THINKING WAY TOO HARD ABOUT A COMBAT TRIANGLE GAME. GODDAMNIT.

Cool episodes

I also recommend buffing yourself in a different order when you revive: first go with Flaring Intellect, then Neddra's MIght, then Fire Armor and finally Glyphs. The reason is that debuff abilities (like purges and Degeneration work with a 'first in-first out' mechanic, in other words, whatever you buffed yourself first will be the buff that is taken away first.

If you get purged, you want your least important buffs to be stripped away before your more powerful ones.

@1971ojoalparche1971 Hey thanks, I never even thought about that. Me and my PvE mindset.

[1971ojoalparche1971]

Probably the reason you were having trouble killing them is because you move too much and because you're not using your range to your advantage.

With this spec you have great kiting survivability, but if you're not being focused you want to stay calm and cast from a distance. That means do not wait for opportunity and Inferno: those are your finishers, and don't bring attention to yourself by going into melee range.

Even lower ranks can own with this spec.

im in this video :D well oiled machine indeed

A couple of things:

1) backpedaling = supermegabad in PvP.

2) your key bindings are very difficult for quick access.

I recommend you check out Taugrim's Strafing and Key Binding guide!

[bigdaveischeap]

@nexalacer Yeah the backpedaling is just something I have never been able to break myself from.

I say "my number 1" but I don't have that bound to 1 except for cosmetic purposes (so that on the screen it shows '1'). I have most of my actions bound to mouse keys and I use shift to modify those. I also use F, E, and R on the keyboard (my FPS roots are showing). I never press 1-0 keys to actually cast spells.

Thanks for the good advice much appreciated.

[nexalacer]

@bigdaveischeap The best advice I've gotten for stopping the backpedaling is to unbind your "back" key. If you *must* have it, bind it somewhere completely inconvenient, so that you only use it when absolutely necessary.

As for the other key binds, if the mouse thing works for you, go for it. I guess from watching your screen, it's hard to know what you're doing with your hands, but perhaps adding more hot bars might increase your awareness of the abilities you mentioned not using. Great vids!

Rift was pretty great just didn't have the wide variety of things to do that a mature game like WOW had. If it survives and grows I would probably come back since the graphics kicks other games asses' the window and the spec system was awesome. Going to keep watching since I love warfronts and that's how i leveled 3 characters but back to WOW I go to for now.

[glenntopher]

show your gear next episode please :)

[Snomoska]

Funny how the ad before the original video is the new WoW ad...

[halofan6091]

rift is awesome who ever says its dead its not.. go play it ur self..

[xXRiTaLiNx]

@halofan6091

I have played it myself, many times i have even gone back and tried to give it another go twice.... but TNH it was just not fun... the graphics were pretty awesome,but overall it just wasn't fun..

[0penYourEyes]

rift is dead... give it up... no one cares

[erugethewize]

@0penYourEyes the only time of the day it's dead is around 2am -10am :)

[hfcgngf]

@0penYourEyes no it is not.. there is a fairly good playerbase still. dont know how long it will remain tho

[phantomoto2]

@0penYourEyes though i see tons of people around town and very fast queues. if your looking at the shard population you probably didn't know they increased the populations for shards so low is medium as before and medium is high and high is what full used to be. so all shards have medium to high populations and the European side has alot more than us. Rift is not dead and is far from being it. Alot of people are coming back, i am seeing the monthly achievements going around alot

[girininjoo]

@0penYourEyes I'm sorry, but this is a troll comment. Get your anger towards the world in general elsewhere, dude.
