The field manual

Field manual

A squad succeeds together

Ten-player content works when players move and respond as a unit. The squad leader may call a target, a position, a split, or a crowd-control moment. Following those calls quickly is often more important than continuing your own damage rotation.

Your subgroup matters because many boons and healing skills only help nearby party members. Find your subgroup before the first pull and stay close unless you are assigned a mechanic away from the group.

Learning runs are where mastery begins

A learning run has room for mistakes. The useful habit is to name the mechanic that caused a wipe, then change one thing on the next attempt. This keeps improvement clear and prevents the group from becoming overwhelmed.

Respectful communication makes teaching groups stronger. Say what you need, listen to explanations, and help the next learner once you understand the encounter.
