Where do we stand with damage compared to other classes.Or are we a utility class?  My main has been a beastlord on luclin for 5 years. All aa's maxed out. I currently run a 4 box and debating- which one of the 4 I box is going to get the next expansion. Setup (beast,necro,cleric, and a new bard)

I read what you wrote, but the bigger question would be which one of the four toons would fare the best in the new expansion.  The next question is do you plan to group, molo, or solo through the new expansion?

Post by: Squirrely on November 15, 2016, 04:20:23 AM
That is a great question Zorth- If I chose the
Necro= decision to solo (never made sense-or I would not have formed a team)
Cleric= started so I would bring value to raid and get instance grp invite on condition , I could bring one more
Beastlord= liked the class however, it is a group dependent class. I have found it is possible to solo Blues but the recharge time does not justify soloing
Bard=great addition but it is only a character still do the pulling with beast

Now the answer, other than wanting to see and play in the new expansion for raiding. Either the Beastlord or Cleric.

Thank you - as a newcomer to the class this sort of breakdown is incredibly useful. That gives me some areas to focus on, cheers.

Since this is a beastlord site, lets focus on that statement.  Beastlords are welcomed in groups and on raids.  Beastlords are not as solo friendly as necros, but with the recent changes to pet aggro, beasts can take down higher level mobs with some careful planning.

I disagree Zorthaz. Beastlord is a solo class that can hop into groups as well. I do it all the time to include killing namers all by myself.

Some of those discs you are mixing up don't really maximize DPS. I have my old level 100 write-up, just pop in the new discs with similar ones to create new combos. First: Make sure pet is wearing Sekmoset's Aggresion and taunt is off for DPS pet.

Burn - Level 100, RoF 

Always keep Bestial Evulsing disc going. And be sure to use Growl of the Snow Leopard unless Savage Rage is running.   

Main Burn Hotkey   
/pause 2, /alt activate 443 ...................***Bestial Bloodrage 
/pause 2, /alt activate 1432 ..................***Third Spire 
/pause 2, /disc Ruaabri's Fury Rk. iii 
/pause 2, /alt activate 245 ...................*** Bestial Alignment 
/alt activate 241 .....................*** Bloodlust   

Hit Frenzied Swipes.   

Immediately as Ruaabri's Fury fades....click Spirit of Frenzy.
Immediately as Bestial Alignment fades....click Savage Rage.   
After Savage Rage ends, use Group Bestial Alignment.   

Note: Third Spire does not stack with Bard Symphony of Battle. You should click off SoB, or use First or Second Spire instead. 

Note: The above burn is what I use for longer encounters, 3 minutes or more. On a shorter fight, I use Savage Rage and Bestial Alignment together. I never use Frenzy with Fury because the both add the Hundred Hands effect. I run those back to back, never together.     

Spells    I always use the 5 top nukes. I have them bound to the same key and I never stop spamming it. Ever.

The key to short fight burns are stacking 2 stackable damage increasing discs together and find a mroe creative way to use the OneHundredHands effects. ex. I use Bloodlust and Spirit Frenzy together for one of my group burns, Ale Ale's Vindication with Frenzied Swipes, etc.

Soloing takes a little more finesse in spell lineup, but only a couple changes really. Make sure the pet is weraing the Sekmoset's Protection buff to begin with and he is taunting. Memorize the pet HoT and Promised Rejuv, as well as Auspice of Eternity, Aegis of Jupac, and Companions Aegis AA... You are the healer now. You can still spam some nukes and burns on mobs with the pet. All the Spell Aegis's stack, except the AA one takes over one of the ones listed above, so you can reacast once you hear your audio trigger go off and protect your pet from hits longer. If you want more DPS while playing solo, add the wizard merc.

Mobs don't last long against these setups.

Give it a try and see what you come up with.

I didn't say beastlords were not a solo class.  I said beastlords can't solo as well as necros.  The upside is beastlords are very group friendly.  These days I use GINA to orchestrate my burns. Right now I use BA + SF + Bloodlust + Ale's Vindication out of the gate.  This may change as EoK weapons gak aggro really fast.  When BA fades I hit SR.  When SF fades I hit RF.  When SR fades I hit Ferocious. When Ferocious fades I hit GBA.

If I have to tank I hit my hot key to swap in weapons so I have quad lifetaps running.  With the EoK weapons this is usually about 15-20 seconds after I start the burn. If it is a hard hitting mob, I may activate protective spirit.

The order in which I hit discs and AA abilities is really dependent on the group makeup and the situation.  If it is a ranged fight and I have a bunch of rangers in my group, the order above goes out the window.
