This should be cardinal rule in wars. Always pile mages first, then rangers, then hybrids, and then melee. I noticed we did not do a good job at taking out their rangers when I started getting sniped by atleast four of them.

Ill explain why it is important to follow this order:

They are easier to kill - Mages and rangers are the easiest targets in a war because to be effective they have to stand in the middle. The dragonhide and robes are very vulnerable to melee and so are easy KOs. They also have less food, because most of the time they are carrying melee sets aswell. Because they are carrying melee gear, that means when you start to pile them they have to switch gear so you have about a two second grace period where they are not eating.

They make it hard to tank - With standard boundaries you cannot hug rangers or mages because they can shoot over the walls. Obviously you can only pray one prayer at a time, and so by taking out the mages and rangers first you ensure that all the attacks you recieve will be protected against, hence your prayers are more effective.
