    SA killed Sic, Grug, and RK/PM last night. Granted, some of them are HK geared already, but not to the breadth that TEC is. I think TEC is just filled with baddies (Ategev)

    I havent logged in for years I think I might be done with rift

    a mix of lack of time and not having enough fun people to play with

    I blame @pipthefair

    speaking of pips bleach was amazing again this week, byakuya (fuck you I looked up the spelling) blowing off the messing with your past bullshit was fantastic

    There's also the issue of logged in for years... considering the game is just now a year old. :D

    Yeah none of the akylios mage weapons are very exciting at all, I think I'll log in for a couple raids and blow my DKP

    mass effect 3 multiplayer is hells of fun though, and diablo 3 comes out in 2 months I guess and that is going to just eat all of my time forever

    I feel like I need to play a bunch this weekend and finally get that Air Glyph or whatever that increases my dex by 30 on one hand. Depends on what the bonus this weekend is. It'd be awesome if it was XP.

    So my Cleric's 31, and I'm in the middle of Purifier healing a Foul Cascade, right?

    I'm sitting here thinking, "Man, AOE healing's a bit of a pain, wonder how you're supposed to do it? All my stuff's single-target healing..."

    And then I notice my Player button's flashing. Apparently I never actually spent my level 31 soul point.

    Read Surging Flame.

    ...Oh, hey, THAT's how.

    If you want AoE healing, mix Warden and Sentinel.

    I had a decent HK pug last night! I grabbed Midnight's Edge from Matron and the Loop of Lost Souls from Zilas. The Double Barrelled Problem Solver dropped, but I didnt get it.

    Also, have you fuckers seen the ID gear drops? There's some really nice-looking gear in there.

    well crap i was gonna link it but they took the gallery down

    Is there any sort of "scroll of Resurrection" type thing for this? I played at launch and stopped after a while, but I'm dying for an MMO to scratch my itch and my attempt at free to play Aion didn't hit it at all. But since I already have an account, I'd sooner resub that then start over and such. \

    edit: There is no account matching this email address my ass. damnit, did I get hacked and stolen? I bet I got hacked and stolen.

    edit 2: Nope, I'm an idiot and I changed my email that I normally used and got my account. Yay.

    edit 3: Apparently I got 3 free days for logging back into my account. Victory!

    edit: I swear I'll stop editing now, but are you guys still on Gnarlewood, on Defiant? Cause I'll roll up a new person to tool around for a few days before deciding if I want to resub. Apparently they've much improved a lot of things though, so that's cool.

    edit: I LIED I'M DOING IT AGAIN. I'm reading back through the thread and there's so much drama. Where are all the cool fun not scary people playing nowadays? Did everyone go goon squad?

    No scroll of resurrection, but there is ascend a friend. Doesn't work on people that have an account already though.

    Well that's fine, since I get 3 days now. Now to just figure out what server to play on, with maximum funtime people. The last 10 pages have not particularly cleared that up for me.

    edit: Downloading on Steam now, but apparently all my characters were on Sunrest and Faeblight, which apparently no one plays on anymore?

    We've kinda split up now. I recommend going to Faeblight and seeing if you can join a guild there. It's a shame, cause this is still a great MMO.

    Man, I love how the event Planarite bonus works for everything.

    Get planarite in the mail from a lootable? Bonus.
    Trade in a sourcestone for planarite? Bonus.

    Oh man, there are UI mods for this? Any recommendations for good ones? I'd like an AH mod probably, and a good party-bar mod if possible.

    Most of the mods out there are for raid UIs, DPS meters, things like that. I personally don't use them, as the tools given are usually enough to get the job done.

    I'm surprised they havn't put in a built-in UI for it, seeing as how they have /loadequip and /saveequip already.

    Yes. I'm guessing its 100 for the T1 rifts and ~220 (to not miss) on the T2 ones in Ember Isle.

    Work on the DPS stuff, and let other people do the tanking for you. Pick up the tank gear when it drops.

    Can greater essences be bought anywhere, or are they all drops? Working on a tank-spec focus.

    The best essences are bought from the vendors in the Planar College behind the Manufactory. Depending on who you talk to, they will either tell you to buy the 50/2500 essences or just wait and save up for the 100/5000 essences. That's 50 inscribed sourcestones and 2500 planarite, etc. Personally, I'm buying the 50/2500 just to have a tank specific source engine with lots of +end and +block so I have something to use for Tier 1 raids while I work on a water resist and fire resist engine.

    Also, RE: greater essences: More bang for your buck to go with a lesser in that slot than a greater, generally. If you go with a greater, you should be going with one of the T2 earth/fire raid rift greaters. Fire will get you either a Rogue/Warrior DPS essence, or a healing essence. Earth gets you a tanking essence or a Mage/Cleric DPS essence.

    @hoodie i pretty much quit, my account is still active and i'm still in TEC but i ain't logged in in over a month

    anyways monster told me about it the other day, i think they decided after saturday or something? i mean nobody liked warlee raid leading, monster least of all (he wanted to reclaim his position but can't really now that he is workin' full time) so i reckon Wurm is gonna be calling now, and when monster is there, he'll be calling

    that's what he told me, anyway, you know how dudes be so it could've changed back already

    but lightforce quit, among other people, and i think errybody realized that just thinking about how much warlee sux and not doing anything about it wasn't working

    i dunno i'm supposed to be hanging with monster here shortly i'll tell him to make ye poste in here

    @sniperguy

    You can be a perfectly good AOE healer and an EXCELLENT tank healer with one simple spell: Void Life

    Dump 51 points in chloro, and you need the following skills on your bar: Void Life, Bloom, Flourish, Essence Surge, Radiant Spores, Entropic Veil, Synthesis, LifeGiving Veil, Wild Growth, Living Shell, Empathic Bond, and Living Energy. As well as Soul Tether (combat res) and Seed of Life (regular res) and Nature's Cleansing (cleanse)

    Living Energy needs to always be toggled on

    For Single Target healing use Synthesis on the person you're healing (this automatically activates life bound veil) and for AOE healing turn on Life Giving Veil

    Inside the spoiler is a basic chloro methodology that works exactly the same for both single target and AOE healing
    Radiant Spores on the enemy (keep it refreshed)
    Void Life until you have full charge then activate Wild Growth, and ever time you have full charge and Wild Growth is off cd use Wild Growth again
    Keep using Void Life the entire time Wild Growth is going
    Once you have Void Lifed back to full charge, activate Entropic Veil, and then continue spamming Void Life
    For the rest of the fight you will activate entropic veil IF you have full charge and ONLY IF Wild Growth is on Cooldown

    That is your regular rotation, here are some conditionals:

    IF the whole group takes spike damage use Flourish
    IF ONE person takes spike damage use Bloom on them
    If THE TANK takes huge spikes of damage use Essence Surge on them

    IF you run out of mana you have several options depending on your spec and what you're healing role is.
    IF you have warlock in your spec you can always life tap once or twice no matter what your role is
    IF you have dominator in your spec you can use mana wrench safely if you are AOE healing, but it can be risky if you are the tank healer
    IF you are aoe healing, use Living Shell and you'll regenerate a lot of your mana provided you aren't hit by something
    If you are tank healing use Empathic Bond first, but only if the tank is going to be taking damage (ie not during a run around phase), and then use Living Shell Second

    There are better builds specifically for aoe healing, and better rotations for both single target and aoe healing but they can depend on gear and synergy crystals

    51 Chloro and the rotation I posted will get you through everything just fine.

    Man, I havn't been on my rogue in a while, been mostly busy leveling my cleric. (Which isn't in any of the guilds.)

    It's funny, can't put my finger on why, but it just feels more... comfortable. Maybe from all my years of playing a WoW priest.
