Get ready warriors! Tank and Spank part 1 in session in about an hour and a half. Show up for knowledge on becoming a well rounded, tanking machine!
The last week of April and early May had been exceptionally productive.
Two officers, Devildeliever and Mishafeng, are back on active duty. I'm also looking forward to seeing Acksunum/Slapahotribe back on the active officers roster.
We have new Great Defilers in guild: Lynnsmith, Squishballz, Mishafeng, Vigulfr
New Crystal Conquerors: Frsal, Spartalife
New Haunteds: Lynnsmith, Soraleah, Zaudee, Spartalife, Markrossrogue, Eeely, Jessacloud (Thanks Down for the info.)
I know at least two rogues who leveled to 41 last weekend: Hawkette and Jessacloud
Congratulations and kudos on your achievements, knights! I know there are more achievements made last week when I wasn't on in game. I think Spartalife and Frsal have been busy scoring one AP after another, I'm wondering if these warriors are in competition with each other.
So keep filling the ho-hum days before Goblin event and expansion with achievement runs.
Big, big thanks to everyone who had made the time and effort to help our fellow knights rake up thousands of achievements points. And everyone who had won achievements thanks to help from the Trinity Knights, please return the favor by helping others with their achievements.
What goes around comes around. If you give help now, someone will help you later when you need it. With expansion on the horizon, we need all the helpful friends we can get. So don't hesitate to lend a helping hand.
See you in game, knights.

So here are the notes I compiled from TK Warrior Training Camp last weekend. It might be incomplete (I dc'd a lot in guild hall and when not lagging had pm's to reply), so if you remember more or if I've made errors in quoting, let me know. Thanks!
Taunt Skills (Horn of Renew, Chest Splitter, Windmill, Axe Throw and Juggernaut)
- Juggernaut is the least useful taunt skills. It taunts every 1-2 secs and in that time a mage or rogue only has to shoot once to steal aggro
- But Juggernaut is still useful for survival when tanking difficult bosses
- When tanking difficult bosses like Taurus (T3) don't waste your protective taunt skills (HoR and Juggernaut)
- Use HoR as you approach the enemies, use other taunt skills, then Juggernaut last. By the time Juggernaut goes into cooldown, HoR will be ready again, so repeat the cycle. Using HoR and Juggernaut to bracket other taunt skills may help survivability
- Remember that HoR is for your party, don't spam it so that you have it ready when needed to save/heal
- Use Axe Throw only on boss because it targets only one. Position and time it well because you won't be able to move for a brief period after casting Axe Throw
- If you die while tanking, the first skill to use when you revive is HoR. You have to regain aggro no matter what
Skills Rotations
- Use Skyward Smash, Vengeful Blood, Windmill and HoR on all maps below Nordr elite (normal maps and elite up to Kraken Isles)
- Replace Skyward Smash with Chest Splitter and Vengeful Blood with Juggernaut for elite Nordr through Planar
- Charge all skills but Chest Splitter
Environmentals
- Spam pots when tanking bosses/mobs in poison pool (Ferrix, shadowmancers, Arachna, Ashral Heart, Wraith Heart)
- Juggernaut can help with freezing/stunning (Hately, Frostbite)
- Save HoR for rock falls (Troll Abomination, Taurus)
Mage and Rogue in party
- Mage damage over time (DoT) is one of warrior's biggest enemies on map. A warrior's taunt skills might all be cooling down while mage DoT is still ticking, thus stealing aggro
- Having said that, a clock dropped on trapped mobs can really speed up mob kill
- Rogue trap may help with mobs but at boss, if the trap has pull upgrade better make sure to drop it right under boss. If not, and the trap pulls boss in, warrior may lose aggro
Thank you so much Killerxyler, Vigulfr and Warhorseman for sharing your tips and experience. Also big thanks to Down, Gurukay, and Lynnsmith for helping with the practice runs.
I've been asked by mages when we will be doing mage training. What do you think, knights?
That's why no weeding is allowed. You'll go naked and do silly things!!
Posting this helpful tip from Goodsyntax on warrior role and skills use as additional info and reminder:
Warriors: HP and Armor! You are there to manage aggro and make sure the entire party stays alive. Use your skills (other than Jug) for the benefit of your team. Your job is to always be the last person standing, and to make sure that all mobs want to attack YOU! Make sure you have taunt upgrades on your skills - without taunts, you will not be able to do your job effectively. Keep your party alive and the mobs focused on you and the runs will be smooth.
Horn - It heals, it shields and it can save both you and your party unnecessary deaths. Use this skill appropriately and save it for the right moment. Pot through general damage and save HoR for windup attacks or when you notice party members in trouble. If you see your Sorc/Rogue coming into the group for clock/smoke placement, ensure they stay alive by shielding them with HoR. HoR is most important for boss encounters! A good example of HoR usage is against Algaran. Use HoR if George/Kelvin has their AA on cooldown. This will protect everyone that was pulled from death. Also, with the correct upgrades, HoR taunts. If you notice you are losing control of a mob cluster, HoR will bring them right back to you, so use this skill wisely!
Windmill - This skill is one of the best taunt skills you have. Any mob hit by WM will instantly turn to you. If you see a mob or three breaking out of your control to attack a squishy, move towards those breaking away and tap WM to bring them under your control again. It is worth the skill points to invest in the increased range and extended duration. This helps tremendously with aggro management. Also, while doing a run to boss, use this skill. There is nothing worse for a squishy than being ALMOST at the boss, then getting killed with no way to return to your party.
