Why Rotations ._.

[Nachtbrut]

why is this a thing again in games? i hate this. i just wanna play and not studdy a rotation. isnt it enough to just need to know the bosses/ dungeons for getting stuff.
also i dont know what class to play, since rotation things are this kinda things i dont rly get used to :/

Because button mashing takes no skill and isn't fun for anyone but the most simple minded. Most class rotations come naturally anyway and aren't nearly as tough as you make it out to be.

classic wow seems like your game. play frost mage and make every button on your bar frostbolt.

Just be glad it isn't the summoner rotation from ffxiv stormblood lol

That depends on the class. I wouldn't call reaper rotation the simplest ever.

lmao. did u just say i cant play games without expecting rotations. tbh, this is the first game after YEARS of spending in other mmos, that also had tons of classes with some rotations to deal perfekt dmg. but it wasnt nessessary. here it totaly is. idk i just kinda dont like this. but anyways: wich rotation of this game is easy to learn man? i went strait for all 6 to kinda "check them out" but nothing seems to be suitable

Every mmo has rotations. If you didn't realize that you've probably either been doing the proper rotation without knowing, or you've been doing suboptimal dps your entire life.

guess what, i probably did the supoptimal dps thing. but i totaly went fine with it, since it just went about maybe 200-500 dps. here its kinda like 2-3k dps. lul

That's the thing, i find it so simple that it's boring for me. I come from playing a DRK in XIV, so i preffer zerk, way more satisfactory than spear. DId you try Drunken master?

Use drink up and light smash to maintain aggro,
use phantoms to distract enemy,
retract phantom to get shields,
triple left click followed by a charged right one ( after 3 lefts your charge loads faster)
rage of the mountain as an emergency shield/damage reduction,
parry big tank busters with headwind style,
when boss is down, change to your DPS stance so you can charge right click up to 4( you deal more dmg but get less aggro, so when boss gets up take it off), if you lose aggro,
use drink to force the boss to attack you, this is undodgable and it's a 100% force taunt.

And that's it, it's a bit more difficult than phalanx, but waaaaaaay more fun.

Im starting to think this is not the game for you...
Every class has mechanics, and this is nowhere as complicated as tanking was in XIV back when i started playing. (i'm looking at you drk...)

It is really simple once you get the hang of it, i'd say you'd be able to learn this in about 2 dungeons, it's a wall of text, but its really not difficult at all. Spear has way more issues keeping aggro than Zerker, so i suggest you try it.

Oh, and tera is not a good example of tanking mechanics, really...
