Dusk Gear

[Callisto]

I'm debating getting a pair of dusk trousers for COR when it gets up to 72, but seeing as how I pull often as COR the movement speed- raises doubts. I know I could work out a way to swap in different legs for in between fights, but I'm kind of out of macro space to use(RDM + BRD + COR). I'm wondering if any of you guys can tell me from experience how large the movement speed- is from having on a dusk piece? Is it extremely noticeable, like enough to get me killed while returning from a pull?

Re: Dusk Gear

I believe the amount it slows you down is between 5%-10%. We've done a few test of it in my LS, but nothing really specific to narrow it down. I would certainly not recommend wearing it for pulls though. Most mobs move at roughly the same speed of a player, some a little slower, some a little faster. But I know that it only takes me a few seconds to catch up to someone wearing dusk gear giving them a headstart about equivalent to a pulling distance.

As for macroing it in with other legs, if you have a short macro (1 or 2 lines) you could add it in there without much trouble. For example:

/range <stnpc>
/equip legs "Other pants"
/wait 1
/ma "Cure" <stpc>
/equip legs "Dusk trousers"

This type macro will change your pants the first time after selecting a target for a ranged attack and you can then cancel the macro and will stop the other lines from activating if canceled. Even if you don't have cure as a spell it will just give you an error after selecting a target and will change your pants back to the dusk.

You can of course change that around however you like to fight what you'd use for it. For example, you pull on Cor and then engage back at camp:

/range <stnpc>
/equip legs "Pants"
/wait 4
/attack <stnpc>
/equip legs "Dusk trousers"

Pull the target with the first line and change pants, run to camp, then engage the mob and change pants back to your Dusk trousers.

Hope thats somewhat helpful.
