Request - Pull with clicky

[Jensen]

So with these new nice clickies from seb, would it be possible to add clicky items as means of pulling ??

 

[eqholic]

Did you try it and it didn't work ? In my admitedly limited experience you can put the name of an item wherever the name of a spells goes. You can pull with a bow afterall.

hmm no..

0.3sec recast for bard arms, in anycase theres lots of clickies now, staff or viral flux is nice also, would be nice to be able to use these

Its useless to use this in any of the last 3-4 current expansions =P, This is similar to why you shouldn't use Banestrike or damage shields. Mobs these days have over 5 mill + hp, lets calculate this shitastic dps. Those clickies from seb do about 2-4k dmg, but I'll be grafecul and say it does 5k dmg. Recast timers are 2minutes.


So 5k dmg divided by 180 secs = 27 dps on a 5 million + hp mob. Or calculate it another way, 5000 divided by 5000000 = 0.001 % dmg done, then you have to wait 2 mins to reuse it again. Unless you are absolutely certain that you can weave this between global gem cooldown timers without delaying the actual next gem you want to cast before the global cooldown timer is up, Banestrike and these shit dd clickes with long recast timers are worthless to cast in modern EQ.

But there will be those who argue "every little bit helps"


These dd clickies need to be around 350k dmg to be even worth casting at 2 min recast timers. Remember, items don't crit either.


You don't need to be retard because the developers are retards in developing EQ. ™

Some of them are useless yes, but I like the bard clicky, pally get an agro click with % gain, thats unique.. Theres also weapons with some interesting procs/ clicks, bard gets a nice grp ac/ spell resist click and a weap with yaulp proc, in the grand scheme of things nothing groundbreaking, but fun, I like it

Yah Jensen, I'm only referring to these dd ones, there were some really nice ones that debuff mobs or that bard one. It just makes me angry that the developers are this short sighted on how this compares to mob hp. I suppose it would be useful for pulling as a warrior or non-spell gem class if your pull discs are only 100 range cast. Warrior being a good example, if the range of the click is around 200 then it would be worth using, but then you have the 2 min recast timer to deal with too. Unless its taking you 2 minutes to kill a mob and pull another doesn't make sense either.

Pulling with Clicky items is being investigated.... and the functionality will be added after extensive testing...

But just to put my 2 cents in... pulling with DD clicky items is perfect just for the sake of saving mana for pulls if your a non melee (I don't wanna get that damn close to the mob on a pull) kinda class.

There are a ton of DD clicky/fast recast time items out there.....

A few things I would like to add to this discussion. As far as having a War main since I began EQ, I have almost always pulled by Bow & Arrow, Summoned Throwing items, or beating on a mob and pulling them to camp. I would also pull short distances with some Discs which are honestly way to short to really pull any kind of distance with as you well know. Until CotF.

Enter:
Staff of Viral Flux (EQR) -or- Staff of Viral Flux (Zam)
Insta Click / 200 Range / No Recast Timer despite what the description says

Obtained from: Achievement: Greater Answerer (Tower of Rot Progression) Mercenary + Partisan + Hero missions
It may be a lot to chew on for the pay off, I understand. But in the long run it's worth it imo:



For this I have a simple key I use:

Key: PULL | Icon ID: 7433
Line1: /pause 3, /useitem 23 9 # Bag 23 (1) / Slot 9 (10) - Staff of Viral Flux
Line2: /useitem 23 9 # Bag 23 (1) / Slot 9 (10) - Staff of Viral Flux

I have not gotten fancy with much else for my pulling with it.
Maybe someone might benefit from this info.

And now BACK to the original intent of this posting.. lol

Me and Ctaylor22 have been flushing out the issues in the code.. and have a working model for pulling with clicky items in the code.... we are testing as we speak... but it is working like a champ.

There are other updates we are making.... and fixes to improve issues....

Last item needs to be fixed before we are ready to release an official update of 10.0.4.

That final item is using clicky items for the debufall code.

We expect to have 10.0.4 pushed with the numerous updates.... live within the week.
