Part 4 : Overall notes

Commander :
- Highly suggested to have a shield to be able to survive longer then other if your getting attacked
- Having a short word as a nova timing (Click , Now , Bas)
- Observe the killing feed, and learn CZ by the coordinations. So you know where the kills are being made
- Always call the targets, and if anybody speaks above you, take mesures (exept priests, will explain bellow)
- Get more gear then everyone, be the most geared mage in your team, so you know you can survive longer then others
-Remind your followers to use resistences bonus skills and your absolute power skill (fr/lr/2 master)

Followers (other mages) :
- Learn to use w + r .. Click on the commander, hold W and spam R to be able to be on his A$$ 24/7
- Learn the difference between the range of level 60 and 70 nova
- Try to follow the targets has much as possible
- Always drop a nova with the timing the commanding give, if your behind and he calls 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... nova, dont get close just to drop lvl 70 nova, simply drop the level 60 nova
- Delete ''Past Recovery'' as often as possible, needs to be a spammable skill

Priests (buffer) :
- Be quick on cures, priorise cures over heals. (exept if heals are already incomming)
- Keep an eye on the debuffer on the opponent side, if you see he starts a debuff, already start pre-curing
- Tell when to delete Past Recovery (lvl75 heal) to your mages, so they are aware that it's on
- Communicate with the 2nd priest to call who drop the first 10k (when it applies)

Priests (debuffer) :
- Have subside up as much as possible
- Use ''Group parasite'' when the commander is at ''1'' in your countdown, so the opponent get parasited right before they get hit by novas
- Keep the priests parasited as much as possible
- NEVER EVER USE TORMENT, TORMENT DON'T AFFECT MAGE DAMAGE

Party-Wise :
- Have the commander as the party leader (makes following easier)
- Have the priests at the end of the party (makes teleporting easier)
- Only the commander teleport the players that are dead
- Have a set player that will teleport the commander if he dies

PS. Feel free to reply with adds to the guide. I wrote everything I was aware of and played with that was efficient.

Since i have no idea on mages, I'll skip to the priest parts and have 2 quick questions here:



Why should I invest 10 stats to dex? See my stats here:
https://www.titan.maxko.org/?page=char&id=Tenar



Missing master 10 skill is not considered a negative point? I think it matters a lot to survive. If pri is dead = others dead. Simple. Don't you think?

The 10 dex was primal when i created the char, keep dex as low as possible.

Difference between 5 master and 10 master is only 5% priority should be heal before tank. Your a mage party, you die, you simply get tp back and move on. Mage party well played should never go back to town, exept if their killed by another mage party.

Mage party logic : Die more then melee, aim for big kill feeds. i’ll send you some vids once I get home.

Maybe you created male priest char and it had 10 dex more.

And for master 10, i see your point. Waiting for the vids then.

Sent you videos threw PM, so it doesn't pass as advertisments
