You called Deepfang a him and a her

[Ciderhelm]

@Gfdtink lol. I scripted this as a "she," then I thought about it and realized Tegenar just doesn't sound very feminine. I guess I missed a reference in the script and didn't catch it due to being tired last night. Sorry!

I'm going to get a lot of kids qqing over this comment but...

99% of these fights look incredibly boring. Imagine doing this when you're undergeared, it'd be rinse of repeat of abilities for aaages as you slowly dps him down

[Ciderhelm]

@Warlocksrule666 I could make them look epic, etc., but this is a guide video. The goal is to help groups in there. 5-mans from WoW are as pitifully boring to watch as these, but in both games the experience is much different when you're in the encounters and not overgeared for them as our group is.

I do not play Rift (or WoW anymore) but I still watch these videos and will remain subscribed. The music, Ciderhelms voice, the pretty graphics. They all make me feel so calm. Reminds me of when Ulduar was progression content and we couldnt down council, then I watched the tankspot video and got a few tips from it, we cleared it that night. Thanks so much for all of your work Ciderhelm and I wish you luck in the future.

Any tips for pulling and getting down the beginning ramp easier? I can do it but it's the only part of this instance that kind of gives me a hard time.

@Cooliojt12 DPS meters cause unnecessary inter-guild competition and selfish gameplay often leading to wipes and death.

[OutOfGas2012]

wht's the ambient music used in background? 

[bennettjamin]

yeah, I did figure it out, but thanks anyway :)

@bennettjamin I realise you posted this comment a month ago, but if you're still wondering the answer is to go to your menu - settings on on this page, bottom right hand side is the option to 'Show Ability Icons' that gives this effect.

[bennettjamin]

probably a noob question, but how are you getting those symbols next to every hit you deal/heal you receive.

Nice vid, cider. For all new to this stuff, like me - very helpful.

For the Bringhurst encounter - not sure if someone has mentioned it before - as a tank with voidknight abilities i was able to dispell 3 of his damage buff stacks with "spell sunder" i am pretty sure other classes can do that too.

Cheers and keep it coming ;)

@ScottySniper93 Sometimes if your group can't do enough Damage Per Second, you lose by mechanics. For example, the boss at the end of Runic Descent will hit the whole zone for 11 million damage if you don't kill his adds by the time he finishes casting a spell.

[ScottySniper93]

Sorry but, what's a DPS timer?

[connorkwl]

@AK47extra I suppose you've beaten every raid and dungeon on tier 2 settings and own a level 50 of each class then? The graphics are better than WoWs will ever be, thre's much more to do in game than WoW with the rifts, and who cares about addons? This game exceeds WoW in every way. You just seem like a fanboy of WoW, or someone who's never played RIFT.
