Greetings friends,<\/p>\n

When it comes to tactics, you may want to look inward. Not every scenario will have siege, or combat archery. What do you do then \u00a0if you are only authorized in one or the other?<\/p>\n

Get authorized in multiple disciplines of course! I know several combat archers who fight with some other form of weapon: Spear, Polearm, sword and board. Whatever your poison, you should have a backup plan.<\/p>\n

Take an evert that happens in Atlantia<\/a> like War of the Wings<\/a>, there are always scenarios with combat archery, less with siege, but always rattan. If you are the kind who wants to stay active as much as possible, get authorized in spear or some other rattan weapon form. If there is a scenario where there are three battles, the first two have CA but the last does not, by being allowed to pick up a hand weapon you can still fight with your team.<\/p>\n

What about the siege\/CA combo? Siege engines are a real consideration when it comes to events. Not every event can have siege, the ones that can sometimes don’t. So what are the blockers? Perhaps there are not enough engineers? Maybe someone that has an engine doesn’t have enough people? In this case communication is key. By participating in these communities you can let them know you are available in needed. You could be the one to sway the balance.<\/p>\n

It may be the case that there are fielded engines, but an engine is left one person short to legally use. If you can safely dispose of your weapon\/gear and assist, it can easily sway a battle. Not to mention act as a guard for other approaching enemy combatants.<\/p>\n

Take a bridge battle for instance, these are target rich environments. All you as an engineer have to do is get your missile anywhere on the other side of the bridge.<\/p>\n

Only fight rattan? Grab some thrown weapons! There may be Missile Weapon Tourney<\/a>s happening you can participate in!<\/p>\n

Whether your goal is not having downtime, or simply being versatile, be all that you can be in the cross-disciplined army.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
