Guide - Sic's The Control Room Vid

[Sic]

As always, going post my vid's of doing the missions for the first time.
As always, these are supposed to be kind of going in without knowing much info - not intending to get all the achievements, or even necessarily having a clean run.
The "first time run throughs" I generally like to do without any LEMs/Events/whatnot, so this year, I wasn't using any. Obviously using some would make things much cleaner/easier.

I recorded the other vids this weekend, but we had several emergencies over the weekend so i didn't get to edit/upload.

This one was pretty straight forward just for the win - kill adds as they spawn, kill named.

a couple of tips after having done the missions a couple times each:
- if the zone has the mobs that give the the curse so you can get aureate's bane buff; get it before doing the mission (15m buff to healing/dmg)
- use autosize if you're having trouble seeing
- - this was pretty amazing the time(s) after doing these videos, really allows for better visibility and "staying out of shit"
- if you're using CWTN plugins
- - you might consider turning off "CheckPriorityTarget" so you don't re-target the named after an add dies.
- - /cwtna BurnAllNamed Off
- - consider turning on UseAoE

Awesome video and tips @Sic. 100% going to use autosize to help.

Is there a CheckPriorityTarget type function in KA? I’m always fighting with retargeting on my MA.

nah, that just allows you to pick your target and not be target locked.

cwtn plugins you're never target locked, but if checkprioritytarget is on, you'd target the priority if you don't otherwise have one (current mob dies / empty target)

Thanks @Psy. I remember this variable just didn’t remember exactly how it worked. Was thinking it allowed my assist team to switch. This will be super helpful.

Ahh, maybe I misunderstood his question..my bad, sorry.

I may have misunderstood it as well. I have never run KA on my driver or MA but the description seemed to indicate it would allow your MA (not crew) to switch targets and I thought that may have been the issue you were encountering.

ka will put you back on your target if you change targets, having the TargetSwitchingOn allows you to swap targets without it being snapped back.

turning off the CheckPriorityTarget with the cwtn plugins means that you won't automatically click on the priority target, you'd select the closest mob to you - so if you have a pile of adds on you and are a step or 2 away from the "boss", you're less likely to accidentally target the boss (ime, even hitting them briefly can kick you past add thresholds and cause all sorts of grief"

Holy hell @Sic. Are SK really that much better tanks than warriors?! My raid gear warrior couldn’t have gotten close to handling all of those mobs. Wild!
