One does not simply angon his way into Mordor.

I finally got a screenshot of me throwing my Thalassocrat! Well worth the hour spent in a shitty 73~75 party with no brd/cor on Mamools. :D
No Boromir photoshop here sadly, MS paint is where it ends for me with image editing. And I'd probably suck at using photoshop if I had it.


Nothing exciting has been going on, so I've been meriting alot lately. This was one of the better parties:


5x DRG, 1 BRD. We got chain #260 before disbanding. We were supposed to go DRG/mage x3 and then 2 DRG/ddsub, but the leader didn't like that for some reason and changed to /whm half way through (not that it damaged the chain). I was /sam, probably because I didn't have a Saurian helm or relic hat. :|

For what it's worth, I parsed that party (or at least part of it) I kept restarting it when people went afk for a long time/changed subs so it was a little fairer. But then again I was the only one with a DD sub so it wasn't fair at all. Oh well!


Really it's better used as a comparison between the drg/mages. Nothing surprising there considering gear/drakesbane access, how quickly they each engaged, etc. My wyvern did more damage (ignoring my breath damage, because they were defensive) as well, thanks to empathy + brd songs. I wasn't checking if any of them were doing the same thing.

Merit adjustments:
Angon - Lv.3
Deep Breathing - Lv.2
Jump/High Jump - Lv.2 (if I didn't mention these already...)

Thinking of finishing on Angon - 3, DB - 5, Empathy - 2.
One minute Angons should be enough to keep it up on extended fights (that I'll be on RDM for anyway) for 1/3rd of the time. Anything else I do should die within 1 minute and if not, I'll be using Spirit Surge & Jump on it to extend the duration.
Deep Breathing lv.5 would give me 5 min recasts, which increases the chances that I'll restore a substantial amount of HP to a Puk after weaponskilling on it.


I'm not sure if this restored my Wyvern's HP, or is just a typo and is actually restoring the Puk's HP. It could be that my WS killed it, and then the game registered the wind breath as restoring HP so redirected it on the wyvern? :S
Who knows? Who cares? Will I get my DRG merits complete any time soon?

Probably not.
