Wildstar: If you want to know about Wildstar....

Yea.. i did not know about those. nice!.. BUt i have been using macros and have my team working well.. they assist.. face and move to targets ect.. good stuff

No I don't think it really helps having the in game shortcuts as I already setup a macro as you said. Also set up an interact key through ISBoxer so that followers assist the main on an F key press and then press F - that makes questing much easier.

Next is a round robin on the knock downs and interrupts, pretty standard stuff.

I need to get better at avoiding telegraphs on the followers though...

The atmosphere is really growing on me. They have put so much time in to fleshing out the world, I spend a lot of time just wandering around looking at things

Well my play testing is over and back to work

I gotta say that two boxing at least looks very easy for this game. I set up hotkeys to dodge the following character sideways which really helped with the telegraphs and along with the auto-face target setting things were good.

Big big problem is though that I often lose the mouse in combat, it is so small and there is so much colour going on in a fight that the mouse just blends in.

How did you make out Lyonheart?

[Lyonheart]

I played spellslingers and espers.. i like them both. I wanted to try them to help me figure out what kind of team i will make ( healers ).. i might end up with a mixed group.. but Tank and 4 SSs or Espers might work good. At 15 SS get an ability that does dos to mobs in the telegraph and heals players in it.. so one button to do both is great.. in theory. I will level them more next time.

Did you find the Spellslingers more positional based compared to Espers?
I read that somewhere. The Esper as a class didn't really grab me and I would prefer Spellslinger I think.

I really enjoyed the Engineer I tried, I liked having the bot that could hold agro for a few seconds. Engineers just felt a bit different from the usual MMORPG classes.

Next I'll try a melee tank and Medic healer.

Espers are supposedly the closest thing to a priest (so a lot of people who like traditional healers try them) but then they have a very slow combo point building move.

To me combo points and casters are a terrible clunky combination.

Fortunately rapidfire shooting or a slow aimed shot is more my style so my first toon at launch is going to be a spellslinger.

Im thinking Spellslingers might be great for boxing as well.. at level 15 they get a spell that does damage to enemies in the telegraph and heals allies in it. So it might work out to be a great boxer friendly healing/dps class. I Believe that Espers are the only class with "targeted heals" though
