The above may have been a premature post. Thought I saw INT tagged with special abilities in another post.
After sleeping on it, I have a couple more quetions. Unfortunately, my high DDO experience and limited EQ experience has clouded my judgement. DDO was much more target and kill, with little thought for chaining, bridging, and using defenses. So I am learning all of this as I go. Guess what I need help with is understanding when best to use special abilities/spells. Here's my take - please critique as harshly as necessary to get the point across to me
1. Precombat buffs - pick which stance and special abilities I want to have keyed up for the duration
2. Initial attack - debuff or AOE to grab aggro.
3. Move about the mob to ensure I have aggro and protect the "squishies" in the back. Specifically target any monster that seems to be doing the most damage.
4. During combat use debuffs, AOE, and chained attacks (this one I'm still fuzzy on, and will hope for a steep learning curve in-game) to do the most DPS.
5. Post combat - save money for best armor/weapons I can get.
What I'm gonna need help is what abilities/spells I should focus on - debuffs, CC, AOE damage, or specific target damage?
I know my noobishness is coming across loud and clear, but I really enjoyed EQII so much more than DDO that I want to jump into Vanguard with both feet. I'll get the intricacies eventually, I just need a quick primer. If one has already been created, just post a link here. Thanks in advance.
