Some notes I have been jotting down..
Set your pots to like 90% 1secs
Get at least 2k of the best pots
Bring bonus dmg necks and scorp pets
Get a set of buffs turtle/tiger to keep in your bag to rebuff yourself after you die
Get a battery if you can
Get a skysong def buff
When you enter TW all buffs get stripped, so don't bother buffing up outside at the flag
Party leaders need to make their parties ASAP upon entering TW
vims need to buff dps/aoers and the tanks for hp buff
Skysongs need to keep their parties buffed at all times
Top priority for skysongs and celans on the battlefield is to rez each other first!
Speak in common chat if you need rez and your party rezzer is dead
During the hour of TW, ally chat MUST be kept clear of all banter that is not part of the TW
RAMS/BEETLES
Use your buffs before you transform
Pot up your hp after you transform
Place the skills and pots on hotkeys for spamming
Beetles have a special speed with invisibility buff use this to get around fast and escape mobs, have 2 attack skills
Rams are slow, clunky and vulnerable, have 2 attack skills
Duration of transformation is 20 minutes
When attacking towers as a machine turn on your esper
You can't use any of your faction skills while transformed
Formations for while on the move shall be: scout, then aoers in front, skysong in middle and machines slightly behind
Always ALWAYS stay with your party.
IF all aoers and rezzers get wiped out machines need pull off towers and run as fast and safely as you can back to base to regroup you are vulnerable and will die with no one there to defend you
AOE target the towers when our machines are attacking them
SCOUTS/CRYSTALS
Scout basically run a little ahead to check for mob movements and relay this information back to the team
On the mini-map mobs are seen as blue dots
6 Crystals will spawn at the start of the TW and every 10 minutes for I believe 3 rounds
There will be an internal system message to announce the spawn of crystals
Subsequent crystal spawns will be picked by the designated teammate and given to the tanks as they need to re-transform after death or timed out
First round of crystals will be picked by the rams and 2 are need to set the defender towers at base
