Varients

Equipment
Armor: Weapons:
 * Scout's Insignias.
 * Runes of Major Marksmanship, Major Wilderness Survival, Minor Expertise, Minor Beast Mastery, and Superior Vigor.
 * A Crippling Lowbow of Defense with a "Hail to the King" or "Life is Pain" Inscription.
 * A Crippling Recurve Bow of Defense wih a "Hail to the King" or "Life is Pain" Inscription.

Usage

 * Maintain Infuriating Heat. Try to keep it far back so the enemy must run straight through the Warriors and past you to reach it.
 * Maintain Barbed Arrows. This allows the Sword Warrior to use Gash.
 * Call a Target.
 * Use Pin Down to slow a running target so the Warriors can kill it.
 * The Recurve Bow is for use with Distracting Shot.
 * Use Distracting Shot to interrupt key skills. Resurrection Signet, Aegis, Blessed Signet, Healing Signet, and Troll Unguent are good examples.
 * Use Draw Conditions to keep blind, weakness, and cripple off the Warriors.
 * Use Troll Unguent to heal yourself.

Varients

 * Use Screaming Shot instead of Barbed Arrows and switch to a Shortbow.

Team Usage

 * At the begining of the match, all team members should pull out their bows and attack the closest enemy. This will make the pets run out and attack as well.
 * The other team is forced to either deal with four rampaging wolves in their face, or kill them.
 * If they do not kill them, just attack as normal, but without IWAY. Either way, you gain the upper hand, as the pets give a significant damage boost.
 * The Ranger should be the target caller, and should stand at the back.
 * The weakest link in the chain is the Ranger and their Spirit, as they both have less healing and less armor then the Warriors. Be prepared for a team to rush the Ranger.
 * All fighting should take place near where the pets died. If the other team tries to pull you away from there, wait for them to come back.
