Warsong

I usually do just group by group. Usually everyone in squad can handle 2~3 dinos aoe. I don't pull more because off the continuous seals it's hard to keep aggro on everything, and in random squads the bm/archer/wizzie/psy that grabs aggro on more then 1 group will die.

Usually I just invoke > bestial rage while run in group > alpha male and run back > make sure to run past the cleric bb'ing so nobody gets out of range for DD'ing > get back to mobs and try to cast roar between seals > frighten. Depending on the squads damage output I will toss in sunder, keep the thoughest mobs on me (sac assault/increased att/etc) or just go to get the next group. I usually get the 3 groups to start, then cleric moves bb to the first pavillion thingy, I get the next groups then move to boss.

Sometimes ranged mag classes pull groups with an aoe. If they want, I'll let them ofc. If you don't have alpha male, it's easier for you if they do the pull and you just catch (the seals makes it a pain to aggro with roar). The easiest is to have a psy in squad though, because you can simply run back and fort to get mobs. Just keep in mind SoV is an mp drain unless it's sage xD

Fire is actually harder because it requires some more "skills" then just spam aoe in bb. A lot depends on the squad for me. Usually I just go group by group, trying to hold aggro and debuffing the mobs attack (frighten + sage roar). If the DD know what to do it's easy, if not you better have a cleric with good hp and defences b:laugh I always assume (as I do so myself on sin) that the squad tries to stun and take out the skull-pyrodudes as soon as possible. If you're not sure, the safest way is to pull a few of the skull-pyrodudes so you never have more then 1 of those per group.

TBH this post was first before i put mine up , it reminded me that i meant to post it

As a barb after the pavillions just pull the girls out to the DD's (usually a Sin/BM/Seeker)

in the squad the cleric heals. then i run up and roar at the Dinos.

Repeat till you reach snake, we pull him off his little area to the "hall way"

and after I take Arago Cleric BB's and we kill it

wam bam done.

The only reason we pull him off of his little area is to setup the way we want to

i use to pull half way of groups, but when my sqd has a bm and a r9 seeker or archer i pull the entire road, i start with bestial rage > invoke > (with luck the bm will stun)demon sunder > ToP+arma > random aoes (slam, surf, swell, etc..)

try to sinchronize the arma with hf, ask for the archer to use BoA or seeker use vortex, if you don't have bm the venos can use nova to give you time and get the aggro, if invoke goes off before you kill em all, get solid shield/AD

hope it helps.

It optional to pull the runners one by one. It will usually slow down the progress. It's better pull every mob in one single pull.

Method (1): Dive in and pull
Conventional way is to invoke and run through the mobs: use alpha male and run back to BB.

Method (2): Someone else will pull
A long large user will throw an AOE on the mobs and run back into BB. Barb's job is to 'catch' the mobs with roar or alpha male. Since you will be already in BB, no need to invoke: use the extra 2 sparks to throw an arma.

Method (3): Pull the mobs yourself, using a long range attack
Either use Bramble rage on the mobs (25m range genie skill) or use Berserker Rage (lvl80 morai skill - 35m range). Catch the mobs yourself.

For random squad, better ask them wherever they want you to pull or not... and usually, better pull one group at a time. Once you get good friends and a good plan, you can pull more than a group.

I almost never join random squads for (anything) BH Warsong partially because I don't really know what's expected of me there...

I've seen people lure the Broadblade Runner mobs that seal a lot, and then the barb aggros the group, kill, repeat. I've also seen barbs pull all the mobs along the first path, and then pull other groups too. The second way sounds much more fun... I have tried it twice now. First time everyone but the Cleric and I died, ups. Second time went much better, but I wasn't able to pull the rest of the mobs at once...

So what do other barbs do in Warsong? Like what skills (native/genie/apoth), when, and in what order? Also do you talk to the squad beforehand and decide which way people prefer or do you just go 'Hey I'm pulling everything b:mischievous'?

Thanks. Tips for Cannon's path would be nice too.

Stay out of the seekers wayb:laugh

what I usually do in warsong as a barb is take a group by group at a time. I would cast invoke the spirit, run in use a movement debufff pot, violent triumph or AD then roar as fast as possible to aggro the group then bring to BB for my DD's to aoe. Takes about 40 secs or less to eliminate a group. This is what I do for the mob part. For the boss part I ream and alacrity and sometimes devour, when I see HF I arma and ToP or let BB heal your wounds from arma. If you lose aggro and the DD takes too much damage, play a little aggro ping pong. The metal boss aoes anyway. That was the metal part, for the fire part, almost the same thing but less debuffs, do the same thing you did for the metal mobs. On to the fire boss, after the mobs have been defeated I would run to the boss ream him and drag him back to the BB spot. He'll cast an aoe that drains mana but he's pretty simple really, again if your DD takes aggro and takes too much damage, play some aggro ping pong.
