The name of the link is right but the link itself is wrong. :D

Yes, That spam in the chat log would drive me crazy!! I can only hope that in the future, some sort of chat filter will be introduced. Maybe sooner than expected so testers can see wth is goin' on.

well.. conjurers are healers and they have full access to nukes before they even get cure.. so it would seem the route for them to take would be to use those and other offensive abilities at their disposal.

Player1: Heal me, I'm dying!
Player2: Hell no, I need the skill points.

[Hyan]

I would assume it would be more beneficial for the healer to cure the player than let him die.

That would most likely happen only after all of player 1's self-healing skills were down too.

Not sure, if this has been posted elsewhere, and the fact that I'm too lazy to check, but I was trollin the intrawebs and found this tidbit pertaining to BR's. Maybe it can help a bit during your next BR experimentation.

"When fighting a powerful opponent with your party, you can use a system called “battle regimen” to link your attacks with the attacks of other members in your party. This has a chance to add special effects. Here’s how it works:
Decide the order of attacks by discussing it with your party
• When your turn in the regimen comes, press the button next to the action menu to change to regimen mode, and select your move.
• When all members have entered their moves, someone presses the button to activate the regimen.
• Depending on the actions and order selected, effects may be added.

Moves in battle regimens do not need any special properties. For example, a gladiator’s slashing attack and a marauder’s axe attack gave the enemy a “physical defense down” status effect. The same effect was produced when the marauder changed to pugilist and used a regular punching attack. The effect changes depending on the order and the skills used...."

It kinda seems as tho you have to select BR mode then perform some sort of attack/ability against the enemy. Kinda like performing skillchains in FFXI with the exception of going into BR mode in FFXIV.

Another note, maybe when activating BR mode, a new window of acceptable abilities/commands pop up to participate in a BR. Not sure, just speculating....

[Gokulo]

Didn't it say in some manual that the party leader has to set-up the BR beforehand?

lol that GLD sure was kickin' some DoDo Ass! It's so funny when mobs run away. They're like "fk this dude, im outz" *runs away*

I tried out a BR with a conjurer last night, and again, due to battle spam was really unable to tell if it worked, but I'll share the experience. We had talked about doing it beforehand, so I changed to battle regimen mode, and so did he. When in battle regimen mode I went over to my action bar and selected, I believe it was Skewer, and waited a few seconds, assuming he was selecting Aero. The first cue I had that he selected Aero was that over the target the word Skewer appeared with a bar that started to tick down. I selected and performed Skewer, and then Aero appeared above the target, again with a bar. My partner used aero, and I couldn't tell what the text said but I saw some kind of impact force looking effect after his Aero went off. He said he saw Skewer appear as well, so it seems that every member of the party can see the skill and if available to them, they can use it to participate in the BR. We just assumed the BR was complete, the mob died after that, it was a weak throwaway mob for the cedar point rat quest.

Definitely going to be teaming up with him again next time now that we're both level 10, going to try and head out to somewhere more secluded.

Not sure if i missed this but, is there an option to mark mobs once you're in a party?

Not that I know of or heard of.

Would be easy to implement now that mobs show status icons next to the names.

reupped whatever was under 200mb to mediafire

Ending is sad, I was useless since I canceled the leve by accident (No confirm screen >.>)

Note the Marauder using a potion on him and the AOE Stoneskin outside of party.
There's a small exploit for a few Guildleves near Aetherite, you can drag the mobs to the crystal for unlimited HP~ Won't be seeing that in Retail.

[HolyDragoon]

Just want to extend my thanks for everything people have done on these boards. Figure I should stop lurking and join in conversation.

I really hope they fix this soon, it is causing a lot of lag around the aetherites.
