Introduction

This guide will take you trough 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.

Equipment

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

Armor

Required

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.

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.
