Alsius hunters primary requirement is to above all protect the realm. I rarely leave alsius with my hunter and I spend most of my time going from gate->trelle->pp->pinos market->orc camp. This is the same for our entire clan...and it is actually a requirement to be in the alsius hunters...realm first.

Oh...and If our team-play ever picked back up you better believe I'd drop my pet and become that sneaky rep shot delivering hunter I was once known for. But alas....one rep shot only gets me killed

Wow, lots of good points here. Some of it, I never thought of. I am fairly new to RO (since April) and have managed to get two of my charecters to 50th lvl. (hunter and a conjur)

Being a support conjur there are some problems that may lead to many of the points made here in the forum.

IN THE FORT

If you come in the fort to get healed, don't stand in the middle of the group. Spread out, much easier to get a click on you. I will heal you, may take a minute, but I WILL do it. Also, don't ask for DI, wait 5 seconds, then go out the door. Many times my DI has been ruined because the warrior who asked for it did not wait for mine to cool.

COORDINATION

Funny that a realm that is the smallest in numbers is talking about team play. Imagine being in my realm! There are so many of us sometimes I can't even keep track of who I did DI/bless weapon/etc. to. IF any realm has a chance at team play, I'd say the snow folks would have the easiest time with that. If you guys can't play as a team, then I guess its impossible for Sytris to do it. Sometimes, we can't even get a group of 7 to stay together, especially when I watch our hunters and barbs get WAY far in front of me. Then they get killed just as I catch up!

SO HERE IS WHAT I DO

I will heal if you are 20th OR if your 50th. To me, this is a RPG game, I will rez or heal anyone at anytime reguardless if they want it or not. (ex. someone leveling) I'm a healer, its what I do. Conjurs are first on my priority list to rez, but after that, its whoever is closest to me. I don't have time to check to see who is 50th and who is not. But! If two are laying dead in front of me, I will pick the one that suites the battle best. Most of the time, its the one that is higher level.

I also keep my dispells on lvl 5. This is the best way I've found to keep from getting trampled in a stampede. (unless I get caught in the enemy areas) I love the feeling of standing a group back on thier feet after Ignis has layed them out with 3 area spells.

Last but not least, STAY CLOSE TO THE FORT! Stop chasing when the enemy retreats. I can't heal you if you are out of range.

Just my spellweaving perspective.....Happy Halloween!

I remember that old Comp.

Lycra you are being a bit harsh on the hunters of Alsius. I see some of them doing the job quite good or at least trying (I'm thinking of Wudy, Compost, xio, and some others). I saw you the other day (you might remember my hunter "dracus"). I was tracking someone else that the reason you lived. At your level I wouldn't wonder Alsius WZ alone.

Compoundious, next time you want to launch a repetition shot, warn me. I'll rush first and distract them so they are fighting em when you suddenly appear out of camouflage.

I have a few ideas too, but then i have to get back to my old active self and a few warlocks would be needed (that class is on the verge of extinction).

I'll change my knight setup today, since we might get quite good tank team action soon

Team-play isn't completely gone, on those rare occasions when a war party consists of atleast 75% good (and above lvl 45), not totaly RP horny players then there's okay team-play.

Yea I noticed yesturday when i was near the Gate, teapot was doing a great
job in helping to defend the lower lvls against a large party of greens.

Edit: after my extended break from the game, i have noticed that the teamplay had actually improved on what it used to be, everyone pulled together and made the gameplay quite enjoyable.

I agree the team play must be better.

On conjos, I level as a warjuror because its quicker but reset for war to lots of healing and mana - many more RP that way.

The problem usually is that all the hunters and warrior run off in a frenzy and forget the healers who get slammed by the SOTW'd hunters and buffed up barbs. I know in my clan is styris the rule is hit the conjos first. If you want us to heal and buff, protect us! We have low HP, low damage without a summon and are slow.

SC from a lower lvl barb takes out a lvl41 conjo in one hit. When it's Yoseba we die twice.
