Dancing with the zergs for melees and range basic.

Here's a few basic tips you should know in order to dance with the zerg properly.

  • Saffron bread
  • leaping skills
  • sigil of energy for dodging
  • situational awareness.
Why saffron bread? Because zergs usually have stunners, and if you're stunned it'll be painful, but with saffron you'll have 20% reduction on enemy damage as well as constant -20% condition duration. It is a cheap food but does the job.
 
Why leaping skills? Because when engaging to or from the enemy you will need some form of mobility to reach them or get away from them; so leap skills come into play of which will allow you to get behind or away from the enemy zerg front lines.
 
Why sigil of energy? Because this sigil, for a few seconds cooldown allows you to double dodge against the enemy's attacks. What won't hit you makes you stronger.
 
Why situational awareness? Because if you know what to do, you can react and do the right thing without panicking and survive. I recorded this video with my run with the mailed fist crew and you will see my dodging, leaping, moving around safely against the enemy zerg. Try it. It's easy to do this alone but leading a few people to do it isn't easy which is why I wrote this and made the video; so everyone in our server can dance with the zergs safely and kill the enemy without fear.

The first video is for melee and the second is for range players. The basics are similar except when it comes to range it's better to dodge around at the edges rather than jump in the middle, and let your damage hit where the melee players are.

As a range player it's best not do stomp the enemy, instead use your range to nip their hp to the defeated state.

I usually run with my fist krewe. We train together but we also accept anyone who's willing to run with us. No team composition necessary just learning about how to play your character based on the melee or range zerg dancer's template. Give me a pm if you see us running havoc.
