AIE Instance School Mission Statement

The goal of the AIE Instance School is to provide guildies with the knowledge and experience that allows them and their party members to have fun, successfully complete and enjoy five man instances. We do so by instructing out guild members about the different roles of tanking, DPS, healing and how they integrate into the instance running experience.

How Instance School Works and How to Enroll

We are still hammering out the details. More soon.

I'd like to see a "How To Enroll" section. Would this fall under this heading? -- Deci

Tanking

A tank is a character whose primary role is to absorb damage and prevent others from being attacked. Tanks are "meatshields", so to speak, putting themselves between the mobs and the more vulnerable party members. The tank assumes the aggro of the mobs and tries to keep them off other group mates.

DPS

A DPSer (Damage Per Second) is a class whose primary role is to deal damage. Damage can be inflicted either melee (physical) or magical. Usually DPS classes are considered to be more fragile and cannot survive taking damage from mobs.

Healing

Healers are responsible for keeping the tank and other party members alive. They do this by casting healing spells or by damage mitigation.

It's easy!

You can find a listing of instructors on the instructors page or in the guild forums.

Look for the following graphic for each individual role in a member's forum avatar or signature.
