abstract
  • Classes: Any Initially, the Leader will be the character that started the group, but often the role is passed to another if they have better knowledge of the instance. The Leader charts the path through the Instance, decides when Pulls should be made, and makes sure that everyone else in the group knows what role they're expected to play and is ready to play it. The leader also plans the battles by using target markers. A leader ideally has considerable prior experience running the instance. The best leaders know by heart what every single pull consists of and an effective way to take the pull out and move to the next one, as well as to expect the unexpected during the fight and communicate to the group a strategy to deal with it if it happens. Often the tank is selected as party leader in the absence of another significantly more qualified member. This has several advantages - the tank is usually at the front when the group is moving forward; the tank is almost always the puller in 5-man groups so will naturally set the pace and plan pulls; also if unexpected extra enemies arrive the tank can pick them up, start building threat on one and mark it as the kill target with less room for confusion.
