Legion of Medb

Information Page

This page has been put together to help you understand the way the Legion of Medb works, we are a small guild and our aim is to grow numbers and levels so that, one day, the high level raid instances will be achievable.

Guild Help in Buying Your Mount

When you reach level 40 you are able to purchase a mount for riding, this can be costly and the guild would like to support you in that purchase. We have a whip around from the guild and it works best it everyone contributes. Then when it's your turn the same will happen for you... please notr only one mount per player can be helped (not for your alts for example). About 2-3g each is helpful.

The Buddy System

A system is in place for you to get support from within the Guild, the idea is that a high level member will asisist a lower level member on a regular basis. So that thelower level character can level quickly and efficiently. In turn that lower level character can assist someone lower than them.

The high level character is the Knight and the lower level member is the Squire. See Table

If you don't have a buddy in this way then please contact one of the Guild Officers.

Add Ons - Guild Event Manager

We would like all Guild members to use the Guild Event Manager (GEM) tool, it will help people to see what instances have been planned and will allow you to sign up for them if you can participate.

An Add On pack has been created which includes GEM, please download it and install. For help contact Shovaa/Tokra.

More information here.

GEM can be dowloaded as a separate addon here. Also, please install the GuildMEDB addon from here, this will update your guild note with your skills automatically. Unzip these files and put the resulting folder in the <WoW Directory>/Interface/Addons folder.

If we have missed out your favourite addon, please let us know so we can include it. I am currently researching some enchanting addons any ideas?

What is a Tank

The Medb guide to tanking, well here's a good guide written by someone else...

What’s a tank, you ask?

A tank is a class whose primary role is to keep the monsters’ attention and absorb damage while the other people in your group blast the monster with high-damage spells and heal you. The warrior is good at this as he/she can wear mail, and later plate, armor, and because he can use shields. Also, the warrior has innate abilities dealing with shields and maintaining agro (the attention of the monster, or mob).

First off, no matter what your specialization, always carry a one-handed weapon and shield that is current to your level with you. You will 90% of the time have to tank an instance dungeon, so not carrying a shield and 1h weapon is a death wish.

When you tank, here are some things to keep in mind:

  1. Use defensive stance, and, if you have the talent Tactical Mastery, switch between stances to utilize them to their fullest potential.
  2. Use demoralize shout not only to reduce the attack power of the mobs, but to gather the agro of multiple mobs onto you.
  3. Thunderclap is also excellent for gather multiple mobs’ agro.
  4. For most of the fighting, you will primarily be switching between using sunder armor (to reduce the armor of the mob and produce threat, letting you hold agro), shield block (helping to mitigate damage and set up for revenge), and revenge (to provide threat, a small amount of damage, and, if you have points in improved revenge, stun)
  5. Always protect the priest or primary healer at utmost costs. Taunt is your friend, but follow that taunt with a sunder. Remember, you are expendable; the rezzer (person who has the ability to resurrect) is not.
  6. Don't use guns or bows to pull the enemy, this tends to pull the mob back onto your healers and casters, instead use charge. It requires faith in your casters but they should support you and heal you.
