So uh, BR is actually easy

[Jin_]

Hey guys ever accidentally hit the battle regimon button and couldnt attack the enemy and then you died and you hated that button?
Well thats my first experience with Battle Region, and then months later I joined a party and they wanted to do BR and I was clueless and they killed my apprehension easily.....

[shift key] + [#] = that action with BR button

You need to be engaged and targeting the mob,

first person press shift + 1 (basic attack)

second person press shift + 1 (basic attack)

first person sees second persons ability stacked above the party member list and knows they can press G and launch everyones move


You may have noticed I am a keyboard user.... but I am liberated because I thought you had to use BR with a mouse or gamepad........ so anyway.....

BR is great if you mob lives more than 10 seconds

TL;DR Shift + Ability bar = insta stack (newbs: opener press g when all stacked)

Yeah I love using the BR system (when it doesn't glitch) just need more battles to last longer so it can be of more use.

Yes BR is really easy to do. HOWEVER, we have those that... are not so quick to learn ; ;.

We shall call them, THE LEARNING IMPAIRED

(I apologize to anyone with an actual learning impairment)

no offence taken.

honestly I like br vs weapon skill chains. That was a complicating system. BR pretty much any 2 or more abilities have an effect on the mob. Like 2 basic attacks, or an attack and magic spell. As long as no one misses, the effect will go off.

Where weapon skill chains wasn't that basic, you needed to have the correct 2 weapon skills. Which helped with the "job of the mnth" fad. No one really does weapon skills chains anymore in ffxi, because they just take to much time to set up. First you need ppl to have @ least 100%, then hope they don't miss.

With br yes you need to "turn it on" but its more forgiving. I think people should experiment with the mobs more to find mobs just right vs the "die to fast" type.

And personally id start the battle with basic br.

more people would use them if they knew how they worked really.

LOL, a lot of ppl will go back to WoW before they even hear the term "battle regiments"

they're the same as ppl who don't understand The Last Remnant, mad at SE like "this game sucks, I waste my money and I better go back to WoW"

[Aion]

what the? shift+[keynum]=registering BR??

[Ayerc]

Shift + hotbar number = BR ability stack. I don't thin you can use the NumPad for it, though honestly, I never tried.

People do not use battle regiments for the same reason they do not use the party search feature... your guess is as good as mine.

This basically.

Battle Regimens are all kinds of great. They just need a little more pizazz and streamlining.

...No idea why nobody uses the party search function. Way better than the old party seeking flag in my opinion.
