This guide goes over my reasoning for certain gameplay elements. If you are stuck at 1k DPS in prolonged fights with longbow dragonhunter, this guide should be of use to you. Needless to say, against PPT trains, you will typically reach the top of the arcDPS damage meter if you just follow the idealized rotation in the guide. Good luck and have fun. Questions are more than welcome in the comments.

To those who cannot get a squad
Squads will often restrict the invite to the squad to those only on discord and those who have a "meta build". ([ Ссылка ]) Any of the builds in the "Meta" section is a safe bet unless the squad is completely private guild run. Note that the meta builds are liable to change with balance patches.
Ask for the password to enter the squad if you are on discord, either in chat or on voice and just answer with the right password that the folks on discord give you.


## How to get into discord
Just paste the discord link into your browser, app not required.

EU Alliance Server (player moderated) - [ Ссылка ]
NA Alliance Server (player moderated) - [ Ссылка ]

NA works a little different from EU. NA prefers individual guild discords instead of server discords. You have to ask for the individual guild discord and the rest is the same.


Thanks to Joe, Tails, Inril, Dr Andre, Bill, Kiat, Ryu, Jeff, Luu, Bel, Théo and Ayaya for the feedback on the initial draft videos. Special thanks to Mav for the cage footage and for his feedback. Of course, many thanks to the firebrands and supports in my party as well as the commanders. I will be sending stuff at the end of the year as usual if I can figure out the first few letters in your name since the profession icon obscures your name.
