  13. What exactly is the difference between protean and earth shaker? It seems like the same mechanic to me. Bait the line aoe, move out of it. Exactly what you did for the protean spread.

  18. Thanks for the information. I've been playing for a few months now but with work and life (also I enjoy finishing all the content synced) am getting into the final stages of HW. Good to know about these before strats ahead of time.

  20. Welp, in my static we call the "protean spread" a "clock spread" and the "protean stack" an "X stack". (if it was the opposite, the DPS rotating counter-clockwise to meet the tanks/healers, it'd be a "cross stack").

    While calling things by the name of the first mech that looks like it makes sense to people who've SEEN those mechanics back in the day, as it's familiar to them, as time goes by many more people come into the game, and to those people who weren't around when those mechanics were current, those names have absolutely no meaning at all. So, it's way better to call strats by generic terms that say something to EVERYBODY, than by something that only gives a recall to a few veterans.

  26. Limit Cut appeared most recently in Diamond Weapon (Extreme) and it's not a standard limit cut. So people can assume in the future that when those numbers pop up, you're going to get hit by something in order. Whether that's the standard Cleave+Dash or just 8 consecutive cleaves or AoEs. But it only takes one pull to find out so probably not too important.
