  1. “Read your tooltips” should really just be “google your abilities” because some tooltips are awul and all kinda suck. Bard tooltips sometimes literally dont say what the skills do.

  2. I'll admit, when they BACKFILLED abilities, but I was already lvl 80 RDM, I didn't see those new AOE abilities for MONTHS….. Verthunder 2 and Veraero 2 were not on my bar for way too long, because I didn't even know those abilities EXISTED until I accidently pressed P and saw "what are these?"…… felt sheepish, but they didn't even EXIST when I levelled the class.

  3. The tank is the go to zero thought virgin option to commend. If you commend the DPS either you have been paying attention and noticed they did well. or you really like their Glam.
    Best Glam is a perfectly valid reason to commend

  4. Personally I think they should have like basic combos in a literal menu and how they work for every class. So you don't go hours not realizing some random ogcd triggers the main big chain. Sometimes the tooltips don't even tell you what combos into what so it can get confusing fast.

    Would make trying out new jobs and preparing hotbars a lot better. Atm its better to just Google a good basic rotation or combo and go off that like most games. Which might scare people away if they accidentally run into an ultimate rotation spreadsheet lmao. Made the mistake of showing that to a casual friend once

    Defensive abilities still help deal damage because there's less heals the healer has to toss you meaning more deeps.

    [Elusive Jump] deals insta-kill damage. shame about the target tho

  6. You are wrong ruri. Rampart does not contribute to DPS by standing in mechanics getting vulnerability stacks for you to deal more damage. You play a PLD you should know that is NOT how you use Rampart. You have hollowed ground for that! Stand in mechanics that deal 0 dmg to you AND prevents you from getting vuln stacks! PLUS now the healer can just put a regen on you so it can concentrate in dealing even MORE damage!….for 7 seconds BUT! 7 seconds od raw, unadulterated damage can make a huge difference.

  7. Funny thing about the tiny bit of damage section, he used Alexander as an example… when on one of the videos made just to put the battle theme out on youtube there was a group that in the middle of the lockdown time is stopped autowipe mechanic Alexander died… because of a dot that someone got off on him just before the mechanic started.

  8. >Rampart is for dealing damage by tanking mechanics
    No, ya silly sausage- Rampart improves DPS by keeping you alive, thereby avoiding multiple seconds of 0-DPS while the healer raises you and a subsequent minute of lowered DPS from the 'near-death' debuff.
    A paladin that pulls back from the mechanics AoE and just spams Shield Toss on cooldown while it pops (or even just sits there with a thumb up their ass if the AoE is too wide to toss past) is still dealing more deeps over the course of the entire fight than a pally who sits there, facetanks the hit, and then has to deal with 'Near Death' for the next 60 seconds.

  9. I love the "read your tool tips" bit. I always read mine, sometimes multiple times, because I'm a dumb person who retains information very poorly. I even forget what I just read as soon as I finished reading it. One day, I hope to have a job fully memorized.
