1.Exactly what you are trying to do. I need to know the entire situation. Whether it is PVP or Co-op, what kinds of enemies you are facing, what gametype it is in PVP, what the terrain is, etc.

I’m glad to finally have the ear of someone smart enough to help. I myself am also a good strategist at guild wars. But I’m having a lot of trouble breaking the strategy of a certain opponents build. First here is a diagram of the formation. (BTW thanks for pointing out the need for dots, I’ll take that as an indication of the amount of intelligence you have)

.............................. ...............R1
.............................. ..........W1 N W2
.............................. ..........E1 M E2
.............................. ...............R2

They have a trapper ranger guarding the front, and another ranger serving as lookout from the rear. Two warriors form a wall up front along with a necromancer who is raising corpses to form a protective wall. Behind them, they have a monk that is healing the warriors, and two fire elementalists that use fire storm and area of effect spells on anyone who gets through the traps.

The problem is this. I send off someone to attack the rear, and he always gets picked off by a rear sniper. I send my warriors in, but the lead ranger always gives the signal to the rest of the team that someone is coming. We first have to make our way through a swarm of traps to reach them. Our warriors get crippled by barbed traps and blocked by the opponents warriors. Then the fire elementalists finish them off with aoe, and that allows the necromancer to begin raising his minion wall. As if that isn’t bad enough, the two rangers then move to the flanks of the formation; this is the opponent’s formation during the attack.

.............................. ............ (barb trap)......................... ...
.............................. .........../\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
.............................. .........../\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/(firestorms)
.............................. .........../\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
....................-.......................W1....W 2....................-
(barb trap)..-..............R1........E1..M. .E2.........R2.........-
.............-.............................. .....N........................ ...- (barb trap)
...........- .............................. .............................. .......-

At this point I am getting so frustrated with this game. I have already broken two keyboards over this, and a computer monitor. I bought a game; I was not expecting to have to deal with some master strategist or military general. The best approach we tried (we use vent BTW), was to send our monk in to use Heal Area on the warriors as they went through the traps. That kept them alive long enough to get close to the enemy warriors. But after that point, the monk had to stop using Heal Area because it was keeping the enemy warriors alive also. So to prepare for this, we had a necromancer cast Death Nova so that when they died it killed their warriors too.

At the same time, we had our two rangers planting traps up close to protect our formation. But the enemy necromancer began raising minions and they took out the traps. So since we were down a monk and two warriors, we had our two elementalists, and the remaining ranger and the necromancer retreat. One of our elementalists died while running; our first ranger had already died from the rear sniper. So right now the enemy is still in that formation and we don’t know what to do.

Also we are still on vent, awaiting any answer that you can get to us.

I browse forums 24/7, they take up all my time. Because I had the knowledge of Ian Boyd it does mean that I have no life and my life revolves around flaming and bashing others.

You are correct.

Try Dunkoro

A lifetime of experience has made Dunkoro the man he is today: a master strategist who knows his way around Elona. He's a veteran of countless battles against pirates, centaurs, desert raiders, Thumpers, and stranger enemies. With that wisdom has come a realization that he's not the best soldier to lead a charge; instead, he prefers to advise those who do. Not everyone accepts his advice, though. Some claim that he's become too careful with old age, that he's lost the edge that makes him a deadly soldier. Time will tell. For any hero who would hesitate before rushing into battle, Dunkoro would be a valuable ally. If you're willing to listen, he's the man with a plan.
