According to the Joymax SRO site, Europeans are optimized for a party requiring the party play to make up for weaknesses since skill structure doesn’t create much synergy even after learning numerous masteries. Each one is distinctive and role is clearly divided. Unfortunately, not many Europeans know their roles in a party hence this guide is created by Barotix and it provides the information on what each class should do when they’re in a party.

REQUIREMENTS

1. at least 2 tanks
2. 2 nukers, more is excess, if you cant find a nuker xbow rogue works well
3. at least 1 cleric
4. at least 1-2 bards
5. party members should be the same lvl of the pt leader or within 4 lvls of the party leader
6. DON’T move around, pick a place with a high spawn rate and stay there
7. 1 warlock

GOAL

• grind on mobs 9-11 lvls above the average party lvl
• have nuker/s, and healers mp/hp stand in 1 place; while tanks stand ahead of the main dmg/healing group
  • nuker/s should be in front of mp/hp healers
  • tank/s should be further out, close enough to be healed, but not close enough for healers to agro mobs

TANKS
tanks job: tanks MUST use taunt 2 lure mobs NEVER charge or walk towards a mob.

1. make the mob come to you
2. never leave the tanking area
3. if a mob heads for healers/nukers, it should be decided ahead of time which tank will taunt those mobs
4. keeping mobs distracted is top priority
5. always have backup NPC gear, just in case your gear gets damaged
6. only use knock back to protect healers/nukers!! YOU DON’T WANT THE PARTY 2 MOVE!!!

Tank Fighting Style by Foudre

1. Knock Down is something to be used in STR parties, if you have a ton of rogues and warriors and maybe 1 support unit, or no support unit KD is a good thing, it buys you time to repot, and increases damage. if you are in a tight spot and under supported KD is ok because you’ll die other wise
2. Knock Back
   1. KB something very underestimated, and very un taken advantaged of. I find if you KB something all the retarded other warriors and rogues will chase it to no end because they are just button mashing. KB is good TO BUY TIME, knock it away from your party and taunt it, and let all the wizzes dish out the pain and rebash it, no one gets hurt your DUR doesn’t go down as much and since I have my Vital increase anyway just letting it come back to me isn’t sparing it much damage. Now if you do KB and its in the middle of your group go in after it or it’ll hop agro, and KB again till its out of your group.
   2. Very good to save some one, if you see something going towards one of your INTs then KB it, you’ll most likely save them get the agro on you
   3. yes this skill is worth 3 parts, Controlling the fight, KB’s biggest advantage is controlling the fight. It helps you control where you want to fight at, you get a party giant, KB it around until you can keep it in a place where you and your party are safe from anything else and can focus on just the party giant, if you can’t find an empty spot at least a lass dangerous spot, but you can usually get an empty spot. It goes down fast no one gets hurt, every one is happy,
3. STUN. Not much experience with this out side of sub warlock with my 1 hander (I did have an axe warrior but didn’t get very far with him), but it with KB and sleep (should you be sub warlock) give you 3 ways to stop an attack on some one, and time to hit it, advantage to stun over KB, is that depending on the party you can keep the creature where its at instead of bashing and chasing it every where because the party can’t stay under control.

BUFFS

1. Pain Quota. One of the best buffs. 35% less damage taken even if its distributed out the other people only get like 10 damage big woop. It will help keep your party stay alive. USE IT. Even the damage the INTs get aren’t enough to matter to them. Only problem I have with this skill is how short it last, and sometimes forget to rebuff, most of the times I catch myself and rebuff, wish it lasted longer though.
2. Fences. Can’t say much here, as I haven’t have a warrior high enough to use one, my 1 hander is almost there, just sp farming, at 30. But as a past wizard I have to say this skill combined with pain quota saved me a lot when jobbing, I could tank out multiple packs of 5 star spawns and nuke them all dead, and out tank 2 warriors and Chinese STR, I’ve tried the same fights with out the fences and just quota and I died a bit. JUST USE IT
3. Screens. I assume they rock, and should probably be used
4. Vital Increase. Now when to use this differs, if you are in a party that lacks damage dealers then don’t use it, or if you are solo don’t use it. But if you have good damage dealers you should use this skill, and keep them alive since you don’t do that much as it is, not much is lost by dealing less and being able to tank more.

NUKERS/X-BOWS

1. dmg the mobs, you deal the most dmg. atk the mobs the tanks are tanking ONLY. your NOT allowed to atk any other mobs
2. DON’T LURE ANY MOBS!!
3. stand within healing range of tanks, you DON’T belong on the front lines
4. DON’T MOVE!!
5. always have backup NPC gear, just in case your gear gets damaged
6. if tank/s KB mobs out of attacking range don’t atk the mobs let the tank/s

HEALERS/BUFFERS

1. keep the party alive/full of mana DON’T FIGHT!!
2. if someone goes out of range let them die/run out of mana
3. if someone is rude let them die/run out of mana
4. don’t leave the party area to res or heal someone
5. stay put don’t move
6. if tank/s KB mobs until they’re out of healing range don’t move let them die

OVERALL

if you do this your party will lvl VERY fast, and rarely die

EDIT by Philip:

• Dagger Rogues work as a combination of a tank and a damage dealer without dagger desperate on. A rogue can take the place of a tank that is not present, so maybe you can add that too =)

Thank you Foudre, Philip, and Xemnas wrote a cool rogue guide: it has a party section specifically for ROGUES read that if you’re a rogue.
