Introduction

This guide will take you through the steps you should take if you are interested in learning DoA. It assumes you already have a mesmer at the DoA outpost and are somewhat familiar with how the game works.

Though not required, it is also recommended that you install toolbox and familiarize yourself with at least the pcons popper.

Because the MLK role is the easiest to grasp, and is attached to the Trench Tank, it's commonly used to teach beginners in DoA.

PvE skills and titles

Get these skills and raise the rank in the corresponding titles to 5:

You Move Like a Dwarf Ebon Escape

There is no requirement for Lightbringer rank, but remember to always display it and make sure it shows up in your effects monitor. Always take the bounty if you're not max rank.

When moving on to other roles, you will need some additional PvE skills:

Pain Inverter Finish Him I Am Unstoppable Air of Superiority

Equipment

Take extra care to properly acquire all the required equipment to ensure that your build is performing properly.

Armor

Required

Normal spiking set: High health set:

Weapons

If you don't have a demon shield it's likely that someone in your team has one to give away.

Required

40/40 set: High energy set: Shield set: Any long- or flatbow:

Recommended

Consumables

If you are low on money and can't afford everything you need, ask your team. They will likely be able to fill in the gaps for your first few runs.

Required Recommended Optional
Cupcakes Pumpkin Pies Drake Kabobs
Candy Apples Lunar Fortunes Skalefin Soups
Candy Corns Throwaway summoning stones (Legio) Pahnai Salads
Golden Eggs Ghastly Summoning Stones Powerstones/Dragon Seals
War Supplies Imperial Guards
Res Scrolls
Personal DP removal
Tengu Support Flares

Practice

Read the DoA Spiking Guide. It will provide you with some basic knowledge about spiking and the skills used.

As a spiker in DoA, knowing the difference between cast- and aggro range is vital. Practice casting after moving into range instead of queueing your skills. Since your first role will be MLK, it's also important that you are able to find the glitch spot used in Veil.

If you have an hour, watch this in-depth walkthrough by Livia.

Finding a team

The Speedclear Alliance discord has a channel dedicated to new players looking to learn. Write a message there, stating your IGN and that you're interested in DoA.

You will very likely be required to install TS3 for communication.
