A manual for Goshawk Newbies * We will do short rounds because she hits very hard and blasts. The goal is to get one or more blasts off from the mages, and then leave to regen. * She is behind a syntax. This means several things. First, no mounts in combat. Second, the team will not automatically follow the party leader into combat. * The party leader (always a tank) goes in first, immediately after a heartbeat. As soon as they go, the other tanks go, and immediately run "pf" to rejoin the party. Mages should follow behind "their" tank, and immediately start their blast. (If the mage goes before their tank, they will die in one wack.) * No leaving the Conifer Forest area. She "pecks your feet" so you can't run out to get buffs and healing from a highbie tarma friend. Let one of the team ress/raise you so you end up back into the area. * She has a special that throws you into the air so you land somewhere in confifer forest unconscious. Anyone who has first aid should run around and look for the unconscious person if this happens. Then use first aid at x to revive them. * Tanks should bring a shield; even a crappy shield will reduce damage from crits, and keep you alive. * Tanks should drop all excess weight, as any extra carried weight reduces defense. Type "parry" and make sure your dodge is as good as you can. * Tanks should set their parry high. * Tarmas will not go into combat. If someone gets thrown, immediately start running around the conifer forest to find them.
