(Pulling)
This is how you get a monster to your group 95% of the time. Pulling involves
pulling a monster with an arrow, or a long distance magic spell. In some cases
this can also involve you going right up to the monster, attacking it, then
running back to your group before you die. A heavy armored warrior make the
best tanks. However, a mage can pull with a spell, then a warrior can take
the hate.
At first, only pull one or two heroics at a time, so you can see what your
group can handle, and what it can't. Just don't think you are some invincible
tank that will never die. Everybody has a limit on how many mobs they can
handle at once.
Once you can handle 2 heroic mobs, start pulling 3 at a time, and maybe even
4 at a time. Just be sure the hate is on you, and not the priest. Another
point is to check the level of the mob you are pulling. (You, a level 30 VS
2 level 40 heroic mobs) who would win? Pull mobs at or around your level. A
safe level range for heroics would be any level below yours, to about 2-3
levels above.
(Tanking)
Tanking. If you are a heavy armored warrior, this is your job. All you have
to do is take all the melee and magical attacks (sounds fun, huh?) Never fear
because if you have a priest in your group (please tell me you didn't forget
to get one) you will be fine. Just be sure you're the one taking all the
damage, and not your groupmates.
Warriors get lots of hate spells to use on enemies. Be sure to use them. When
soloing, you have no need for hate. So just focus on keeping yourself alive.
Once you get low on health, spam your attacks and try to take the enemy down.
If you get REALLY low on health; run.
(Healing)
Healing... it well.... erm.... does what it says it does. Heal. Keep your
groupmates alive. You do that, they're happy, and you're happy. If you don't
heal them, they get mad, they see if they can find another priest to replace
you with, then they KICK YA! So be sure to heal, and everything will be fine.
Soloing is a different story. First of all, priests wear light armor. Meaning
they take a lot of damage when get hit. So what I would suggest is to pull
one or two enemies that are white or below non-heroic, or one yellow
non-heroic.
(Supporting)
The agro is now on the main tank. Your job (if you aren't the tank) is to
unleash combo after combo to bring the enemy HP as quick as you can. DON'T
overdo it though, as this can lead to the enemy beating on you. On my
40-something warlock, when the main tank had agro, i usually counted to 5
before i started unleashing my spells. This gave the tank plenty of time to
get the monsters really mad at him, and not anybody else. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO
ASSIST!
(Running)
So you miscalulated, and you need an escape route. If you are deep in a
dungeon well, you're pretty much SOL. Gone. Finished. Dead. I say this
because most dungeons have heroics (remember from the FAQ, they're tougher
than they seem) and having about 15 of them chase after you doesn't work out
so well in the end. Maybe you're lucky and some group behind you killed them
all, or the enemies didn't spawn yet. Whatever the case may be, a try could
never hurt.
If you are a priest, you should try to get to a safe place, because they
can revive everybody, then you can get on your way once again.
(Questing)
Questing is the easiest way to level up, make money, and get good items. Look
for these quests everywhere. Check every building (yes, every building)
because you might get a quest that gives a lot of money. Before you head out
to clear your quest book, look at a few things first.
First of all, look at the level of the quest. Blue, green, and grey
quests can be completed solo. If you have any yellow, orange, or red quests;
then those are the quests that you might need to get help from a group or a
high level friend.
The second thing you need to think about is where the quests are located. If
you have a lot of quests for a certain area, try to find a group for the area
because most likely, group members will need the same monsters or named
creature. If they don't, just ask. They will most likely say yes. If not, well
the worst thing they can say is "no" right?
(Grinding)
I would not suggest grinding unless you are very close to leveling, If you are
or choose to grind anyway, i'm not going to stop you. To "grind" you need to
find enemies that you can kill in a short period of time. I would suggest
whites or yellows. If you think you can solo a heroic, do so. Otherwise, stick
with your monster choice and just kill like mad.
----------[Section 6 - Etiquette]----------(s6et)
This is a MMORPG. Meaning that you are playing with other people... with
feelings and emotions. The way you play affects everybody else. Because of
this, on-line etiquette is a must.
DONT - Loot items you don't need.
This is a biggie. You will often be fighting named monsters which drops
very, very good items. The high level group x4 monsters. Warriors can wear
the heaviest armor. But if you can't, DO NOT roll for it. The only exception
is if this warrior doesn't need the item, then you can loot it.
If it's the other way around, and you truly DO need the item, say something
like "I need" or "need" or "can i have?" Most people (if they havent rolled
already) will listen and pass on the item.
DO - Set loot in parties to lotto
This way, no matter what item is picked up, everybody has a chance of winning.
Lotto is the only EVEN way to roll for items. No matter what your level is, no
matter what race you are, no matter what class you are, no matter how good or
bad you play, you have an EVEN chance to win. This creates fewer arguments
and makes a better group.
DONT - Forget to change the options
The default is FREE FOR ALL; unless you change it in your options. If you do
forget however, the other players will remind you to change it. If you still
don't change it, they may just leave the group entirely.
DONT get mad at priests who let you die (unless they wern't doing anything)
If you die when a priest isn't healing you, don't go "..." or "WTF? Why wern't
you healing me?" or "You ran out of mana?" If you die, it's because the other
people wern't doing their jobs, or the monsters were too tough for the group
to handle. Another reason is you did a bad job with agro and the priest had
to waste mana keeping himself alive.
DO - Know what your job is
Simple. If you are a warrior, announce you are pulling a monster, or ask with
a simple rdy? and wait for a priest to say rdy, a mage to say rdy, and another
class. That way, you won't kill the group. And, the most important task of
all; check ALL mana before a fight.
Mage - DONT pull monsters, unless asked to
Mages = low armor. Warrior = high armor... which one will last when being beat
on by 4 heroics? A mage's job is to support the warrior with heavy damage.
But DONT overdo it, or you will build up hate with monsters, then they'll
attack you.
Priest - Heal. Heal. Heal. Heal the tank, buff him, buff the party. Don't
attack ANY monsters in groups. This saves your mana. Exception: Everybody else
is out, and the enemy is low enough on HP, and you think you can kill it;
kill it. This isn't a class where you can slack off in. Your eyes need to be
pretty much glued to the screen. If you see any low health, heal.
Scout - Plummel the enemy with damage... But after the warrior has pulled and
has the agro. Unleash your combos and take down the enemy with your high DPS.
Scouts usually do the best from behind. So don't go walking into enemies to
attack. Stealth, let tank pull, get behind, attack.
Now... typing etiquette
DONT type in all caps
DONT TyPe In MiXeD LeTtErS. ThIs GeTs AnNoYiNg.
DONT type in yell or ooc when in groups. There is a group chat.
DONT beg
DONT overuse lol, rofl, thx, w/e, gtg, etc
DO type with correct grammar and spelling.
DO be nice to players. You will get on friends lists, and make easier groups.
DONT Steal Kills
DONT leave AFK players behind. Thats just mean.
DONT laugh at other peoples' names. Mean once again.
And the most important rule of all. NEVER SPAM!
These people are plain annoying; and will get you added to ignore lists.
Spammers will get added to ignore before you finish reading this sentence.

----------[Section 8 - Extras]----------(s8ex)
---Do's and Dont's of Guild Recruiting---(s8gu)
DO - Adertise your guild in ooc, shout, and the world chat channels.
This should be a no-brainer. You want members in your guild, right?
DONT - Overdo it.
If you do, it might be considered SPAM. Send your message once every five
minutes. Yes, five minutes. It isn't like people get on for 3 minutes at a
time.
DONT - Send guild invites to people who don't want one.
You're playing, and suddenly, a guild invite message pops up. But, you didn't
want one. This makes people mad, and most likely will never join your guild.
DONT - Send tells to people if they want an invite.
This can be annoying too. If people want to be in your guild, then they'll
see your ad on the world chat channels and ask you for an invite that way.
DO - Make sure your ad is good. Here is an example:
"<guild> is now recruting people of all classes and levels. We raid and help
our members. PST to <guild leader or officer on> for more details"
See? Short, sweet, and to the point.
