Stay in heal, don't run back/too-far-away from mobs

Find a guild, and do/learn dungeons with them instead of joining a random pug

For DDs;

You have second bar. If you are a stamina build, it is good to have a bow on the back bar and start with a bow aoe. This will increase your DPS. Caltrops is also another added value.

So it is like: Endless hail + caltrops / switch to main bar

Keep the boss in the aoe.

1. Play as orc
2. Get kicked from every dungeon party for being too sonic
3. Cry
4. profit?

1) Please learn to dodge

2) if you have aggro you can't handle, don't run away from the group. Run towards the tank.

Do not think you have to be a Templar to heal. And don't think you have to pick a magicka race to heal. I think every class and every race can heal.

When healer moves behind you, don't bounce about from side to side, don't try to stay behind healer. When a healer is directly behind you, they're in control of things and it's likely you're about to be given a buff. Don't fret, bask in the honour of being their current focus and say hello to better performance!

In general, a resto staff healer will throw up ground AOE's where they expect you to be standing. They might scatter them over a red area when they anticipate that people will temporarily be inside of them, and more likely half in/half out of red areas. That means they're trying to save you as you exit the area, not that you should stand inside it.

When healer is spamming some AOE healing spell on one particular area, get inside it. There are some bosses that will have periods of insane damage output (usually towards the end of an encounter) and the healer can only keep everyone alive if they're standing next to one another. This is the one situation in which you can stand in red stuff. If you all wipe, then absolutely blame the healer for indicating you should be standing there. A frequent scenario is that DPS run off somewhere and wipe, and healer/tank are left standing next to the boss and have to finish the encounter between them. This is usually the cause of missing out on that "No deaths" achievement for a dungeon.

It's not always clear where areas of healing are (dungeons suffer from an overload of fancy graphical effects). If you're in doubt of where to stand at certain times, ask.

Don't queue for vet dungeons if you're not actually a DPS. Lots of people select DPS as meaning "I don't tank or heal", which it doesn't. It means "I do loads of yummy damage". I'm not going to advise not queueing below certain vet levels because I've breezed through dungeons with low level vet DPSs and struggled with v600 DPSs (or v630 after today, I'd imagine). You'll be scaled up anyway. However, I will say that some dungeons (the DLC ones) can be impossible with two low level veteran DPSs. Depending. If you get into one of those as a low-level veteran, you'll mostly be being carried. That's why you get insta-kicked (whether such kicks are necessary or fair, I won't speculate on).

Tanks

When someone fires off an ultimate, don't drag mobs/bosses elsewhere.

Keep bosses facing away from group where possible.

If you don't know what a taunt is, you're not a tank. It takes 30 seconds to learn what a taunt is, so learn. Congratulations, you're a step closer to being a tank.

Healers

You're awesome.

Everyone

When there's a boss mechanic whereby every appears to get their own red circle that follows them around, scatter! Stacking these individual red circles on top of one another doubles, triples or quadruples the amount of damage you'll take. Individually, you'll have a good chance of surviving and healer should save you if you struggle to. That's if you don't scatter out of range, of course.

You can see which party members you're in range of by keeping an eye on the group health bars. Any party member who's greyed-out/has alpha transparency isn't currently in range of you. If that's the healer, you're out of range of their automatically targetted skills and maybe their ground/area targetted skilled too (if you're far enough). Try to stay in range of healer.

Don't expend time/resources on resurrecting somewhere who's determined to die at every opportunity. You're already having to do things as a three-person group, don't reduce that to two.

Prioritise resurrection of Tank/Healer over DPS. You'll quickly learn which after a death or two - some tanks are awesome survivors and getting them up again ASAP can buy precious time to get everyone else up. Some tanks really, really need a healer with them to survive - get healer up ASAP. A healer should be able to keep themself alive for a respectable amount of time (sometimes indefinitely, depending on encounter).

Worship the healer. Occasionally a blood sacrifice will be required. It's an honour, truly.

"Hey, look, a cave. I wonder what's inside."

1) Always let the tank get the first hit on a mob
2) Make sure to let the tank get the first hit on a mob at all times
3) Same as 1)
4) Oh and don't spam the same single target ability

My advice for everyone.

if you pug you will deal with the mutant offspring of LoL and call of duty players.

LoL is a cancer upon the gaming world.
