A Guide to Team Play

It is a difficult mission to create a teamplay guide, and all the more so to create an RvR teamplay guide. RvR is the beating heart of WAR, and it’s the reason that many of you play.There are many reasons for playing in a group: because playing with other players makes it so much more fun, or because you want to play with friends or people you met in-game. Perhaps you want to form a group to try out something new.Of course, this is only one example, even if it is the most common. Some groups opt for a third healer instead of a caster or a melee DPS; the hybrid nature of the careers allows you to use the team makeup to your advantage. Some prefer a group which utilizes distance, with two healers and four casters or archers, and even three of each. Don’t forget to enlist a defensive warrior to protect the weaker careers, and make sure you have enough careers capable of inflicting damage quickly to get rid of your enemies, or choose characters capable of blocking enemy movements.

Generally, as your character progresses, you will be invited to team up with other players. Perhaps you know them, perhaps they are part of your guild or perhaps you’ve just met them. How ever you know them, with this group, you will be able to gain access to a completely new dimension of the game. No matter how well you know how to play your character, you will have to make use of the complementary nature of WAR careers if you wish to advance.What follows should not be considered as the ultimate guide, but in it you will find general, helpful advice which, while fighting other players, could help sway things in your favor.Your average group consists of two healers, two ranged fighters and two hand-to-hand combat fighters. This will make you very versatile and therefore capable of dealing with most situations.These are choices to be made; however, if there is one piece of advice you need to follow, it is to keep your healers alive. Without healing, your group will find it extremely difficult to confront their enemies, whoever they may be.
