After being in quite a few OCHs, it has occured to me, that the ones
that are successful, are when people kill quickly and move from one
room to the next like a fire drill. It helps when you have strong warriors
But the real key to make an OCH as efficient as possible, is the
formation which the hunt group tries to sustain.

- First and foremost, everyone should try to be in a single screen
where hunters can see each other, protect and destroy with accuracy.
- Rouges are the frontliners simply because of their agility. A warrior
can't hop over the enemy and the rouge can. Mages and poets should
almost never lead into the prey, unless there are very few fighters.
- One enemy per fighter. If the fighters are spread out, they can cover
a larger area, and the group destroys faster and more efficiently. Also
there are less gaps this way, where a monster can sneak in and kill a
poet, mage, or a low level fighter. This rule does not apply to
creatures that have a lot of vitality and need to be ganged up on.
- Protect each other, be aware of where your fellow hunters are.
Hunter's first responsibility is not to kill a boss, but to see if the
other hunters are safe. Warriors and rouges should always be in sight
of poets and mages.
- Move swiftly. If you see that you have killed the majority of the
monsters in the room, don't stick around to kill one or too that are
hiding in the corner, move on to the next room. Chances are, you'll
kill more monsters and do it faster, than if you stick around.
- Use common sense. We have hunters of all strengths on OCHs. If
you see that some are strong enough to be autonomous, follow their
lead, and pay attention to the less experienced hunters that are in
danger of dying. It really requires a little bit of brain power, because
the ochs have such variety
That is all.
Use this knowledge for good, not Evil....
Or I shall give you a lobotomy =)
