Recently we have been trying to gather for Alliance Battles on Tuesday nights. It's been alot of fun, especially when we're on the TS server. One draw back to this is limited party size (4) of Scouts even though the alliance consists of twelve...  . But none the less it is a welcome break from grinding PvE missions or mapping for titles. During these battles I have realized that I know little about the various builds being used by the rangers these days....mainly because I have only scratched the surface of Factions and Nightfall and don't have many of the skills being used in the latest builds. Soooo....to stop beating around the bush....here is what I'm asking: I'd like to become a better Ranger... - I'm hoping to form some groups to run through some of the missions, capping along the way, in both Factions and Nightfall. A little here and a little there whenever there are free peeps that can spare some time... ;D
- I'd also like to organize some "Scrimmage battles" amongst ourselves (4 vs 4, 6 vs 6 whatever) to test different builds against different classes. Nothing competitive, just for training purposes. In these battles I'd like NOT to separate the chat in TS because it takes away from the actually learning and turns it into competing. We can do the competing stuff also...but that's not what I'm asking for here...
These battles (which we've started doing regularly) are alot of fun...  and perhaps can lead to a fun event in the future...ie. "Alliance Scrimmage Night" or later "GvG Weekend". But for now they make for great AB practice. I just need some pointers and skills....lol
So...let me know what you think. Hadus |

Well, first I think you're a nut but that's besides the point here...LOL..No, really Hadus, I would love to help you get through NF so you can get your elite skill that you so desperately need. I also need to finish running my monk to the end as well. I think the scrimmage battle are fun if I could once get on a winning team...LOL....  ..I'm trying my best but Zalis keeps picking on poor little me..... ... right Zalis...  So, as for you Hadus, when is a good time to start running your ranger through NF?  [glow=pink,8,300]Angel.........  [/glow] |

Hadus I'm always ready to join in a mission group. Factions or Night Fall, whichever route you choose. Just give a shout in-game.  I have had fun in the Scrimmages as well. While both teams in the same chat room is fun, I'm not sure how much actual learning you will achieve since not much real strategy can be used, plus it can be confusing as hell, but I suppose that leads to the fun.  |

I guess my thought was in knowing what builds the other team is using....which of my skills in a particular build are effective against certain classes and what others are doing to counter them. Just general on the fly feed back that can't be replaced by waiting 4 hours later to try it again with something else....and then not knowing if the opponents already countered again  *shrug - if the feed back proves unhelpful then it's easy enough to seperate the chats.... ;D |

LOL...Jaxx can you delete that last picture ::)the one where Zalis is dancing. I have to say the only reason they won was because I was not paying attention and the rangers up top got me.... [glow=pink,7,300]Angel..... [/glow] |

I would just like to say my mesmer never killed anyone. Its not my fault if they persist with trying to attack with empathy on them.
