Finally! I’m so excited!
March 22, 2011 at 8:27 am
awesome! gonna be starting a RK soon!
March 22, 2011 at 8:48 am
Awesome! My Rk is my main, so it is good to hear RKs will be getting some focus
Hope they talk about how awesome the healing can be

TBH I’ve never seen the podcast, or heard of it before the post on the RK forums, but I’m curious on what stance you will take on the RK. People typically take the “LOL OPRK!!!!” stance, it would be nice to have somebody take an analytical look at the pros and cons instead.

Welcome to CSTM! I’m glad you’ve stopped by. I hope you find the RK cast useful! We always try to find a good mix of play-styles for our class roundtables so we can cover as much of the class as possible.
March 22, 2011 at 9:15 am
I’d love to hear a little discussion about the following topics:
*The different chisels and which to take what-for
*What kind of damage-line makes more sense (perhaps situation-wise): Thunder or Fire and why
*LIs: Really need for 2 Stones and 2 satchels or are the average players able to take some compromises and use one stone and one satchel for all purposes
*new no-radiance-system. Which armor makes most sense – for Raiders and for non-Raiders
I am really looking forward for this event (perhaps I find some ideas to include in my German RK Guide) … by the way … are there any tools out there which are able to compose a transcript out of such a podcast?
March 22, 2011 at 9:27 am
There are tools but the free/low-cost ones available to our budget are pretty crummy. We’ve attempted transcripts before and it turned out into a incomprehensible mess. Especially for the roundtables where conversations flow around several players.
If you find a solution, we’ll be happy to hear it. We would like transcripts but haven’t found a good way to do so. Well, short of me typing out every word. Yeah, that’s not gonna happen!

Thanks for your fast reply. I did not work with such tools up to now, but know that some people in the office use Dragon Premium from Nuance for such cases. Did you give this a try?

Hi It is off-topic but I would really like to see a transcript of your pod casts not that you guys aren’t cool but I get bored really easy (it really isn’t you it’s me hehe)
March 22, 2011 at 9:35 am
If you see the comment directly above yours, I describe why we do not have transcripts currently.
March 22, 2011 at 10:08 am
My question would be:
* Healing with the RK: Any advanced tactics, traits, rotations and tricks?
March 22, 2011 at 10:34 am
I like to solo, so my questions are based on that at the moment.
My main is a hunter, so there is a similar feel, except that when soloing the RK is way more fragile, what is a good soloing strategy for leveling (currently level 41)?
When solo, when should I switch attunements? How do the pros switch attunements quickly?
What is the best way to learn how to heal? My main reason for rolling an RK is to heal endgame, since my main is a hunter, I already have ranged DPS covered lol.
March 22, 2011 at 11:00 am
Awesome, been waiting for this (I know it takes quite a bit to coordinate schedules and the like), and can’t wait to listen
March 22, 2011 at 11:14 am
Well I’ll be joining this, it’ll be interesting what other people with capped, raid-ready and experienced RKs will have to talk about.
March 22, 2011 at 4:03 pm
I’m already in great expectation… Boldly looking forward to this one!
March 22, 2011 at 6:49 pm
Whoa… two am.
Um… sounds interesting so I might manage to get to it – how do I get to it?
March 22, 2011 at 7:30 pm
*points to the link in the post about “instructions available”*
March 22, 2011 at 7:58 pm
I missed that bit when I was OMG-ing at the time
March 22, 2011 at 11:46 pm
So excited! Excited to hear my fellow kinnie Ari (woohoo!) but also to get some good RK tips, mine is only 48 but I love playing that class!
March 23, 2011 at 2:35 pm
I would like to second the comments about healing RKs. I would love to hear the roundtable discuss the healing abilities pros/cons of RKs, we all know they can DPS.
I have a minstrel and a RK at cap, and feel like I do a much better job healing on my RK, I like stacking hots, over reacting to damage spikes. However, like Rodney Dangerfield “I get no respect!” Mentioned to my kin last night my willingness to be one of the healers in the new raid, and was basically scoffed at. Nevermind, that I have a seperate set of a bag, chisel and stone all dialed in for maximum healing and have healed SG, the shire 3man, SH, GS, Forges, FG… I know raids are a different animal, but I truely feel that RKs are excellent healers, as long as they can forsee potential trouble.
How does the roundtable feel about RKs raid healing, have they done it? What worked well, what didn’t.
Thanks,
