Alexander Discussion, Round 2: Wait is this the easy mode thread?

Oh hey look, it's Khana from gw.

Oh look someone no one cares about and a reference no one gets. Fun.

[Kipling]

I'd wager a decent number of people here use guildwork and understood the reference, actually. But carry on with your edgyness.

[Sigmakan]

1% A3S wipe ._.

[Elcura]

But carry on with your edgyness.

I'll do just that.

[Kipling]

1% A3S wipe ._.

I think at this point having multiple 1% wipes is one of the shitty bonding points of doing A3S progression. Our last wipe before our kill was one where the boss had ~800 HP left according to ACT. Literally heartbreaking.

I'll do just that.

I know you will, that's why I can always count on you. =)

Any casters in here have a face target macro? Can you add several lines to hit it once during a cast so it covers the whole cast? Hitting adds on the run is really annoying.

[Kipling]

I use my mouse's software to do it (Razer Synapse). I use a Naga and bind one of the middle mouse buttons near the scroll wheel (that I don't use for anything else) to spam F every 0.5 seconds. I make it so the button toggles the spam on or off. When I fight adds or a target I'm scared will move, I toggle it on for a bit.

[Neon_Sea]

Hmm interesting, I was just looking at Naga's today too. Maybe I'll pull the trigger.

Facetarget is a toggle, use it once and you'll track your current target until you use it again or move.

[Neon_Sea]

I didn't know that but after some testing it still doesn't do what I want unless I mash it.

[lilbubbles]

ahk script

SetTimer Click, 5

F8::Toggle := !Toggle

Click:
    If (!Toggle)
        Return
    Click x2 
return

Bind facetarget to mouse 5, hit f8 to toggle. Toggle it off before you alt-tab, or weird things will happen lol.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't spamming F just turn swivel\seeking on and off? Once seeking is on, no amount of spamming F will fix certain interrupts, it's a matter of server/client lag. It just feels better to spam it, just like mashing a GCD.

Edit: beaten because I sat on the post on my phone for an hour before entering it.

Any monk in here that could give me a BIS for As4 and a preferred progression set for As3. I have Eso sitting around that I was going to use on another job but I'm not sure if I could use the pieces for longer than need be.

I'm currently at ilvl 203, but I cant use the feet for As3 due to accuracy problems so I moved around gear to 202 and have this:
Current accuracy gear
If I bought more Eso to up my str + secondary weights I could get this(its roughly 9-10 stat points in weight better):
Possible accuracy set
The only concern is I dont know how much the eso legs/feet would last me, someone did have a nice 210 gear set that they put together with them in it and solid strong stat weights:
642 Accuracy set
Ive looked up the accuracy for both turns and different values were giving in all the charts that I have seen from reddit. So im curious what the preferred accuracy is for monks and particularly any set that can top the stat weights from that last set I posted with the proper accuracy for as4. I just want to prepare in advance and also not waste any eso if I don't have to.......before wasting it on glamour pieces!

Thanks in advance~

It didn't feel like Khana tho cuz he didn't stick a JP dick in his mouth

[Elcura]

When has my fan-club ever made sense or had anything smart to say?

This. Spamming it prevents all interruptions if hit fast enough. Simply toggling it does not.

[Niiro]

No amount of button mashing is going to make latency disappear.

If a mob is passing by you too closely, your cast will be interrupted.

The only way around this is to play with standard controls and manually face your character slightly ahead of where the mob is going.

[Neon_Sea]

That is not my experience, it will not always interrupt my cast because if I hit the face target the moment my cast resolves it goes off. I try this every time I do A1 because df tanks love pulling the boss south and wasting 10 seconds for no apparent reason.

[Kipling]

^ This is what the Facetarget macro spam does.

[TheDirtyHobo]

Let's try it this way.
