Which pillar do you like to start with?

At first run i go to the pillar with less players, second run to the pillar that dies slower

 

I prefer the right. Idk, feels closer but its all in my head

 

-Go to the one with tank(if he's s in your party). Guardian and the extra proration+ampr is nice.
-go to the opposite of the tank of your ally.
-go to the whichever has less players

Some players might choose to go to the opposite of the tank's because they want to use gsw. As a tank I usually stay in the middle and keep at least 18m away from the pillars and cast aggro buff combo from afar.

If i were to disregard these, I don't really have preference on which to start with, its completely random. The same way I chose random alternate routes whenever I ride my motorbike to my campus.

 

The big, hard, long and girthy pillar yes

 

identify the tank, then go where he/she doesn't go (my priority is to avoid EB burn)

 

I flip a coin

 

im a leftist

 

Typical example of a member who doesn't care if a mage is present. I'm always forced to cover up for these people when I am the tank. Forced to lock her down for good 10 secs to prevent people from dying early.

And if the one who went straight to Venena uses flinch and tumble non stop, I can only watch other members die because I couldn't interrupt because the timing is already messed up.
