Leadership Experience PointsFollow

Am now getting leadership points because I have GoD installed, however there is no information about what they are used for, or if they are only used in GoD area.

Can anyone explain it all to me.

Also, the weapon you claim. How do you use it? Fit in my ranged slot but haven't a clue how to use it.

Thanks

There ya go :}

Ahhh thanks for that info Cobra, never knew that *growls at Sony*

It's all relative. One group could be heavy melee and in dire need of Health Regen, or Increased Health. The next group could be caster heavy and in dire need of Mana Regen, Spell Recognition, etc. Then next group might even be that nice blend of the right Tank, MA, MP, etc. and in need of Delagate MA, Show NPC Health.

Personally, I think Show NPC Health, Delagate MA (which really sounds like what most people would call the MP), Health and Mana Regen are universal.

many people find Health of Targets Target very useful (especialy in raids).

However, that is reflected in the cost of it.

Bad Idea. 100% normal xp untill 55. secure 55 100% aa untill baron.
then 100% AA untill 65 then 90% AA 10% xp.

that is the usual method adopted in my experiance, 1 AA point is the same as doing lvl 51-52 so it get quicker if you do it at higher levels.

the back half.

100% xp untill you get to lvl 65

at 65: 90% AA 10% xp <slowly creats a buffer for all those deaths.>

the baron is the basic minimum to start on your second tier stuff. Run3 is very usefull even at the lower level and 6 doesn't slow getting to 65 too much.

anyway get onto to SoE and get our guild created and stop bothering me with questions

Thought I'd chime in a bit here... as I have a number of these.

Health of Target's Target is incredibly useful for both the healers timing heals (you can see if you need to throw a CH on the tank or not, depending on if the mob is about to die etc etc). It is also a wonderful pulling tool, as if you are in doubt on whether a mob is going to assist your pull you can target it while pulling another. If you suddenly see your name pop into it's target, then you have agro, don't even have to face it to see if it's moving towards you. Monks can also use this to see if FD wiped agro even if the target is blocked, can react and FD the second they pop up, seeing their mob retarget them the second they stand. Tanks also love being able to see when they are losing agro (mob doesn't even have to twitch a muscle, retargeting shows it has switched, and tank can taunt/stun whatever before the mob even gets a chance to turn around and whack someone else).

Deligate MA is useful for groups that have problems using the assist key, or in situations where you may fight many opponents, and the tank may switch around (without telling). It also helps to make the mezzer the MA person, so they can show the tank which mob to kill next very quickly. Kinda situational though.

Spell Awareness is amazingly helpful... by far my favorite leader AA. Useful for pulling, you can tell if and when a mob starts casting a buff (sometimes pullers get paranoid a mob is starting a nuke on em, if they are buffing instead, they can pull around the buffer while they cast). Very very useful for fighting clerics, as you can tell when they are casting nukes (let em) or complete heals (stop at all costs). Gate is already shown, but SA just gives another line of text saying, yes this mob is gating, stop him. Also helps stop other nasty spells, like dispel or mezzes... if the stunner/mezzer cares to stop em. (edit) forgot to say... it also lets you know what spells your group members are using, and if they're doing anything at all. I've actually had to correct a few lvl 65 shaman, who were using really low level slows, or disease based slows instead of their magic based slows... sad that they didn't know their own spell book (and e-bayers are becoming more frequent).

After those, I'd recommend hp, then attack. Mana is pretty much pointless, once people have KEI, amongst other mana regen, who the hell cares about another 100 mana? Noone runs oom anyways these days... unless someone's doing something majorly wrong. Gotta be nuking the heck out of something or healing a very low hp tank to run oom. And in those cases, you're probably over agroing anyways. That would be the last leader AA I'd ever get, and I'd have leader AA turned off a long time to get normal AA's faster first. Well, I'd probably get that before regen too... that's even more pointless. Another 1 or even 5 points of regen means nothing when you're getting hit for 200, even more pointless when you're getting hit for 1200.

This is news to me. Does anybody have a link to where Sony said this was a bug?

Can anyone tell me whether the "Mark designate" skill (allowing you to designate the marking ability to another group member) can be designated to yourself, thus avoiding having to buy the basic marking ability?

Actually, turn them on as early as possible. Leadership exp seems to be based on current exp needed to level, not a set amount like AA's. Leadership points add up quick at lower level when the levels fly by. It seems to be that if you get say 1 blue from a kill, then you get 4/5 and 1/5 in leadership instead with it turned on. Once you are getting to the levels where 1 kill may just make the blue bar nudge barely, leadership doesn't even visually move.

Unless you are already 55+, then yea, will just make those levels more painful. :)

I'm getting Health of Target's Target first. Then spell awareness. In my opinion, none of the other options are even remotely as useful as those two. It takes a while to build up leader xp for me though, since I'm not leader that often, so I haven't given it a ton of thought past that. I'll probably go for hp/mana regen, then raw hp. The other stuff like designate MA, mark npc, etc all seem like tools that good players don't really need all that much.
