[Aion explained] Cleric #2 Extra - Digging into healingDraco2026-09-18 | [Aion explained] Cleric #2 Extra - Digging into healing[Fun] Fun times in AionDraco2023-10-14 | Took a little trip down nostalgia lane yesterday, and found those random old clips which I decided to splice together quickly... Gotta admit, I didn't remember at all having learnt skins. I also hadn't realised that "STFU" had become my new catchphrase... It was fun looking back on this altogether, really had a great time with these people in this game :)Sins discussions feat Itsmebisu #3 - Surprise Attack - Assassination - Beast FangDraco2017-08-20 | Part 3 of this assassin talk, today we discuss the Surprise attack and Assassination chains as well as the Ripcl... Beast Fang, the different ways to use them and what to watch out for!

Some points were a bit overlapping but explained in different views and situations which didn't make it too repetitive I hope, I tried to keep the conversation flow as fluid as possible... Let me know!
Check out Itsmebisu channel: youtube.com/user/DarknessNamedSins discussions feat Itsmebisu #1 - Rune Carve / Fang Strike / Swift EdgeDraco2017-08-07 | I wanted to do a deep analysis of assassin for a long time, and thanks to today's guest star Itsmebisu it was possible! I had a fun time discussing the role of assassins in group PvP, going over every skill and all its potential uses. That was some quality 1h59mn of recording! Too bad it didn't record my voice... So I'm now revoicing my own voice to feat Bisu's replies, that actually allows me to be more concise on each point, but will take some time for every part.
In this first part, I wanted to discuss the Rune Carve, Fang Strike and Swift Edge chains, which are probably the 3 most used chains, thanks to their usefulness and their very low CD.
Check out Itsmebisu channel: youtube.com/user/DarknessNamedRunatorium - [Loki] weed CorpDraco2017-07-29 | Quite fun runat, a lot of burst coming in but we managed pretty fine. We gave out a lot of kills and wasted CDs in the second fight, we should have given it up earlier and properly regroup. Besides that, we managed to coordinate on the burst quite nicely when needed usually!
Final result: https://puu.sh/wWqhN/d862a1c1a7.jpgRunatorium - ThorDraco2017-07-28 | That was quite an intense Runatorium, good burst and loads of CC (German tryhards :D), that was hard to come by. We tried different things, I think overall we got it working by the end, just some small details that make a fight go one way or another. We got quite triggered by the setup (and most probably by our own misplays) as you can hear, but I think we played rather good collectively. I used a few shocks on shields and misscalled some targets in the beginning, that actually annoyed me. I'm overall quite happy with the sorcerer interruptions that I could pull though

Great self rez miss click!Runatorium - ThorDraco2017-06-22 | Nice PvP against this team, as always! We had bard this time and not cleric, was tougher to recover from their CCs and they played it well in that regard. The SM fucked us up big time (surprisingly :x) coupled with ranger sleeps but we managed to do good overall. That deadly focus into sleep trap, loved it (y)
Dracooo - Bardwurst - Pattrice - Vallar - Memini - Chill vs Mrheisenberg - Danawhite - Seqz - Haten - Flurry - VhgzRunatorium - ThorDraco2017-06-17 | I suggest you watch Bardwurst PoV (bard: youtu.be/S2McoRicek0) or Pattrice (cleric: youtu.be/cYI1HOVQFr8), if you wanna see some skills used. I think I spent more time dead than alive in this runatorium... We did pretty good given our unusual setup. I thought we would lack dps to down targets but they had to be very offensive to keep pressure on us, that made up for it. The double cleric definitely helped in some ways - better heal when the cleric is focused or dead as well as easier rezzes. It's hard to keep leading when I'm more dead than alive, but memini stepped up great for it and we made the most of it - well, they, actually. The apparent lack of gear of their cleric didn't help them for sure, eager to see how this evolves! On a personal note well, not much to say, I missed a couple of stuns but spent most of my time stunlocked anyway, wasn't really expecting to play much at any point, I'm not sure what more I could have done, I found calming whisper + fleeing posture, sensory boost, to be utterly useless, and that's when I had time to use them...

The potential 4 CCs was tough to play against, there's threat coming all the time from everywhere in that regard, was really hard to keep track of everything. Not sure what else we could have changed, maybe go for the bard earlier? I don't know. I think the sorcerer as first target was the way to go, our setup allows us to tank the 2 free rangers in the meantime IMO. Looking forward to more!
Dracooo - Vallar - Memini - Pattrice - Bardwurst - Chill vs Standard - Emarosa - Heartbeat - Guess - Vics - MoorhuhnRunatorium - AntrikshaDraco2017-05-26 | That was quite an intense runat, we started slowly (to say the least) but made up for it as the instance went on. They had really good burst that was deadly despite the pressure we tried to keep on them. I did a few mistakes myself, used a few stuns on RS, quite a waste. I still need to use my blinds a bit better, I used them more in this runat but the timing is really dodgy. There's always the question of switching to a rezzed target or keeping on the current one that is low (you can hear Fenora not happy with my call at 9:35 :D), I try and judge on the situation, depending on what class just got rezzed, what CDs are up etc. We could have stayed on 2 in that situation I'd say but I have a tendency not to take any risks with SMs. That fortunately didn't change the outcome of the fight. I'm not sure what we could have changed to perform better, I think we did pretty good overall, just some tiny mistakes that add up, as well as a better focus on the opposite team. Hope to meet again that was good fun!
Dracooo - Chill - Vallar - Bardwurst - Fenora - Pattrice vs Harambe - Ikigai - Justlikeu - Mika - Iana - LogicoRunatorium - HyperionDraco2017-05-26 | Very nice and clean PvP indeed, I'm glad we got to experience it with this group after being "kindly asked to", I guess they're "clean" until they start losing. Man, I did not expect that ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Eager to see what the excuse will be this time, we probably started to play dirty when we managed to kill them I guess. It's a shame they have to play this way, I think this could be really fun from both sides regardless of the outcome but whatever.
I think we did rather good PvP wise, the focus was lost sometimes but overall I don't think there's much more we could have done. Would we have done better with a templar? We for sure would have more defense on this one but would lose on the attack on the other hand so I don't think the answer is that straightforward. In all honesty, I hope we won't find out :D
Don't forget to dislike if you're mad!
Dracooo - Bardwurst - Chill - Pattrice - Vallar - Fenora vs Norajplz - Darkein - Sanhe - Ramo - Xig - MaezzzRunatorium - ThorDraco2017-05-21 | Well that was a tough one, without BG or much CC it was hard to tank that much damage, we usually gave the first kill but could recover from it and eventually exhaust their defensive CDs. A couple of misscalls, maybe on the switch from Earth idk, going for a low guy on Earth after more 2 seconds seems like a waste to me as he will for sure get heals that will cover up more than the damage we can do. Still could have kept some pressure, we sometimes tanked much better than I thought we would. The two gladis helped us to burst targets down when needed though, that sure helped us a lot. Quite intense, a lot of things to watch out for, came out rather good for us :) Was trying to use Earth from 16:04 onwards but got KB before I could and ended up eventually dying, quite triggered.

I had a lot of fun making this video, my only regret is the length, I do appreciate this is very long but I couldn't break it into different videos as the whole video would have lost its coherence IMO. I hope you guys enjoy it :)Runatorium - ThorDraco2017-05-14 | Good group we fought there, we're getting used to the lack of BG and the gameplay that gladi offers. The high burst they had was really deadly. We fucked up the bard WoW badly, a bit too focused on the expected Empyrean Providence maybe? On a perosonal note, I should have used Deadly Focus more, I just can't find the correct moment to use it IMO, should at least try it now and then. Anticipating on whether or not I'm going to get focused isn't easy without RS on these setups, I sometimes end up getting stunlocked to death from full HP.

Starting to use my CDs better, especially defensively, still forgetting to use Sensory Boost, not too keen on this skill tbh, I don't find it to make that much of a difference. Could have used Deadly Focus more as well.

Quite a different setup today as some people were missing. It's a different type of play without templar nor second support from chanter, but the burst we have can spike a target down even if one of us is dead which is quite nice. It will take some time to get used to no templar for a month but it offers good switching if a cleric can't be slept (well, especially with 2 of them gladis). We'll see how it goes with a chanter! I didn't want to keep it going as I wasn't sure if they would flip at a given moment so I decided to finish it. A few mistakes on the personal side, I used a couple of stuns on RS or could have used KE for no resist, I'm quite happy with the sorcerer interruptions though!
Dracooo - Bardwurst - Pattrice - Vallar - Fenora - Kolorek vs Kimwaaaaaaaaaaaa - Sammaelll - Slayl - Kappachanter - Keiraa - Orim[How to] Rush Kumuki HideoutDraco2017-05-01 | These tests were done with a level 74 sin. Focused evasion is a good protection if things go wrong, it helps to make up for the little mistakes that can happen here and there. Constant sprinting helps a lot reduce the time per run which can fall under 5 minutes once you get used to it. Every 15 seconds that you can get here and there helps, if you consider a 5 minute run and multiply that by 12, that's already half a run extra. The scroll only needs to be taken if using the door controls don't transform you or if you die and are bugged I guess (which happened 0 time to me throughout my 5H30). It is still worth doing the instance with the constant 50% XP event, especially since we don't know when we'll see it again, and the gains from it are worth not skipping it. Some improvements can probably be made here and there for sure, but it's overall a pretty straightforward way.[PvP] Happy 75!Draco2017-04-30 | Nice fight with XForm, quite fun, it looks a bit retarded as 3-1-1-4 seems like imba combo, will see how it fits with the others in the long term.
How to miss an event that gives 16% per hour at level 74?!Why I love my team, especially ClickDraco2017-04-21 | What do I love about our team? There's always a good reason to laugh, and that's what makes this a great experience!SWB PvP - AntrikshaDraco2017-04-20 | Good SWB PvP, their xforms and solid frontline gave us trouble but we managed overall! I think we could have done better on killing the people on our clerics, especially on that bridge we spent too long chasing targets that were too far or with defensive CDs on. Besides that the focus is coming together, still some improvements to be made on some decision making, regarding PvP or PvE. We kept overriding each other's mark throughout the fights, that will need to be changed as it's not only confusing for people but also impacting us a lot as the DPS is split between two targets in that situation. The few minutes after the first fight were badly managed I believe, we could have done a lot more without risking much there. All in all fun fights :)

We fucked up the first one by switching and not giving a fuck anymore (the sleep trap was really well timed with it though!) but did a great job afterwards! Unfortunately their usual cleric wasn't there, I don't know how much it would have impacted the fights given the lack of a second dispel nonetheless. Good PvP though, always something to look forward to!

They weren't bad and looked organised tactic wise, but we did a better job during the fights which gave us the win IMO. Had fun overall, much more than the previous ones which were much more messy on so many levels - had my share of blame as well. I did a couple of mistakes here, I should have reacted much quicker to push on them when they came to the armoury as we weren't fully regrouped, that was clutch!Coop Arena - Bardwurst Tinkers MeminiDraco2017-03-12 | A nice coop vs our group members!
