When keep is under attack what do we do to defend it best?
First we need to get some defenders in the keep. How do we do it?
1. Make a suicide run to gatekeeper and hope we get in. If not we have to release, because noone can't rezz anyone dead next to gatekeeper.
2. Do /who breifine or what ever area the keep is in, ask those people allready there who you believe are in keep, if there's rezzer inside and go to either side of the keep, pull enemies there and try to take as many out as possible (None usually) leaving you dead on the side of keep where you can be rezzed easily.
3. Go to a nearby keep, ask everyone possible to come there and after waiting 30-60 min for people to gather there, you just outflank attackers and when all of them are dead you click gatekeeper and go in keep to rezz the few defenders who at this point are all dead and frustrated.
Ok, now we're inside keep and enemies are pounding the first door. What shall we do now to hurt the attackers most?
1. Ask people to come help in as chat, guild chat, do /who connacht, /who derg and /who gorge and personally ask
everyone there to gather to nearby keep to make a counter attack or to try to get inside keep.
2. Try to make groups with people inside the keep which can give the group bladeturn, mana regen and other usefull utilities.
3. Everyone able to use ranged attacks does so to demoralize the attackers and make them retreat and use their mana for healing and rezzing.
4. Ask people to bring wood so we we can upgrade doors, upgrade them and upgrade also guards. This does require for certain people to be in this keep though and certain material resources too which are not allways available. Should everyone carry wood with them?
5. Heal and rezz our own people and try not to die too much and hide if you're targetted.
1st door down. Now we can try to stop the people pounding 2nd door. Do we
1. pbaoe next to door.
2. Go melee thru door.
3. Repair door. Did we bring wood?
2nd door is going out any minute now. Did we lose this allready?
1. Go to lord room and wait enemy to charge there.
2. Mezz enemies while thery charge thru door and slowly retreat to lord room
3. Retreat to lord room and make silly charges enemy from there.
For each class the tactics and roles they play most effectively are a lot different. Void nuker should propably try to get aoe nukes off from keep wall and in the stairs up to lord room and pbaoer should try to get 'em off at door and in lord room.
What seems to be the most effective way for your class to do in keep defence?
As a hero I can guard players in my group, I'll guard that mage who can be dropped with 1 arrow. I play as a dummy target at keep wall so attackers will waste their time targetting me who they propably can't kill if I'm full hp if I retreat soon enough they start their attacks. I pester mages and archers with my feeble bow, keeping them busy with my arrows instead of them killing people on walls and occasionally killing a few enemies when I get lucky and enemies are too busy to retreat from my range so enemy healers have to waste mana rezzing that one. When I spot a stealther on walls I slam stun him so he sticks around long enought that he can be killed. (OMG did I try that slam stun with my bow again. Why can't I learn to change weapons faster.)
After doors go down I find you should get inside lord room and when the enemies start pouring up the best thing I can do is slam stun them on their track so they can be aoe nuked there.
Ok gotta go eat my lunch at work now. These were my 2 cents for keep defence. Let the discussion begin.
