Tactics specific to Fam Tactics

  • TK Takes first snake, Caller takes second.
  • Monk walls at 360, Emo fusepulls.
  • IAU goes to cap rift while the monk stays at cave.

Optionals

  • The VoR can take Overload or Cry of Pain. CoP is typically used by beginners for an easy spike rotation (1234).
    Take Ebon Escape or Return, depending on your free PvE slots.
  • The MLK typically brings Ebon Escape, but it's possible to bring Shatter for a stronger spike.

Pros

Cons

  • No Arcane Echo on monk requires good Seed of Life timing.
