Usage

• Depending on your opposing team, the warriors should be doing:

• Caster spikes - Train the spikers off, two warriors on a target should be fine. Sending your pets into obvious AoE works well.
• R spike - As the pets will not be dying very fast, work the caller or part of the backline down. DP out as many players as possible. Rangers can ruin D Chop with D Shot.
• General/balanced - One warrior linebacks, one keeps the PnH/LC busy, and the other alternate between backline/support.

• Ele's use Ether Prism as anti-spike, as well as great energy management. Keep spirits up. Weapon of Warding when called for.
• PnH heavily hexed/conditioned allies. SoC for anti-interrupts. Use "Make Haste!" when called for.
