Much better vid this time Riker.

Like how you added:

-Bind resist talk (breaking it down during resist)
-RDM spells for hate grabbing
-Not relying on gravity & history lesson w/ Avesta talk

lol @ your friend breaking bind several times and you dancing/running around Girtab.

Thanks for the video

It was much better this time with the talk-- but I still think it was a bit too lengthy. Overall, I think you could have cut it down into several aspects:

1. The Pull
I liked this part: but I think you should pull out a map to show where people are actually going. As an instructional video, I think people should have the opportunity to know exactly what is happening.

2. Bind/DoT kill
Overall, I think you could have accomplished this within 3 minutes. Most of the action is mostly redundant: Bind/DoT-> Nuke!

3. Too Defensive:
To cut down on time, the moment you get to camp, use 1 gravity to slow it down, then proceed to nuke all your MP out--> then Convert-> then nuke until you only have 100 MP left. You want your convert timer counting down right away. Whenever your refresh items(and spell) get you back to 200+, nuke again. You can also speed it up by binding at one side of the room, run to other side, rest 1-2 ticks, repeat.

Also-- with the mob facing your friend:

This happens when a bound mob finds a player with hate in melee range: It'll attack that person during bind and will stare at that player if the person runs away.

This was made because SE didn't want tanks to bind a NM, and the melees just kill it straight up. It's not really under the same enmity system that determines which player it will go after.

Otherwise, was much better :D

yeah I'm familiar with the bind thing, but it was only weird cause we seemed to be equally distanced from the mob. Anyway thank you so much for the evaluation of all the vids thats exactly the type of stuff I wanna hear, and I'm thrilled you watched (and hopefully!) enjoyed them! :)

I took your comment about accomplishing it in 3 minutes to heart, and I just recorded my zip solo from 50%ish -30. then from 15%-0. Didn't quite catch the steal from a smn/sch team but that would have been interesting. Was franticly pounding macros though no time to open fraps until fight was under control lol.

Thanks broski :D Your right -- its in part, a biography. What the game looks like from my eyes, but on a higher level of play then the average "documentary" so to speak. But through seeing the way things are done on a higher level, I hope for people to learn through it. That's why it's not a VERY structured way that I go about my video's, I just hit record and say wahts on my mind, what I was thinking during the fight, tips and tricks, and of course the basics of the fight.

Thanks for the feedback bro means a lot ^^; I'm trying to figure out people do dual commentaries online, i think I send u the raw video, we hit play at the same time and discuss it on vent while recording that sound file; in any event maybe we can do a dual commentary sometime :D (that goes to both of you, fb & tke! )

Thanks again <3
