Coffees!
 
 
Last night wasn't too eventful.  I got on late.  I wanted to run a guildie through a Vet CoW, but didn't have enough DPS on.  My wife wanted to make a Storm lookalike (since apparently, Aurin females can't be black) and made a new character.  After trying out Exiles, she went to Dominion and found out Cassian hairstyles are better than Exile ones.  I made a character with her, then didn't want to play a Mechari warrior with her and made another.  So I bounced around on two hours of Domside Arkship.  It was a great time!  Felt nice to see some red again.
 
Anyway, we had thought about queueing up our DPS, but ended up not.  I wanted to kick off talking about the trinity today.  A lot of people will only play DPS.  Some refuse to play DPS.  Still others won't heal or tank.  I know I started as a DPS warrior and Spellslinger (depending on which faction).  However, after we ended up with a ton of DPS and no tanks or healers, I decided to do what I could for my guild and made Seeger a tank.  Now I love it; Tanking's so much more active and aggressive in this game than in, say, WoW.  It takes a lot of knowhow to avoid damage and to know when to pop mitigation.  I have a lot of fun tanking in this game especially.  To this day, though, I haven't healed in many games, if any.  I might try it one day.
 
What roles of the trinity to do you like best, and why?	
----
			I love healing and tanking but I don't really like being DPS in any generic trinity MMO. I'm not sure why. In WildStar specifically I haven't actually tried tanking yet, I normally prefer to heal. I like the idea of tanking though! Maybe another alt in the works eventually..... Hmm... 	
----
			
Like most, I prefer DPS. But it's more fun and engaging in this game than others. But I do like tanking and healing a lot as well. I kind of depends on my mood, tbh. I like that I have all options available to me.
 
We had fun last night introducing PlasmaJohn to vet SC and vet KV. :)	
----
			
I've only DPS'd here except for low-level PVP Healing, back when we actually had low-level PVP.
 
I enjoyed the heck out of PVP Healing. It was a crapload of fun taking a bar full of Heals, Stuns and Interrupts instead of the usual Face Smashing skills. Makes me wanna go level Lola again, now that I think about it.
 
I tanked a little in WoW, but haven't done any of it here, mostly because I don't get to do a lot of group content. The concept is easy enough and I have no doubt I could learn to do it well, but I have always hated trying to keep track of two builds, two specs, two rotations, two sets of armor. Maybe if they made it easier for us to keep track of all that crap, I'd try it. As it is, I can barely afford to upgrade and run my DPS gear, much less a separate set. :P	
----
			
I got on last night and did a bunch of PvP practive BGs. It was fun, but I'm so tired on running into teams that consist of 5 slingers and 3 espers.
 
I main heal, and always have in the mmos I've played. I was a resto druid in WoW and a sith sorceror in TOR. I also really do enjoy tanking in most games. DPS is always hit or miss for me, mostly because I prefer the situational re-activeness of healing and tanking to the rotational roteness of dps.

Good morning
 
Well we had an eventful evening last night.  We got our raid group together and ventured into the bowels of Genetic Archives.  Ohmna goes heavy on the prune juice.  After several whacks at the worm, we had the most beautiful phase three ever and then lickety split, the phage critter was dead!  Finally.  I'm relatively sure this will be a repeated battle, but when everyone has seen it done once, that tends to cement certain behaviors into place.  I think it also helps to have lots of warriors (which we don't).  Anyhow, engineer assault weapon dropped (offspec dammit!!) and the Head popped out, and we went to go buy our entrance to Datascape.  And thus, into Datascape we ventured.  It is a LOT more visually appealing than GA, and there was much oohing and aahing.  And then we had time to get the first two minibosses down.  We were whacking on the 3rd and even stayed over raid time just because it was fun, but eventually too many people had to go, so we didn't manage to finish the dude with the disorient.  Lots of fun though.
 
Today, think I've done all my soldering yesterday, which is a shame because it was fun (because I don't do it very often) and back into the mysteries of the P1011 processor and it's weirdnesses.  And tonight, I have no idea.  Probably help someone get attuned because, hey, it's Attunesday (plus we don't typically raid on Tuesdays).  Looking forward to drop 5, hoping that gets pushed to release soon.
 
Also finally put up a profile picture after a year or so :-).  Felt like I was in a picture-free rut.
 
EDIT:  Oh Obligatory on-topic comment.  I have played all roles over the years.  I find that I am happiest in the tanking role.  It took a long time to get to that point thought, and primarily I was a damage dealer with a very short side foray into healing for awhile in Burning Crusade.  I love the feeling of tanking, the sense that I am the dude who stands between his people and the forces of evil.  Etc... insert heroistic jingle here.  However all that being said, I've had a lot of fun healing battlegrounds on the medic, so if I ever get enough EG casually to get a 3rd LAS (why in the WORLD is that so expensive in gems, if you actually want people to play more than a few roles??  I actually submitted a bug report on that and it should have been altered at launch -- You have to have one DPS slot, and there are enough PVP/PVE differences to make it necessary to tweak things) I might try PVE healing in adventures or dungeons.  I doubt I have enough time or desire to attune a 3rd character.  Plenty to do with the first two in that vein.

Good Morning Everyone!
 
 
I was on for a little bit last night to do my dailies. Logged off about 7:30pm to have some couch time with hubby. :wub:
 
I am a DPS'er and always have been. I will heal, if needed, but get bored too easy with it. :wacko: I have been thinking of making a tank type. Maybe my stalker will do that. I have seen they actually do tank quite well.
 
I want to be universal for the needs of my guild. I just have to get the needed motivation to level my stalker. Or maybe I should level a warrior?
 
Choices and decisions! It's a Tuesday and I don't want to make decisions. LOL
 
Have a good day all.

So I spent a huge chunk of my post-work time yesterday... making way too many characters for a game I don't even play anymore. XD
 
Oops.
 
Today I'll probably level my engineer some more! Gotta get through Farside and into Wilderrun. Also need to somehow get groups together for all the adventure quests I haven't been able to complete...
 
As far as roles go, I prefer support roles; dps tends to just bore me to tears. So, healer or tank > all!

			Thank you!  I feel like I probably go to sleep calling that fight out ("Off-tank taking threat.  Back to Behalter, incoming 3 ability phase, prepare for possible erupt, be on your marks.  Next ability WILL BE Devour.  Off-tanks taunt, main tank taunt, everyone find your quadrant, be ready to kill adds, tentacles up, kill, oh !@#$ Ohmna decided to do random crap, Red Five: I'm going in", etc.)

			I was a born DPSer, but over time I began to explore the possibility of healing and tanking.  I began in WoW during the heart of Wrath, later experimenting with it in Rift and WildStar in beta.  I actually like tanking a lot but I've had pretty bad luck finding a game that I stick with that has a DPS roll and tank roll I like the most.  I always end up with a class that heals instead of tanks sadly.  I think if I had stuck with Rift that could've changed but there were numerous reasons why I left that game.

Morning peeps :)
 
Finally got to see (and finish on Vet) Skullcano also got through Vet KV.  Only have Vet SSM to go :D.  Mordechai's a scurvy one all right.  (No no, jump over the little beam!).  On a looks basis in order I like SSM > SC >>> STL > KV.  I think SSM wins because of its over saturated color palette but I'm also a fan of the Torine.  Whatevs, the mechanics are fun ;).  Now that I've seen these places I can go read the various guides and actually get a sense for what they're talking about.
 
I prefer DPS.  Anybody can just get by but being good at it takes some work.  I also seem to have this uncanny knack for choosing the skill classes :huh:.  Gimmie a priority list and skill synergy and I'm happy.  I've also liked tanking in TOR.  Didn't last long enough in WoW to give it a shot but I'm thinking about getting my stalker's tank gear runed out.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
(No no, jump over the little beam!).
----
			
Man Mordechai, we had some shitty luck on that four armed freak last night.
 
The good news is that I finally got a legitimate kill in that I didn't die early and had the rest of the group carry me.  Actually lived through the whole thing on vet.	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
That was a funny moment when you said you couldn't make it over the beam and I realized I'd neglected to mention that you can only jump over the small beams. #FightDetailsFail
 
Mordachi is the best example in this game how cheesing a mechanic (which people did for months) robs people of a lot of fun. My wife says it's her favorite boss and she's always excited when she manages to survive the entire fight :)
 
As far as looks go, I really like STL because it *feels* like a dungeon. Something about D&D style dungeon crawling that appeals to me. My wife likes SC the best though, because it feels more open than most dungeons and it has some distinctive, interesting looks.
----
			
I'm still trying to stay alive through the regular Mordechai fight, I don't think I will make it on Vet. LOL
 
I need a lot of practice on the dungeons. It's been way too long since I have done them. SSM was fun the other night, but still kicked my butt on the jumping part. I wish we had something like that, that was not in a dungeon, that I could practice on.

----
			
Some hints if you guys want them:
For Mordachi:
The closer you are to the middle of the room, the less sprinting you have to do
You can jump over the pools
When you have both beams up before the start moving, starting a little away from the center will give you more time to react
Before the beams start moving, identify and face the small beam. That way you have point of reference- if it comes to you, go that direction. If the other way, turn around!
If you have to get hit, get hit by the small beam because the DOT can be cleansed
Bring a cleanse if you have one.
If you are a healer, only cleanse people if it's easy. Survival is more important than saving others.
For Trogun:
In the first disc phase, I always run to the entrance and then move the camera in and right behind my character so I'm looking forward at the room (I zoom in because of that friggen red wall that is behind you, which obscures the discs)
Small movements works best- look ahead of your character and anticipate where the discs are going to be, then move that direction in small steps. Don't dodge unless you have to (which you may)
In the second disc phase, the discs never come out in the same direction twice, so if you move behind a disc you will always be safe from the next disc.
 
Hope some of those ideas help.

			Some of those fights really annoy me as a healer just because there's nothing you can really do to keep people from dying (drokk/mordecai). Even t8 mending probes won't save someone who stands in the laser.

Hello...popping in, I used to visit this thread all the time.  I just resubbed to the game.  I'm really enjoying all the updates they made though now I have to relearn it.  Good thing my characters never got too far.
 
To answer the question, I prefer to heal in every MMO I play, and I play plenty.  Healer in SWTOR, templar in ESO, cleric in Neverwinter, esper and medic in WS, dragonfly in Firefall.
 
There's something about being in the world and just throwing a random heal at someone that needs it.  I think the healer has to know as much as the tank does when it comes to dungeons and I like that.
 
Edit:  Oops, forgot I have a slinger too :)

Just let me know next time I'm on.  We'll throw a vet dungeon together.  All I need for attunement is KV.

All you healers ought to queue for some group content! You'd get an instant pop.
 
In WildStar news I'll be continuing my rep grind on Normal Moo, maybe running a vet adventure, trying to find somebody from Blazing Saddles who wants to let me hang out with them.
 
I'm also leveling a Spellslinger, Magic Moo, for the express purpose of healing since it seems to be in such high demand. This is where I really wish we had faction changes because I'd switch my Lv 50 Chua Esper over in a heartbeat.
 
As for healers, I'm still not sure how I feel about Spellslinger. I'm only level 10 and contemplating rerolling Magic Moo as a Medic, I know I enjoy playing that one. Anybody have words of advice as to which would be a "more funner" healer at cap?

I need all four vet dungeons still. Yeah, I'm slacking on it. <_<
 
Seriously, I just want to get them done with and learn them in the process. But need a group that is willing to put up with me dieing all the time.

The blades against the wall or when they shoot out from him in Phase 3?  Against the wall I remember (of course after I died) that if you zoom all the way out and rotate the camera so it's looking along the wall you can see the blade pattern pretty easy.  I forget how my old guild did the Phase3 version or if they were even present in normal. :lol:

good morning...hope you're all well and good. Somer ecent events  I haven't been able to touch wildstar for most if not the entire week sadly and just kinda roamed the forums a bit...
 
Honestly my favourite role has been support role like bards, but when those aren't available I go tank and healer. I could play DPS if it was needed, but I personally couldn't do it and enjoy it. I geuss I inherently like to help and protect people and those roles just fit me . The first question I always ask is "which class is better at helping other people?!" and it was kind of easier in other games like rift and wow, but not so much here in Wildstar. I had pretty much free reign to pick whatever I wanted and I could be either be a tank or a healer. 
 
Even atually I settled on warrior tank and dabble with stalker tank. I'm sitll undecided on which healer I like most, but I'm leaning toward esper and slinger.
 
I do wish there was more of a bard class or a class where I could be tank and healer(heavy metal bard anyone!?), but this is fine with me...	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Medics are fun, but range limited and relegated to tank healing in later progression. Good spellslingers are in very high demand because smart heals/raid heals/most output.

As a warrior tank, I LOVE Medic healers.  There just aren't enough of them.

I was just giggling that the class called MEDIC was underrepresented in the realm of HEALERS.
 
Like, in our world, Medic and Healer are sort of, you know, the same kind of thing. Only in Wildstar do Medics cause more injuries than they heal.

Well, to be fair, medics are usually standing in the line of fire with me, so to heal as a medic, you've got to also dodge the red while you heal. There aren't many healers who see the insanity that other healing classes see now and think, "You know what, this is a bit boring, I want to stand nearer that cleave the tank is eating."

			Thanks for the responses. I enjoyed Esper healing mostly because of the animations, I mean who doesn't love shooting fancy lanterns into the air? Can't help but be happy when that happens.	
----
			I prefer healing over the other two. I have enjoyed healing through the content that I've done so far, but I'm getting to the point where I need to make a decision on what class to actually main. I have 1 of each of the healers. I dont really enjoy the Esper very much, even though it's my first and only 50 (so far). Not sure what it is about it, but I cant seem to get into it. I'm enjoying the Medic and Spellslinger right now and I want to settle with one of those, but I dont know which one yet. I'm almost scared of the Medic because of the range limitations...  :mellow: I want to come to a decision on one of them and stick with it, but darn is it hard...

			All of them is a good decision. I'd pick all of them. *nod*

I LOVE to heal, I've done it since EQ1 days, tho my first love is Enchanter type of characters (this game doesn't have one in the same vein as EQ1's).  I'm a support girl through and through. I have not played a tank in any game since pally's in EQ1 (that was a great class). I had them in EQ2 but I never tanked on them, just soloed.
 
That being said, I can play a mean dps. I mained a couple of dps roles in EQ2 (I played for nearly 10 years so changed mains more than a few times). Right now, my esper helps me fill my desire for all my likes. She's the closest thing to an enchanter type of character, and I am quite comfortable in both DPS and healing roles. I prefer healing only in PVP so I've focused on that, but in PVE I can do both heals and dps, tho I heal in raids.
 
It's funny because I changed from medic heals to esper heals, in no small part due to the animations. I like the esper ones so much better.	
----
			I've always loved support roles far more then DPS.  Saddly, i have a lot easier time dodging and interrupting when im healing on my Slinger then i do dps.  Dpsing i tend to zone out to much and tunnel vision which leaves me being bored.  Or ill get focused to much on doing my abilities correctly and stop watching whats going on around me.  Over the last year or two i switched to being more of a healer then a tank, though i do love tanking(Main characters is Healsinger and Tank Engi). 	
----
			I easily get more bored healing than DPS. But I think that's because a lot of the pug tanks these days are overgeared.

If only that was my case.  I'm in a mix of 55 and 58 blues, and 55 and a few 61 purples.  It'd probably be easier to run Stormtalon if I could eat more damage, but sometimes it takes my defense grid and innate to stay standing during the tracking lightning telegraphs until the healer can get back on me.  That and Bosun are nightmare fights for formation learning.

Healing tends to get real boring in general in any game when your group outgears the content. Meanwhile DPS is always engaging and as a tank you can at least grab more packs and speed up the pace. Heals? Zzzzzzz......
----
			
Tanking in WS is still fun even when you're a little OP, cause you just pull more stuff and freak out the healers :D
 
If I have a decent healer with me, I always grab the two bird packs after Bladewind in one pull- just because it's way more exciting! I usually have to pop my innate and chain stun, but then that's what makes it interesting . . .	
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yeah I remember in WoW when heroics dropped in Cataclysm and in Warlords of Draenor people were literally losing their minds because of how difficult it was to heal through all of the damage and mechanics. How they were shaking with stress and couldn't play anymore. So many tears creating a river of drama... Then people stopped crying and actually got geared up and it turned into complaints that healing was too strong and it wasn't fun because they could just out heal the mechanics.
 
Same for tanking in both xpacs.

			Killed the dye raidboss today and got some more blackhole dye. Vunne's mordesh has one, and I paid for one for her draken. My mechari has had it for months, so I'm not really sure who gets this one. I would like to send it to her Aurin, but we don't have account banks, or cross faction account mail

This kind of makes me want to go on a tangent but I won't.  Nothing wrong with what you said btw.
 
It just seems like the slightest shriek of outrage and distress is enough for any business to backtrack on their plans that might actually make things better in the long run.  Sometimes you have to listen to customers, but other times you have to ignore them.  They may not even be your customers, even though they may appear to be.

{| class="blockquote"
Hey now, I don't pull multiple packs!  I pride myself on my awareness.
 
But if someone else pulls them, believe me, I'll be tanking them, and I'll be moving in crazy and unpredictable ways while I do it.

In terms of what I do in the game to me it goes DPS>Tanking>Healing. I have been DPSing in the DS and let me tell you, it is a doozy there sometimes. Not only do you have to put out your absolute best dps, but you have to be dodging hella red while you do it. Tanking is pretty fun, but I only get to tank dungeons, where I am probably so overgeared that it isn't hard or fun to keep myself up.
 
Healing is only fun if I am healing 4 DPS in a dungeon. Otherwise it is just boring. Raids could be different, but when I was raiding in GA on my healer, it felt pretty simplistic overall.

That's why I tell my wife what an excellent healer she is.  She sometimes has to track me when someone accidentally grabs a pack they weren't supposed to pull.  I can be very mobile.

Usually, I like using forgeUIs nameplate options so that I can pretty easily see everyones health at the same time. I like it better than basic nameplates.

Hey now, I don't pull multiple packs!  I pride myself on my awareness.
 
But if someone else pulls them, believe me, I'll be tanking them, and I'll be moving in crazy and unpredictable ways while I do it.

I've nearly always been a tank and healer, and would say that BC WoW was the pinnacle of tanking for me. I enjoyed tanking in Wildstar— more than in FFAAR and RIFT— but I dislike the shift in games to pulling fairly weak packs of mobs at once rather than managing distinct challenges from a smaller, more defined group. Heroic BC made trash pulls a thrill and in some cases more entertaining than the bosses themselves. :P
 
For heals I'm more ambivalent. I really like the free-form skillshot healing in this game, the challenge is high, and CD management is reasonable. However, tab-target UI healing, especially in WoW , feels like a better balance of skill and control to me. 'Specially in PVP.
