[jago quicksilver]

Know your class in and out since Nov'04, keeping it as your primary and spending 95%+ of your played hours in this game with only this class so that you're aware of every advantage and exploit to help us excell across the board. If you don't know your place in a raid, you're behind the curve Self teach yourself, don't waste too much time on forums and never talk about your secrets with the class Now for in character: Inq are meant to be in a leadership position, know the workings of every situation so that you can easily fill the holes that come up in everything that your team does. There are 2 types of Inq, those that lead others through example or those that lead through coercion. Both are perfect for being in character with the class. Know when to get your hands dirty, and know how to get them clean Ephrael of Paradigm Inner Council Career Oasis <div></div>

<P>I agree w/ Ephrael in that Inquisitors should lead groups because they know what is going on / what to expect / what the capabilties of the group are (or can at least fake it well enough).  Numerous times while leveling up, I ran into situations where the tank was suicidal and would...ahem valiantly <bleches> charge into a room full of mobs only to find that I was already running back down the hallway at full speed.  Often (unless they were complete idiots who were only likely to get me repeatedly killed), I would go back and revive the group, ask them not to do that again, because I still needed them in order to finish whatever motives I had at that time.  </P> <P>I also agree that we should get our hands dirty, we aren't our sissy counterparts who stand back and heal, hoping not to get dirt on their polished armor.  We should be right in the melee w/ the rest handing out divine retribution for whatever god we choose to serve (or our own purposes).</P> <P>However, I disagree in that some knowledge should be shared amongst our breatherin.  Inquisitors are to be feared by all, any who do not understand the class well will degrade from the all knowing/all powerful persona that most of us hold dear.  I do agree that secrets or tricks that you learn are yours to keep because those are what will make you stand out amongst the rest.</P>

Know your limits, but never be afraid to push the limits of your character to find out what you can do.  Too many inquisitors are too comfortable doing the easy heals.  If an inquisitor never drops below 80% power, that means the tank should pull faster (given the group also has power).  Suprise yourself and other group memebers.It's a good feeling to have an "Ah Hell" moment and you come out shining with the rest of your group in the end because of it.<div></div>
