Guide to Priorities

Hi there. Me again. Today we will be discussing a subject of the bottom-most importance, but that still may one day save your ass. Welcome to the infinitely complex world of priorities. (Yes I know I suck at intros)

Now, first of all: What should you kill first, the guy killing you or the flag carrier?
Now that depends on role and class and, more importantly, WHO is trying to kill you and WHO is the flag carrier, as well as their classes. Let's try to do this for every situation:

Flag carrier is a long way away: If you are not a projectile class that has space in between you and the guy trying to kill you, WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS go for the guy trying to kill you that's the nearest. If you are a projectile class, shoot 1 or 2 projectiles at the flag carrier, kill the guy who's the biggest threat to you who's trying to kill you (archer for example), then knock back the people who are close to you, then run away a bit to get out of sword range and start shooting them. Then deal with any threats that are not attacking you that might begin attacking you soon. Only then should you start shooting random people or the flag carrier.

Flag carrier is close: If you're a melee class, then knock back the people trying to kill you (decrease their mobility if possible), then attack the flag carrier, decreasing his mobility if possible. Once someone else is there to finish the flag carrier, turn back to the people trying to kill you and kill them. Then, if the flag carrier is not dead and is still in melee range, kill him. If you're a ranged class, knock back the people trying to kill you, strike teh flag carrier with some sword strikes and then shoot the flag carrier to near a group of people that are on your team, then turn back to the guys trying to kill you and kill them.

If the guy trying to kill you is ninja, mage, heavy, soldier or medic: Whatever you do, kill them FIRST, as ninja and mage can be meleed easily and the other's armor makes them hard to kill.

If the guy trying to kill you is Assassin: Block until you're sure he used the redstone and hit once, as after an assassin hits someone with assassinate whilst they're blocking, they can't insta-kill for 3 seconds. During those 3 seconds, the assassin should still be vulnerable, so kill it. If the vulnerability has already faded, then still kill it.

Well I can't be bothered to list every single situation, so I'm gonna leave it at that. Hope you learned something from this, so yeah, kthxbai.
