This post is for essential GW knowledge. If I've left something out, please, add on.
COMMUNICATION
______________________________
It is important to understand where your messages are going and where other's are coming from. There are five channels of communication, all with hotkeys. They Are:
! - Local Chat. Talk to everybody in the same zone as you
@ - Guild Chat. Talk to all guild members currently online
# - Team Chat. Talk to anybody you are grouped with
$ - Trade Chat. Buy and sell goods.
" - Whisper. Send a message to a specific person.
To quickly reply to the last person who sent you a whisper, press Backspace.
AGGRO BUBBLE
_________________________________
This is the white area surrounding you in the center of the radar. This 'bubble' marks the exact distance at which enemys go aggro. So if theres some monsters you dont want to fight, keep them out of the aggro bubble!
REPORTING CONDITIONS
_________________________________
While holding the CTRL button, you can click on your Exp, Health, and Energy bars to report their status to the team. You can also click on Hex's, Enchantments, and use the CTRL button to declair targets or spells.
When running low on energy, Casters/Healers should use this to let the team know that it is time to rest. When the energy bar is full again, it is a quick way to inform everyone that you are once again ready to roll.
I always use this to declair when I am resurecting someone, as the spell lasts a long time, and this prevents two people from wasting valuable time during battle.
RUNES
_________________________________
Only thing I really have to say here (that many dont know), is that you can only use one rune of one attribute at a time. For example, if you are using two runes of minor vigor, one of them is going to waste.
