Here is my real piece of advice for all harmode players.
Don't consider my last post, I must have been mistaken Here is my real piece of advice for all harmode players.
- Don't let the med kits on the grass... they may look nice, but it's better if you use them. When you see the healer is hit, don't wait for him to call heal and take the lead. Let tomes on the ground, crossbowmen and archers can juggle them while shooting.
- Archers, you can pick up Nord Rangers'arrows to refill instantaneously ! No need to keep 2 quivers permanently. Melee weapon, bow and 1 quiver ; In your last slot you can carry something else e.g. medic kits, or let it free to transport/juggle items. If you choose the latter, remember to pick up any item before taking a ranger's quiver, otherwise you will just get a new quiver of bodkin arrows :p
- Watch the rest of the team ! They are friends, not contestants. Make sure you don't stand in front of ranged guys or lure enemies, the entire team can loose just because you were away from the shieldwall at the beginning of the wave.
- Sharpshooters are almost as effective as commandos in both slashing and shielding, so you must be ready to replace a dead commando at any time. Archers can't do that without difficulty... but then can blow up barrels when the camping position is overwhelmed. Preferably hit them at melee so that other players can foresee your intention and don't blow up another barrel meanwhile. Pikemen must be able to attack quickly where they are needed, not only behind the shieldwall.
- Don't always expect good players to give you their gear... They are nice if they do so, but don't consider it a due. If you ask for, ask politely.
