Using CA

[Bulzie]

I'm level 20 and was wondering if I am using my CA's correctly.  When using a CA, should I wait for the effect to go away before using another CA?  For example if I use Thrust Kick I think is the name that knocks the mob back for a sec, should I wait for the mob to get up and the sparkles to go away before hitting the next CA?  I'm wondering if I am missing out on CA dmg or effects by hitting CAs too soon.<div></div>

No the animation is much slower then the effect. It's like using your Rapid Swings CA's while the damage is instant(after the cast time) the animation last for a few seconds. Spamming another CA's doesn't change the damage just cuts the animation short.Knockdowns/stuns/debuffs will have any icon on the target and one in your buff window also letting you know when the effect is applied and worn off.<div></div>

You should try to time any CA's that have a stun component to keep the mob stunned for as long a period of time as possible. Also, move behind the mob once you have it initially stunned. This way the mob cannot use frontal defenses against your attacks.<div></div>

<div></div>I found that spreading my stun type CA's along my hotbar as much as i could really helped to make sure I was getting the most out of them. That way you dont have to worry about them overlapping and if they are already setup the way you want you dont have to waste time reading which one to use next.

Just standing there, hit 1,2,3 is a bit boring.</p><p> </p><p>When I tank, I keep in front of the mob, so the DD's behind it are more or less save from AOE from the mob.</p>

Still abit unclear on this.  I got a new maintained spells window that shows duration of spells.  When I hit mob with Shoulder Charge, I see the spell icon and timer for about 2 seconds.  So during this time, I should wait before hitting my next CA right?  If I hit another stun CA during the short time Shoulder Charge is active, will it not waste some part of the stun on one of the spells?<div></div>

in the time that the stun is active, you should be able to get behind the mob and get off at least one more CA and your next stun and then another CA. As the duration of your stuns gets a bit better you'll be able to get off a few more CAs.<div></div>
