<p>Since I saw so much confusion and contradictary information on the "ideal group" thread, this guide will help you determine what buffs you should be looking for and who provides them. If there's anything I left out or feel should be added please let me know as I'm at work and going off the top of my head. Here goes...</p><p>Caps you should know and try to buff up to (but not over): </p><p>Auto Attack Caps -</p><p>DPS Mod: 115</p><p>Haste: 125</p><p>Proc Mod: Double of Base Proc Amount (For example Unholy Arms has a base Proc amount of 8% and you get 5% from AA, the cap is still 16%)</p><p>Recommended Potions to use:</p><p>Rilissian Rager Slipstone - 30 min temp buff for +3 Double Attack </p><p>OR</p><p>Danak Regimental Oilstone - 30 Temp buff for 15 DPS Mod</p><p>Elixir of Combat - +4% Double Attack for 15 min</p><p>---------------------------------</p><p>Notes: </p><p>For the love of all that is unholy, USE Mastercrafted Strength Rings. Hello 31 DPS Mod... we use big damage spread weapons??? Unless you have a stacked DPS Mod group there really isn't anything better for DPS out side of T4+ Raiding. See the caps above, try to get DPS mod and Haste both over 100. </p><p>If you're tanking a group... ASK FOR MELEE BUFFS. Groups <> Raid, you need them to hold aggro. NO SH$$ You're going to lose aggro in a group with a Brigand, casters, and a Illusionist and the Illusionist gives Haste and IA to the Brigand and then pulls out a pet. Know your buffs and give buffers hell if you're not buffed correctly. See List Below. </p><p>on ACT it might help to go to "Triggers/Sounds" and plug this in...</p><p>.*?YOU try to slash.*</p><p>.*?YOU try to crush.*</p><p>.*?YOU hit.*</p><p>.*?YOU critically hit.*</p><p>It gives you a good general idea when your auto attacks hit and you can plan spells / CAs around them.</p><p>---------------------------------------</p><p>Dirge:</p><p>Riana's Indignant Sustain - Group 31 DPS Buff</p><p>Chimes of Blades - Group Temp 59 Haste Buff + Disease Damage on every hit * Raidwide with Mythical</p><p>Tomb's Calm - Chance at extra Disease Damage</p><p>Don't Kill the Messenger AA - +7.5% Melee / Spell Crit Chance</p><p>Luck of the Dirge - 20%?
