GAME FACE Episode 1: Common Mistakes in The Black Garden

So I'm starting a weekly (hopefully) blog called GAME FACE and this week's episode, the FIRST episode, covers common mistakes in The Black Garden.

I mainly noticed these things, well, let's be honest... I noticed these things in beta, but it was highlighted when I was doing my last Healing 101 guide (episode 4) and I had to run multiple times through in order to get footage.

1.) Everyone fights because they're trying to just get to the fang.

2.) That warrior is in your "backfield" waiting for someone to be stupid and pass him up. You're a dead healer if you let a warrior get behind you.

3.) If you're taking the fang out of the center, you're doing it wrong. If you can't stay at least near the black area, your healers aren't doing their jobs.

Don't blame the DPS if the healers can't keep up. That's most of the Guardian's major problems in Black Garden.

@HirshelBauer 1) Everyone was fighting while no one was trying to get the fang (but us). That was the point. 2) I've never had a problem with warriors 3) The point of the game isn't to win in "x" amount of minutes, it's to get the most points. If that means safe > sorry then so be it. Keep in mind, this is referencing PUG groups, not premades =)

Pokket, are you really a keyboardturner!?

[PokketProductions]

@zbo1 I mainly use the mouse for movement controls, but sometimes when I am switching between names on the raid frames I will use the keyboard if I need to turn/run in a different direction... sometimes... =)

see, i try to run behind the tree and then my healers rage and scream about LOS lol. plus we are usually losing so bad that i just stay in the middle and try to rack up some points to prevent complete embarrassment lol. My rage in the Codex happens when everyone splits up and focuses on every point BUT the codex...it's called The Codex for a reason, folks lol.

[PokketProductions]

@RancidShamble Then they are bad healers if they don't stay near/behind you. I always follow the fang carriers around. It's their job to run and my job to heal them as they run.
