Avesta is back! (Byakko solo)

[Sepukku]

Has he always cut his videos? It looks like he cut things around 32:30-32:50 after casting Aquaviel. He suddenly appears elsewhere wearing Crimson Scale Mail.

[rog]

As far as i'm aware, he's never released a full uncut video, except ODS, which was too short to cut.

Why should a rdm remove composure again?

Oh you. Next thing you'll be asking why an RDM needs a haste set.

[Thorny]

Inb4 15-page topic consisting of fruitless argument and flaming between the "Avesta is the best soloist evar" and the "he's good, and props to him for being the first to try stuff, but he's no more skilled than most competent soloists" camps, with at least 25% of the posts being along the lines of "but he flicks through his macros SO fast, bet you can't do that, bitches".

don't forget the cheating with spellcast or windower macros part

[rog]

Omg, what could possibly be worse than windower macros!?

[Nevex]

Did Avesta rename his character because the server he ended up after the merge had his original name taken? lol

[Koyangi]

What I admire most about Avesta is he doesnt rely on crutches like spellcast and windower macros, if he can do it anyone can. I heard some EG LS won't invite you to their LS if you dont use spellcast

[Darkmagi]

Hope you are wooshing but I highly doubt he doesn't use windower macros.

[Squirrels]

No woosh at all, Avesta has never used windower macros.

[Darkmagi]

Not saying you're wrong, but what proof do you have? I know you can manage macros without Windower , but it just seems very unlikely that he wouldn't use any.

If you look closely in any of his vids, no one macro exceeds 6 gearswaps/recasts.

[Shenrien]

pretty impressive, was wondering when a byakko solo was going to come along after seeing him solo the other three gods.

[richardd]

damn, this guy is still around? good for him to do a task like that lol. wonder if hell hop on 14 and pwn face with soloing on there too lol

[Shenrien]

also people seem to forget these two macros.

/macro set
/macro book

placing either of those in your 6th line lets you expand beyond the limit of 20 macros per book without the need to change, altho its really easy to get lost in what book you are on.

[Seanr]

nice vid, funny to see the background go from night to day to night XD

[Demosthenes11]

need the haters in here quickly to say avesta sucks etc etc, they done this on their mule 5 years ago(yes i'm aware lv. 80 matters a huge amount)

the most impressive thing is that he appears to be doing it without windower macros/spellcast

why is doing things a more tedious way impressive?

[Khajit]

Why is doing a marathon impressive when you can just catch a bus?

[Demosthenes11]

yes, apt comparison

[rog]

Why is doing a marathon impressive when you can just catch a bus?

Because pressing 2-3 macros per spell is some kind of challenge?

[Nermie]

Why should a rdm remove composure again?

Wait a minute - people don't remove composure immediately after rebuffing?
