| Re: The macro of POWAR! I'll agree on most things except for the weapon skill. Back when I bothered to try to double MB with rdm, I had to start casting the first spell one or two seconds before the closing WS went off so that it would land at the beginning of the MB window and give me time to cast the second nuke.
More than half of the people I PTed with used their closing WS very predictably and reliably 3 seconds after the opener. Some others would wait a looong time after the opener to use their WS, or used a slew of ja buffs before the WS, which threw my timing off and caused the spell to land too early and miss the MB.
I've stopped bothering since then (too much trouble for not enough return), and now I just cast whenever I see the WS. That works for me, but I've got 4 levels of fast cast and I'm using tier 2 nukes still. For blms my level who are using tier 3 nukes or tier 2-3 -gas, some advance warning might be helpful.
So for that reason I support the use of "Using WS Viper Bite in 3 seconds! <call2>" type lines to help blms and overachieving rdms time their spells. It also makes things a little easier on you to set up your macro that way, since you can just mash the macro when the opener goes off instead of timing it in your head. |
