[Golladan]

When I bard I notice the +5% damage reduction one get knocked down, the attack power one, and the crit one all seem to fall off from my group mates' actions.

I'm not exactly sure what is causing them to fall off before the typical 30 seconds. All I know is something happens and I my motifs get out of order.

Warlord's Call to Battle gives the raid the same attack power/spell power as the Bard's Motif, while also granting them(the warlord) an additional 42 attack power. This would overwrite your own motif of bravery. Also, their Call to Entrench gives the raid the same damage reduction, while giving the warlord an extra 3%. Would also override your motif of tenacity.

Bladedancer's Dauntless Strike would replace the crit one.

Just let them know that they're depriving the whole raid from a 5% increase to all attributes by using those skills if you have 5 points in Resonance.

I do bard sometimes in raid and did took note of motif of bravery and tenacity beeing drop by the war.

As long as you refresh them in time to get Resonance up all the time there is no need to really bothers in keeping both up too.

Read this little post concerning buffs and debuffs to see what's need to be keep on and which one should be use in raid.

Wait.....where is the section for effective forum qqing? Was looking forward to tips on how to qq enough in other class forums to get them nerfed.

For that matter where its your trolling tips section? what about creepy sig section?
These are things rogues NEED to know to survive!

I can understand why you are upset, but send the guy a message, don't post on his guide.
Sure he pisses you off, but this is to help new Rogues, not sort out personal problems.

Retaliation just leads to suspensions, trust me I had to go through three of them before I got the idea.

Or just watch buffs/use nkrebuff.

I use a mixture of Karuulalert and nkrebuff.
They are both amazing addons

I actually just switched back to NKrebuff from using Karuul. I found that in HK boss fights for some reason it's timers would be off, by like 2-4 seconds sometimes. Impale was the worst offender, sometimes the Impale icon would like up as "counting down" to refresh, like 4 seconds after i refreshed it. So i am back to NKrebuff, and won't be using Karuul again.

O gay, never had that issue. I just like how customizable Karuul is. I use NK for all my buffs, and I use Karuul for enemy buffs, and debuffs I am concerned about just because sometimes I dont want the huge line nk can give going across my screen. I like to be able to position them where I want, and have some bigger than others. I am going to be uploading my UI to riftui soon, just want to do some more tweaking, and make my own auras for archimedes in photoshop.

I also use a combination of myui, and karuul alert for combo points. myui I put at the bottom of my screen and when it reaches 5 points I have a big red cross swords come up on my screen that is see through.

Another thing that is cool is you can group all silences into one warning, all stuns into another, and so on and just have an over all warning.
Mine is a "stun" "silenced" "root" that comes up on top of my guy when I am cc'd

I also love book of the fallen but that is goin way off topic haha

I've never had this issue either. I would guess that you did not specify it to check for your impale and instead it was just checking all impales on the target.

I'm still trying to find a good way to track heat retention stacks in NB build. The two different buffs with same name really mess it up.

[Ellowen]

So I was wondering, is it viable to do something with Nightblade with the ports? I really enjoy the ports but the nightblade seems to offer more versatility with fights where you may need a tad bit of ranged dmg when you are running around or something, as well as the better AOE?

At first run through playing with the builder, this is what I came up with, just a little unsure if the actual idea would work.

This happens to me sometimes with Nkrebuff too. Sometimes Impale will start counting down when it has been off the target for a couple seconds.
