    It's pretty unfun to use if you don't use a macro. Especially if you're playing on a pad.

    And yeah, I share the OP's feelings. It feels like you gotta cram as many GCDs in that window as possible, and 6 seconds is too short with lag and the fact that GCD are all 2.5secs now instead of 2.4. I would say 7 or 8 seconds should be good.

    They could nerf the healing or damage reduction to compensate or whatever, but it would be nice to have a bigger window.

    Oh, and I don't have it on me, but I posted in another thread also about nascent chaos a macro for nascent chaos which casts it on your focus target, or if one isn't available, goes to another party member, and then switches you back to your last enemy, or if one isnt available, the closest enemy.

    Makes the action so much easier and fun to use = p

    Assist means "Target the Target of my current Target."

    Use the Dpad to press down and target you co-tank. Apply the buff. Press Assist to instantly retarget the boss.

    That's neat for pve, but I don't think that's gonna work in pvp. That's why I'd rather use a macro.

    Here's what I use, lemme see if I can remember it off the top of my head:

    /merror
    /micon "Nascent Flash"
    /psort
    /ac "Nascent Flash" <f>
    /ac "Nascent Flash" <2>
    /ac "Nascent Flash" <3>
    /ac "Nascent Flash" <4>
    /ac "Nascent Flash" <5>
    /ac "Nascent Flash" <6>
    /ac "Nascent Flash" <7>
    /ac "Nascent Flash" <8>
    /tle
    /tenemy


    You can pretty much use the same macro for pvp. Just make sure you use the pvp version of the code above.

    I never use this feature because I just hit down on my directional pad twice for the next tank, theoretically if that's how it works, you are attacking the boss, you L3 and it targets tank, you use skill and press L3 again and it goes back to the original target?

    You just have to "highlight" the target. Like hover the cursor over them and after you use the ability the cursor will switch back to your current target. (I just press down, too, because I don't trust macros.)

    Yep thats how it works. Typically though, ill just use the DPad to target the tank THEN use Assist (L3) to retarget to boss since sometimes they are near impossible to retarget. This way its quick and easy. Its an especially helpful on a healer who has to bounce back and forth.
