INTRODUCTION :
Hello ! After doing some rerolls and playing thousands of hours, I came to the conclusion that many players, (new or veterans), lacked certain essential practices in order to appreciate group play in scenarios or in RvR.
This is not a repproach, sometimes we just don't think about it, and if no one tells you...
So here we, go some very simple (and obvious) tips to become awesome in scenarios or in RvR.
Note those tips are applicable, whether you are a lonely casual player or not. They are super simple and easy to follow.

Rule I : Know your Role.
«No one expect a Sorcerer or a Bright Wizard to heal anyone.»
If this sentence makes no sense to you, rule n°I is not acquired.

GENERAL :
-If you play in a group (scenario, warband), act as a part of this group, don't play solo.
-Read carefully what your ablities, moral and tactics can do. According this game is not a solo game, always ask yourself what you gonna be able bring to a team. Don't hesitate to test different specs and build, it is free.
-Remove yourself from a received idea : You are not a game changer. The whole group is interdependent : Understanding what each class can and cannot do will help you make choices during fight. Ex : A healer can't jump in enemies backlines to heal you.
-Try as much as possible to keep your group concentrated : The more you spray, the harder it will be to everyone to fulfill his role, beware of funnel vision, don't be pulled far from your buddies. If it happens, you are dead, and you risk causing their death too.
HEALER :
-If you play a healer, act as a healer and heal (a lot).
Focus on your group FIRST, and keep an eye on other players, just in case.
BASIC : -YOUR GROUP MUST HAVE YOUR HEALING PRIORITY-
SECONDARY : -DONT FORGET TO BUFF YOUR TEAMMATES-
Addon(s) : Enemy. It will help you to see in a blink who needs some heal, a buff, a cleans AND target him faster.
DAMAGE DEALER :
-If you play a damage dealer, act as a damage dealer, do damages (a lot).
As a damage dealer, you have to eliminate opponents. You are the only one able to do this. Problem is
that alone, you wont be able to eliminate anyone without fail. ASSIST is the key.
BASIC : QUICKLY DECIDE WHO IN YOU GROUP/WARBAND GONNA BE THE MAIN ASSIST AND ASSIST HIM AT ALL COST
SECONDARY : -ASSESS THE RISKS FOR YOUR GROUP-
(It is easier to assist a melee damage dealer, for some obvious reasons)
Addon(s) : Swiftassist is a mandatory.
Little edit of swifassist macro : (Credits : Sullemunk; Bradbury111)
Copy/Paste this in the macro :
Code: Select all
/script SwiftAssist.SetAssist();
Enemy.MarksToggle(1);
SendChatText(L"Assisting %f", L"")
TANK :
-If you play a tank, act as a tank, and tank.
Become the shadow of the one you guard and take the blows in his place.
Doing damages is NOT your priority. PROTECTING your teammates (atleast one, to begin with)
and interfere with opposing tanks, driving them away from the target they protect. When you will be
confident, with your role, try to switch your guard tu any secondary member of your group who
could need your protection.
BASIC : -GUARD SOMEONE AND STICK HIM LIKE A LEECH-
SECONDARY : -CHALLENGE OPPONENT AND ISOLATE MAIN TARGET (BUMPING HIS OWN GUARD)
Addon(s) : Guardpack is a mandatory. Enemy to switch fast if needed.
