I haven't looked at my RBF in agees, except to put it back in the range slot
(at least twice last night). Standing around between drake pulls and a
sphinx says BRILINNIA. We hadn't even pulled the silly things yet, heaven
knows how that thing aggroed on me, we weren't pull group or anything.
Second death was get a drake add when fighting a sphinx who kills the
clerics first then the melee's can't quite finish the drake off once the
sphinx drops without healers. I love Sky; hope we're done up there for now.
Anyways RBF's are off a rare spwan in Upper guk but I solo camped for mine
when I was low 50s. Just have invis up. I found that most trains in Upper
like to path thru the squire's spawn spot when going home.
I use macros alot but I mem the songs I use in the same spots all the time.
I do make macros for things like dragon raiding and just check the slot
numbers when I mem the resist songs to make sure I know what slots to put
the songs in. When not dragon raiding, I just park the hotkey on a back
page. Macros weave songs faster than I can manually and also help for
roboing purposes when I'm afk and Klaget has to run me. I have 2 song macros
and 3 song macros, macros that assist the chanter/cast Occlusion/ say which
mob is being malo'ed. I switch songs alot, just do it with an eye to what my
macros are setup as. When we have chanters for haste, I will use a different
battle song along with SoS and sometimes the 55 clarity/heal. The trick is
to stay flexible, and be what the group needs at the time they need it. I
will usually end up singing clarity full time right after the cleric
rebuffs, especially in HS where you have to keep a constant pull rate going.
When he gets back on top of the mana curve, I'll go back to twisting battle
songs and meleeing.
The Commune isn't a guild I'm familiar with. I'm currently in Excalibur but
I am usually adventuring with Venator Sapentia, as my RL fiance is also my
cleric (who is now in VS) and our computers are side by side.
