WildStar Combat Tips

I've been playing Wild Star for just a little while now but I've come across somethings that may be perfectly obvious to some players and not even thought of by others when it comes to combat. So here's a quick list.

  • Keep those feet moving. Just because you can't see that red area of effect marking on the ground doesn't mean no damage is coming your way. The combat really is designed around moving around as much as possible.
  • Use your "r" skills. I don't know what they are really called but they're activated by pressing the "r" key on the keyboard so there you go. Anyway when I first started playing I thought they were one of those panic skills with an epic cool down time, not so much. Most of them recharge surprisingly fast and all of them boost your damage and healing a ton.
  • All characters come with some sort of interrupt skill, and all players should have one in their action bars. During boss fights in dungeons some will have multiple layers interrupt armor, everybody having some sort of interrupt in these fights can be the difference between life and death for the party.
  • Don't just spam skills. Pay attention to patterns of enemies, keep moving, and watch for promts.  Boss fights remind me a lot of an anime, they have to yell out the name of an attack before they do it. This is going to give you time to get yourself positioned or use those interrupts. 
Those are some things that have helped me out. If you can think of any others feel free to share in the comments section, I know I need all the help I can get and I'm sure other do to.

Final Fantasy XIV The Road to Ninja

That's right a the road to being a ninja, because we all know nothing beats a ninja. So how do you become a ninja? First: You have to have a level 30 rogue, and a level 15 Pugilist. Second: You need to be done with the rogue story quest with the three treasures.( Found that out last night the hard way) Third: (unconfirmed) Do the story quest Sylph Management. You've probably already got it done, but still a lot of people told me I needed this one done. Forth: Once the first and second things are done go and talk to Jacke at the rogue's guild and he'll set you up with the quest chain for ninja.

Another Day Another Bounty 10.24.13

That's right it's a new day and another bounty has been released for all of us hunters in the Borderlands 2 Loot Hunt. Today's bounty is DJ Tanner , he can be found in Magnys Lighthouse . This hunt is another that is in the Captain Scarlett DLC. He should drop the " Tidal Wave " that can be used for the community bounty. Speaking of the community bounty, today's community bounty is Sand Worm Queens . You may remember fighting one while doing the My life for a sand sandskiff mission  early on in the DLC. A Sand Worm Queen is what leaps out of the sand and swallows Lionel's engine capacitor. I found the best place to find the Sand Worm Queen in Wurmwater just north of the Rustyard exit in a crater. You actually have to hope out of your skiff for them to spawn and they don't always spawn. I have a picture of the location down below.

Wildstar goes F2P

Another MMO is going free to play. That's right recently the makers of WildStar have announced it's going free to play. I don't know if it's just going completely free and just charging people for the extras in-game or if you'll still have to buy the game but they are getting rid of the monthly fee. Really you didn't need to pay a monthly fee, I know I didn't for the short time I played the game. All you had to do was buy (with in-game money) the special tokens that would let you in-turn buy game time. That's right, it's the system that WoW picked up, which kinda makes me wonder if WoW is going to be going free sometime in the future. hmmmmm. Anyway Wildstar is supposed to be going free this fall.  So if you haven't played or like me got tired of playing, this fall might be a good time to hop back into the game.
