Okay, I am 50% xp from 20 and my Illusionist Title.. (Which is a misnomer.. we get SHITE for illusions..)

One word..... Breeze .......... that stuff is like liquid crack that tastes like heaven... If you ever hear someone say breeze doesn't make a big difference, smack them in the head... HARD.. I am hooked on the stuff...

My stuns and stifles are the shizznit... and don't get me started on my DoT / DeBuffs... I gotta be careful with them so I don't draw agro from the tank...

I may bitch about my class not having any good illusions or "fluff".. but in battle.. where it matters, I ROXXOR !!!!!!!

That is... if Lat isn't making me do the " WHEEL DAMMIT !!!!!!!" dance, hehe...

Just kidding Lat...

Ssss-Aaaa-Ffff-Eeee-Tttt-Yyyy
Safety-Dance!

Ah we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to, A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind,
and we can dance

We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to a place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind
and we can dance.

Francois!

Ah we can go when we want to the night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
and surprise 'em with the victory cry

I Say we can act if want to if we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And i can act like an imbecile
I say we can dance, we can dance everything out control
We can dance, we can dance we're doing it wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance everybody takin' the chance
Safety dance
Oh well the safety dance
Ah yes the safety dance

Ssss-Aaaa-Ffff-Eeee-Tttt-Yyyy
Safety-Dance

We can dance if we want to, we've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything'll work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're are no friends of mine
I say we can dance, we can dance everything out control
We can dance, we can dance we're doing it wall to wall
We can dance, we can dance everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance everybody's takin' the chance
Oh Well the safety dance

Oh well the safety dance
Oh well the safety dance

Exactly...my firm belief that we are safer dancing around Antonica and such when we are dancing with the Heroic Opportunity wheel.

Then again, I am biased. One of the biggest draws to being a Scout (from a design perspective at least...not sure they've gotten it exactly right from an implementation perspective) was their ability to manage / manipulate the combat wheel.

While it can be very fun and provide very tangible benefits to a group fighting a challenging MOB, it is challenging to coordinate and execute all but the simplest "wheels".

My only comment on the wheel thing...

If you tank is about to die, and the healer throws that life saving heal that breaks the wheel... well, the wheel needed to be broken....

And if the healer is being beat down, I am mezzing the mob REGARDLESS what kind of wheel we are running....

The wheel is great.

Whether or not you can use it effectively depends on the group. I had one group where we got pretty much every one, had a great system, and another group where people didn't get it and it didn't work. The first group was much more efficient and nobody died for 4 hours, second group... not so much.

There's a good heal/regen HO that goes Scout, Fighter, Priest.

I do, however, agree that sometimes the wheel needs to be broken.

Thats what I am saying... and also... as a Ench / Illusionist, in a group that is wheeling... I pretty much sit back and watch.. as I very rarely have anything to contribute to the wheel, and am afraid to cast, in fear my cast timer runs too long and god forbid breaks the wheel.

Hmmm, low RPM wheels sound good. Ones that don't turn as quickly or as often...thereby everyone is able to cast need spells and what not.

Totally agree that if someone is down in th red/yellow it is better to save the group member than to worry about wheel breakage.

Can someone educate me on this wheel thing? Never heard about it before but it sounds intriguing.
