Question: Third Spire - stacking issues?

[Kaldrimarr_Stromm]

During raids, I usually get put into a melee group (rng/zerk/bard/mnk/shm/bst), so I hit third spire. However, it gets blocked 20% of the time. I have NO idea what blocks it.

Anybody know of any stacking issues with third spire?

[Dilgartownguard]

Never use third spire in any situation. Even if it hit the entire raid, it would still be outparsed by a single kick.

[Kaldrimarr_Stromm]

Oh? I've never actually done any parse for with/without.

So, first spire instead of third spire?

[Dilgartownguard]

Second spire will do the most damage, then first in situations where that would not be the case for some reason, such as pet is dead.

[Kaldrimarr_Stromm]

Thanks for the input. The only time the pet ever dies is when the monk in my group forgets to put his aura up :P.

Still half-learning beastlord class, thanks again ^_^

There was a pretty good parse somewhere on the boards here about the returns.  2nd was intially thought to be the worst, then 1st, then 3rd.  Then the parse came in & told us that 3rd really really sucks (like ferocity level of dps increase), 1st is a nice static increase, and 2nd, given only a few procs which usually happen, is best.

Camikazi did the thread, so you can look through his posts if interested in exact results.
