Return of Reckoning

Howdy folks. I just stumbled upon this revival of WAR and am trying to decide what class to roll once the download is complete. Is there a general need for tank/dps/heals in particular for Order? I like all the classes, so no need to reply with "play what you like." If there is no glaring need, then thats fine too, I just want to help round things out if I can.

Cheers!

Tanks far too many mdps running without guard. Just asking to get farmed by pres.

Order MDPS is the most lacking archetype in game.

Order are useless in general.

Its to do with the players though not the classes. All think they are rambo.

Seems like there are many new players in the game, that just don't know yet what the different archetypes are good for.
I see many tanks not guarding and mdps playing very deffensiv (hiding behind healers etc.) even when they are guarded.

Maybe a guide with whats and hows each class should act ( for RoR not War) would be helpful ,from our most experienced players , sorry but all I could find is what we do wrong not how to do right ,or direct me to treads that can help me with that ,maybe I missed them thank you in advance.

Not too difficult at this stage with limited abilities...

Tanks: guard yer Mdps, if you lose em switch guard / cross guard, whatever is in reach; keep auras / buffs running; push; snare; buy time

DPS: stay with your guard and in LOS for heals; hit stuff, preferably healers, robes, other mdps; mdps push in; detaunt

Healers: stay in the back (mainly), keep the guys in the front and, most important, yerself up; toss a few dots around; detaunt

I'm working on two sheets, where you can select different classes on each side and see their buff/debuff/cleanse capabilities in relation to other classes. I'm still not sure how to make it easy to use, but i think it will be in a pdf.
The main purpose is that new players see, that there is more than just damage and heal in this game. It can also be used to see balancing weaknesses.
It has also links to the "hammerwiki" so that new players get a (very) basic overview on the different classes.

I've just added some new things to this. You can now toggle class numbers between right now and last 7 days, You can also toggle to see players names online (not all classes added yet).

And when I said Order MDPS where lacking I meant in numbers, not skills but these low numbers probably reflects difficulty of playing Slayer without support and gimpiness of WL.
