Another interesting expansion teaser...

It's my sad duty to report a grevious violation of guild rules. Indecent shaking of ones buttocks in a public place.
So after last Sunday Trivia we took pics of guildies with some achievement titles.
The Hammers who had made sashimi out of elite Bloodhammer in Skull Cove.
The Techno Vikings who had slain elite Grimnr.
The Troll Banes who had bested Trulle in TDM Forest.
The Crystal Conquerers who had broken the Ashral Heart.
The Beastmasters, keepers of Arlorian zoo.
The Tranquils who had fetched up with enraged Arena bosses and kept their cool.
Dimensional Gladiators, who had fought every Arena bosses including that noob Challenger.
Planeswalkers who had walked the Planar Tombs and lived to tell the tales.
The Great Defilers, who had broken the elite dragon egg in Tindirin and made one hell of an omelette.
Collectors of over 15k achievement points, so Infamous they make enemies flee when they enter map.
Anyway, these pics make me proud, determined, hopeful and excited.
I'm proud because I know Trinity Knights have worked together for these titles. They've been mostly won by all-knight parties fighting to help each other make these achievements. We don't make these titles criteria for joining, we help our fellow knights get them.
But I'm also concerned by how few of us have these titles. It's true that not all of us who have these achievement titles were present for trivia, while others were only in the pics with their main, while their alts also have these achievements. And yet, out of those who were in guild hall last Sunday, only these handful were in the pics.
So I'm determined to get more of us get these achievements and titles. Achievements are goals that will keep us busy in game. Why work so hard to get to lvl 41 just to sit around in cities chatting on gc? Don't farm and merch just for the sake of making gold; do it so you can have good gear, pets, ankhs and elixirs for achievement runs. Don't chat on gc just for socializing; do it to make friends for achievement party runs. Start a run, or join when a guildmate ask for one. Do your best. And if you fail, find a way to get better, try again. That should give us something to do while waiting for expansion.
I am also hopeful that everyone who I and the officers have helped to get their achievements will now pay it forward and help other knights get theirs. We are soon going to make Infamous an officer promotion requirement. But more than that, in true Trinity Knights tradition, I and the officers will observe you for how helpful you are, how friendly, supportive and mature you are on maps while working with other knights, how skilled and knowledgeable you are.
So don't hesitate to tell me, the officers and your fellow knights what achievements you need. We will try to help you as best as we can. And in return, help other guildmates with their achievements.
Keep those APs coming, knights. Let's get Infamous.
After a very long long long long time...
1350 aps away from INFAMOUS!!!

Woo-hoo! Wish I still had my toon because I would have totally helped with this!
Good luck guys :-)
FYI - Biggest pulls in game that I've encountered are:
Shuyal - Forest Breach (the Legendary 3 pull) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAOWOg8PeJs Starts at 6:30
Tindirin - Jagged Trail (Big 4 pull) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzrXAP_YdKU
Tindirin - Caves of Tarewea (HUGE 3 pull) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hu4N6vIZKk
Tindirin - Rockhorn Summit (Intense 5 pull) - I can't seem to find any of the videos on the 5 pull :-(

Retired Officer of <Elite Runners>
Elite Chronicles: Solo guides for elite maps - No longer maintained
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.

Greatz Hawkette and Jessacloud for completing the long journey of level 40 to 41. I know how boring it is to run again and again wt4. Greatz !

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?
