Even if you have 20 sticky posts explaining exactly how to play the class and any common questions, people will always ask. :smileyhappy:

<P>THe stickied info is great and VERY helpful. I have been reading through it extensively. The Coercer forums have some of the best info I have seen!</P> <P>I the reason I posted was to see if there was any new info out there sense things change (bows to the whim of SOE) and to just make sure I was on the right track.</P> <P>Vyndion</P>

[JackAll]

<P>This is not aimed at you specificly.</P> <P>Its aimed at the huge influx of new coercers I have seen over the last few months</P>

[Nolomite]

<DIV>There are a few common themes on EVERY class board:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1) I'm new to the class and am still learning to play my ____ ?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2) What's the best AA setup for ____ ?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>3) Why do people think that ___ is a better (tank/DPS/mezzer/healer) than ___ ?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you were to remove all these basic questions 'from play' and relegate them to FAQs, then the message boards would be 85% populated with the "Nerf ___ for chrissakes!" or "Wow our ___ sure have been nerfed since LU13" threads, with most of the rest devoted to pics of class gear.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Being a new guy myself, I feel particularly good when I can answer a question - at the point where I can answer more of them than I ask, then I'll stop considering myself a newb. If you find yourself 'above' answering the trivial/oft-repeated questions, that's cool - someone else out there would love to feel like they're giving back by answering. But if you are above it, please stay above it - go create some high-level esoteric discussion threads where you disect the minutae of a level 55 utility spell (Amnesia, for instance)  rather than [Removed for Content] the merits of a level 55 utility spell in a thread begun by a newly-betrayed lvl. 22 Coercer (Ghunn, for instance).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Even the level 70 Coercers used to be level 20 Coercers - do you remember those days?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I do - my Coercer just dinged 20 last night.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<P>I dont mind helping out. I really dont.</P> <P>I have been doing so for a very long time now.</P> <P>And by all means ask about how the spells work. Its what the board is for.</P> <P>Just have the curtesy to read the sticky at the top first so you atleast know the basics.</P> <P>There is some nice info on amnesia there also btw.</P>

[Ghu]

<DIV>I just read the amnesia info. Good stuff!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>We are raiding tonight so won't get a chance to trry out the awesome tips I have gleemed today but will try them ASAP!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>(If I'm allowed to raid tonight, I will lay low and hopefully not make a fool of myself <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[JackAll]

<P>Personly I use amnesia a lot when soloing. Its a nice way of resetting agro after you have pulled a heroic off your pet.</P> <P>1 thing you have to watch out for when charming is that if you have encounter locking on and you charm after you engage the encounter. Your new pet can never get agro. Even amnesia cant help you there.</P> <P>Thats why I never have encounter locking on</P> <P>If someone tries to "help" you and brakes your mezz. Well thats yet an other great use for amnesia.</P>
