Title says it all, I'm naturally curious what to expect when getting a new move so when I make the character I read down the skill "tree" (or list in teras case) but this one time I was lvling my lancer in a dungeon run and the Lvl 55 sorc didn't even know what BoC did...

    reading is hard

    I encountered the same exact situation as you, mr. lancer. Except at level 65.
  • UdonPastaUdonPasta ✭✭
    i my self didnt read any skills untill i reached like lvl 60 on my warrior back during nexus, untill i got to endgame i found out how important some skills really could be for a warrior and how to use them to ther fullest.
    try to teach stuff to players if you see something wierd awkward (like the new ninja's who never use focus or dps warriors in def stance) and hope it helps them get beter at the end of the road ;3

    Reason one:

    Some people are enjoying how the game looks more than the game play and just do not care until much later on in the game

    Reason two:

    Some people believe it all about how you look rather than max Damage. Take Female Castanic Warriors doing a back flip just to barrel roll, sooooo much more important than silliness about what does max damage

    Reason three:

    Some people play for the socail aspect of MMO's, I know it is silly that some people enjoy the company of others those foolish mortals.

    Reason four:

    Wait this game has tool tips, who knew

    Reason five:

    Why do people make these threads?

    I did have to explain to a mystic in DFNM how to throw skittles at a distance. BUT, I actually don't mind trying to be helpful.
  • Chaotix453Chaotix453 ✭✭✭
    Probably for a similar reason to which you omitted an o in your thread title. Not paying enough attention.
  • Ghost915Ghost915 ✭✭✭
    I've had to explain to some priests that you can actually press "Triple Nemesis" THREE times...who woulda guessed? xD

    Nah but, I mean a lot of us have been guilty of it...When I first made my reaper, I didn't know that you could press shadow burst a SECOND time to pull enemies closer to you & knock'em down. Ever since then I have been 100% more observant and now read all my skills on my other classes...I still think that a lot of reapers don't know this to be honest I barely see others use it;;;?

    Some people learn from doing the skill, rather than reading it.
    For me, I can't work my way through town with verbal instructions of a simple "left" "right" "etc". I don't do street signs. If someone tells me to go West through town, I'll look at them completely blank.
    I go by picture. By visuals.
    I know my skills by how it looks,what's chained with it, and where it's placed on my bar... And I won't lie when I say I still look up the names of skills on my Reaper because of that. It's just how I work.

    because you use boc, instead to use the skill name of burst of celerity

    People are just lazy in general. You see warriors that dont use scythe because you get it at such a high level that those that dont know or dont care about that stuff either disregard the skill entirely, or use it at 4 edge or something like that

    Mystics dont know how important their crit aura is, even more now than before, and dont even get me started on mystics and priests not glyphing their TN and VoC for endurance debuffing

    Lancers dont debilitate

    Zerkers dont overcharge

    Archers dont use veliks mark or get in a stance

    Slayers dont get OHS reset glyph so they sit through the painfull animations that they have... It hurts even me when i watch them

    Sorcs dont use any skills what so ever. Except fireball and the occasional hailstorm (and BoC fireballs, good god)

    NInjas dont use focus

    Brawlers dont use Growing Fury

    Reapers dont use shadow reaping, and if they do they keep doing the same rotation as they always did because they dont know what the skill does

    All of these problems can be fixed if people just took their time to read a simple skill description and looked at their glyphs, but i guess theres really no need for that anymore since skills are automatically put on your skill tray and glyphs can be automatically assigned. I have no idea what a glyph build on any class looks like if you press that button, but i cant imagine its pretty

    Why are people too lazy to observe even the most basic rules of grammar?

    Today I was called d*ckhead because I asked for proper crystals, ccb and to use energy stars + triple nemesis. I am d*ckhead almost everytime I ask for those things.
    People can call me whatever they want, but please.. Proper crystals and ccb. And read your skills. Please.

    You think that's bad? I was called an elitist because i asked a mystic to cleanse a debuff off of me. :proud:
  • VenpaiVenpai ✭✭✭
    now to defend ninjas who don't use focus, i have a habit of forgetting teleporting turns it off so i'll be a little bit into a fight and then be like oh [filtered] that's right. although similarly to @Tiana i couldn't name some of my reaper skills when i mained it, but i knew the proper rotation, what chained into what, what they looked like. and i mained it for like two years before switching to ninja lmao.

    i know i made a joke saying reading is hard, but there's some leeway i think.
  • NopiNopi ✭✭✭✭✭
    Focus turns off when teleporting, changing channels, feeding your cat, going to sleep, making toasted bread, and so on, so on. Yeah. As for reaper, I use reaping at the start of a fight but because it's not my main and I don't remember all of the key binds I also end up doing sometimes the same thing over and over, because of spacebar hero. <.<
