Guild Wars 2

So, in part 1 you talk about rotations and then give specific examples. At first I thought you meant skill rotations, but all professions have totally different skill rotations… So what exactly is a “rotation”?

the rotation of players, so 1 – 4 – 0 would mean 1 person to the near point and 4 people to the mid point. As it says in the article that notation means near – mid – far.

Yeah. Being a newbie I had no idea what near – mid – far meant. I’ve only PVE’d and my character is only level 27. So that didn’t mean much to me. Thanks for the clarification.

And thanks for the article.

No problem at all

1-4-0 is a split, not a rotation

A rotation is moving teammates from one objective to another

Edit: to elaborate, the opening split is how your team seizes the initiative in a match. It’s important because it can set the tone for the rest of the match

so I’m awful and accidently deleted the original place… Apologies here it is again:
Part 1 and 2 of a series of articles featuring 10 tips for new pvp players. on the Academy Gaming website:
Part 1: http://academygamingnet.com/tips-for-new-players-part-1/
Part 2: http://academygamingnet.com/tips-for-new-players-part-2/
An article about map specific tips has been written and will hopefully be published pretty soon.

As to the comment about splits, It seemed like rotations was a better term to use in an article focused on new players.

How would it be better to use a term that means something totally different?

Very confusing for new players
