Charger guide

[WarBlade]

Uh, I've played with it quite a bit actually.  What brought this particular non sequitur on?

You guide so far scratches the surface of the Charger.

Yes, but I'm not sure if sanctuary was bugged in the final patch.  I heard rumors about the melee bonus not applying.  Although the knockback of sanctuary is intriguing when combined with charge.  I'll edit the skills section to mention it.

Well I haven't found of if the damage bonus applies yet, but I do know that the Resistance pierce versus PI's is working just fine.

How do you target the one at the back through the ranks of its compatriots?  Seems to me you'd get blocked and stop.

Click and hold. Often contact is initiatiated with targets in the front causing you to let off one or two Charge attacks on the way to the monster at the back. The forerunners generally get pushed into the middle and then you can get a good chance at peeling off one that's just poking out a little.

Blocklock? Well since half of those who are in a position to attack will be in a state of knockback, I've never had a problem with this. Even moreso when using the likes of a Maul.

Regarding the formation of three in a row, I agree on taking an angle (if you have the speed), but the best target is not the front monster.

Never said it was,

Then say so, because your diagram indicates something quite clear, which is as good as stating that the target in the front is the one to go for.

though it makes relatively little difference in the example I gave.   Which one to target initially depends on many circumstances, there's no hard and fast rule like "target the back" or "target the middle", though generally you want to end up as far as possible from the bulk of the monsters.

Yes, there is a hard and fast rule. "Target anything that sets you up for a subsequent 'safe shot' at a target that can suffer knockback". For your diagram I'd head for the one in the middle (if I as paying attention) and immediately switch to click & hold tactics versus the one that started out closest.
