Last night we had an entire guild warband on ventrilo, calling out targets for focus fire and working to build morale for morale bombing. After a while, things started becoming clearer in how Mythic intended the battles to be waged. The use of morale combinations between tanks, DPS, and healers was already clear, so in using those the door opened for newer nastier strategies to be implemented.
We started using our focus fire system, which immediately made us powerful enough to wipe any Order WB that was running around, and in 2 cases we wiped a WB and a half. Yet there were still gaps in our organization that I could see. Playing for a few hours and dwelling on these items leads to one of those nights where your dreams are restless and filled with visions of spell-casting and personnel positioning.
Without giving spoilers to our adversaries, I’d say I dreamt up a few micro-strategies to work into our ORVR Warband strategies. Punting stunties in cooperation, rifts timed before morale bombs, assist chains mixing in detaunts on melee chain targets, shattered shadows to keep the Order melee / ranged separation distinct, tanks rotating AE taunts, etc.
These are all easily done with vent, and the team we have is very capable of executing everything in sync. When the ventrilo channel sounds like a military war room, I get a warm fuzzy feeling. The drums of WAR sound to a 24 headed bloodthirsty beast.
