Shared Topic: What you need to know about [Class]

Phaelia Thursday, 24th of July 2008 at 03:17:31 PM

This week’s Shared Topic is brought to you by Aos of Flux and encourages blog authors to write a primer of things to know about their class. To quote the original post where he describes his idea:

It’s a conversation with you and someone who doesn’t want to know your class specifics. They just want to know what they need to do when they are in a party or raid with you.

For example:

• Tanks could highlight how easy or difficult they are to heal, how much initial or long term aggro they build, their essential specials abilities, or their tanking role.
• Healers could highlight aggro dumping or lack of it, ability to deal with spike healing or overall healing and mana efficiency. Or anything else you value.
• DPS could highlight aggro dumping, positioning, special abilities, or even how important their group buffs are.

It’s up to you.
