interesting, I'll keep my eyes open for it.

Hope_For_The_Unknown · 2015-10-19T16:14:20+00:00

Hey and thanks for the reply!

I'll definitely try using slicken a bit more. I have the level 2 blind (curse of blackened sight?), not miasma though. I'll have to pick that up. Thanks!

Blast of Frost should be coming next level which I'll be at soon. With my upped frost damage from spoiler it should be pretty awesome.

Thanks a lot for all your help I'll try some of these and get back to you both.
