I see lots of people giving a full 2 hour music buff in only 3.5 minutes. Anyone know what the secret to this is;i.e, instrument to play, song, what flourishes, speed of flourishes?

Wow....I just reread my own post.......that was a LOOOOOOOONG time ago.


So much has changed since then. Except of course that the method still works.

Theres somewhat of an easier way to remember: The rule of 9.


9 flourishes, pause 9 seconds


/flourish 1;


/flourish 2;


/flourish 3;


/flourish 4;


/flourish 5;


/flourish 6;


/flourish 7;


/flourish 8;


/flourish 1;

/pause 9;


/flourish 2;
/flourish 3;


/flourish 4;


/flourish 5;


/flourish 6;


/flourish 7;


/flourish 8;


/flourish 1;


/flourish 2;

/pause 9;



...and so on

Ummmm

After the first 5 the server ignores them.

And 9 seconds is almost 100% reliable, but then I wouldn't get 3:10 now would I. It'd be like 3:20 then.

Yes, the "PPFU3:10QB™" has been and still is......5 flos pause 8.

5 is all the server sees at one time until the 8 second reset.

I do 4 flo's and 5 seconds and reliably give 3 minute buffsfor 2 hours, there is a few extra seconds in opening options and starting the timer but only a couple more. I suspect that the other 3 seconds of the cycleare consumed in actually queueing the flo's. I've also seen that the server tracks far more than 5 flo's now. I'll run this macro fora buff and then do /dump to continue flourishing for a good minute more off the ones queued up.

Yes the server will cue more flos to be played, however that doesn't change how many are seen for buff purposes. For buffs the flo doesn't need to be played, just cued.


I think your macro works because you are actually doing a 5 flo 10 second rate. The 4 flos will not reset in 5 seconds, but as you can have 5 "flo clicks" that the server can see within the 8 ish seconds, at 5 seconds one flo goes through...not all 4. Then at 10 seconds the first 4 have cleared, and all 4 go through again. At 15, another singleetc.......

I can't say for sure on the timing all I can track is the system messages. Those definitely flow in 4 pause 4 sequences. I'll throw together a macro sometime that does a 5 flo -10 sec set of flourishes and see if I get the same results. I do know that I reliably give 3 minute full length buffs so I'm happy with the macro I have. Its a set of 3 different combo's that I think go well together but I really need to add some more so it doesn't sound so repetative
